Abstract :This study investigates the potential for Mexican manufacturing firms to play a pivotal role in advancing the manufacturing sector over areas of Central America. The research evaluates Mexico\\\'s infrastructure and business environment, drawing comparisons with its key players, Panama and El Salvador. The study explores whether Mexican manufacturing firms possess a competitive advantage. Employing a two-stage process utilizing the Chi-Square and Marascuilo procedure of multiple comparisons, the research utilizes data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey databank. The findings suggest Panama\\\'s infrastructure and business environment significantly surpass Mexico and El Salvador. The study reveals that El Salvador outperforms Mexico and Panama in three of four dimensions of business synergy. Findings indicate Mexico cannot assume a leading role for these reasons.
