    Opportunity recognition plays a central role in the emergence of nascent ventures in entrepreneurship research. The main purpose of this study was to present the mediating effects of opportunity recognition on incubation resources and human capital. Moreover, the study scrutinises the complex inter-relations between opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial product innovation. The data were collected from 389 incubated software start-ups in Thailand and statistically performed by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed a persistent impact of the opportunity recognition on the incubation resources and human capital. Opportunity recognition also serves as a significant driver in enhancing entrepreneurial potential to boost new products/services. Interestingly, the study found that the human capital of incubated software entrepreneurs has no significant effect, statistically, on product innovation, against the better judgement of business empires worldwide. © Imperial College Press.

    The role of engagement among farmers in developing farming knowledge: Evidence from northern Thailand

    Several studies found science-based knowledge has only able to reach a small fraction of their desired recipient. To compensate for the lack of formal sources, farmers often relied on informal sources of knowledge within their farming community. This study investigates the role of farmer's social engagement in developing farming knowledge and farmer's decision-making. A structural equation modelling was used to test the hypothesised moderating role of social engagement among farmers on the effects of service access, training, and knowledge-sharing on farming knowledge. The study used the case of rice farmers in Northern Thailand, wherein a focus group discussion and a series of survey interviews were conducted. Study results found that social interactions among farming communities significantly moderated the effects of training and knowledge-sharing. The findings support the critical role of social engagement among farmers in increasing information flow and experiential knowledge exchange in developing farming knowledge. Furthermore, social interactions promote farming innovation and management practices through advice-seeking with other farmers. Hence, in supporting farming sustainability, extension support should also focus on network building among actors within the farming community and understand how farmers exchange experiential knowledge to compensate for the lack of formal sources of knowledge.

    Farmers' perception of rice production community enterprise's roles: Evidence from Chachoengsao Province, Thailand
    (2021-11-23)

    Rice production community enterprises (RPCEs) have emerged in Thailand as a group initiative supported by the government to help address the challenges of rice farmers in rural areas. However, farmers still faced problems due to a lack of targeted programs and policies to improve the enterprise's roles in the community. This study investigated farmer-members' perception of an RPCE's specific roles. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 201 farmers in Sanam Chai Khet District, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. Data were analyzed using the weighted average index (WAI) method to assess the farmers' perception of the RPCE's roles. Results reveal that RPCE members have a strong perception of the enterprise's role in increasing their income. Other roles such as knowledge and skills improvement, supplying inputs at a fair price, increasing social network, product competition with rivals, and provision of credit facilities, were rated as medium, demonstrating the considerable efforts exerted by RPCEs to improving its members. Moreover, a weak rating was given by members for the enterprise's role as a saving source implying that government should further intensify its support for RPCEs in terms of promoting the saving behavior among members. This study suggests that stronger policy support should be given to upgrade RPCEs based on how members perceived them. This would encourage more member participation and secure more benefits and income for members of the community enterprise.
