Resumen
The following paper shows how the automobile industry in Colombia can be affected and what would be the pros and cons of the signing of the Free Trade Agreement with the Republic of Korea. This is based on the different agents who have a direct presence in that industry, which are: the consumers, the merchants, the producers (assembly plants) and the national government. Likewise, globalization is a fundamental aspect of world economies that generates the opening of these and strengthens the signature of different agreements, which allow to improve the trade and to decrease the prices of goods and services between countries. But in this case the above mentioned opening, it cannot be beneficial for the Colombian automobile industry due to the big differences in capacity of production and technology between both countries. Finally, comparisons are made between both economies and their automotive industries in order to find the points in which Colombia is weaker, and to look for strategies that allow to offset the negative effects that can the Free Trade Agreement bring. Moreover, the research was focused on seeking for opportunities to improve the technological development and stimulate the investment to consolidate the Colombian industry on the market.
