Modelos de desarrollo de software de exportación en el contexto de una región emergente: Caso área metropolitana de Monterrey, análisis de campo por el método de regresión lineal múltiple

Keywords: Metroplitan Area of Monterrey, model, softwareAbstract. The objective of this document is to give to know the advantages that the different successful development models have offered for companies development of export software, making a synthesis from the CMM, until arriving to the CMMI, without stopping to make a critical analysis on the two models that have identified the critical factors for the export of software of thecalled countries of "3I" that they have demonstrated its success in this segment like: the model of factors of success for the software export (Heeks and Nicholson, 2002) and the model Oval (Carmel, E., 2003b), giving the minimum recommendations to the Mexican companies, developments of software export, have the competitiveness required in the international environment. This work is the result of the bibliographical revision of the models of softwaredevelopment and it is part of the doctoral thesis, about a sample of 40 companies developments of software export and the critical factors: Standard technological, Capacity of technological innovation, Formation of human capital, financial Capital and Support in investigation and development, with the purpose of identifying the opportunity areas to improve their international competitiveness, besides the economic results that can be obtained. The present study is based on the application of the statistical technique of the model of multiple lineal regressions, giving the following values: R= 0.549, R2 =0.302, R2 Ajus = 0.275. The positioning of the companies Mexican developments of software export and, in the particular case in the Metropolitan Area of theCity of Monterrey, in the world market of software and related services, it will depend: that the Oompany has a model to develop software export; of the consolidation of managerial associations of TI for the development of the export software and of the development of managerial consortia of export software in the Metropolitan Area of the City of Monterrey that they come to consolidate thisindustry in the northeast of the country.Palabras clave: Area metropolitana de Monterrey, modelo, SoftwareResumen.

Strategically Strengthening The Software Export Sector: A Benchmarking Comparison Of National Experience

Software as a product for export has proven to be a major economic engine in several economies, including those of India and Ireland. Current development efforts underway in Costa Rica by a variety of firms contribute to the potential for software development to become a key export sector in the Costa Rican economy. However, potential roadblocks in the form of governmental restrictions could impair the sectors promise and inhibit the growth the sector is capable of encouraging. In order to identify strategic priorities to strengthen the software export sector, a comparative study of the situation in Costa Rica and key factors for successful software export are discerned. Heeks and Nicholson (2002) investigated three countries noted for their success with software exports: India, Ireland and Israel. Success variables previously identified by researchers were analyzed by Heeks and Nicholson, producing five key factor dimensions identified as contributing to the success of those three economies. It is these five key factor dimensions on which Costa Ricas current situation are assessed.
