Patterns of organizational and technological development in the Thai manufacturing industry

Article Abstract:

There is evidence to suggest that a technology gap exists in the manufacturing industry in Thailand. According to the results of a study on the patterns of organizational and technological development in the Thai manufacturing sector, a large number of manufacturers in Thailand have no advanced manufacturing technology in place. In addition, there are some contradictions in the current preferred status of manufacturing firms and the general pattern that they are following. Thai manufacturers are advised to increase their adoption of advanced manufacturing technology and maximize its benefits to close the technology gap.

A methodology for formulating a business strategy in manufacturing firms

Article Abstract:

A procedure for developing a business strategy in small- and medium-sized manufacturing firms is presented. The methodology identifies the owner's objectives, beliefs and challenges and defines Strategy Business Units (SBUs) as pairs of products-markets to generate a customer-oriented analysis. The environment in which the company operates as well as every area of the company are also analyzed, paving the way for an identification of the strategic problems of the company. A basic strategy is then defined, from which operational strategies are derived. Performance indicators are used to monitor the company's performance.
