[pt] Muitas pessoas têm buscado na internet uma forma de ganhar dinheiro. Dentre aqueles que tentam, há quem consiga ganhar a vida comercializando serviços e produtos digitais e construindo carreiras dedicadas a tal iniciativa: são os chamados empreendedores digitais. As trajetórias profissionais desses empreendedores ainda são pouco compreendidas, o que motivou a realização da presente dissertação que buscou entender a construção da carreira de empreendedor digital. Para tanto, a teoria do Life Design foi utilizada como principal lente conceitual para desvelar essas carreiras. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto foram entrevistados 13 empreendedores digitais. Os resultados obtidos indicam que aqueles que se autodenominam empreendedores digitais dedicam-se, sobretudo, ao marketing digital e constroem suas carreiras ratificando a retórica de que o empreendedorismo digital é um caminho viável para o enriquecimento, para conquistar flexibilidade de tempo, espaço e área de atuação, desde que se trabalhe com consistência, aprendendo constantemente e fazendo networking. Dentre as principais motivações para empreender online estão: insatisfação com trabalhos anteriores; ambição de ganhar mais dinheiro; desejo de empreender com baixos investimento e risco e; monetização de um hobby. Já os principais desafios são: falta de apoio da família e de amigos; preocupações com a saúde mental e física; dificuldades com o uso da tecnologia; medo de acreditar em promessas vazias e preocupações com ataques de ódio. No que diz respeito aos aspectos objetivos da construção da carreira, quatro momentos apareceram como importantes: pesquisar no google maneiras de ganhar dinheiro na internet; consumir conteúdo sobre marketing digital; realizar a
primeira venda online e; participar em congressos ou eventos do setor. Constatou-se que, ao superarem as dificuldades e obterem conquistas, os empreendedores digitais legitimam suas escolhas de carreira. / [en] Many people have searched the internet for a way to make money. Among those who try, there are those who manage to make a living selling digital services and products and building careers dedicated to such an initiative: they are called digital entrepreneurs. The professional trajectories of these entrepreneurs are still poorly understood, which motivated the completion of this dissertation, which sought to understand the construction of a digital entrepreneur career. Therefore, Life Design theory was used as the main conceptual lens to unveil these careers. To achieve the proposed objective, 13 digital entrepreneurs were interviewed. The results obtained indicate that those who call themselves digital entrepreneurs are dedicated, above all, to digital marketing and build their careers confirming the rhetoric that digital entrepreneurship is a viable path to enrichment, to achieve flexibility in time, space and area of performance, as long as one works consistently, constantly learning and networking. Among the main motivations to be a digital entrepreneur are dissatisfaction with previous work; ambition to earn more money; desire to undertake with low investment and risk and monetizing a hobby. The main challenges are lack of support from family and friends; mental and physical health concerns; difficulties with the use of technology; fear of believing empty promises and concerns about hate attacks on the internet. With regard to the objective aspects of career building, four moments appeared as important: searching google for ways to earn money on the internet; consume content about digital marketing; make the first online sale and participate in congresses or events in the sector. It was found that, by overcoming difficulties and achieving goals, digital entrepreneurs

Desarrollo de una tienda online de merchandise fan made de artistas musicales “Golden Store”Alayo Amorós, Christian Oswaldo, Ayala Espinoza, Astrid Fiorella, Callata Paasaca, Xiomara Vanessa, López Cisneros, Grecia Andrea Paola, Santamaria Criollo, Wendy Loana 06 July 2021 (has links)
El presente trabajo se ha elaborado con el fin de conocer y evaluar la viabilidad y escalabilidad del modelo de negocio denominado “Golden Store”. Este es un emprendimiento virtual que se dedica al diseño, a la compra y venta de artículos. Golden Store está dirigido a los fanáticos de One Direction y BTS, quienes son los principales consumidores de la marca. En otras palabras, Golden se encarga de ofrecer artículos y prendas que tienen un diseño llamativo para sus clientes, logrando así que ellos puedan identificarse con su artista favorito, y expresar sus gustos musicales, mediante el uso del producto.
Este proyecto surgió por dos motivos fundamentales. Por un lado, Golden nació a raíz de una problemática identificada por tres miembros del equipo, quienes se identifican como fans de los grupos musicales de dichas agrupaciones musicales. Ellos coincidieron en que los artículos originales de mercancía son caros para los clientes y además demoran meses en llegar al país. Asimismo, reconocieron que en las plataformas virtuales de merchandising no encontraban la diversidad de diseños que ellos querían, siendo estos repetitivos y sin originalidad. Para comprobar ello, se realizó entrevistas a distintos fans de One Direction y BTS, conociendo así los motivos de su insatisfacción con la compra de los artículos de merch.
Por consiguiente, Golden surge como un emprendimiento "De fans para fans" con el que se busca incrementar el reconocimiento y la preferencia de la marca al abordar sus necesidades insatisfechas ofreciendo una experiencia de compra amena y confiable. / This work has been prepared to know and evaluate the viability and scalability of the business model called "Golden Store". This is a virtual venture that is dedicated to the design, purchase, and sale of items. Golden Store is aimed at fans of One Direction and BTS, who are the main consumers of the brand. In other words, Golden is responsible for offering articles and garments that have an eye-catching design for its customers, thus making them able to identify with their favorite artist, and express their musical tastes, by the product.
This project arose for two fundamental reasons. On the one hand, Golden was born because of a problem identified by three members of the team, who identify themselves as fans of the musical groups of said musical groups. They agreed that original merchandise items are expensive for customers and take months to arrive in the country. Likewise, they recognized that in the virtual merchandising platforms they did not find the diversity of designs that they wanted, being these repetitive and without originality. To verify this, interviews were conducted with different fans of One Direction and BTS, thus knowing the reasons for their dissatisfaction with the purchase of the merch items.
Consequently, Golden emerges as a "From fans to fans" venture that seeks to increase the recognition and preference of the brand by addressing their unmet needs by offering an enjoyable and reliable shopping experience. / Trabajo de investigación

El proyecto bajo el nombre de Intiplaza muestra su viabilidad mediante el desarrollo de una plataforma web que se encarga de conectar emprendimientos peruanos del rubro textil y accesorios de moda con clientes de ambos sexos pertenecientes a los NSE B y C. Por un lado, a causa de la pandemia COVID-19 muchos jóvenes decidieron emprender para generar sus propios ingresos y sobrellevar la crisis económica que está atravesando el país. Por otro lado, se identificó que por motivo de la coyuntura actual y el trabajo remoto muchas personas optan por realizar sus compras mediante páginas web, ya que esta es rápida, segura, sencilla y eficaz.

Proyecto Como en casaArbieto Chinchay, Carlos Fidel, Cotrina Vargas, Kelly Kristel Nahomi, Juipa Sebastian, Sthefanie Soledad, Segura Esteban, Olenka Janet, Valle Sihuay, Jose Luis Pedro 04 July 2021 (has links)
El presente proyecto consiste en el desarrollo de un emprendimiento digital que ofrece comida casera y permite que amas de casa, con gran talento para cocinar, puedan conectarse con un grupo importante de clientes. Asimismo, se muestra la viabilidad de su implementación en base a la investigación que realizamos en los distritos de Lima Moderna. Esto nos permitió detectar que los jóvenes desean una alternativa distinta a la que ofrecen los aplicativos de delivery, en su mayoría comida procesada y de esta forma poder obtener una comida casera y balanceada. Además, se identificó un segmento de amas de casa que tienen el deseo de incrementar sus ingresos, que han sido afectadas en el aspecto económico por la pandemia y que además tienen grandes habilidades culinarias que pueden aprovechar.
Para la implementación del proyecto previamente se realizó un análisis del mercado potencial y se elaboraron experimentos para validar las partes del modelo de negocio: canales, segmentos de clientes, relación con los clientes, actividades clave, compañeros claves, estructura de costos y las fuentes de ingreso. Por otro lado, se elaboró un Plan de marketing, Plan de fidelización y un Plan Financiero. Los cuales tienen como finalidad reafirmar la viabilidad del proyecto.
Como resultado, luego de una inversión inicial de 15 475 soles en el primer año de operaciones se obtendrá una utilidad neta de 5 600 soles, 65.000 soles para el segundo año y 144 000 soles para el tercer año. / This project consists of the development of a digital entrepreneurship that offers homemade food and allows housewives, with great cooking talent, to connect with an important group of clients. Likewise, the feasibility of its implementation is shown based on the research we carried out in the districts of Modern Lima. This allowed us to detect that young people want a different alternative to the one offered by delivery applications, mostly processed food, and in this way to be able to obtain a homemade and balanced meal. In addition, a segment of housewives was identified who have the desire to increase their income, who have been affected economically by the pandemic, and who also have great culinary skills that they can take advantage of.
For the implementation of the project, an analysis of the potential market was previously carried out and experiments were developed to validate the parts of the business model: channels, customer segments, relationship with customers, key activities, key partners, cost structure, and sources of entry. On the other hand, a Marketing Plan, a Loyalty Plan, and a Financial Plan were drawn up. Which are intended to reaffirm the viability of the project.
As a result, after an initial investment of 11,993 soles in the first year of operations, a net profit of 5,600 soles will be obtained, 65,000 soles for the second year, and 144,000 soles for the third year. / Trabajo de investigación

Plataforma web de búsqueda de prácticas preprofesionalesCardenas Gallo, Arthur Alfredo, Cavero Ramírez, César Iván, Cuadros Quinto, Victor Alejandro, Morales Chavez, Carlos Josue, Paz León, Daniel Alejandro 08 July 2021 (has links)
Es de suma necesidad, en el ámbito universitario, el desarrollo de las prácticas pre profesionales porque permite al joven estudiante desarrollar sus conocimientos y habilidades en un ámbito netamente laboral y empresarial los diferentes conocimientos adquiridos en sus años de formación tanto en Universidades como Institutos Técnicos. No obstante, durante los últimos años muchas empresas han elevado las exigencias para contratar un practicante tales como tener experiencia previa, disponibilidad mayor a las horas requeridas para un practicante, etc. Debido a esto, muchos estudiantes tienen dificultades en conseguir prácticas laborales por la falta de experiencia y conflictividad con sus horarios universitarios.
El desempleo profesional y el subempleo son problemas que aquejan a miles de jóvenes peruanos y su incidencia generalmente se atribuye a un desajuste entre la demanda y la oferta de trabajo. Además, de los pocos recursos de información que cuentan los jóvenes a la hora de encontrar practicas tales como sitios web de ofertas laborales, convocatorias de puesto de trabajo que hacen las empresas o simplemente que su propia casa de estudio no lo ofrezca herramientas para encontrar trabajo como una “bolsa de trabajo”
Finalmente, por lo ya mencionado nuestro siguiente proyecto de negocio va dirigido a los estudiantes universitarios y de Institutos técnicos que tienen problemas de conseguir prácticas laborales y ofrecerle una solución mediante una plataforma dirigido especialmente a este grupo de jóvenes en donde encontraran diferentes herramientas que le ayudaran a encontrar sus primeras prácticas de una forma rápida y sencilla. / The development of pre-professional internships is of utmost necessity in the university environment because it allows young students to develop their knowledge and skills in a purely work and business environment, the different knowledge acquired in their formative years in both Universities and Technical Institutes. However, during the last years many companies have raised the requirements to hire an intern such as having previous experience, availability more than the hours required for an intern, etc. Because of this, many students have difficulties in obtaining internships due to lack of experience and conflicts with their university schedules.
Professional unemployment and underemployment are problems that afflict thousands of young Peruvians and their incidence is generally attributed to a mismatch between labor demand and supply. In addition, the lack of information resources that young people have when it comes to finding internships such as job offer websites, job announcements made by companies or simply that their own house of study does not offer them tools to find work such as a "job bank".
Finally, as mentioned above, our next business project is aimed at university and technical institute students who have problems finding internships and offer them a solution through a platform aimed especially at this group of young people where they will find different tools that will help them find their first internships quickly and easily. / Trabajo de investigación

African American Women Bloggers’ Lived Experiences with Digital Entrepreneurship: A Transcendental Phenomenological StudyMcDowell, Melissa 01 January 2020 (has links)
The professionalization of blogs has elevated blogging to an organizational field whereby bloggers develop a legitimate career path. For many minority women bloggers, the transition from being traditionally employed to managing a one-person digital enterprise is often met with racial and gender imbalances created by nontraditional modes of work. The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was to gain a deeper understanding of how African American women bloggers described their lived experiences with managing a one-person digital enterprise and the implications of their racial and gender identity within this nontraditional mode of work. To address this gap, a transcendental phenomenological method was used to collect data from African American women bloggers. This study was framed by 3 key concepts focused on African American women bloggers: Brydges and Sj00F6holm’s concept of personal style blogger, Martinez Dy et al’s concept of women digital entrepreneurs, and Gabriel’s concept of Black female identity online. Data were gathered using 9 virtual semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the modified Van Kaam method. Eight themes emerged when answering the research question. The findings of the research showed that being an African American woman blogger means conducting entrepreneurial activity, working towards financial solvency, being proud of racial identity, and creating and delivering content as a blogger. Results gleaned from this transcendental phenomenological study may help promote social change by bringing awareness to policymakers on the issues of equity, access, and opportunity for marginalized populations who seek to become digital entrepreneurs.
