The local home town
Monterrey, Nuevo León is well known to be an important city for doing business. Here you might find Mexican companies but also manufacturing centers from all around the world and of course, also commercial organizations for trading, shipping/receiving and keeping inventory in different kinds of warehouse management methods.
Reviewing some numbers from 2021, we can see that Nuevo León got more than 2,300 million (usd) in foreign investment in all 2021 (Cluster Industrial, January 2022). During the first 9 months in 2021, the state of Nuevo León speeded up its economic upturn by getting the 2nd place in foreign direct investment in all Mexico. You might find companies from the United States, Germany and China, among other countries.
By taking a quick look in 2021, 38% of the investments in Nuevo León belong to manufacturing centers of tools, machinery and home appliances. Going forward, 24% belongs to automotive industry, 13% of logistics and warehouse companies and 6% of electronic trade companies (Cluster Industrial, January 2022).
From the local home town to the challenge as a country: Mexico
I just described my home town Monterrey, but as an entire country, Mexico has so many challenges to improve its productivity. Despite its location next to the United States and Canada, there are so many actions to increase Mexico´s productivity (World Bank report, March 2022).
The World Bank released a report in which a complete analysis was done from 1994 till 2019. It is true that nowadays the Covid-19 pandemic is a huge challenge to tackle, but what about the 25 years from 1994 till 2019?
It is a chance to help. There are so many things to do. Education is a key element. As you read above, Mexico is linked with other countries around the world by global commerce. We must know how to communicate in English with other people around the world.
In this paper, my goal is to help college students and graduate professionals that are looking to get more confidence by improving their communication skills in English. There are so many tasks to do in order to provide high quality education that can tackle more complex problems in the world economy. This will help young graduates and professionals to meet skills from the job seekers and the company requirements to get a job.
The goal to reach
The whole idea of writing in English is to help other people to practice their English skills, in this case by reading in this language. But I want to go further. As explained in previous papers, the main topic here is supply chain management and its related topics, such as Material Planning, Vendor Management and International Logistics.
In the next paper, I want to share more ideas to keep practicing. Technical skills are extremely important but also we must learn how to communicate effectively. There are so many global problems in Supply Chain, such as material shortage and transportation issues just to mention two among other ones. I do appreciate your time by reading this article. Let’s keep writing and reading.
