Owing to the complexity of the subsystems involved in the automotive industry, a system dynamics approach was selected to develop the simulation model based on a case study. Nevertheless, because of the standard structure of the proposed model, it can be generalized to other automotive companies. The model provides a detailed causal analysis of how supply networks and local conditions interact. The results show the strong relationship existing between the local suppliers and the OEM at the core of the cluster, which can generate competitive advantages in the region. However, it can also create a gap in the local supply chains and in the labor capital when the demand of the OEM decreases due to factors such as the global economic crisis. The results reveal how clusters with a strong centralized structure in one industry make them highly specialized. However, the lack of effective public support policies makes them weaker in front of the variability imposed by globalization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549710393259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,19]],"date-time":"2011-01-19T20:46:42Z","timestamp":1295470002000},"page":"711-725","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Global economic crisis and Mexican automotive suppliers: impacts on the labor capital"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Cuauht\u00e9moc","family":"Sanchez-Ramirez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"COMIMSA (National Council of Science and Technology), Department of Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Science, Calle Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda No. 790, ZP 25290, Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Gast\u00f3n Cedillo-Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COMIMSA (National Council of Science and Technology), Department of Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Science, Calle Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda No. 790, ZP 25290, Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, or"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Perez-Villanueva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COMIMSA (National Council of Science and Technology), Department of Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Science, Calle Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda No. 790, ZP 25290, Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Martinez-Flores","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Popular Aut\u00f3noma del Estado de Puebla, Interdisciplinary Center for Postgraduate Studies, Research, and Consulting, 21 Sur 1103, Colonia Santiago, ZP 45201, Puebla, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Economic Outlook","author":"Oecd.","year":"2008"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"In Defense of American Cars","author":"Snow D.","year":"2008"},{"key":"atypb3","unstructured":"Amia. http:\/\/www.amia.com.mx (2009, accessed June 2009)."},{"key":"atypb4","unstructured":"Inegi. http:\/\/www.inegi.gob.mx (2009, accessed September 2009)."},{"key":"atypb5","unstructured":"Autofacts. http:\/\/www.autofacts.com (2010, accessed March 2010)."},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 13th Annual International Conference of Industrial Engineering Theory, Applications and Practice","author":"S\u00e1nchez C."},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Industrial Dynamics","author":"Forrester J.","year":"1961"},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"Dynamic Analysis of Industrials Systems","author":"Cedillo MG","year":"2008"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-349-11336-1"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/089124240001400105"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Brenner T.
