Ecuador's economy has been characterized as a supplier

of raw materials in the international market while

importing goods and services with higher added value. The

constant and unforeseen changes in international commodity

prices, and its difference from the increasing prices of

products with higher value added and high technology, have

placed the Ecuadorian economy in a situation of unequal

exchange subject to the vagaries the world market (Exhibit

1).

Aware of this situation, the government of President

Rafael Correa, boosted from the start of a process

management changing pattern of productive specialization of

the economy that allows the Ecuador generate added

production in the context of building more value a

knowledge society.

Transform the productive matrix is one of the greatest

challenges in the country, which will allow Ecuador to

overcome the current generation model riches hub, inclusive

and based on natural resources, democratic, and inclusive

model based on knowledge and capacities and Ecuadorians.

In regard to what we call productive matrix, the

expression for the way society is organized to produce

certain goods and services is not limited to purely

technical or economic, but also has to do with the whole

interactions among social actors using the resources they

have at their disposal to carry out productive activities.

In this set, which includes products, production processes

and the resulting social relations of these processes,

called productive matrix.1

Different combinations of these elements generate a

pattern of specialization. For example, Ecuador's economy

has been characterized by the production of commodities for

the international market, with little or no mechanization

and high concentration levels of earnings.2

These characteristics are determined that our primary

specialization pattern - exporter, the country could not

overcome throughout his Republican era.

The pattern of primary specialization - exporter of

Ecuador's economy has helped increase their vulnerability

to changes in commodity prices in the international market.

Ecuador is a highly unequal exchange situation by

increasing the differential between the prices of raw

materials and products with higher value added and high

technology. This forces the country to intensify the

exploitation of natural resources only to try to keep their

income and consumption patterns.

The purpose of this paper is to focus the productive

forces of our country through the optimal application of

structural development that has been taking place the last

years. Ecuador has dragged the deficit in the trade balance

for five years, generating an instability due to the

outflow of foreign exchange (Exhibit 2). That is why a

change in the productive structure of the country from an

extractive commodity model to a value-added model on these

same raw materials is more than necessary. Today, there are

many questions about the guidelines that have been followed

to control the deficit and others on Matrix Production by

the Ecuadorian State. But down the road are realities that

are part of the landscape that have enterprise level, which

management skills should focus on looking for opportunities

on the reality that is not to analyze whether what has been

done is right or not.3

There are strategic sectors (Exhibit 3), and in them,

great opportunities to achieve greater openness productive

industries that can go meet the needs of the country in a

constant replacement of key importaciones.La is this

process is to focus the work on four major principles:

Diversification of production, value added generation,

import substitution, and Increased exports.

The government creates incentives(Exhibit 4) and to

prevent problems, approved the Law of Incentives for

Productive Sector, which aims to compensate for the

resignation of the ATPDEA Ecuador4; Offset the reduction in

revenue that could have Ecuadorian products by establishing

unilateral sanctions or the imposition of tariffs, is the

goal of the draft Law on Incentives for Productive Sector.

Ecuador unilaterally renounced the Andean Trade Preferences

System (ATPDEA) and that could affect the sector.

In conclusion, the pattern of specialization primary

extractive exporter and has possibly been the most serious

problem of the Ecuadorian economy throughout the Republican

era. Get over effectively giving a total shift in the

structure of the country and allow the construction of the

country Ecuador Good Living it craves.

The government has taken important steps towards a new

equitable and inclusive economic and social order, strongly

driving the transformation of the pattern of specialization

of the economy. Substantial improvements in indicators of

capacity building in the context of education and the use

of connectivity technologies and telecommunications, have

also made progress in systemic productivity infrastructure

such as roads, scientific development, change of energy mix

and staffing of essential goods and services.

However, meeting this historic challenge demand deepen

the results achieved through coordinated and planned all

long-term efforts and all. The transformation of the

productive matrix generator will make the country and

exporting higher value added through the use of knowledge

and human talent, including new actors on the basis of an

adequate redistribution and equity, thus ensuring the Good

Life.
