Abstract
En la actualidad, y con mayor aceleración por la pandemia del Covid-19, según Sunkel
y Ullman (2019), el entorno virtual está presente en las distintas actividades cotidianas de
todas las personas, por lo que la falta de conocimientos básicos en el adulto mayor lo excluye
de realizar distintas actividades y los margina de la sociedad, tal como lo sugiere Fuerte
(2020).
Mundo Tec Senior nace para cubrir las necesidades de conocimientos básicos en el
uso de la tecnología, en la vida del adulto mayor, ofreciendo autonomía y confianza, a través
de un servicio integral que conforma una “puerta virtual” que le brinda acceso a
entrenamiento tecnológico, asistencia permanente y una comunidad virtual afín a su
generación, donde se sienta acompañado y apoyado para compartir sus necesidades y
expectativas.
El modelo de negocio, abarca solamente a los adultos mayores de los segmentos
socioeconómicos A y B, ya que permite que éste sea rentable, resolviendo así el problema de
una pequeña población afectada. Con mayor experiencia en la operativa del negocio, se busca
ampliar la cobertura del servicio a los demás segmentos de la población, llevando la inclusión
tecnológica a más adultos mayores.
La inversión inicial del proyecto corresponde a S/150,000, usado principalmente para
la campaña de lanzamiento, acondicionamiento del local y desarrollo de aplicativos, la cual
será financiada íntegramente por tres socios. Este se considera viable al tener como resultados
un VAN de S/2,721,792, una TIR de 172.11%, y un VAN social de S/ 599,912, en un periodo
de cinco años. El presupuesto principal, dentro del mencionado período, es para el área de
Marketing; más de S/500,000, para lograr posicionar la marca, fidelizar a los clientes y que
estos recomienden el servicio.
Nowadays, according to Sunkel and Ullman (2019), the virtual environment is present in the different daily activities of all people mostly due to Covid 19, so the lack of basic knowledge in the elderly excludes them from carrying out different activities marginalizing from society as Fuerte (2020) declares. Mundo Tec Senior borns to cover the needs of basic technology knowledge in daily elderly life, offering autonomy and confidence through an inclusive service that forms a "virtual technology door" that provides access to training in different technology applications, permanent telephone assistance and being part of a virtual community related to their generation where they feel accompanied and supported to share their needs and expectations. The business model covers only elderly in socioeconomic segments A and B because it allows being profitable thus solving the problem of a small affected population. The goal is to gain experience in this business operation to expand the service coverage to other population segments bringing technological inclusion to a large group of elderly. First instance investment of this project corresponds to S/150,000, mainly used to launch campaign, premises conditioning and applications development, this will be fully financed by three partners. This is considered feasible as it results in a NPV of S/2,721,792, an IRR of 172.11%, and a social NPV of S/ 599,912, over a five years period. The main budget, in the mentioned period of time, is for the Marketing area, more than S/500,000 for brand positioning, to build customer loyalty and satisfaction.
