Pontificia Universidad Católica Del Perú Escuela PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ ESCUELA DE POSGRADO Consulting Report – Toulouse Lautrec TESIS PARA OBTENER EL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN ADMINISTRACIÓN DE NEGOCIOS OTORGADO POR LA PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ PRESENTED BY Marcial Ivo Silva Mercado Luis Enrique Arteaga Díaz Advisor: Pablo José Arana Barbier Surco, September 2019 Acknowledgments This report could not have been developed without the help of our friends Carina and Claudia, to whom we greatly appreciate your support. In addition, to Frida Melgar, representative of Toulouse Lautrec, for the support that allowed to finish this work. Dedications We dedicate this work to our families, for the unconditional support in our lives. In addition, to our colleagues in this program for helping us develop professionally and learn from them. Abstract Toulouse Lautrec is an Escuela de Educación Superior in Peru, the first institution in the country to obtain the SUNEDU licensing to operate as an escuela. It also belongs to the Educa group, to which also belongs Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de América Latina and the CERTUS Institute. The educational center was founded in 1983, being one of the first to focus on creative careers. Currently, TLS offers specialization in six subjects. Also, to offer a quality education, the company has two business units, Antegrado and Educación Continua. The company employs more than 900 professors, with a student body of 7,500 and more than 6,000 graduates. In recent years, one of the main challenges for TLS is to improve the image and profitability of Educación Continua business unit, which operates in the four buildings that the company has, sharing spaces with Antegrado in the campuses of Santiago de Surco and Magdalena, while at the sede of San Miguel and Independencia it operates 100%. To achieve the objective, the CENTRUM consulting team held meetings with the company to identify the problem and propose the optimal solution. After conducting an analysis of the company, it was determined that the problem to be solved is the low percentage of use of classrooms, mainly at the sede of San Miguel. In the course of the consultancy and with the commitment of TLS representatives, it was proposed to establish an innovation center at San Miguel. This implies enabling co-working spaces. The budget to implement this proposal amounts to S/608,600, and will give as a result a net present value of S/495,538. It is expected to develop this plan in September 2019 and have the spaces enabled by January 2020. The result of this proposal will bring sustained growth in the operating margin of sede San Miguel.

Además, pertenece al grupo Educa, al cual también pertenecen la Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de América Latina y el instituto CERTUS. El centro educativo fue fundado en el año 1983, siendo uno de los primeros en enfocarse en carreras creativas. En la actualidad, TLS ofrece especialización en seis temas. Asimismo, para ofrecer una educación de calidad, la empresa tiene dos unidades de negocio, Antegrado y Educación Continua. La empresa emplea a más de 900 docentes, con un alumnado de 7,500 estudiantes y más de 6,000 graduados. En los últimos años, uno de los principales retos para TLS es mejorar la imagen y rentabilidad de la unidad de negocio de Educación Continua, la cual opera en los cuatro edificios que tiene la empresa, compartiendo espacios con Antegrado en los campuses de Santiago de Surco y Magdalena, mientras que en las sedes de San Miguel e Independencia opera al 100%. Para lograr el objetivo, el equipo de consultoría de CENTRUM, sostuvo reuniones con la empresa para identificar el problema y proponer la solución óptima. Luego de realizar un análisis de la empresa, se determinó que el problema a solucionar es el bajo porcentaje de utilización de aulas en las aulas, principalmente en la sede de San Miguel. En el transcurso de la consultoría y con el compromiso de los representantes de TLS, se propuso establecer un centro de innovación en la sede. Esto implica habilitar espacios de co-working. El presupuesto para implementar esta propuesta suma S/608,600 y dará como resultado un valor presente neto de S/495,538. Se espera desarrollar este plan en el mes de septiembre del 2019 y tener los espacios habilitados para enero del 2020. El resultado de esta propuesta, traerá un crecimiento sostenido en el margen operativo de la sede San Miguel. ii Table of Contents List of Tables .......................................................................................................................... vii List of Figures .......................................................................................................................... ix Chapter I: General Situation of the Organization ................................................................ 1 1.1.

  • Agricultural and Mining Labor Interactions in Peru: a Long-Run Perspective
    Agricultural and Mining Labor Interactions in Peru: ALong-RunPerspective(1571-1812) Apsara Iyer1 April 4, 2016 1Submitted for consideration of B.A. Economics and Mathematics, Yale College Class of 2016. Advisor: Christopher Udry Abstract This essay evaluates the context and persistence of extractive colonial policies in Peru on contemporary development indicators and political attitudes. Using the 1571 Toledan Reforms—which implemented a system of draft labor and reg- ularized tribute collection—as a point of departure, I build a unique dataset of annual tribute records for 160 districts in the Cuzco, Huamanga, Huancavelica, and Castrovirreyna regions of Peru over the years of 1571 to 1812. Pairing this source with detailed historic micro data on population, wages, and regional agri- cultural prices, I develop a historic model for the annual province-level output. The model’s key parameters determine the output elasticities of labor and capital and pre-tribute production. This approach allows for an conceptual understand- ing of the interaction between mita assignment and production factors over time. Ithenevaluatecontemporaryoutcomesofagriculturalproductionandpolitical participation in the same Peruvian provinces, based on whether or not a province was assigned to the mita. I find that assigning districts to the mita lowers the average amount of land cultivated, per capita earnings, and trust in municipal government Introduction For nearly 250 years, the Peruvian economy was governed by a rigid system of state tribute collection and forced labor. Though the interaction between historical ex- traction and economic development has been studied in a variety of post-colonial contexts, Peru’s case is unique due to the distinct administration of these tribute and labor laws.

  • La Teoría De La Dependencia En La Historia Económica Sobre La República
    216 LA TEORÍA DE LA DEPENDENCIA EN LA HISTORIA ECONÓMICA SOBRE LA REPÚBLICA Carlos Contreras Enero, 2003 DOCUMENTO DE TRABAJO 216 http://www.pucp.edu.pe/economia/pdf/DDD216.pdf LA TEORIA DE LA DEPENDENCIA EN LA HISTORIA ECONOMICA SOBRE LA REPUBLICA Carlos Contreras RESUMEN ¿Cuál era la imagen de la historia económica del Perú republicano un cuarto de siglo atrás? ¿En qué medida se ha transformado hoy y en virtud de qué trabajos o factores? Estas son las preguntas que me propongo afrontar en las páginas siguientes. Mi argumento es que en el período de los últimos veinticinco años, la historia económica peruana, pero especialmente la del período independiente, estuvo dominada por el esquema interpretativo dependentista. Este comenzó a ser cuestionado severamente, durante los últimos quince años, sobre todo desde la perspectiva liberal, pero sin que podamos decir que haya ocurrido ya un desplazamiento del esquema anterior por uno nuevo. Al final, planteo algunas razones de la durabilidad del enfoque dependentista para la explicación de la historia económica del Perú. ABSTRACT What was, twenty five years ago, the image about Peruvian economic history during its independent period? Which are the changes in it now and which the factors of that changes? My argue is that in the period of last twenty five years, the economic history of Peru, but especially its republican period, was dominated by the Dependency Theory frame. This insight suffered several attacks recently, especially since liberal perspective, but its main lines are stand up yet. In the last part of this article, I offer some reasons to explain the strong and durable of dependency approach to explain the economic history of Peru.

  • On Fragile Soils. Place-Making and Unsustainable Tourism in Northern Peru
    Building a ‘Paradise’ on Fragile Soils. Place-making and Unsustainable Tourism in Northern Peru. by FERNANDO GONZÁLEZ-VELARDE School of Modern Languages Newcastle University A thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of Newcastle University for the award of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Latin American Studies. August, 2013 - Abstract Building a ‘Paradise’ on Fragile Soils. Place-making and Unsustainable Tourism in Northern Peru. This thesis critically examines the current characteristics of the tourism industry in Peru. By taking the case of the coastal district of Mancora, Northern Peru, this study explores processes of place-making occurring in a context of neoliberal reform, whereby territories highly vulnerable to the ‘El Niño’ phenomenon are developed into tourist attractions. The approach of this thesis is interdisciplinary, using multi-sited ethnography and Critical Discourse Analysis as key instruments. The interpretative framework relies on anthropological theory about the nature and society interface; studies about socio-economic development, sustainable tourism and neoliberalism; debates concerning the socio-cultural elaboration of space, place, and identity in post- colonial societies; as well as literature on natural disasters. By portraying tourism as an efficient tool for economic growth, businessmen and national elites are seeking to transform the identity of Northern Peru into an ‘attractive’ tourist destination. Whilst this is expected to develop rural populations and the nation, the overwhelming enthusiasm triggered by tourism revenues has widely neglected the socio-cultural and environmental impacts this industry generates and, more importantly, the cyclical exposure of this region to the ‘El Niño’ phenomenon. Recent occurrences of this natural event provoked millions of dollars worth of damage, severely hitting the economic development of the country.

  • Environmental Stewardship and the Production of Subjectivities: Indigenous, Scientific, and Economic Rationalities in Ancash, Peru
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND THE PRODUCTION OF SUBJECTIVITIES: INDIGENOUS, SCIENTIFIC, AND ECONOMIC RATIONALITIES IN ANCASH, PERU By Rowenn Beth Kalman A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology—Doctor of Philosophy 2017 ABSTRACT ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND THE PRODUCTION OF SUBJECTIVITIES: INDIGENOUS, SCIENTIFIC, AND ECONOMIC RATIONALITIES IN ANCASH, PERU By Rowenn Beth Kalman In the region of Ancash, Peru, rural farmers, NGO staff, state workers, and mine engineers all argue that environmental conciencia (consciousness) is crucial for protecting natural resources from pollution and overuse. However, they draw on different rationales of indigeneity, science, and economics to define what constitutes effective conservation and who has authority over nature. NGOs train rural farmers to be “environmental promoters” who monitor pollution and embrace ancestral (indigenous Andean) views of nature as they coordinate among mine companies, state authorities, and their fellow villagers. This dissertation argues that promoter training reflects an attempt to create environmental subjects—those who view the stewardship of nature as necessary for resource preservation (Agrawal 2005)—but that differently situated subjects decide to protect nature for different reasons. Through community- based stewardship, promoters and other actors draw from the multiple discourses of conciencia (indigenous, scientific, and economic) to dispute both state-sanctioned and private sector authority, articulating competing ideas of environmental management. This argument departs from previous analyses of decentralization and environmental governance that suggest community stewardship initiatives lead marginal resource users into deeper compliance with a singular, state-sanctioned logic. Further, existing scholarship on environmental subjectivity does not consider how other dimensions of subjectivity are engaged and reconstructed through processes cultivating environmental subjects.

The Peruvian economy has always been an exporter of primary products and an importer of manufactured goods This paper has a two-fold aim: to identify the salient characteristics of the development models and policies affecting Peruvian agriculture since the mid-twentieth century, and to identify what effect they have had on agricultural production and productivity based on an estimation of total-factor productivity (TFP) for the 1950-2010 period.Development strategy models have ranged from the diversification of primary exports, to import-substitution industrialisation, and the promotion of non-traditional exports, which is the current model. These strategies have determined the outcome for agriculture.
