| Abstract: | A description of the origin and development of the maquiladora industry is offered. In colonial Mexico a maquila was the fee that a miller collected for processing grain. Today's maquiladoras are processing facilities. They process and assemble myriad products. The "maquiladora program" is also known as the "twin plant", "production sharing", or "in-bond" program. According to the program, the labour-intensive production processes would occur in Mexico and the rest of the processes in the USA. The anticipated twins have not emerged, however. It is shown that the industry raises unique challenges in the area of human resource management. A detailed analysis of the distinctive "people problems" are presented. |
