This report assesses the current ecosystem for tech-based startups
in Thailand, focusing on climate change, education, agriculture,
and health. It discusses the challenges facing tech startups and
provides recommendations to overcome them. Technology-based startup
enterprises are an increasingly important part of the business
landscape in Asia and the Pacific. By applying innovative
technologies to create new products and services, they can make a
significant contribution to economic development while generating
social and environmental benefits. However, to survive and then
thrive, tech startups require an enabling ecosystem that includes
supportive government policy, access to capital, skilled personnel,
quality digital infrastructure and other elements. It is the fourth
country report in the series ""Ecosystems for Technology Startups
in Asia and the Pacific.
For all that’s been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway.
Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions. How did the Four infiltrate our lives so completely that they’re almost impossible to avoid (or boycott)? Why does the stock market forgive them for sins that would destroy other firms? And as they race to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company, can anyone challenge them?
In the same irreverent style that has made him one of the world’s most celebrated business professors, Galloway deconstructs the strategies of the Four that lurk beneath their shiny veneers. He shows how they manipulate the fundamental emotional needs that have driven us since our ancestors lived in caves, at a speed and scope others can’t match. And he reveals how you can apply the lessons of their ascent to your own business or career.
Whether you want to compete with them, do business with them, or simply live in the world they dominate, you need to understand the Four.
Lately, tourists consider their mobile devices as essential
accessories for the realization of their trip before, during, and
after the visit. Such devices allow them to consult information
about points of interest, services, or products in real time. Thus,
mobile devices have come to be considered as tools to support
decision making regarding the realization of trips. In the digital
environment, tourists seek complementary information to consolidate
knowledge about the destination, heritage, culture, customs, and
traditions that make the visited place unique. Simultaneously, they
transform tourist experiences into a memory associated with travel,
contribute to the sustainability of local populations, reduce
inequalities, and cooperate to improve the quality of life of all
involved. ICT as Innovator Between Tourism and Culture differs from
others on the same areas because it aims to place the emphasis on
and increase the bridge of knowledge between information
communications technology (ICT), tourism, and culture, considering
ICT as the main driver that creates the development environment and
enhances the tourist experience in general. In particular, it is
linked to cultural heritage, making it a more sustainable and
intelligent tourist destination, taking into account the well-being
of the local population and visitors. Covering topics such as
destination image, religious tourism, and innovation dynamics, this
book is an essential resource for IT consultants, hotel managers,
marketers, travel agencies, tour operators, tourism researchers,
professors, students, practitioners within the tourism industry,
and academicians.
This book explores the development of technology hotspots and the
difficult problems encountered in easy-to-understand language and
introduces the startups in the related fields.It also shows how
these key technologies solve the pain points of the industry, the
background of the founding teams and the choice of business models
through real-life cases. This book can be used as a quick reference
manual, allowing you to spend the shortest time to understand the
hot topics in the global technology circle in the two years since
the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic. Through the business
cooperation with the Chinese tech community over the years and the
close ties with technology companies from other countries, the
author introduced: China's science and technology ecology, China's
tech advantages, Made in China 2025, The top 10 tech advances in
China in 2021. In addition, this book will introduce the latest
advances and startups in China in related technological fields, so
readers can have a more comprehensive understanding of China's tech
development priorities in the next 5 to 10 years. The relevant
topics in this book are also provided with video versions.
Designed for graduate, advanced undergraduate, and practitioner
project management courses with an information technology focus,
Methods of IT Project Management is designed around the Project
Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), incorporating material from
the latest seventh edition while still maintaining the book's
process approach. The text provides students with all the concepts,
techniques, artifacts, and methods found in the leading project
management reference books and modern development methodologies
(agile, hybrid, and traditional), while also conveying practical
knowledge that can immediately be applied in real-world settings.
Unlike other books in this area, the material is organized
according to the sequence of a generic project life cycle-from
project selection to initiation, planning, execution, control, and
iteration or project closeout. Following this life-cycle approach,
as opposed to covering the material by knowledge area or project
performance domain, allows new learners to simultaneously study
project management concepts and methods as they develop skills they
can use immediately during and upon completion of the course. The
text's structure also allows different programs to use the book
during real-world student projects.
