SDSU Business Honors Program Visits
Tijuana Maquiladoras
On March 28, 2008, the Business Honors Program sent 19 undergraduate students and program director, Dr. Carol Venable, to explore two Tijuana assembly plants (maquiladoras). The trip, sponsored by the Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) was designed to help the students develop into business professionals who are aware of the current issues and problems affecting the local, national, and global business environments.
Two representatives from the Tijuana Economic Development Council accompanied the students as they toured two maquiladoras: Easton Maquiladora and Medegen Manufacturing. The Easton Maquiladora site manufactures custom hockey sticks and bicycle wheel rims for professionals and refurbishes football equipment for many universities and high schools. Medegen Manufacturing produces medical devices and components for the healthcare industry.
In preparation for the trip, Dr. James Gerber, professor of economics and director for Latin American Studies at SDSU, met with the students in their seminar and discussed the economy of Mexico and the economic impact of the greater Tijuana-San Diego business area. This trip gave the students a chance to put into action the business concepts and accounting treatment described in their textbooks.
