Abstract

The impact of multinational subsidiaries or Foreign Direct Investment in host economies had been subject of debate for years (Hirschman, 1958). Recently the researchers and government institutions in México are being attracted to the subject because of the interest on the impact of foreign multinational subsidiaries that operate as an anchor company of a value chain, and more specifically in the local supplier development.The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the home appliance sector in México and Nuevo
León, presenting the statistical data and a theoretical framework of supplier development in order to set a model for further investigations.
