Digital transformation has become fundamental to improving the competitiveness of microenterprises worldwide, and Huancayo, Peru is no exception. By adopting digital technologies, microenterprises can improve their operational efficiency, expand their market reach and enhance their abilities to make informed decisions. They have therefore found innovative ways to adapt to changing market conditions, such as incorporating information technologies, online sales, use of social networks and home delivery. Despite this, many microenterprises struggle to survive due to lack of access to financing and adequate government support. This study aimed to analyze how individual, group and organizational factors influence the digital transformation of microenterprises and its impact on their competitiveness. The research was carried out in a sample of 80 multi-sector microenterprises, using a non-probabilistic and cross-sectional research design of a quali-quantitative and explanatory nature, using SEM-PLS. The results of the study indicate a positive relationship between individual, group and organizational factors and digital transformation, as well as with the competitiveness of microenterprises. The coefficients of determination (R2) obtained were 0.8897 and 0.7931 for digital transformation and competitiveness, respectively, indicating a predictive ability in both cases. These findings are of great use to policy makers, business owners and researchers interested in fostering the growth and development of microenterprises in emerging economies.

Education is the future. Education is the only way for a country to start developing and reducing poverty. In countries with medium incomes like Peru, the resources to spend on education is not unlimited. Therefore, it is necessary to have quality in investment. However, risks and uncertainty can make a project surpass its initial budget. Therefore, statistic based methods like Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool to forecast possible events that might endanger the profitability and sustainability of a project. Although there is not plenty of academic literature about Monte Carlo empirical usage, many projects employ this method to manage the possible risks the project could have. In consequence, the current research analyzed both risk and sensitivity of an elementary school building project. Both analyses showed that this project had huge probabilities to surpass the current profit and return estimations. However, the sensitivity analysis portrayed that the project could be endangered because of infrastructure overspending. Moreover, it indicated that students’ attendance is also a critical factor to ensure the sustainability of the project.

This research analyses the relationship and relative importance of financial factors on the Peruvian mining copper companies´ share prices from 2010 to 2018. Voting common share prices were focused and book value, dividend per share, dividend yield, price earnings, earnings per share and roe were employed as regressors. Fixed-effects regression was used, and tests of stationarity, distribution, and specification harnessed. It was found that earnings per share and dividend yield had a positive and significant relationship with share prices, while book value had a negative one.

Peru is a country with a complex geography. Moreover, it lacks minimal safe roads, higher in Andean and jungle territories. Depending on the classification they might receive, the num-ber of kilometers without pavement can reach up to 80%. Such a rate is alarming, consider-ing that internationally the United Nations promotes actions for road security since road ac-cidents are among the most common causes of death causes in the world. Then, employing data from Sutran, the current research has analyzed how the severity of accidents can affect road administration in Peru roads in 2021. Hence, the multinomial logistic regression was employed due to the nature of the data. It was found that regional routes had a higher risk than national roads when estimating the probability of having many dead and injured people because of a road accident.

Digital governance, institutional development and public higher education in Huancayo-Perú in the new situation where remote activities are prioritized, the use of information technologies has increased in the different activities of organizations, allowing them to provide adequate services in an efficient way. The research seeks to establish the relationship between digital governance and institutional development in public higher education in Huancayo - Perú. Basic research with a quantitative approach and correlational level with a sample of 828 people made up of teaching staff, administrative staff and students who interact with the administrative activities of the UNCP. The data analysis and modeling was performed through structural equations based on PLS. As a result of the research, a value of 0.815 was obtained in Spearman's Rho and a significance level of .000, which indicates a high positive relationship, also the general hypothesis that establishes that there is a significant relationship between digital governance and institutional development is accepted.

The Central Road is the most connected road between the capital and cities of the jungle and the highlands in Peru. Nowadays, this road suffers from intense traffic jams that excessively delay time travel. Moreover, it is vulnerable to closures due to natural and human factors. Also, there is a proliferation of reckless drivers who do not care about speeding and cause terrible accidents. Hence, the current research explores whether the speeding record affected the occurrence of accidents on this road. After applying the Logit regression, it was possible to find that only recording speeding beyond 30 kilometers per hour over the limit was relevant to prevent accidents. It was also suggested that the speedometer should track 24 hours a day along with measures to improve the infrastructure of this road.

Road accidents are an essential issue for every country in the world because their consequences are devastating for the people involved in all senses. Speeding has been considered one of the main reasons for these tragedies. Therefore, the current research analyzed the relationship between speeding and severe accidents on the Pan-American highway in Peru. Publicly available data kept in a Peruvian official agency was employed. Methodologically, the logit regression was harnessed since the data were categorical. After the analysis, the research found that it was riskier to have severe accidents than speeding in urban areas crossing the highway and driving or being inside a truck.

More than half of Peruvian exportations are made by mining companies, which also are a traditional employment source that attracts thousands of Peruvian workers because of their high economic benefits. This paper aims to find whether there is a relationship between personnel expenses change and productivity change in Peruvian stock mining companies from 2011 to 2018. Malmquist index and multiple regression were used to analyze data of 17 Peruvian mining companies both metallic and nonmetallic ones. It was found that there was a negative relationship between personnel expenses change and productivity change in metallic mining companies while there was a positive one for nonmetallic companies.

Electronic commerce is a way of sale that has come to stay. It helps companies to overcome physical barriers, and in theory, it increases their sales. However, does electronic commerce have any impact on the firms' revenue? This research sought the answer by employing OLS and quantile regressions in a sample of 2164 Peruvian retail firms. The dataset was obtained through the INEI economic survey of 2019, which was the last one. For methodological purposes, electronic commerce was compared against the other sales channels employed by the studied firms. It was found that electronic commerce positively impacted the income in firms with more enormous revenues but was still low compared with traditional commerce forms.

Digitalization is a reality for everyone, including the government. As a consequence, more governments around the globe started to digitize their services, looking for more user satisfaction. In the case of Peru, the civil registration service, called RENIEC, found its particular way to implement digital solutions for their services. Therefore, did those efforts have any effect on the users’ satisfaction? The current analysis using ordinary least squares and Shapley’s value evaluated the impact of digitalization on user satisfaction. After the necessary research, we found that the birth and divorce digital process positively affected user satisfaction, while divorce did not.
