We make a comparison with the United States and India, two relevant countries in terms of global software and computer services production. The countries in comparison are inserted in a differentiated way in the new international division of labor: the United States as a central country, India as a producer of low-value industrial manufactures based on cheap labor, and Argentina producing agricultural and industrial manufactures with low value added. We introduce this differentiation under the hypothesis that the way in which the region to which each of the countries in comparison belongs is inserted influences their trajectories as software suppliers. We seek to understand what type of software is produced in Argentina and under which valorization conditions. El artículo se propone analizar la inserción internacional de la producción de software y servicios informáticos de Argentina a partir del concepto de complejidad del trabajo. Recurrimos a una comparación con Estados Unidos e India, dos países relevantes en su producción mundial de software. Los países en compara­ción se insertan de manera diferente en la división internacional del trabajo: Estados Unidos como país central, India como productor de manufacturas de origen industrial de bajo valor en base a mano de obra barata, y Argentina produciendo manufacturas de origen agrario e industrial de bajo valor agregado. Introducimos esta diferenciación bajo la hipótesis de que la forma en que se inserta la región a la que pertenece cada uno de los países en comparación influye en sus trayectorias como proveedores de software. Se busca comprender qué software es producido en la Argentina y en base a qué condiciones de valorización. application/pdf text/html https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2707 10.56503/H-Industria/n.32(17)pp.81-104 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2707/3479 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2707/3480 H-industria.
