A qualitative research was conducted to which twenty-six people from fourteen different stakeholders from the GVC were interviewed for data collection.

Este artículo analiza la influencia de la gobernanza en la transmisión y adopción de criterios de sostenibilidad en la cadena global de valor (CGV) automotriz-autopartista argentina, y la posibilidad real de que las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYME) logren mejoras a través de estos criterios. Se llevó a cabo una investigación cualitativa y se entrevistó a veintiséis personas de catorce diferentes actores de la CGV. Como conclusión, la gobernanza de los criterios de sostenibilidad se manifiesta más como multipolar que como cautiva: hay muchos actores que influyen en los criterios de sostenibilidad, además de las empresas líderes. Aún así, las oportunidades de mejora en cuanto a la sostenibilidad son escasas para las PYME que no proveen a estas empresas, encontrándose en desventaja en términos de sostenibilidad. Además, a veces las PYME de un país en desarrollo se enfrentan a situaciones de desmejoras en cuanto a sostenibilidad que podrían neutralizar las oportunidades de mejora.
