It is a tremendous honor for me to be the current Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of this well- regarded journal. I am pleased to announce that the AJMI has recently been promoted to be placed in the ASEAN Citation Index (ACI). I would therefore like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to all the contributing authors for providing such a rich variety of outstanding research articles and to the editorial members, reviewers and all staff who have helped to make this AJMI successfully achieve this level. In this issue (V3N1), we are pleased to publish eleven selected papers focussing on the diverse themes of business management, marketing, the hotel industry, education and the AEC impact on an important Thai industry. These papers explore (inter-alia) customer perspectives toward expectations of product returns in the mobile industry, satisfaction on service quality in the mobile banking service, and relationship management capability and marketing survival. Other interesting papers investigate the multilevel structural equation model of the universities in Thailand, climate change related research from within the banking industry, and international business law. One article outlines the research outcomes investigating the risk and return in the Thai equity mutual fund using ranking matrix. Papers relating to the hotel industry and business management investigate the integration of organic foods into the opportunities for the hotel industry in Thailand, along with a study of staff turnover and how to form a good organization for success. In writing on the AEC trend, the paper shows the effect of this trend on the frozen shrimp industry after AEC implementation using the analysis of the market occupation ratio and SWOT analysis. As always, the success of this journal is built on the efforts of all the authors, reviewers, editors and the AJMI staff. Once again, my great thanks to all and I look forward to our continuing relationship and to receiving your future contributions to our AJMI which makes a valuable scholarly contribution to our academic and research community. If you have any comments, please do not hesitate to send an email to: [email protected] and/or visit the website: http://ajmi.stamford.edu. Thank you for your continued support of the AJMI.

Extant literature on managing product returns and the reverse flow of products (Bernon et al, 2013; Hess et al., 1996; Wang et al., 2007) focuses on firm foundations, instead of customer perspectives. This study proposed that to be better managed, consumer product returns might be seen as service offerings. Returns service management could then focus on actual customer expectations. In other words, customer needs and anticipations must be taken into account when providing returns service. A literature review in marketing, product returns, and reverse logistics, as well as individual in- depth interviews were employed. Samples were mobile telephone customers, a rapidly growing industry in Thailand. Qualitative content analysis was the technique used to analyze data. Results were that, based on customer viewpoint, the product returns processes included seeking for returns service information, contacting the service centers, looking forward to compensation/returns, inspecting and receiving compensation/returns and evaluating the whole returns process. Accordingly, twelve customer expectations were identified: tangibles; responsiveness;

It is particularly important in the tourism industry when international customers may be unable to communicate directly with service providers in the receiving country, and this has a direct effect on the level of satisfaction that they enjoy during their experience. To address this issue, countries attempt to various degrees to manage their labour markets so as to produce a number of graduates from secondary and tertiary level educational institutions commensurate with the demand from the sector. However, this is quite a young industry at the global level, and it is not clear to what extent the number and quality of such graduates with international language ability will be required. This paper studies the comparative extent of such education at the tertiary level of individuals in both Thailand and Malaysia. It aims to compare the number and variety of people being trained in the tourism and hospitality industry and the extent to which languages are being taught. Results show that there is something of a disconnection between the languages provided and the languages that tourists desire in terms of their mother tongue.

  • The Thailand Qualification Framework: Similarities and Differences in the Measured and Desired Attributes
    THE THAILAND QUALIFICATION FRAMEWORK: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN THE MEASURED AND DESIRED ATTRIBUTES Pisoot Thankdenchai Department of Logistics and Supply Chain Management, SripatumUniversity Chandhaluk Heesawat Graduate School, Stamford International University ABSTRACT There is a mismatch between employers’ expectations of the abilities of new graduate employees, and the realities. This paper synthesizes studies which deal with this mismatch. It reviews previous studies of quality assurance standards, expectations, and actual measurement. In the ‘Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education’ (TQF: HEd), five dimensions evaluate the attributes of all freshly recruited graduates. Content analysis has been used to examine annual TQF Assessment Reports of 20 universities in Thailand. The key five domains of the Office of Higher Education Council (OHEC), were compared with the desired attributes synthesized from previous research into the assessments of graduates’ Thai employers. In those previous studies, the most desirable attributes were categorized into twenty-five items. The recommendation in this paper is to add some attributes, such as the Domain of Psychomotor Skills (Arit.chandra.ac.th, n.d., p.2); and decrease the five domains to only three, in accordance with the National Education Act, 1999 (Thai year 2542). Three main latent attributes have been examined to cover the three perspectives, which were: A) Academic knowledge to provide foundation for their further development; B) Practical knowledge which directly transforms into work readiness; and C) Ethical and moral mindsets to perform professional practices. The most important was defined as professional ethics. The integration of the findings, resulting from the interpretation of the variables, constructs, models and meanings, is shown in the Appendices, categorized by the three types of stakeholders: Students, Job Candidates, and Employers.
