Abstract: The aim of the present study was to analyze the performance and creation of technological capabilities of multinational companies in the sector in Tijuana Baja California, Mexico. The multiple case studies methodology was applied. The research design was not experimental. The primary sources of information were the design and implementation of a survey of corporate managers, interviews with experts and visits to some multinational plants. The criteria used in this study was to determine the level of technological capabilities. We identify the skills developed in the target group company under study, by the activities undertaken to improve processes and products, to adapt technology and to generate and manage technical change. We conclude there are two poles in the position of companies. One pole sees the region as a source of learning and knowledge. The other pole considers Mexico a platform for labor to low cost
