Resumen
This article demonstrates government and foreign direct investment in influencing the formation and development of the electronics cluster in Guadalajara, Mexico. The organizational limitations and the lack of planning in the technological learning process aside, the triple helix paradigm has become critical in upgrading the electronics industry in Guadalajara. The study analyzes technology transfer and its adaptation through technical and research cooperation within national and international innovation systems. It also examines the role of multinational corporations within the triple helix model, and how they impact upon the formation, growth and development of an electronics cluster in Guadalajara. © The Author(s), 2010.
