webfact Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 PM suggests cabinet members read ‘Blue Ocean Shift’ Government’s spokesperson, Dr. Narumon Pinyosinwat, said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha suggested members of his cabinet and their spouses, who participated in the “Spirit of Volunteering” activities at Priest Hospital, should read W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne’s ‘Blue Ocean Shift: Beyond Competing (Proven Steps to Inspire Confidence and Seize New Growth)’, so that they can apply its insights to national administration. The PM was said to have recommended the book so that cabinet members would learn ‘how to win without having to compete’ and move on from the competitive ‘red ocean’ to a new and larger ‘blue ocean’. The blue ocean shift, as defined by the authors, is a system to change fierce business competition in heavily competitive markets – red oceans – into more open ‘blue oceans,’ or new markets exempt from competition.

DrTuner Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thais moving into anything new.. yeah right. Just check how the roadsides are arranged, it's always near identical shops in a cluster, they just copy everything from the next guy. And then they all suffer because they saturated the supply.

KhunKenAP Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 As with most Thai's reading English is not a problem. Problem is spoken English. How can they learn to speak English from teachers that can't speak it. In my 20 years in Thailand, I have never had a problem if a wrote something down in English, if I said something in English it was a best 50-50.

You are correct. if study English a lot easy to read, more easy than listen. Because when read, you read at your speed, when listen you must listen at the speaker speed. But it I sure Prayut can not read English book. I sure he not read this book. He claim it before he read two English book in one night. Impossible He lie, sure.
