This study explores the perception of some university professors regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education teaching. Using a qualitative approach, fifty professors from various disciplines were carefully selected and interviewed to obtain their perspectives on the impact of AI in the educational field. The professors responded to a semi-structured questionnaire covering six key aspects: their general perception of AI in education, the use of AI-based tools, perceived benefits, concerns, recommendations for successful implementation, and the future vision of AI’s role in higher education. The data obtained show a positive attitude towards AI, highlighting its potential to personalize learning, automate repetitive tasks, and improve educational efficiency. However, concerns also emerged, such as the privacy of students’ data, the cost of accessing AI...

This research study aims to analyze the influence of purchase objectives on the effectiveness of trade-marketing activities implemented in supermarkets. In order to achieve this goal a survey was administered to 800 supermarket customers during their purchase process. The findings, resulting from variables association tests and proportion difference testing, suggest that consumers driven by concrete purchasing objectives are more sensitive to trade-marketing actions than those driven by abstract objectives. These findings contribute to reformulating the trade-marketing strategies implemented in supermarkets, which should rely on customer segmentation based on purchase objectives in order to achieve greater effectiveness in markets with high competitive intensity, such as the Latin American market.

This research study identifies those factors which influence the consumption of care products in the Latinamerican male segment. That's why, an instrument based on the behavorial theory was applied to 600 men living in two countries of this región and having different levels of development regarding the above mentioned category, Mexico -highly developed- and Peru -moderately developed-. The data obtained were analyzed using a model of structural equations. The results show that a subjective norm will stop men's consumption of these kinds of products. Similarly, the impact of this subjective norm will be lower in young men, allowing them to have a great aperture in the consumption of these care products.

In recent decades, collaborative initiatives have become relevant in Latin America, however, the owners of these businesses still face great challenges to mobilize consumers interest. In the research field, many collaborative consumption (CC) researchers have focused on the identification of their predictors; but studies that have explored this phenomenon via motivations perspective are very limited, especially those that focus on the Latin American context. Furthermore, these studies have analyzed on particular consumption activities and consumers with previous experience, restricting the scope of its results. To close this gap, the research has as its purpose the exploration of the motivating factors that best predict the intention to participate in CC activities into one of the three countries with the greatest number of collaborative businesses in the region. The ANOVA and CHAID are ...

Durante la última década el consumo de productos de cuidado personal masculinos y servicios ha incrementado considerablemente en una escala global. En el caso del mercado peruano, este fenómeno continúa incipiente a pesar de que el panorama económico favorable haya incrementado el consumo en diferentes categorías. Esta investigación identifica el imparto de factores no económicos en la decisión del consumo de productos de cuidado personal y servicios masculinos.

Los resultados muestran que los consumidores masculinos limitaban su intención de consumo de productos de cuidado personal dada la percepción de su entorno (norma subjetiva), a pesar de esto el consumidor masculino tiene una actitud positiva con respecto al uso de estos produc...

The homosexual population is an important consumer market for different categories, being the entertainment the most significant. Academic and commercial researchers have addressed this market focusing on developed countries, and considering it a single and homogeneous segment. The following research proposes to set the bases for a segmentation of the homosexual population in Lima, Peru, in order to understand the motives of each identified consumer segment, within the entertainment category. The results allow to identify three segments in the studied population with different demographic, psychographic and behavioral characteristics regarding the consumption of entertainment, which gives rise to different needs and opportunities to satisfy them.

Over the past decade, the supply of male personal care products and services has increased considerably on a global scale. In the case of the Peruvian market, this phenomenon is still incipient despite a favorable economic outlook that has boosted the consumption in different categories. This research identifies factors that influence the consumption decision of this kind of products for the male segment. To do this, the authors used the Theory of Planned Behavior of Ajzen. The results show that male consumers´ perception of his environment (subjective norm) restrains the intention of consumption of personal care products, even though the male consumer has a positive attitude toward using of these products. These factors would reflect the existence of deeply rooted taboos in Peruvian culture, based on a traditional view of man.
