Abstract

BUFFALO, Luciana. Territory and entrepeneural practices in the postcovertibility: the metal-mechanic industrial sector in Cordoba city, Argentina. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.1. ISSN 1853-4392.

The main purpose of this article is to analyze business practices in small industrial and metalmechanical firms, focusing on a period characterized by a profound social and productive crisis in the year 2001, which has been followed by a significant recovery in the sector in the subsequent years. In that sense, qualitative techniques and data analysis are made use of, such as in-depth interviews, in-situ and participant observation; as well as quantitative sources, such as existing statistical information. The entrepeneural practices are conceived as existing in time and space simultaneously, resulting that interrelation in a particular spatial dynamism which reveals the heterogeneity between agents with diferential logics in their practices.

Keywords : Productive restructuration; Metal-mechanical industry; Agent's practices.
