CARRILLO, JORGE  e  LARA RIVERO, ARTURO A.. Maquiladoras en México y coordinación centralizada: ¿Una nueva generación de empresas?. CDC [online]. 2003, vol.20, n.54, pp.121-148. ISSN 1012-2508.

The central hypothesis of this work is that a new type, or fourth generation, of maquiladora company is being created. The connectivity intra and intercompany, and not just the company's inherent activities, needs to be addressed. The evolution of different generations may be schematized in terms of the following evolutionary process: manual work ® rational work ® creative work ® non-material coordination work. Because of this, along with the emergence of new coordination capabilities among the maquiladoras, the construction of a new generation of maquiladoras becomes imperative.
