2024-08-01T16:47:24+07:00

Agri-tourism in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province lacks a clearly responsible agency and personnel with expertise and direct experience in agri-tourism management. the current network operates based on individual agency missions, lacking integration and collaboration with relevant organizations. Additionally, the government sometimes initiates activities in the area without considering the actual needs of the community. These activities also lack continuity, and the training techniques used for capacity building are ineffective. Furthermore, the development of local resources is unsystematic, with merely a few collaborative networks. These issues stem from the lack of integrated planning for area development.

The research indicated that the agri-tourism network needs to prioritize collaboration, focusing on development of tourism personnel, community products, tourist attractions, and facilities. It is crucial to connect with all relevant stakeholders, including government agencies, the private sector, the public, communities, and educational institutions, so that their participation is included in these development efforts. This involves organizing training programs to enhance skills and capabilities in tourism management, promoting value addition from community resources to products and services, delivering positive experiences to tourists, and fostering community participation as a model for agri-tourism management.

Furthermore, it was determined that developing appropriate capacity-building models for network partners is also essential. The development of the agri-tourism network’s capacity in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province still faces challenges related to several mechanisms, including the people, resources, and management system used to drive the network.

WORKING CAPITAL POLICY CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE: A CASE STUDY OF LISTED COMPANIES IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR, MAI THAILAND

2024-07-03T15:22:44+07:00

Working capital policy (WCP) has an impact on liquidity and profitability management. An aggressive WCP allows businesses to generate profits from short-term capital sources but poses risks in timely short-term debt repayment. Determination of WCP involves various factors. Previous studies found that the risk level of the working capital policy is solely determined by the financial ratio, overlooking other contributing factors. This research aimed to enhance the coverage of risk dimensions in setting the risk level of WCP by introducing a clustering technique to determine the WCP risk level. The study population consisted of 213 companies listed on the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI). A specific sampling method was employed, focusing on companies within the industrial sector registered on the MAI. This study utilized panel data by gathering financial ratio data from the STATA database and executive position data (CEO, President) through the annual report Form 56-2 from the SEC database. Data collection spanned 15 consecutive years, from 2008 to 2022, divided into two periods: the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and the non-pandemic period, which resulted in a total of 432 observations. The hierarchical clustering analysis technique was utilized, followed by K-means cluster analysis and one-way ANOVA robustness checks. The results revealed that the working capital investment policy (WCIP) could be categorized into three sub-groups: risky, moderate, and conservative. The working capital financing policy (WCFP) could be classified into two sub-groups: risky and conservative. K-means clustering analysis for risk levels identified two groups: a risky and a conservative WCP. One-way ANOVA analysis for group differentiation indicated three sub-groups for both policies.

2024-10-10T19:37:31+07:00

This article presents a mixed-methods research study aimed at analyzing consumer behavior and the customer journey for goat products in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. Data on consumer behavior were collected from a sample group of 943 consumers of goat products at restaurants offering goat-based dishes in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province., The samples were divided into accidental sampling before and after awareness-building (before the study: 523 samples, after the study: 400 samples). Additionally, a targeted sample group of 20 customers was chosen for in-depth interviews to analyze the consumer journey. The research results revealed two main consumer groups: 1) existing goat consumers, who were local residents with purchasing power, aware of the nutritional benefits, and chose to consume goat products due to the product itself and its taste; and 2) new consumers, who had not previously consumed goat products primarily due to lack of exposure to the product and hesitancy to taste it. The key factors influencing the decision to consume goat products consisted of, in order of importance: the product itself, followed by marketing/promotion efforts, price, location of purchase, the restaurant’s image, family/friends, service, and restaurant staff. Regarding the customer journey, consumers typically began by becoming aware of the product through social media pages of restaurants and promotional pages. In the attraction phase, consumers sought additional information by asking those who had already tasted the product or by conducting their own research via social media. In the trust phase, younger target groups expressed interest and willingness to taste goat products, driven by the Soft Power trend. This led to the decision-making phase and, ultimately, to the recommendation of goat products to their close acquaintances. The knowledge gained benefits store owners, enabling them to develop marketing strategies that align with customer needs.
