In the 20 years since the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect, Mexico has become a global manufacturing leader and a prime destination for investors and multinationals around the world. Yet the country’s economic growth continues to disappoint, and the rise in living standards has stalled. The root cause is a chronic productivity problem that stems from the economy’s two-speed nature. A modern, fast-growing Mexico, with globally competitive multinationals and cutting-edge manufacturing plants, exists amid a far larger group of traditional Mexican enterprises that do not contribute to growth. These two Mexicos are moving in opposite directions. The largest companies are raising productivity by an impressive 5.8 percent a year, while the productivity of small, slow-growing enterprises is falling by 6.5 percent a year (exhibit). And with employment growing faster in the traditional Mexico, more labor is shifting to low-productivity work.

Technology and data will be large, critical value drivers in media, as important as the content itself. As we have known for decades in the analog media world, great content without distribution is like a tree falling in the woods. No one hears it (or sees or reads it), and it generates very little economic value. The same will be true of great content in the future, but data and technology are quickly replacing distribution as critical value-enablers. Great content without great data and technology won’t be consumed or monetized effectively.
