English to Thai: Driving Digital Strategy Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English Business Scope
In 1960, Theodore Levitt, a Harvard Business School professor, pub-
lished a provocative paper in
Harvard Business Review in which he
argued that companies were too focused on products and not enough on customer needs. To help managers address this problem, he asked, “What business are you really in?”1 More than five decades later this fundamental question has become even more important, as companies are moving from products to platforms and as industry boundaries are getting blurred. Yet even though the majority of firms are trying to become customer-centric, it is not uncommon to hear senior executives, be it from General Motors or Walmart, define their businesses, their industries, and their competition by the products they produce and sell. Yet even though the majority of firms are trying to become customer-centric, it is not uncommon to hear senior executives, be it from General Motors or Walmart, define their businesses, their industries, and their competition by the products they produce and sell.
Let’s look to Amazon to see the advantage of heeding Levitt’s advice.
What Business Is Amazon In?
When Amazon first launched its website, in July 1995, founder Jeff Bezos’s goal was to use the internet to sell books at low prices. He created a virtual store with lower fixed costs and a larger inventory than those of most brick-and-mortar bookstores. The concept quickly became popular, and Bezos realized that consumers shopping for other types of goods might also appreciate this concept. So he began adding dozens of categories to Amazon’s online assortment, including music, DVDs, electronics, toys, software, home goods, and many more. Amazon’s low prices and large selection, and the convenience online retailing provided consumers, posed a significant threat to traditional retailers like Best Buy, Toys “R” Us, and Walmart.
Five years later Amazon opened its site to third-party sellers, who could post their products on Amazon’s site for a modest service fee. This move was a win-win: third-party sellers increased Amazon’s assort- ment without Amazon having to stock extra inventory, and sellers got access to the ever-increasing pool of consumers who enjoyed shopping on Amazon’s site. Adding third-party sellers also transformed Amazon from an online retailer to an online platform, which required Amazon to develop new capabilities of acquiring, training, and managing sellers on its sites without losing control or damaging customer experience. And its competitive set expanded to include eBay, Craigslist, and others.
English to Thai: Travel - What Copenhagen can teach the world General field: Other Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English Copenhagen frequently tops rankings of the world’s happiest, most liveable and best-designed cities.
This is likely because the city strives for sustainability in nearly every aspect of policy and culture. While Denmark’s capital may not be perfect, its successes in a few key areas provide teaching points for metropolises around the world.
Work/life balance
Family is central to Danish life. According to BBC News, parents typically receive an entire year of maternity/paternity leave (which can be spread out over nine years), half fully paid and half up to 90% paid. In addition, government subsidies often cover 75% of pre-kindergarten childcare costs and the majority of education and healthcare. Culturally, BBC News adds, there is little pressure to work overtime, leaving people more time to spend with their families.
While all of this leads to much higher taxes (Denmark has the highest income tax in the world), Danes are willing to bear the cost since, studies show, they have a high degree of trust in their government.
Infrastructure
The importance of liveability in Danish culture is exemplified in the sustainable infrastructure of its capital city. Copenhagen is friendly to pedestrians, and perhaps even friendlier to cyclists. Nearly 480,000 people (40% of residents) commute by bike each day, causing some to call Copenhagen the number one cycling city in the world. The city’s bike-sharing program, Bycyklen København, provides bikes to locals and visitors for free, and Copenhagen has a network of about 350km of off-road bike paths, complete with traffic lights.
ภูมิปัญญาไทยจากบรรพบุรุษตั้งแต่สมัยกรุงศรีอยุธยาถูกถ่ายทอดสืบต่อกันมาจากรุ่นสู่รุ่น เพื่อสืบสานงานฝีมือที่มีคุณภาพ และเป็นอีกหนึ่งช่องทางสร้างรายได้ให้กับคนในชุมชน
The wisdom of Thai ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation since the Ayutthaya era in order to preserve this fine handicraft, and use it as another way for the community to earn a living.
Translation - English On this trip, Thai culture will take you to witness the conservation of Thai characteristics through the passing on of the craft of basketry of Baan Bang Chao Cha in the Pho Thong District.
The Basketry Village of Baan Bang Chao Cha in Pho Thong District, is where rattan and bamboo weavers gather in Ang Thong Province. The majority of Pho Thong locals are the ones who produced these renowned basketries of Ang Thong.
The baskets are woven using spiny bamboo and this makes the local handicrafts uniquely identifiable. The basketry here stands out for its exquisite and delicate detail.
A museum dedicated to bamboo crafts is located in the village, where a variety of locally made bamboo items have been collected and exhibited for tourists.
Not only have the bamboo basketries of Baan Bang Chao Cha been created to preserve a tradition for hand crafted items, but they are now also made to appeal to the tastes of today. The products incorporate designs and patterns that align to a more modern aesthetic that they are now exported. Therefore, the village has been recognized as the model village for skill development, and has received many awards to acknowledge their achievements.
And this is another unique cultural experience which Thai Culture recommends you experience by yourself.
