Abstract: |
This research
implies clustering into three clusters for five industries by means of
k-Means clustering method. Agro-processing, textiles and clothing,
petrochemicals and chemicals, electronics and telecommunications equipment
and automotive and parts are selected for this study as they are main target
promoting industries for Thailand. There were 23,628 firms in this study.
From this study, we can identify different patterns of demanded resources in
three different groups. One cluster required low level of resourced demands
for all variables while the other two clusters required capital and manpower
interchangeable between high and medium level. Only the electronics and
telecommunications equipment sector showed high to medium demand for all
variables. After all firms were divided into three clusters, we were able to
define cluster regions by provinces, for particular types of clusters in
order to evaluate the potential of each region and also define supporting
policy for those firms to meet their demands following the regional economic
development strategy. |
