Abstract
This work’s objective is to identify, and to classify the different types of bonds established between the assembly enterprises in the electric electronic sector in Tamaulipas with the local and foreign agents. The work is supported in a multicase study methodology. The methodology is applied by Marin and Giuliani (2006) that allows them to measure the bonds looking for the frequency, stability, the degree of cohesion, the fragility of the relationships, the interoperability, the interdependence of the diverse agents of study, and also its graphic representation through the Netdraw software. The classification of the enterprises involved in the study was obtained with the enterprises with fragile local ties and strong bonds with their headquarters. The evaluation of these bonds allowed them to classify them as globally diversified (enterprises A and B); Globally dependent (C); Globally Independent (E); and Globally Isolated (E).

Tamaulipas’ border has an economy based on the exporting assembly industry
The objective of this work is to determine the type of bonds that are established by the assembly enterprises in the electric electronic sector in Mexico, through a case study and applying a specific methodology (Marin & Giuliani, 2006), that allows us to measure how the related enterprises in Transnational foreign enterprises (EET) with productive and nonproductive local agents
The results show that the assembly Enterprise A is found among the globally diversified (Gdiv) enterprises with a value of 19.68 in a 0 to 24 scale due to the integration in the international market, that is actively made through the central corporation, and with the knowledge bonds that have been established with foreign enterprises and some educational centers in the same country
Summary
Tamaulipas’ border has an economy based on the exporting assembly industry. This is a type of industry that is highly dependent on direct foreign investment (IED) due to the fact that it represents a model that promotes the insertion in global chains of value to increase the exports, to generate new jobs, to obtain currencies, and the imports on raw materials and components (Carrillo, Hualde, & Quintero, 2005; Contreras, Carrillo, & Olea, 2012) Between 2003 and 2013, the annual rate growth of the IED was 7.36% (SE, 2015). The manufacturing industry was the main destination of the IED, received by the state in 2013. Tamaulipas got 6th place in the country because of the number of businesses (420 enterprises) that represented 6.7% of the total. The main part of the enterprises of this type are foreign (INEGI, 2015)
