    The present research aimed to study the student learning needs assessments of entrepreneurship courses in vocational colleges of southwestern China to identify students' learning needs based on the perspectives of creativity, openness to experience, project-based blended learning, design thinking, and entrepreneurship courses. The researcher employed a multi-stage sampling method to select a sample size of 400 current vocational students from four regions in southwestern China to participate in this research. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the means of 15 items. The results showed that the mean values of the items ranged from 3.66 to 4.28, and all items reached at least the need level. Furthermore, respondents strongly agreed on the importance of enhancing openness to experiences and creativity in entrepreneurship courses. Meanwhile, the respondents also indicated the need for project-based blended learning and design thinking as the learning methods to be used in the teaching practices of entrepreneurship. The results of this study are expected to benefit educators in the process of developing new teaching methods and curricula in the field of entrepreneurship education.

    This research paper aims to investigate the impediments faced by innovation-driven enterprises in Thailand and to explore the current measures, policies, and mechanisms related to innovation-driven enterprises (IDEs)’ development both domestically and internationally. The study encompasses a comprehensive approach, including an analysis of an innovation entrepreneur database comprising 320 investors and 883 IDEs. Moreover, semi-structure in-depth interviews were conducted with three investors, twenty-two IDEs’ founders, eight executives, and experts from various sectors, including government, university incubators, and the private sector in Thailand. Through this multifaceted investigation, this paper sheds light on the key factors that hinder the success of IDEs in Thailand, which primarily revolve around the quality of entrepreneurs (Team), Product and Market Fit, and Support. These factors collectively impact the depth of knowledge, business incubation, acceleration programs, and the effectiveness of laws, measures, and policies in supporting innovation capability development within IDEs. In addition, this paper presents a framework for Thailand’s IDEs hub, facilitating the connection between the university's innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem with public and private stakeholders. This framework serves as a mechanism to address the identified hindrances and foster a conducive environment for IDEs development. To address the obstacles, this paper proposes three crucial strategies, namely, (1) talent management, (2) ease of doing scaleup, and (3) availability of funding. These strategies are envisioned to counteract the identified challenges and can be effectively implemented through an operating model and practical working procedures tailored to suit the specific context of Thailand.

This will help business organisations select and design their operating system for their employees. This study used a sample of 271 middle level executives from 74 companies operating in the Thai food industry. The structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse results. Results showed that job characteristics had a positive effect on the application of quality management practices through significant development of employee involvement.
