[pt] De acordo com o levantamento do IBGE, mais de um terço dos brasileiros vive aquém de suas necessidades básicas de consumo. As conseqüências dessa desigualdade vêm se tornando insuportáveis para todos, principalmente com o aumento recente dos índices de criminalidade nos principais centros urbanos. O atual Governo brasileiro tem enfatizado bastante o envolvimento do meio empresarial na busca de alternativas para amenizar a situação de desigualdade e pobreza do país, além de uma atuação mais responsável e transparente perante a sociedade. Desta forma, o atributo de responsabilidade social tende a se tornar ainda mais valorizado pela sociedade e pelo público consumidor. O presente estudo suporta a idéia de que existe um segmento de mercado que considera o nível de responsabilidade social das empresas em suas decisões de compra. Os resultados empíricos mostram evidências de que alguns consumidores estão dispostos a pagar um pouco mais e até abrir mão de alguns atributos do produto para contribuir com um programa social. As empresas possuem, portanto, uma oportunidade de focar nesse público, atingindo seus objetivos, ao mesmo tempo em que contribuem para a sociedade. / [en] According to IBGE data, more than one third of Brazilians lives beyond basic consumption needs.

So companies have the opportunity of focusing on this segment, reaching their objectives, while contributing to the society.

La industria de los videojuegos competitivos ha tenido una mayor relevancia en el mundo del entretenimiento donde cada vez son más las personas que utilizan las redes sociales para crear comunidades y tener un mayor contacto con marcas de productos dedicados a los eSports. Sin embargo, la influencia que generan las acciones de Social Media Marketing, el boca a boca electrónico y el valor de marca en la decisión de compra de estos productos no ha sido analizada completamente. Por lo cual este estudio, mediante encuestas virtuales, recopiló datos de 250 jóvenes peruanos que sirvieron para determinar que existe una influencia mínima y poco significativa de dichas variables en la decisión de compra. Ello debido a que las personas no percibirían a las opiniones de otros compradores como información relevante y decisiva para una posible compra además de no tener apego hacia las marcas de este tipo de productos. / The competitive video game industry has had a greater relevance in the world of entertainment where more and more people are using social networks to create communities and have greater contact with product brands dedicated to eSports.
