Este estudio busca identificar los factores que influyen en el consumo de productos de cuidado personal dentro del segmento masculino latinoamericano. Para ello, se aplicó un instrumento basado en la teoría del comportamiento planificado a 600 hombres pertenecientes a dos países de la región con diferentes niveles de desarrollo de la categoría en cuestión: México (alto desarrollo) y Perú (moderado desarrollo). Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados a partir de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados sugieren que, en ambos países estudiados, la norma subjetiva inhibiría el consumo de este tipo de productos entre los hombres. Asimismo, el impacto de la norma subjetiva sería menor en hombres jóvenes, teniendo ellos mayor apertura al consumo de estos productos.
La población homosexual representa un importante mercado de consumo para diferentes categorías, destacando entre ellas el entretenimiento. Investigaciones académicas y comerciales han abordado este mercado principalmente enfocándose en países desarrollados, y considerándolo como un segmento único y homogéneo. La presente investigación propone sentar las bases para una segmentación de la población homosexual en Lima, capital de Perú, orientada a comprender las motivaciones de consumo de cada segmento identificado en el marco de la categoría entretenimiento. A través de los resultados obtenidos se identificaron tres segmentos en la población estudiada con características demográficas, psicográficas y preferencias distintas en cuanto a actividades de entretenimiento, de lo cual se desprenden diferentes necesidades y oportunidades para satisfacerlas.

Raising awareness about the environmental risks faced by the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, providing tools for thinking that will contribute to addressing the Sanctuary’s problems, and finally, contributing to the debate by forwarding a proposal for the Sanctuary’s sustainable management are the purposes of this study. In the first section, statistics show Peru is basically a unipolar travel destination. The second section presents the complex problems identified at the Sanctuary. To conclude, the study presents a proposed solution, including setting up a structure to manage the Sanctuary’s strategic planning while abiding by the key principles of sustainable development.
Over the past decade, the consumption 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 the impact of non-economic factors that influence on the consumption decision of personal care products and services for the male segment. To do this, the authors have used the Theory of Planned Behavior of Ajzen in a survey applied to 18-60 years old men. The results show that male consumers´ perception of his environment (subjective norm) was limiting 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. Findings seek to contribute to developing of marketing strategies that reduce the impact of the subjective norm in the consumption decision of this kind of products and services.
