El objetivo de la presente investigación es hallar el valor fundamental de la empresa Leche Gloria S.A. (en adelante, Gloria o la Empresa) al cierre del 2017, teniendo como referencia el precio cotizado por dicha empresa al mismo periodo. Para este fin, utilizamos el método de flujo de caja descontado tomando en consideración como fuentes de información los estados financieros auditados de los periodos 2008 al 2017, además de fuentes como Class & Asociados, Apoyo & Asociados, Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP), Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI), Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL), Ministerio de Agricultura y Riesgo (MINAGRI) y herramientas como el Bloomberg. Adicionalmente se utilizó también el método de múltiplos comparables. En el primer método, se empleó el valor del WACC calculado de 9,72% y un CAPM de 11,36%, con lo cual obtenemos un valor para l...

(LP) of dissocial behavior indicators. Such findings compel to suspect the presence of dissocial personality in that population. On the purpose to add knowledge to this problem, the present paper analyses the concept of dissocial personality and discusses the results of a pilot-study that evaluated its presence in recently admitted students to San Marcos University´s School of Medicine. In the first evaluation, it was found that 33 out of 175 students resulted positive to dissocial behavior indicators (LP: 19%). From this group, 30 showed up for a second diagnostic evaluation; 5 exceeded the cut-off point to dissocial personality and 11 showed scores very close to it, raising suspiciousness of such development. Upon these results we claim the university must accept the responsibility to continue researching this area, create early preventive-therapeutic interventions and curricula innov...
