STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FROM FOREIGN COMPANIES TO LOCAL COMPANIES IN MEXICO TO INCREASE REAL INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT

This research examines strategies to enhance technology transfer from foreign companies to local businesses in Mexico to boost income and employment. Despite significant foreign direct investment (FDI), Mexico has seen limited improvements in wages and high-skill job opportunities. The study will find solutions to identified problems including the dominance of foreign firms, which contribute to these challenges. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the research will collect data from 15 local and foreign companies, focusing on patent purchases, staff qualifications, and intellectual property charges. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) will be used to analyze the relationships between education, human capital, and firm performance in facilitating technology transfer. The findings will inform policy recommendations to improve local productivity, wages, and Mexico's competitiveness in the global economy.本研究旨在探索提升墨西哥外资企业向本土企业技术转移的有效策略，以实现居民收入与就业水平的双提升。尽管墨西哥吸引了大量外商直接投资（Foreign Direct Investment, FDI），但其薪资增长与高技能就业机会的改善却收效甚微。本研究将针对已识别的核心问题——包括加剧上述困境的外资企业主导格局——探寻解决方案。研究将采用定性与定量相结合的方法，从15家本土与外资企业中采集数据，研究重点涵盖专利采购、员工资质与知识产权费用。本研究将运用结构方程模型（Structural Equation Model, SEM），分析教育、人力资本与企业绩效在推动技术转移过程中的相互作用关系。研究结果将为政策制定提供实证依据，助力提升本土企业生产率、改善薪资水平，并增强墨西哥在全球经济中的整体竞争力。
