| Abstract: | Internationally, manufacturers are facing increasing competitive pressure resulting from liberalization of inter-country trading practices and consumer demands. Trade barriers, such as tariffs, are being reduced or have been removed altogether. Additionally, the regional free-trade agreements, such as U.S.-Canada-Mexico Free Trade Agreements, and the European Community (EC), have opened national boundaries to intra-regional trade. Many Mexican companies which relied on cheap labour and had little outside competition are now threatened by technically more advanced companies. |
