    From farm to fork: logistics, transport, infrastructure Richard D. Lovell Paper prepared for presentation at the “The Supermarket Revolution In Food: Good, bad or ugly for the world’s farmers, consumers and retailers?” conference conducted by the Crawford Fund for International Agricultural Research, Parliament House, Canberra, Australia, 14-16 August 2011 Copyright 2011 by Richard D. Lovell. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. From farm to fork: logistics, transport, infrastructure Richard D. Lovell Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Ltd Abstract In Thailand, as in other markets, the supermarket ‘revolution’ is seen as a ‘two-edged sword’. On the one hand, it can lower food prices for consumers and create opportunities for farmers and processors to gain access to quality-differentiated food markets and raise incomes. On the other hand, it can create challenges for small retailers, farmers, and processors who are not equipped to meet the new competition from, and requirements of, supermarkets. Retailing in Thailand has come a long way in only a couple of decades, with new companies entering the market, such as the large European companies Tesco, Carrefour (until recently) and Big C (Casino Group). The number of convenience stores has also grown, with 7-Eleven (6000 stores) run by CP Group (CP ALL) and to a lesser extent Family Mart from Taiwan. Along with these modern trade retailers, third party logistics (3PL) service providers such as Linfox, DHL, CEVA Logistics and others have also entered Thailand.

  • The Drivers Behind Outward Foreign Direct Investment in the Chinese Telecommunication Sector: a Case-Based Analysis
    UNIVERSITE CATHOLIQUE DE LOUVAIN LOUVAIN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT The drivers behind outward foreign direct investment in the Chinese telecommunication sector: A case-based analysis. Supervisor : Prof. Dr. Jean-Christophe Defraigne Project (Research) Master Thesis submitted by Midas De Bondt With a view of getting the degree Master in Management ACADEMIC YEAR 2014-2015 Foreword This thesis was motivated by my sincere interest in emerging economies the different management challenges rising from these economies. The mere fact that the world of management and especially the world of international management has changed so significantly since I started my studies, was a never ending motivation. Even though this interest had always been present, it was not until the first year of my master’s degree that this interest really surfaced during a course called “European Economic Policy” at the Louvain School of Management. It can thus hardly be called a surprise that I was delighted that Professor Jean- Christophe Defraigne accepted to be my thesis promotor. I want to start by thanking him for the excellent support and trust that he has given me to throughout the year and a bit leading up to the completion of this thesis. To continue I would like to thank all the other academics that have influenced me – and thus the content of this thesis - throughout my academic curriculum. Obviously the Louvain School of Management has played the most important role in this aspect, but I would not do justice to plenty of others by not naming them. I therefore want to thank all the professors that have taught, supported and challenged me at the KULeuven, The London School of Economics and Political Sciences and the Wharton School.

  • Internet Service Providers in Thailand
    Internet Service Providers In Thailand: Evaluation of Determinants Affecting Customer Loyalty By Student 2 A dissertation submitted for the Masters in Business Administration The Business School University of Roehampton 2011 Declaration Form The work I have submitted is my own effort. I certify that all the material in this Dissertation, which is not my own work, has been identified and acknowledged. No materials are included for which a degree has been previously conferred upon me. Signed Date (Saruta Tangjai) i The Abstract Recently, the Internet service industry in Thailand has been developing and improving their marketing strategies to retain existing customers and create new ones because of a highly competitive market. It is significant for Internet service providers to consider customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in order to help their businesses develop a competitive edge and increase their brand value. In addition, customer loyalty can be a significant factor that helps an Internet service provider increase its profits and create more competitive advantages in the long-term (Oliver, 1999: Lin and Wang, 2006). This research aims to explore the determinants, which affect customer loyalty in the context of Internet service providers in Thailand. A questionnaire survey was conducted with a sample consisting of Thai Internet users in the capital city, Bangkok. The determinants that affect customer loyalty have been tested and analyzed using several approaches so as to explore the significant determinants and understand relationship between the determinants and customer loyalty. The determinants that were analyzed in this research are tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, pricing, switching cost, trust and brand image.

  • Thai News Update: 16 May 2019
    Thai News Update: 16 May 2019 Thai News Update: 16 May 2019 1. Progress Seen Towards Digital Transformation Source: The Nation (Link) Thailand is emerging as a fast-growing market for the adoption of digital technology by the country’s organisations and enterprises, a research company says. IDC expects that the performance of Thai organisations and enterprises will be measured by what it calls digital determination over the coming years. Jim Chin, the head of operations at IDC Thailand, said that most organisations and enterprises in the country still spend much more on hardware devices such as mobile phones, personal computers, storage items, and notebooks, with such items collectively accounting for 60-65 per cent of their total spending on information technology (IT). 2. Thailand Pulls Out All Stops To Nurture Startups Source: The Nation (Link) The startup scene in Thailand is far from thriving, but industry watchers believe the next five to 10 years will bring pivotal changes to the Southeast Asian nation. “Thailand is literally a gold mine for new opportunities,” Jayden Kang, executive director of Line’s startup investment program ScaleUp, told The Korea Herald during a recent interview in Bangkok. Line has a huge presence in the country - Thailand is the messenger service’s No. 2 market after Japan - and it is looking to expand its services to create a “smart platform” consisting of a plethora of mobile contents including payment, games and more. Line ScaleUp plans to invest up to $20 million (Bt630 million) in Thai startups by the end of this year with Line Ventures.

    religions Article Varieties of Buddhist Healing in Multiethnic Philadelphia † C. Pierce Salguero Division of Humanities, The Abington College of Penn State University, 1600 Woodland Rd., Abington, PA 19001, USA; [email protected] † Portions of this article have appeared in nascent form on the Jivaka Project website, http://www.jivaka.net (all links up to date as of 4 January 2019). I wish to thank my research students and assistants, as well as the project’s advisory board, all of whom are listed on the website’s credits page. I also wish to thank Scott Mitchell, Michael Stanley-Baker, and all the colleagues who have commented on previous oral and written versions of this paper (most memorably at the 2016 AAR annual meeting and the 2018 gathering of the Philadelphia Area Buddhist Studies Working Group). Received: 28 November 2018; Accepted: 10 January 2019; Published: 13 January 2019 Abstract: While an increasing amount of attention has been paid in the last decade to mindfulness meditation, the broader impact of Buddhism on healthcare in the United States, or any industrialized Western countries, is still much in need of scholarly investigation. The current article presents preliminary results from an ethnographic study exploring the impact of a wide range of Buddhist institutions, practices, and cultural orientations on the healthcare landscape of the Philadelphia metropolitan area. By particularly focusing on segments of the population that are non-white and that have limited English language skills, one of the main goals of this project is to bring more diverse voices into the contemporary conversation about Buddhism and wellbeing in America.
