OROZCO HERNANDEZ, María Estela. Entre la competitividad local y la competitividad global: floricultura comercial en el Estado de México. Convergencia [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.45, pp.111-160. ISSN 2448-5799.

This study has the aim to show that the renewed impulse to the production of cut flowers in the State of Mexico, Mexico, has modeled a new type of external economy which characterizes the fortification of the relations with the international market, the artificial improvement of the time's economy in the places of the production, as well as the systematization of the flower offer and the commercialization process. The factors of the new economic model have changed towards the outside, but on the inside of the production areas the advantage of the basic resources favors technological change and the interests from some companies that have increased their individual and corporative productivity in the national and international market.
