Purpose: This article aims to investigate the impact of digital transformation on public hospital management in Peru, with a specific focus on enhancing the patient experience through the adoption of digital technologies. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of digital transformation strategies in improving the efficiency and accessibility of health services in public hospitals, ultimately aiming to enhance the overall patient experience. Theoretical Reference: The study is grounded in a mixed-method approach, incorporating elements of qualitative and quantitative research. It includes a comparative analysis of digital transformation strategies implemented in a representative sample of public hospitals at international, regional, and national levels. Method: The research design involves in-depth interviews with healthcare professionals and patients, as well as the analysis of secondary data from national and international health databases. The study encompasses a diverse sample of public hospitals, considering varying technological capabilities and levels of digital development. Results and Conclusion: The findings indicate that the progressive implementation of digital technologies in public hospitals in Peru has shown promise in improving the efficiency and accessibility of health services. However, challenges related to infrastructure, systems integration, and data security remain. The study underscores the need for a comprehensive and coordinated strategy for digital transformation in public hospital management. Implications of Research: The study highlights the importance of greater investment and development of digital health policies at the national level to bridge the gap in the adoption and implementation of digital technologies in hospital management. It emphasizes the significance of a collaborative approach between government, healthcare providers, and technology developers to drive digital transformation in the healthcare sector in Peru. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the understanding of the potential of digital transformation in public hospital management, particularly in developing countries like Peru. It provides insights into the challenges, opportunities, and implications of implementing digital technologies to enhance the patient experience and improve healthcare delivery in public hospitals.
El desajuste de competencias entre la formación académica y las demandas de la "doble transición" (digital y verde) en las carreras de Ingeniería y Arquitectura de una universidad regional en Junín, Perú. Bajo un enfoque cualitativo y un diseño de estudio de caso único, se examinó un corpus de 84 documentos curriculares mediante el software ATLAS.ti 23. Los resultados confirman que la institución ha priorizado un modelo de aseguramiento de la calidad operativa basado en estándares de SUNEDU y normas ISO, lo cual, si bien garantiza estabilidad administrativa, ha generado una rigidez estructural denominada "trampa del cumplimiento". Esta condición ralentiza la actualización curricular frente a las disrupciones de la Industria 4.0, resultando en perfiles de egreso técnicamente solventes en lo tradicional, pero con una marcada desconexión funcional respecto a las herramientas de frontera. El análisis relacional y de co-ocurrencia evidencia una fragmentación crítica en el aula: la tecnología se enseña como un instrumento operativo aislado y la sostenibilidad permanece como un nodo periférico y retórico, carente de una base procedimental para la toma de decisiones técnicas. Se concluye que el desajuste identificado exige una reingeniería profunda de la relación universidad-empresa-territorio. Superar esta crisis requiere transitar hacia modelos pedagógicos flexibles que integren la digitalización y la ética climática como ejes transversales desde los primeros ciclos. Finalmente, se recomienda que la universidad actúe como motor de los estándares industriales locales, garantizando que el profesional regional sea un actor estratégico en la resiliencia y el desarrollo territorial.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increasingly become a strategic and governance-relevant domain that depends on internal capability development to translate stakeholder and sustainability expectations into credible action. In emerging economies, higher education institutions (HEIs) are key arenas where future managers and intrapreneurs acquire human-capital foundations relevant to CSR-related strategy implementation. This exploratory study examines whether students’ self-reported transformational leadership (TL) is associated with entrepreneurial competencies (EC) that are relevant for responsible value creation and stakeholder-oriented execution. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional correlational design, we surveyed 207 senior undergraduate students from business-related programs in a private HEI in Peru. TL was measured using the MLQ-5X (transformational subscale), and EC were assessed through a content-validated and reliability-tested eight-dimension scale (networking, problem solving, achievement orientation, risk taking, teamwork, creativity, autonomy, and initiative). Given distributional characteristics, Spearman’s rho was used for hypothesis testing. Because the design was intentionally limited to first-order associations, no control variables or multivariate models were incorporated. Results show a strong, positive association between TL and overall EC (ρ = 0.822, p < 0.001), with statistically significant positive relationships across all EC dimensions (ρ = 0.709–0.807). These findings are consistent with a microfoundational view of CSR, indicating that leadership-related developmental behaviors are systematically aligned with competence bundles that may support CSR-related strategy enactment under stakeholder complexity and sustainability constraints. The study does not measure CSR outcomes or CSR communication directly; rather, it provides capability-level evidence with implications for HEI curricula and leadership development aimed at preparing graduates for responsible innovation and stakeholder-sensitive decision-making in emerging-economy contexts.
