This is a relevant public policy issue for economic, social and ethical reasons that requires multiple solutions. In this sense, this study analyses the factors affecting Peruvian women’s participation in ST and proposes strategic guidelines to increase it. The originality of this article lies in studying this phenomenon, considering different stages of the career choice (access to education, career persistence and career progress) in a context that has not been previously studied, characterized by the highest female labour participation rate in Latin America. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with female students in high schools and universities, university professors in ST departments, professionals in ST careers, qualified researchers in ST institutions and ST experts. The information was encoded, categorized and analys...

The study has identified the variables that allow discerning between women microentrepreneurs with good and bad payment history. The study proposes using certain variables in the credit analysis process of women microentrepreneurs at microfinance institutions.

Cook, and Joe Zhu Foreword This special issue of the Journal of CENTRUM Cathedra (JCC) on data envelopment analysis and its applications to management coincides with the achievement of Triple Crown accreditation by CENTRUM Católica. The Triple Crown denotes business schools that have received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), and the Association of MBAs (AMBA). In one decade, under the vision and direction of its Director General, Dr. Fernando D´Alessio, CENTRUM Católica has become the only business school in Peru and the seventh in Latin America to attain the Triple Crown. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of the optimization methods of mathematical programming that measures the technical efficiency of a decision-making unit (DMU) in a multiple-input/multiple-output setting, relative to that of peer DMUs. In its simplest form, the...
