REYES ALVAREZ, Juan. Exploration, Exploitation and Spillovers of Knowledge in the Automotive Industry. The Case of Delphi Mexico, a Patent Analysis. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2018, n.48, pp.39-74. ISSN 2448-7481.  https://doi.org/10.24275/etypuam/ne/482018/reyes.

The automotive industry in Mexico is thought as generating economic spillovers but also technological spillovers. The supplier Delphi has served as an example to describe a generation of knowledge-based maquiladoras in some literature. In this regard, this paper aims to question whether the firm has generated technological spillovers in Mexico. For this, the concepts of exploration and exploitation of knowledge are retaken, analyzing patents of the company and focusing on incorporating Mexican inventors.
