Abstract
Este trabajo explora si la adopción de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC) y, en particular, el comercio electrónico, tienen un efecto directo en la extensión y configuración de las redes de producción global, atendiendo a las decisiones de internacionalización e internalización de las empresas manufactureras españolas. Para realizar el análisis, se consideran las transacciones en el mercado final que tienen lugar a través del comercio electrónico, entre productor y consumidor B2C (business to customer), y también las transacciones intermedias entre empresas B2B (business to business). Los resultados confirman que el comercio electrónico B2C favorece en general la actividad internacional de las empresas españolas, El comercio electrónico B2B, por el contrario, promueve una mayor concentración geográfica de la producción. Estos hallazgos permiten afirmar que adoptar el comercio electrónico contribuye a la reconfiguración de la red de producción global, configurándose un proceso dinámico que vincula digitalización e internacionalización.
This paper analyses whether the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT), and particularly e-commerce, has a direct effect on the extension and configuration of global production networks, taking into account the decisions of internationalization and internalization of Spanish manufacturing companies. For this purpose, the final market transactions through B2C e-commerce (business to customer) and intermediate transactions through B2B e-commerce (business to business) are considered. Our results confirm that, overall, B2C e-commerce favors the international activity of Spanish companies. On the other hand, B2B e-commerce promotes the geographical concentration of production. Findings allow us to confirm that the adoption of e-commerce contributes to the reconfiguration of global production networks, describing a dynamic process between digitization and internationalization.
