title: The purchase of organic rice in Thailand: general considerations and the importance of traceability systems

description: This project concentrates on a contemporary topic in applied marketing that focuses on a technological issue that is important to Thailand. In particular, it involves the purchase of organic rice in Thailand in terms of both general considerations and the importance of traceability systems. This study will focus on profiling light and heavy organic rice consumers, criteria for purchasing organic rice and their importance as well as consumer awareness towards the traceability system and the components that consumers desire to see in it. Rice is the main staple food of Thailand, and the demand for organic rice has been increasing due to health and food safety concerns. Organic rice dominates Thai organic agriculture with an 85% stake (Sakolwitayanon, Soni, & Damien, 2018). The major rice brands are now investing in promoting new premium product lines, which consist mainly of organic rice (Rice, pasta, and noodles in Thailand, 2018). Although there are a lot of organic certifications, consumer trust in the organic process is still unclear. If consumers do not perceive of the organic certify label as signifying authenticity, then a traceability system could be a useful tool for enhancing consumers' trust, as it can be used to trace a product’s journey through the supply chain from producer to consumer. However, traceability systems in Thailand are still not commonly used, although the government partnered with IBM in 2010 to start a traceability project intended to strengthen small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Most of the traceability system benefits commonly stated are related to producers and businesses instead of consumers. Consequently, consumer buying process theory will be used in this study to identify the criteria consumers consider when purchasing organic rice, consumer awareness of the traceability system and the system’s desired attributes.The results of the study showed that actually, most consumers did not aim to buy organic rice at first, intending instead to buy colored rice, such as brown rice and rice berry. It turns out that most of the colored rice available in supermarkets that they usually purchase is organic. Consumers were also not aware of the traceability system. However, after being educated, they seemed to see the importance of traceability system in terms of purchasing organic rice.This study will be beneficial to the readers who are in the organic rice business and aim to adopt a traceability system for developing their products and brand reliability. Further, it contains information on what criteria consumers considering when purchasing organic rice. Therefore, marketing managers will be able to understand organic rice consumers better in order to create loyalty to, and differentiation in, their brands.

title: Online food service applications–an investigation of Thai consumer behavior and implications for marketing strategy development

description: From the emergence of the e-commerce and the increasing internet usage in Thailand, online to offline commerce (O2O commerce) is considered one of the highest potential businesses in this era. Food delivery service is a subset of the online to offline commerce which has been an interesting technological business in Thailand for the past few years with several major players in the market, for instance, LINE Man, Grab Food, Food Panda, etc. Thai early adopter started to experience these services which both inhibit food ordering behavior and demands in trying new foods elsewhere at home. However, the current business issue is not about the growth from gaining new users but how to make the users satisfied with the product and service. Most consumer has an easy tendency to switch brands or stop using the product easier than ever, in comparison to the era before the internet and e-commerce.This proposal is a contemporary topic in applied marketing to study the Thai’s consumer behavior in online food service application usage and implications for marketing strategy development. The study will be based on marketing knowledge focusing on the subject area of technology.

title: Attitude and behaviors in buying food-franchise among Bangkokkians

description: Business development contributes significantly to national development. Particularly important for boosting business development are franchise businesses, which create jobs, increase money flow in the system, and raise daily well-being. In recent decades, the franchise business sector has shown significant growth compared to other sectors. Considering the currentfranchise business sector size, there still is a huge growth opportunity in Thailand. “Food and drink” franchise businesses are the biggest part of the total franchise sector. In order to support food franchisor growth in expanding business, food franchisors must understand the needs of potential buyers. Therefore, this research explores, the lifestyles and behaviors oftypical food franchisees, potential buyer motivations for becoming a franchisee, and how to influence their buying decision. The results indicate that most food franchisees have an interest in investing and spending time on personal amusement or relaxing activities, without out much social or external activity. The main motivation for them to purchase their businesswas to find additional income and to open their own business. Surprisingly, neither friends nor relatives significantly influenced the decision to buy a franchise. Personal experience in viewing a particular franchise branch had the largest impact on the purchasing decision.

title: Industry study of wedding tourism in Thailand

description: Trends in the wedding industry have been changing from time to time. The current trend is to create a unique and exclusive experience before, during, and after the wedding. Social media, as part of the rational and psychological mindset behind, act as the tools to project out the exclusivity to the non-participated guests. The destination wedding is one of the most popular options to create a unique and dream-come-true wedding. Most of the destinations that are chosen based on their breath-taking scenery; Mexico, Bali, Bahamas, and Thailand. However, the scenery and location are not the only criteria in making the decision; there are other criteria such as the cost-value, facilities, and hospitalities taking into consideration. As a result, Thailand becomes a popular wedding destination for couples that consider getting married somewhere else. This research aims to analyze and determine the industry, in order to conclude and give recommendations on the wedding tourism industry in three areas, Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Marketing Strategy, Service Providers aspect, and Limitation and Future research. Also, the result of this research could, eventually, be used as a tool to determine the key features that would help Thailand maintain a sustainable growth of wedding tourism industry.The study is conducted by using secondary research, observation, and in-depth interview. The collected data is transcribed, coded data, created the pattern of the data by using reduction method, summarized, and interpreted. The readers will be able to understand the essence and fundamental concept of wedding tourism in Thailand. Apart from that, the readers will understand the expectation and experience of service providers in the industry towards TAT’s marketing strategies.From the research, TAT launched Thailand as a wedding destination in the global arena five years ago. In the last five years, Thailand's wedding tourism has been increasing with healthy growth; however, there is emerging wedding market around the world that Thailand has to be aware of, especially in the potential competitors in the regions, i.e., Malaysia and Vietnam. There is potential for Thailand to grow more in the wedding tourism business, as TAT aims to achieve a 5 percent contribution of total Thailand's tourism revenue.This independent study is focusing on the area of Thailand as destination wedding only, and the conduct of this research is mainly to understand the performance of TAT’s strategies and ability to further Thailand’s wedding tourism in the future. I sincerely hope that the study will benefit people who are interested in Thailand's tourism and wedding tourism industry.

title: Barriers to adoption of ‘no plastic bag’ behavior by supermarket shoppers in Bangkok

description: Plastic bags have long been a major environmental issue in Thailand. We are the sixth highest country disposing plastic waste to the ocean. Within Bangkok, eighty million pieces of plastic bags are still being littered everyday. This is a contemporary topic in applied marketing. The objectives of this study are confined to studying consumers attitudes towards environmental issues caused by plastic bags, their attitude and behavior towards plastic bag usage and to define the factors that will make consumers adopt a ‘no plastic bag’ behavior.Exploratory research is used to conduct this research. The methods include secondary research and in-depth interview. Secondary research is gathered to form a clearer picture of the current situation both locally and internationally, the success cases of other countries that can reduce plastic bag usage and feedback and the local cases highlighted in Thai newspapers. In addition, twenty in-depth interviews were conducted in order to obtain the deep insights among shoppers who are still using plastic bags as their grocery carriers. Data are analyzed by organizing, grouping the data, looking for thematic patterns and interpreting results.The findings show that shoppers are attached to the convenience of using plastic bags. They are aware of the environmental impact caused by plastic bags, but they are still using them. Nevertheless, interviewees who are environmental concerned take cloth bags for shopping from time to time depending on whether it is pre-planned or not. To reduce the usage, supermarkets can offer ‘reward’ or ‘punishment’ to shoppers. Rewards include discount and membership point while punishment requires supermarket to stops giving plastic bags or charging for them. Both rewards and punishment are acceptable for the interviewees, but supermarkets need good planning to implement the changes.

title: The impact of nutritional information on packaging towards Thai consumers’ behavior when purchasing foods

description: Due to the rising health and wellness trend, a healthy diet is more considerate. Nutrition information such as Nutrition Facts Panels is one of the tools which has been used to make the decision on selecting a healthy diet choice. This study is a contemporary topic in applied marketing that focuses on the health issue in the midst of Thai consumer. The insight of the consumer about the usage of nutrition information was inquired by using exploratory research. Then, the awareness and usage of nutrition information on foods package were quantified by using descriptive research. To analyze the correlation between the demographic characteristic and the awareness and usage of nutrition information, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was applied.The result of this research revealed that Thai consumer had a high level of awareness of nutrition information. The usage of nutrition information was also at a high level as well; however: many respondents overlooked some nutrition information. They prioritized the information which might be harmful to their health, sugar amount was the most impact on purchasing decision. The respondents’ characteristics which were age and health consciousness were found the correlation with the awareness and usage of nutrition information.According to the research findings, the management of foods industry might implement the result to be a guideline for new product development in order to attract the health-conscious consumer.

title: Metabolite profiles of the flour of 40 wheat varieties grown at three location.

description: A total of 18 old (year of release 1962-1999) and 22 modern (2005-2014) winter wheat varieties were used for this study (Suppl. Fig. 1). All varieties, which will be designated in the following as genotypes, have been cultivated in the season 2015/16 in 5m2 plots in Germany at o=3 locations. Two locations were located in Baden-Wuerttemberg, namely Hohenheim (HOH) and Ihinger Hof (IHO), as well as at Gatersleben (GAL) in Saxony-Anhalt. The experimental design was an incomplete block design with one replication per location. The metabolite analyses of our study were based on the wheat flour samples collected for the 40 wheat varieties from all three locations. Each of the 120 samples was analyzed one time via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using an adapted protocol from Lisec et al. (2006). Metabolites were extracted from 45-55 mg dry flour samples with 750 μl of a 1:2.5:1 H2 O:methanol:chloroform (v:v:v) mixture pre-cooled to -20 ◦ C, then mixed on a rotator for 10 min and centrifuged at 20,000 g for 2 min (both at 4 ◦C). A total of 50 μl of the supernatant were dried completely in a vacuum concentrator and derivatized in two steps via an MPS-Dual-head autosampler (Gerstel): (1) with 10 μl methoxyamine hydrochloride (Acros organics; freshly prepared at 20 mg/ml in pure pyridine (Sigma-Aldrich)) and shaking ◦at 37 C for 90 min, (2) adding 90 μl N-Methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA; ◦Macherey-Nagel) and shaking at 37 C for 30 min. After incubation for 2 hours at room temperature, 1 μl of derivatized compounds was injected at a flow of 1 ml/min with an automatic liner exchange system in conjunction with a cold injection system (Gerstel) in ◦ ◦ ◦splitless mode (ramping from 50 C to 250 C at 12 C/s) into the GC. Chromatography was performed using a 7890B GC system (Agilent Technologies) with a 30 m long, 0.25 mm internal diameter, HP-5MS column with 5% phenyl methyl siloxane film (Agilent 19091S-433). The oven temperature was held constant at 70◦ C for 2 min and then ramped at 12.5◦C/min to 320◦ C at which it was held constant for 5 min; resulting in a total run time of 27 minutes.

title: The Associative Network Structure Characteristics and Link Prediction of Industrial Carbon Emission in China

description: By using Minimum Flow Analysis, this study combines the Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment and qualitative input-output approach method together to generate a cross-sector carbon emission network. From three aspects, including the overall network characteristics, node centrality, and block model, the associative network structure characteristic of China’s industrial carbon emission is analyzed with the social network analysis method. Based on the modeling idea of dynamic linking, the structural characteristic of the associative network of China’s industrial emission in 2017 has been predicted in this study. China’s input-output table is compiled every five years. The latest available data is from 2012. Therefore, the Chinese input-output tables of the four years of 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2012 are selected as the basic data. The input and output tables of the four years are all from the National Economic Accounting Department of the National Bureau of Statistics of China. The number of industries in 2002, 2007 and 2012 is 124, 122, 135, and 139 respectively. In addition, with reference to the carbon emission calculation methods and parameters published by the IPCC (2006) combined with the relevant parameters published by the Chinese government, this study estimated the direct carbon emissions volume of each industry. In order to ensure the accuracy of the estimation results, this study takes into account 16 kinds of fossil energy sources continuously reported in the statistical yearbook, including raw coal, clean coal, other coal washing, coke, other coking products, coke oven gas, other gas, crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil, other petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas, refinery dry gas and natural gas. The data of the total carbon emissions (million tons) of energy consumption in industry, the terminal fossil energy consumption in industry (million tons or tens of cubic meters, excluding the consumption of raw materials for product manufacturing) are from the corresponding yearly China Energy Statistical Yearbook; The data of the average low calorific value of the energy source (kJ/kg or kJ/m3) is from the China Energy Statistical Yearbook (2014). The carbon content of the energy fuel (kg/106 kJ), is from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. The data of energy carbon oxidation rate is from the Guidelines for the Compilation of China’s Provincial Greenhouse Gas Inventories. In addition, for the consistency of the input-output table and the industry classification in the China Energy Statistics Yearbook, referring to the China National Economic Industry Classification Standard (GB/T 4754-2011), this study divided the industries in each year to be analyzed into 30 sub-sectors.

title: Distinct nanoscale calcium channel and synaptic vesicle topographies contribute to the diversity of synaptic function

description: The nanoscale topographical arrangement of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) and synaptic vesicles (SVs) determines synaptic strength and plasticity, but whether distinct spatial distributions underpin diversity of synaptic function is unknown. We performed single bouton Ca2+ imaging, Ca2+ chelator competition, immunogold electron microscopic (EM) localization of VGCCs and the active zone (AZ) protein Munc13-1, at two cerebellar synapses. Unexpectedly, we found that weak synapses exhibited 3-fold more VGCCs than strong synapses, while the coupling distance was 5-fold longer. Reaction-diffusion modelling could explain both functional and structural data with two strikingly different nanotopographical motifs: strong synapses are composed of SVs that are tightly coupled (~10 nm) to VGCC clusters, whereas at weak synapses VGCCs were excluded from the vicinity (~50 nm) of docked vesicles. The distinct VGCC-SV topographical motifs also confer differential sensitivity to neuromodulation. Thus VGCC-SV arrangements are not canonical and their diversity could underlie functional heterogeneity across CNS synapses.
