• Resumen

  • The article discusses Mexico's refusal to become a part of the global information economy. The author offers a case study of Enrique Reynaud, whose biotechnology start-up company Biohominis, failed due to lack of government support, factors contributing to Mexico's innovation dysfunction, such as a lack of academic-industrial collaboration, and the partnership between Mexican scientist Horatio Montes de Oca and a British laboratory to develop his invention.
