Let A1 and A2 be standard operator algebras on complex Banach spaces X1 and X2, respectively. For k≥2, let (i1,...,im) be a sequence with terms chosen from \1,…,k\, and assume that at least one of the terms in (i1,…,im) appears exactly once. Define the generalized product T1* T2*⋯* Tk=Ti1Ti2⋯ Tim on elements in Ai. Let Φ:A1\rightarrowA2 be a map with the range containing all operators of rank at most two. We show that Φ satisfies that σπ(Φ(A1)*⋯*Φ(Ak))=σπ(A1*⋯* Ak) for all A1,…, Ak, where σπ(A) stands for the peripheral spectrum of A, if and only if Φ is an isomorphism or an anti-isomorphism multiplied by an mth root of unity, and the latter case occurs only if the generalized product is quasi-semi Jordan. If X1=H and X2=K are complex Hilbert spaces, we characterize also maps preserving the peripheral spectrum of the skew generalized products, and prove that such maps are of the form A↦ cUAU^* or A↦ cUAtU^*, where U\inB(H,K) is a unitary operator, c∈\1,-1\.
