    Ozone is second only to fluorine as the most powerful oxidant in the world. It's the most powerful, natural air and water sanitizer readily available and can break down chemicals into their basic naturally-occurring component parts. The objectives of this study were therefore, to test a model of technology adoption used in the ozone generator industry in Thailand. Self-reporting questionnaires were retrieved from 500 production and engineering managers in both central and eastern Thailand enterprises from a total of 3,000 distributed. The research framework integrates Corporate Vision, Awareness, Interest, Evaluation and Trial to hypothesize a theoretical model to explain and predict adoption of ozone generator technology. All latent variables in the model have a positive influence on the adoption of Thai ozone generator technology. The model furthermore consisted of 18 observed variables with a variable latency of 6 variables which had a positive influence on the adoption of ozone generator technology. The final structural model was verified to achieve a good fit with the empirical data at 65% because of the decision to use new products in ozone generator technology. Using LISREL 8.72 Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the results showed that that the variables that influence technology use the most are Adoption, followed by Interest and Evaluation, followed by Trial, Awareness and Corporate Vision having the effects of 0.73, 0.53, 0.42, 0.31 and 0.23, respectively.

    International networking capability on international marketing performance of Thai garment entrepreneur in CLMV market
    (2017-01-01)
    Kasornbua, Thichakorn
    ;
    This research had an objective to study an influence of the international networking capability on the international marketing performance of Thai garment industry in CLMV markets. Data were collected from the entrepreneurs, company owner and international affairs manager of garment industry 204 cases using multiple regression analysis. The research’s result showed the factors in the international networking capability that had the influence on the international marketing performance comprising 3 factors as partner knowledge, relation skills, and coordination respectively. These 3 factors had the positive influence on the international marketing performance. Referring to the research findings, we recommended that in case the entrepreneurs required being in CLMV markets, they should emphasize the importance of partner knowledge mostly. Reasoning, the rules, and regulations relating to the foreign entrepreneurs in CLMV markets were inadequately encouraged.

    Antecedents to creating shared value at thai waste-to-energy facilities
    (2018-01-01)

    ;
    In 2015, 1.2 billion people, or 16% of the global population, did not have access to electricity. Simultaneously, solid waste generation reached 200 million tons annually, and is projected to exceed 11 million tons per day by 2100. Solutions must hence be found, with Waste-to-Energy conversion a strong but controversial and costly contender. By use of cluster sampling, a sample of 361 individuals was obtained, from which a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model was undertaken using LISREL 9.1. All causal factors in the model were shown to have a positive influence on the creation of shared value of the Waste-to-Energy Power Plant and the local community, with 68% of the variance of the factor affecting the creation of shared value. Ranked in importance, the variables were government policy, the Waste-to-Energy operators and community participation, with a total score of 0.83, 0.37 and 0.36, respectively.

    Electronic waste: The social and environmental importance of Thai teenager consumer awareness

    According to the United Nations 42 million metric tonnes of e-waste were generated around the globe in 2014 which represented some US$52 billion of potentially reusable resources referred to as the ‘urban mine’, little of which however was collected for recovery. The importance of the proper disposal of e-waste and its hazardous effects to the environment and humans is little understood as well. Electronic Waste which represented seven percent of the world’ s e-waste is different from general waste as there are many diverse and complex parts including heavy metals and hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Improper handling and disposal can cause significant harm to the environment as well as pose a health hazard to humans. Solid waste management is a complex task which requires the use of advanced technology and specialized process controls. Most e-waste facilities are using aged equipment and techniques which must be upgraded to international standards. Over the years many countries have embraced an Extended Producer Responsibility but today more is needed as the problem has reached unsustainable levels. Stronger legislation in the form of Thailand’s WEEE Management Act unfortunately is tied up in a bureaucratic process with many levels of approval necessary before it can be enacted. One possible solution is the education of the consumer segment most likely to be using these devices, teenagers. Reaching out to teenagers to understand the environmental and human health effects of the improper disposal of discarded, toxic e-waste is a possible solution for the future. Governmental regulation alone will not be adequate to curb the mindless disposal but instead must be supplemented with an education campaign at the earliest stages of consumption, the teenager. This therefore is the reasons for the proposed study.

    Perceptions on ozonation water treatment use: An alternative idea for ASEAN water resource sustainability
    (2017-06-01)

    ;
    ;
    Ozonation (or ozonisation) is a chemical water treatment technique based on the infusion of ozone into water. As early as 1893, this process was used in Europe for the treatment of drinking water and as recently as 2014, the most modern ozone water treatment facility in the world was brought online to protect the waters of Switzerland's Lake Geneva. However, studies vary widely in conditions leading to ozone technology use, and the subsequent factors concerning its effectiveness. From a population of 7,006 Thai industrial estate companies, a sample of 500 executives, managers, and engineers was drawn which completed an 80-item survey which was analysed by use of a structural equation model using LISREL 8.72. Results showed that acceptance had the greatest influence on ozonation treatment technology use, while the remaining five latent variables (ranked in importance) included curiosity, provisional trial, testing, cognizance, and strategy.

    Thai legal practitioners’ knowledge management: Communications skills, professionalism, and competency as the antecedents for success
    (2018-01-01)
    Teeranantawanich, Cherdsak
    ;
    The purpose of this research was to examine the variables contributing to Thai legal practitioners’ knowledge management abilities. By means of simple random-sampling, the sample of 332 individuals was surveyed using the 72-item, 7-level, Likert type agreement scale questionnaire on the study’s four constructs. Confirmatory factor analysis was run prior to the structural equation model, with the analysis undertaken in LISREL 9.1. All causal factors in the model were shown to have a positive influence on knowledge management, with 92% variance of the factor affecting knowledge management (KM) (R2). Ranked in importance were communications skills (CSK), competency (COMP), and professionalism (PRO), with the total mean score of 0.96, 0.43, and 0.34, respectively.
