Para tal efecto se examinó la situación actual de la empresa, su importancia dentro el sector retail peruano y su participación en el subsector supermercados, además se compararon indicadores de sus principales competidores y se proyectaron resultados financieros basados en sus objetivos y metas planteadas, sin dejar de considerar la influencia sistemática del propio sector y el desempeño económico del Perú. La valorización de la empresa se realizó bajo la metodología del Flujo de Caja Libre Descontado para los siguientes 10 años (periodo entre los 2016 al 2025), según lo que se obtuvo un valor empresa de S/645.9 millones, al cual se restó la deuda financiera y se obtuvo un valor patrimonial negativo del orden de los S/17.1 millones, consecuencia de la fuerte inversión en bienes de capital para la apertura de nuevas tiendas, las cuales no generan los flujos suficientes debido al bajo nivel de ingresos por metro cuadrado de espacio disponible para venta. Adicionalmente se calculó el valor actual neto patrimonial según estructura de pagos propuesta estimado en S/331.7 millones. Las iniciativas de reestructuración planteadas para que la empresa incremente su valor fueron las siguientes: (a) reducir la inversión propia en infraestructura de tiendas, (b) implementar medidas relacionadas al incremento de la productividad y mejora de eficiencia operativa, y (c) mejorar la negociación de precios con los proveedores para reducir el costo de ventas; asimismo definir una nueva política de reparto de dividendos. Con estas propuestas se estimó un valor patrimonial para Supermercados Peruanos S.A. de S/4,322.5 millones / This financial plan analyzes in a qualitative and quantitative manner the context on which Supermercados Peruanos S.A. carries out its commercial activities in order to evaluate its financial management performance and provide restructuring proposals that may add value to it. Therefore, the current situation of the company, its importance in the Peruvian retail area and its participation in the supermarket subarea were evaluated, indexes from their main competitors were compared, financial results based on objectives and planned goals were projected considering the systematic influence of the area as well as the economic development of Peru. The company was valued for the next ten years (2016 to 2015 period) using the discounted cash flow methodology; a company value of S/645.9 million was obtained. Then, the financial debt was taken from the aforementioned amount and a negative equity of S/17.1 million was attained as consequence of the strong investment in capital assets to open new stores which do not generate sufficient flow due to the low income per square meter available for sale. The net value of the shareholders was also calculated at S/331.7 million. The proposals for restructuration provided for the company to increase its value are as follows: (a) reduce the company’s investment on store infrastructure, (b) implement measurements to increase productivity and improve operational efficiency and (c) improve price negotiation with suppliers to reduce sale expenses. Using these measurements, an equity value of S/4,322.5 million for Supermercados Peruanos S.A. was estimated

En el presente documento se elabora el Planeamiento Estratégico de la empresa Topitop. Esta empresa es una de las principales compañías del sector textil peruano que ocupa uno de primeros lugares del ranking exportador. Topitop cubre casi toda la cadena de producción textil, desde la fabricación del hilado pasando por sus diferentes etapas de producción hasta la venta retail de prendas de vestir. Luego de casi tres décadas de aprendizaje competitivo y mejora continua, Topitop es una empresa con gran experiencia de innovación en confecciones, que se refleja en una marcada preferencia del consumidor final del Perú y del exterior, prueba de ello son sus numerosos locales en el mercado local e internacional así como la preferencia por sus prendas por parte de marcas internacionales tales como Hugo Boss, Massimo Dutti, etc. Topitop cuenta con dos unidades de negocios claramente diferencias, la unidad de manufactura y la unidad de retail. Una de las grandes ventajas competitivas que tiene Topitop en el mercado peruano nace precisamente de esa alta integración vertical. Esto le permite reducir tiempos de producción y de respuesta a los clientes y consumidores de sus productos. Los grandes desafíos de Topitop son continuar siendo una empresa manufacturera competitiva a nivel internacional y ser capaz de competir con la competencia que proviene de Asia y otros países emergentes; y convertirse uno de los grandes retailers de prendas de vestir en el continente sudamericano / In this document we have developed the Strategic Plan for the company Topitop. This company is one of the leading companies in the Peruvian textile industry and it occupies one of the first places in the ranking of the Peruvian textile exporters. Topitop covers almost the entire textile production chain, from elaboration of the thread passing through the manufacturing of the fabrics and the garments to the final stage of selling them to final customer. After nearly three decades of competitive learning and continuous improvement, Topitop is a company with great experience in apparel innovation, reflected in a strong preference by the final consumer of Peru and abroad, proof of this is the number of stores locally and internationally and the preference for its products by brands such as Hugo Boss, Massimo Dutti, etc. Topitop has two business units clearly differences, the manufacturing unit and the retail unit. One of the major competitive advantages that Topitop possess in the Peruvian market arises precisely from its high vertical integration. This allows it to reduce lead times and responsiveness to customers and consumers of their products. In the future Topitop faces some big challenges. The first one is to remain competitive, both nationally and internationally in the manufacturing and retail textile industry. Right now Topitop is facing the growing competition of Asian and other developing countries textile companies. The second challenge is to leverage the brand recognition and market strength that Topitop retail has in Peru to other South American countries and consequently become one of the mayor players in the industry

SPSA participa dentro de la industria retail y en el subsector de supermercados en Perú. En este subsector hay tres principales competidores: Supermercados Peruanos, Cencosud y Tottus. SPSA ha logrado posicionarse como líder desde 2016. El presente documento desarrolla el Plan Estratégico para la empresa Supermercados Peruanos S.A. (SPSA) con la finalidad de mantener este liderazgo. Este plan se ha desarrollado con información pública, utilizando el método de modelo secuencial propuesto por D’Alessio (2015). En tal sentido, se ha planteado una visión con un horizonte de cinco años (2023). Se ha encontrado que SPSA gestiona de manera adecuada, y mejor que las empresas de este mercado, sus oportunidades, amenazas, fortalezas y debilidades. Sin embargo, aún debe mejorar esta gestión ya que, comparada con empresas líderes a nivel mundial, solo tiene un desempeño promedio aceptable mas no competitivo. En base a este análisis, se han establecido objetivos de largo plazo alineados a los intereses de SPSA. Estos objetivos se enfocan principalmente en mejorar la utilidad, incrementar las ventas online y tener mayor participación de mercado con las marcas propias. Las estrategias planteadas están alineadas a estos los objetivos de largo plazo, las cuales se centran en penetrar distintos mercados a través de la creación de nuevos formatos y más tiendas. / SPSA plays in the retail industry and in the subsector of supermarkets in Peru. There are three main competitors: Peruvian Supermarkets, Cencosud and Tottus. SPSA is the leader since 2016. The following document, the Strategic Plan for the company Supermercados Peruanos S.A. (SPSA), has been created to maintain SPSA’s leadership. This plan has been developed with public information, using the sequential model method proposed by D'Alessio (2015). In this sense, a vision has been proposed with a horizon of five years (2023). It has been found that SPSA manages its opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses adequately, and better than the companies in this market. However, the way that SPSA manage this situation must be improved since, compared to leading companies worldwide, it only has an average performance that is acceptable but not competitive. Based on this analysis, long-term objectives aligned with the interests of SPSA have been established. These objectives are mainly focused on improving profits, increasing online sales and having a greater market share with private label brands. The strategies proposed are aligned to these long-term objectives, which focus on penetrating different markets through the creation of new formats and stores.

Scientific knowledge in geography, economic and commercial dynamics have changed not only the relationship between the land, architecture and landscape of the cities, but also influences the behavior of citizens looking for self-service for their survival. In recent decades, due to changes in economic and socio-cultural, and technological advancement, communication speed and the transport system, it became possible to observe a commercial and geo-economic shift away from city centers, especially the so-called cities averages for the districts. Uberaba, located in the Mesorregião do Triângulo Mineiro e alto Paranaíba, has a population, according to IBGE, more than 2955000 inhabitants with a gross national product of R$ 6,221 billion reais. In town, we can see that this migration has transformed the business dynamics of the urban territory with the creation of new shopping centers, from the inclusion of self-service large surfaces, especially in the retail supermarket sector and even wholesale. In this sense, this research aims to understand the dynamics of retail self-service retail food Uberaba (MG) and the expansion of trade in the city neighborhood stores. Results reveal that there has been a devolution of supermarkets for the neighborhoods of Uberaba, including national networks, transnational, regional and local. In addition, strategies were self-serving survival of the neighborhood in the city, as wide variety of product mix, advertising and direct interaction between management and consumers, as well as loyalty cards, combined with attractive price and good service, which has shown be effective in maintaining old customers and win new. / No conhecimento científico geográfico, a dinâmica econômico-comercial tem transformado não apenas a relação entre o território, a arquitetura e a paisagem das cidades, como ainda influencia no comportamento do cidadão que procura o autosserviço para sua sobrevivência. Em décadas recentes, em virtude de alterações econômicas e sócio-culturais, assim como o avanço tecnológico, a agilidade na comunicação e no sistema de transportes, tornou-se possível observar um deslocamento comercial e geoeconômico do centro das cidades, em especial das denominadas cidades médias, para os bairros. Uberaba, localizada na Mesorregião do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba, possui uma população, segundo o IBGE, de mais de 295.000 habitantes com um produto interno bruto de R$ 6,221 bilhões de reais. Na cidade, podemos observar que essa migração comercial tem transformado a dinâmica do território urbano com a criação de novos centros comerciais, a partir da inserção de grandes superfícies de autosserviço, sobretudo no setor supermercadista de varejo e até mesmo atacadista. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo compreender a dinâmica do comércio varejista de autosserviço do varejo alimentar de Uberaba (MG) e a expansão do comércio das lojas de vizinhança pela cidade. Resultados revelam que houve uma desconcentração dos supermercados para os bairros de Uberaba, incluindo as redes nacionais, transnacionais, regionais e locais. Além disso, foram introduzidas estratégias de sobrevivência do autosserviço de vizinhança na cidade, como grande variedade de mix de produtos, propaganda e a interação direta entre gerência e consumidores, além de cartões de fidelidade, aliado ao preços atrativo e bom atendimento, o que tem demonstrado ser eficaz na manutenção dos antigos consumidores e conquista de novos. / Mestre em Geografia

Trata-se de um estudo de caso com triangulação de dados a partir de dois supermercados localizados no interior de Minas Gerais. Foram realizadas entrevistas com diferentes stakeholders com objetivo de ampliar a visão acerca das barreiras existentes no setor de energia solar fotovoltaica. Os resultados demonstram, a partir dos estudos de casos, que o investimento é viável e um dos fatores que mais contribui para a viabilidade econômico-financeira é o preço da tarifa de energia elétrica. Conclui-se que a geração de energia solar fotovoltaica tem se tornado cada vez mais competitiva, em parte pela redução nos custos dos módulos fotovoltaicos e pelo preço da tarifa de energia praticadas pelas concessionárias. Aliada ao grande potencial solar existente no Brasil e considerando que, para o setor varejista, a energia elétrica é a segunda maior despesa, subindo quase 40% desde 2014, além das expectativas de retomada do crescimento econômico do País, a geração distribuída de energia solar fotovoltaica é uma alternativa que pode contribuir para mitigar problemas ambientais, reduzindo a emissão dos gases de efeito estufa e também o impacto nas mudanças climáticas. / This study aims to evaluate the key elements that contribute to economic-financial viability and to identify the main barriers to implement a system of distributed generation of photovoltaic solar energy in the commercial sector. It is a case study with triangulation of data from two supermarkets located in the interior of Minas Gerais State, in Brazil. Interviews have been conducted with different stakeholders aiming to broaden the comprehension of the existing barriers in photovoltaic solar energy sector. Results from the case studies show that investment is viable and one of the factors that contributes most to the economic-financial viability is the price of electricity rate. The conclusion is that generation of photovoltaic solar energy has become increasingly competitive, partially due to reduction in costs of photovoltaic modules and price of energy rate charged by concessionaires. Combined with the great solar potential in Brazil and considering that, for the retail sector, electricity is the second largest expenditure, rising almost 40% since 2014, in addition to the expectations of a resumption of the country's economic growth, distributed generation of photovoltaic solar energy is an alternative that can contribute to mitigate environmental problems, reducing both emission of greenhouse gases and impact on climate change.

[pt] O varejo é um dos segmentos industriais que mais tem sofrido mudanças nos últimos anos, graças ao advento das tecnologias de informação e de telecomunicações que revolucionaram o mercado. Nos últimos 50 anos os supermercados brasileiros evoluíram de sua primeira loja até as lojas eletrônicas. Por um lado, estas aparecem para suas proprietárias como soluções baratas para expansão. Por outro, alguns segmentos de consumidores têm muita resistência a fazer suas compras pela Internet. Muitas pessoas, usuárias de computador e de Internet, preferem ir à loja em vez de fazer suas compras pela web. A proposta deste trabalho foi realizar uma pesquisa exploratória sobre as razões que levam consumidores a não utilizarem o meio eletrônico no momento de fazer suas compras de supermercado. O objetivo foi atingido em etapas. Inicialmente os atributos característicos das lojas de supermercado foram levantados através de pesquisa de observação. A etapa seguinte foi a realização de uma pesquisa qualitativa com grupos de discussão, com a finalidade de estudar a interação dos consumidores com os sites de supermercados através do método da análise do conteúdo. Por último, foi realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa com uma amostra de consumidores, a fim de levantar e testar as barreiras. A análise dos dados obtidos na pesquisa comprovou que existem barreiras para que consumidores com acesso a computador e Internet façam compras de supermercado on- line, as quais podem ser trabalhadas pelo varejista através de mudanças em seu mix de marketing. / [en] Retailing is an industrial segment which has changed much in the last few years because of the development of information and telecommunication technologies that brought up a revolution in the world. In the last 50 years, Brazilian supermarkets have evolved from the first brick- and-mortar store to ecommerce. On the one hand, electronic supermarkets seem like a cheap solution for the expansion of their companies. On the other, certain consumer segments have great resistance in doing their shopping on the Internet. Many people, regular computer and Internet-users, would rather go to the physical store than do their shopping in the website. The goal of this paper is to perform an exploratory research on the reasons why consumers do not use electronic media when they do their supermarket shopping. To achieve this goal we went through certain steps. First, the attributes of brick-and-mortar supermarkets were described by observatory research. The following step was a qualitative research with focus groups, with the objective of studying the interaction of consumers with supermarket websites done through discourse analysis. The last step was a quantitative research with a sample of consumers, to raise and test the barriers. The analysis of the data obtained showed the existence of barriers to online supermarket shopping for consumers with access to computers and the Internet. These barriers can be overcome by the retailer through a change in the marketing mix.

Esta pesquisa analisa a importância de empresas supermercadistas que já operam com centrais de negócio, onde buscam obter melhores condições competitivas de mercado, mais especificamente denominados supermercados de vizinhança, destacando os fatores que podem ser mais facilmente percebidos pelos clientes dessas lojas. Apesar da reconhecida importância das centrais de negócios no contexto brasileiro, ainda existe pouco conhecimento aprofundado do assunto. Esta iniciativa ganhou força no País apenas nos últimos cinco anos e a maioria dos estudos encontrados na literatura possui caráter predominantemente exploratório. Neste sentido, a presente pesquisa buscou, por meio do levantamento bibliográfico e do estudo de caso, obter a opinião dos clientes acerca da percepção de benefícios ao comprarem produtos nas lojas que pertencem a uma central de negócio, quando comparados com lojas equivalentes, consideradas concorrentes. Foi realizada uma pesquisa com abordagem quantitativa, no formato estudo de caso utilizando-se amostragem por conveniência. A coleta de dados da amostra foi feita através de questionário estruturado. Para analisar os dados foi utilizado o teste de Mann- Whitney, cuja aplicação é indicada quando estão em comparação dois grupos independentes. Os resultados permitiram identificar a existência de percepção de benefícios dos consumidores ao comprarem em supermercados de vizinhança pertencentes a uma central de negócio, bem como identificar os aspectos mais representativos dos referidos benefícios. / This research analyzes the importance of the supermarket enterprises, more specifically called \"vicinity supermarkets\" or \"neighborhood supermarkets\" which that already work organized under central business cells, in order to gain better competitive market conditions, highlighting the factors that are easily recognized by their clients. In spite of the already known importance of this kind of business in the Brazilian context, there is not a deep knowledge about the subject. The implementation of these central business cells has been carried out in Brazil only in the last 5 years, and most of the studies found in the references show a nature predominantly exploratory. In this sense, the present research is composed of a bibliographic review and a case study. The objective of the case study was to identify the clients\' opinion related to the perception of benefits on buying from the stores that belong to a central business cell and from other competitors. It was undertaken 236 (two hundred thirty six) interviews conducted in a quantitative approach, using a case study that involved a sample for convenience.. The data obtained were analyzed though the Mann-Whitney statistic test, which is indicated to be used when two independent groups are under comparison. The results allowed identifying the existence of benefit\'s perception of consumers when buying at neighborhood supermarkets that is part of a central business cells, as well as the more relevant aspects of these benefits.
