How to Show Your Customers a Little Extra Love
I deal often with early-stage startups, and many of these don’t have any customers yet (but wish they did), so it’s not surprising they still don’t think of customers as their friends. More disturbingly, others do have customers, but the customer service program consists of an informal focus on “problems,” rather than a proactive effort to establish a positive relationship with friends. The right time to put a formal customer service program in place, with measurements, is before the first sale of your product or service to a customer. You can’t manage what you don’t measure, and customer satisfaction these days is one the most critical success factors to every business.

Why Thai Firms Should Care About the Career Stage of China’s Officials
In Chinese bureaucracy, large-scale leadership turnover happens every five years, right on the heels of the Party’s National Congress: think of it as a window of opportunity for promotions, but with a few constraints

Governments typically set a wide range of goals. This is reasonable and expected: For a society to grow sustainably, social stability-related targets are just as critical as economic ones.

Marijuana could generate up to Bt8 billion for Thailand’s pharmaceutical industry
Last year, Thailand removed cannabis and hemp leaves from its list of banned narcotics (seeds and buds remain banned).

Marijuana could generate up to Bt8 billion for Thailand’s pharmaceutical industry over the next five years, but farmers stand to make little from growing the herb, experts say.
