Item type:Publication, How organizational characteristics and employee involvement affect quality management practices in the Thai food industry(2014-01-01); Quality management practices can help an organization thrive in an increasingly competitive global market. Based on a comprehensive literature review, this study identifies organizational characteristics that encourage employee involvement and improve quality management practices. The sample group was comprised of 271 people representing middle management in Thailand's food industry. The variables of employee involvement were intervening latent variables in the relationship. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyse the results which showed that fewer hierarchies of command and decentralized decision making power had a significantly positive affect on quality management practices in organizations. © 2014 Academic Journals Inc. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Assessment of farmers' knowledge and attitudes towards the commercialisation of Tailor-made fertilisers in Thailand(2014-01-01); In Thailand, chemical fertilisers provide nutrients that are essential for increasing agricultural productivity but they are expensive, often representing 25% of the crop production cost. Tailor-made fertiliser technology is a new fertiliser application technology that is being promoted to help farmers reduce fertihser costs. This study aims to investigate and clarify sugarcane farmers' knowledge and attitudes towards tailor-made-fertiliser. This study also attempts to provide a better understanding of the effect of farm size on farmers' beliefs and attitudes towards tailor-madefertiliser. Moreover, the findings suggest that further extension of tailor-made-fertiliser practices should include training services for smallholders to improve their knowledge of relevant practices. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Influence of marketing mix elements on the intention of sugarcane farmers in Thailand to use commercial tailor-made fertiliser(2015-01-01); Tailor-made fertiliser (TMF) is a new practice in Thailand that aims to achieve a more efficient use of a fertiliser on cultivated soil. This study attempts to determine farmers' attitudes toward a marketing mix of TMF and to investigate factors influencing the farmers' intention to use TMF in accordance with the marketing mix strategy. A survey was conducted among 387 sugar cane farmers who were interviewed at the Thamaka sugar refinery, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. The results indicate that farmers' attitude toward the retailer available over a wide area has the biggest influence on their intention to use TMF. This is followed by their attitude toward stability of TMF product quality, and by whether price is more competitive than other chemical fertiliser. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, How intellectual capital, knowledge management, and the business environment affect thailand’s food industry innovation(2018-01-01); In 2015, Thailand employed nearly 11% of the population in agriculture, which has always been a stable and prosperous component of the economy. Having a rich natural abundance of resources, combined with significant investments in technology, food safety, and research and development (R&D) have helped contribute to Thailand being labeled as “Kitchen of the World.” Given these priorities, stratified sampling was employed to select 246 individuals from the target population. Confirmatory factor analysis was used, followed by a structural equation model to analyze how intellectual capital, knowledge management, and the business environment affect innovation in Thailand’s entrepreneurial food industry. The research survey was conducted using a questionnaire which contained a 7-level Likert type agreement scale. Results from the study revealed that the food industry’s knowledge management capability was the most important factor (0.60), which was also influenced directly by the organization’s intellectual capital (0.44). Of lesser importance was intellectual capital (0.39) and the business environment (0.39). - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Analysis on savings and credit cooperatives efficiency in Thailand: A data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach(2014-01-01); The microfinance institutions in Thailand were considered to be significant as the alternative financing source such as Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SCCs). While these institutions have been intensified in term of cooperative quantity and impact on entire economy, many SCCs' operations have still now been suffered from losses with negative returns and liquidity problems. This research therefore aims to investigate the efficiency of 732 SCCs in Thailand by using the databases of Cooperative Auditing Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives of Thailand and evaluate SCCs' technical efficiencies on production and intermediation model by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The efficiency evaluation results classified according to the types of cooperatives indicated that state enterprise cooperative had maximum quantity of efficient cooperatives and average efficiency score. When conducting the co-analysis on efficient cooperatives or best practiced cooperatives of each type of cooperative, it was found that private cooperatives had maximum efficiency in term of cooperative quantity and efficiency score. © 2014 Academic Journals Inc. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
