The purpose of the study was to propose and apply a quick methodology for elaborating a baseline of the accomplishment of university accreditation criteria in university careers, with the perception of the professors and academic authorities and to apply it to a city. MEBAUAC is original and has permitted the establishment of a baseline. There were not found previous similar methodologies. The instrument of the evaluation is original too, and was applied to the evaluation of the accomplishment of university accreditation criteria of engineering careers with a sample of 73 professors and academic authorities of engineering careers in the city of Lima, capital of Peru. Using the proposed methodology, there were results of the accomplishment of the following criteria: (a) the knowledge of the adequate strategies of teaching-learning processes by professors, (b) the implementation of welfare...

The innovation on information technologies (IT) is commonly treated as a purpose by itself; however, with this point of view, the managers, especially the chief technology officers or IT managers, don’t necessarily take into account the value generation of the information technologies for the organizations in whose this type of operations and projects are developed and implemented, with the consequent loss of value. In this paper, a logic sequence for evaluating the value generation of the innovations on information technologies is presented, which consists in the following themes: (1) How the organizations generate value?, (2) How the innovations on information technologies generate value?, and (3) How can the organizations calculate the value generation of innovations on information technologies? Finally, some conclusions and recommendations for future researches are presented.

De la revisión de la literatura sobre estándares internacionales de calidad relacionados a la gestión de tecnología de información (COBIT, ISO/IEC 12207, ISO/IEC 17799, ISO/IEC 20000 (ITIL), PMBOK, ISO/IEC 27001, IEEE 1058-1998, ISO 9001:2000 e ISO 19011:2002), MoProSoft 1.3, y las normas relacionadas a la auditoría informática en el Estado Peruano, se concluye que no existe una metodología para la auditoría integral de la gestión de la tecnología de información. Los enfoques actuales están basados sobre el proceso general de auditoría sumándoles las inclusiones no integradas de los diversos estándares de calidad internacional, o las normas vigentes para las entidades que son sujetas de evaluación en una auditoría. El objetivo de la tesis fue el desarrollo de una metodología para la auditoría integral de la gestión de la tecnologías de información (MAIGTI), con un ...

The purpose of the study was to develop a methodological proposal for improving the management of the innovation maturity until the level 3 of the Integrated Innovation Maturity Model (I2MM), considering an integrated methodological approach which includes the good management practices of the following management areas: (a) strategic management, (b) project management, (c) innovation models and innovation methods, (d) standards for innovation management, (e) knowledge management, and (f) financial management. As result, MIM3, the Methodology of Innovation Management for obtaining the level 3 of the I2MM in the organizations, is presented.

The purpose of the article was to develop a methodology for evaluating performance of e-mail servers and to compare the performance of e-mail servers based on free software (freeware and open source software) with the performance of payment licensed e-mail servers, with an integrated focus. For obtaining this purpose, a descriptive and experimental study was developed, which population included 33 e-mail servers. Two e-mail servers with free license (Sendmail and Postfix) and two e-mail servers with payment license (Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino) were compared. For evaluating the performance (antispam capacity, antivirus filtering, and server resource consumption), special applications for that purpose were used. Finally, it was determined that the two products of e-mail servers implemented with free software (Sendmail and Postfix) had higher performance than the two licensed e-mai...

The purpose of this paper, is to propose a framework for solving conflicts of mining projects, based on the inclusion of: a) the alignments to the project management framework of the Project Management Institute, b) the implementation of an Integrated Sustainable Development Program, c) a public surrender of accounts, and d) the continuous audit processes by internal institutions and by external, independent and international institutions. This proposed framework was contextualized to the Tía María mining project in Peru; also, a generic solution framework is presented. Finally, some recommendations for future researches were proposed.

The financial theory about the increased market of mergers and acquisitions in the world, presented diverse reasons for entering into this type of strategic processes, different results about the success or the failure after some years of functioning, and diverse approaches for a better comprehension about financial and non financial variables which are related to those results. In this paper, these themes were explained with a special attention to the market of mergers and acquisitions in Latin America, due to its special characteristics as emerging market and concluded that although the approaches for studying the mergers and acquisitions are so diverse, the proposition of another approaches for researching mergers and acquisitions in Latin America could be related to the situation of the firms to be joined (financial and non financial), the management of those processes, the character...

This research studied the relationships among the consensus, the cohesion, the conflict and the potency of the top management teams in a textile and apparel sector. In order to achieve its goal, this study used four validated scales: (a) Strategic Orientation of Business Enterprises Scale for measuring consensus, (b) Perceived Cohesion Scale for measuring cohesion, (c) Interpersonal Conflict Scale for measuring conflict, and (d) Guzzo, Yost, and Campbell Scale for measuring potency. The conclusions were the following: (a) by well managing cohesion, consensus and conflict, the top management team can acquire potency, (b) the used scales with small changes are appropriate for evaluating the constructs, and (c) the proposed model was validated, with the precision that the influence of cohesion by itself seems not too important. Finally, some topics were suggested for future researches.

The purpose of this study was to propose a model for understanding the relationships among the Total Quality Management (TQM) Practices and the Performance, considering the culture, the industrial sector and the size of the firms. After the evaluation of the proposed model in a specific developing country, some conclusions were the following: (a) TQM Practices had a significant relationship with the operational performance of the private firms, but not for all types of firms, (b) TQM practices which were most related with the operational performance of firms which produced services: (i) in small firms were: the training of the workers, the management commitment, and the customer focus, (ii) in medium firms were: quality management of providers, product design, and the management commitment, and (iii) in the big firms were: product design, management commitment and customer focus, and c) ...

There are few bibliometric studies showing current technologies and their combinations for the remediation of contaminated soils. For this reason, a scientometric study was carried out in order to know the trends in soil contamination treatment technologies. The study considered original articles and reviews published in the Scopus and Web of Science databases between January 2010 and June 2021, evaluating: (a) characteristics of the publications, (b) main research sources, (c) citations and production by journals, (d) keywords used, (e) countries, institutions and authors active in research production, (f) most cited articles and (g) trends in soil treatment and remediation techniques. The results showed: (a) continuous growth of publications on soil remediation in the “Environmental Science” subject area and a limited contribution of the “Soil Science” and “Agriculture and Bi...
