This paper focuses of the mechanisms of adaptation to the local context or hybridization several firms are implementing in Argentina. The research have studied in two selected cases the rationality of the transfer made by carmakers in its own factories, and the particular links established among the network firms. This paper aims at assessing the differences or similarities in generating competencies among the suppliers in two netwoks from the automotive industrial sector. The theoretical hypothesis of the study is that the characteristics of the new information -and comunication- intensive technological paradigm, as well as changes in demand, redefine the production rationality of the firm and of the competence-achieving process. These characteristics imply a revaluation of the learning process in increasing the competitiveness of the firms and in their appropriation of quasi-rents.
