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.
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.
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.
A groundbreaking rhetorical framework for the study of
transnational digital activismWhat does it mean when we call a
movement "global"? How can we engage with digital activism without
being "slacktivists"? In Activist Literacies, Jennifer Nish
responds to these questions and a larger problem in contemporary
public discourse: many discussions and analyses of digital and
transnational activism rely on inaccurate language and inadequate
frameworks. Drawing on transnational feminist theory and rhetorical
analysis, Nish formulates a robust set of tools for nuanced
engagement with activist rhetorics. Nish applies her literacies of
positionality, orientation, and circulation to case studies that
highlight grassroots activism, well-resourced nonprofits, and a
decentralized social media challenge; in so doing, she illustrates
the complex power dynamics at work in each scenario and
demonstrates how activist literacies can be used to understand and
engage with efforts to contribute to social change. Written in an
accessible, engaging style, Activist Literacies invites scholars,
students, and activists to read activist rhetoric that engages with
"global" concerns and circulates transnationally via social media.
