Ítem Acceso Abierto The Influence of Personality Domains and Working Experience in Peruvian Managers’ Leadership Styles: An Initial Study(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) D'Alessio, FernandoThe purpose of this quantitative investigation is to examine the relationships that may exist among the five personality domains, working experience, and the three leadership styles in a sample of 500 managerial Master of Business Administration (MBA) students of a leading business school in Peru. Similar studies have previously been performed in developed countries; well-known examples come from the United States of America, Norway, Germany, Australia, Canada, and Singapore, but no such studies are found in a developing country. The Neuroticism Extraversion Openness to Experience Personality Inventory Revised (NEO-PI-R) and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) were the instruments used for personality and leadership, respectively. In this sample, conscientiousness demonstrates the strongest and most consistent correlation with transformational (.426 ), transactional (.43 0), and passive-avoidant (-.354 ) leadership styles. Extraversion has the next highest correlation with transformational (.400) leadership styles and a weak correlation with transactional (.152) and passive-avoidant (-.166) leadership styles. Agreeableness has no significant correlation with any of the leadership styles, and openness to experience shows a significant correlation only to transformational (.201) leadership styles. Neuroticism shows weak correlations with transformational (-.214 ) and passive-avoidant (.26 7) leadership styles. Conscientiousness and extraversion may encourage individuals to emerge as leaders. Transformational and transactional leadership behaviors are demonstrated more frequently with increasing working experience.Ítem Acceso Abierto Remittances and Income Distribution in Peru(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Torres-Zorrilla, JorgeObjectives of research were to study the magnitude, dynamics, and impacts associated with remittances to Peru. The remittances grew exponentially in the last decade. The study examines the emigration of Peruvians, compares remittances received by families in Peru with those in countries in Latin America, and presents the income from remittances for families classified by socioeconomic strata. Conclusions are: Peru and Guatemala demonstrate greater growth in remittances during 2000-2005, and Peru shows a high concentration of remittances in the higher quintiles of the socioeconomic strata. This result is unexpected and different from that found in other countries such as Mexico.Ítem Acceso Abierto The Impact of Trade Barriers on Exports: The Case of Peru, 1992-2002(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Tello, Mario D.This paper proposes a straightforward methodology to assess and estimate the impact of trade barriers on exports from the Peruvian economy. The results of the application of this methodology indicate that most favored nation (MFN) and/or generalized system of preferences (GSP) tariff rates imposed by developed countries on Peruvian exports are relatively low and, conversely, the number of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) and the average number of NTBs per export tariff line are relatively high. This difference produces a higher estimation of the export impact of the NTBs. An implication of these results is that the new wave of regional preferential trade agreements among developed and developing countries (which face a similar trade barrier structure to the Peruvian one) may not have meaningful effects on trade flows unless it is accompanied by substantial reductions in the number of NTBs per export tariff line.Ítem Acceso Abierto Competitiveness and Entrepreneurship in Latin America(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Hnyilicza, EstebanThis paper reviews the empirical evidence on the critical factors impinging on the success or failure of enterprise development policies in Latin America. Guidelines are proposed to integrate novel initiatives into a coherent strategy for entrepreneurship development. The proposed approach encompasses four building-blocks: incubators, entrepreneur development, business development services, and incentive mechanisms to promote cooperative behavior. The notion that entrepreneurial development is one of the key links in the transmission mechanisms between the conception stage and the implementation phase of competitiveness policies is stressed.Ítem Acceso Abierto Marketing Information Systems and Strategy Levels: An Empirical Study(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Goñi, Niria M.This research study develops a model that integrates marketing information systems and strategy levels and examines the application of these systems at each strategy level. To attain the first objective, the roles that the CEO or managers perform at each strategy level and the specific information systems required for each case constituted the starting point of the study. To reach the second objective, the qualitative method was applied, and the technique utilized was in-depth interviews. A sample of 30 medium- and big-size companies was utilized. This study showed, among other results, that companies do use the four marketing information systems, although with a different emphasis, depending on the strategy level.Ítem Acceso Abierto Influence of Ethics and Integrity in Peruvian Managers’ Leadership Styles: A Doctoral Research Proposal(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Cielo, JuanScientific interest in the leadership process has increasingly paid attention to the issues of ethics and integrity. Communities served by leaders are demanding a more ethical and inclusive leadership style. The purpose of this research proposal is to examine the relationship between ethics orientations and integrity types, as independent variables, and Peruvian managers’ leadership styles, as the dependent variable. The research method involves a literature review of leadership theories, leadership styles, ethical orientations, and integrity types. The research model includes transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles; deontological and teleological ethical orientations; and intelligence and moral integrity types. The study will use a quantitative approach with hypotheses related to the relationships between variables. The empirical examination will be applied to Peruvian managers. The psychometric instruments will be the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5x - MLQ 5x (Bass & Avolio, 2004), Ethics Perspective Case Survey (Ampofo, 2004), Perceived Leader Integrity Scale - PLIS (Craig & Gustafson, 1998 ), and Aronson’s Integrity Questionnaire (Aronson, 2003). Demographic information collected will be age, gender, educational level, and the number of years with the present company. Data analyses will include the use of statistical techniques such as the distribution of frequencies and descriptive statistics such as the median, mode, standard deviation, variance, Cronbach alpha, correlation, factorial analysis, scale of confidence, and multiple regressions. The software, namely, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v.15 ), and AMOS v.6 will be used. The research will test the relationships between deontological and teleological ethical orientations, intellectual and moral integrity types, and leadership styles.Ítem Acceso Abierto The Impact of Diversity in the Perception of Performance: A Case Study in Lima and Barcelona(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Feldman, Percy Marquina; Morales, Carlos E.An exploratory and comparative study was developed in both Peru and in Spain with the intention of measuring the impact diversity has in the perception of performance. The variables used were tenure, gender, age, and diversity awareness. The study shows a relationship between the real degree of diversity within the company and the awareness of diversity. It seems that the greater the diversity, the greater the awareness of diversity. Moreover the research provides statistical evidence that the awareness of diversity can be better associated with the perception of performance in companies with high levels of diversity. However the chosen diverse variables, gender, age and tenure do not have a greater relationship with this perception of group performance. The research also suggests that the perception of the degree of diversity acts as a moderator in the performance of the group.Ítem Acceso Abierto The Work Adjustment Process of Expatriate Managers: An Exploratory Study in Latin America(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Rivera, RamonThe issue of work adjustment of expatriate managers is examined in this paper. The results confirm the existence of dimensions and factors widely discussed in international human resources management literature but also emphasize others related to the characteristics of the expatriation’s environment. The paper also includes a discussion of the key role of personal relationships in achieving a successful adjustment in Latin American subsidiaries.Ítem Acceso Abierto Retirement Forced Saving in Peru using Hyperbolic Discounting Functions: A Doctoral Research Proposal(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Sanchez-Chavez, Dr Elio J.Empirical and survey data related to voluntary pensions in the United States indicated that households have not been saving enough to cover later consumption requirements. This evidence has been analyzed using a conceptual framework named the hyperbolic consumption model that integrates a classical utility theory with behavioral concepts in order to explain some anomalies in consumption-saving decisions.
