Associate Professor Endo Tamaki. The session was about a 2015 documentary film; name " the true cost movie " www.truecostmovie.com, directed by Andrew Morgan. Before I saw this movie, I`ve never questioned or even wondered about clothing I`m wearing every single day, I always thought that they are just the clothes, one of the basic necessary things in my daily life. However, the stories from the movie helped open up my eyes and deepen down my minds to realize the origin and the route of the cloth. The story starts from identifying the changing pattern of consumption of the consumers in this industry. Even we don't exactly know where is the driving force underlying this changing, we all have known that we lived in an era of " the fast fashion " ; an era which the clothing and fashion is very fascinating designed, very seasonable and very cheap. We can buy, wear, get satisfied and thrown them away without considering so much due to their cheap prices and low recognized values. The beautiful models on the catwalk, the elegant celebrity at the fashionable events on the red carpet from media urged our thirstiness to owe ones and raised our incentive to consume those beautiful clothing and elegant fashion. But, have we ever realized to what extent the fast fashion industry leave the bad legacy in the world, on the planet and to the environment? Do we have any ideas about their true cost of the industry had an impact on the nature, the environment, the surrounding community as well as the well-being of the citizens in the developing world?

That`s why I `d love to share. Thank you so much Professor Uri Alon for this helpful article : Choosing good problems is essential for being a good scientist. But what is a good problem, and how does a scientist choose one? The subject is not usually discussed explicitly within our profession. Scientists are expected to be smart enough to figure it out on their own and through the observation of their teachers. This lack of explicit discussion leaves a vacuum that can lead to approaches such as choosing problems that can give results that merit publication in valued journals, resulting in a job and tenure.

Although the contribution of telecom services to Thailand's national GDP is small, the growth rate has been substantially increasing. The mobile segment has exhibited the strongest growth, followed by the Internet segment and the broadband segment. This paper aims to clarify the organization of Thailand's telecommunications industry and to describe the value creation opportunities and inter-corporate relationships among all industrial players by utilizing fieldwork interviews, case-study methods, and also secondary data from NBTC survey reports. The main findings are summarized as follows. First, the Thai telecommunications industry operates within the context of pyramid-shaped industrial organization and hierarchical governance structure. This hierarchical structure reveals that each tier's players perform specific tasks and create particular values according to their functional specialization. The players in the Thai telecom industry can be divided into seven tiers including (1) the regulator-tier (NBTC), (2) the principle-tier telecom operators (AIS, DTAC, and True Move), (3) the vendor-tier multinational corporations (MNCs), (4) the first-tier main contractor companies, (5) the second-tier subcontracting companies, (6) the third-tier subcontracting teams, and (7) the supplier-tier. Second, the economic value of tasks reflects the underlying competences and capabilities that are the

This helps me to contextualize the link I have to them. If we had a meal together, I jot down who else was at the meal. I give this all to my secretary and she types it up, entering it into my contacts list. " Of course the system gets more elaborate for people I interact with regularly. Eventually as I get to know them, I might add to the contacts list the name of their spouse, their children, their hobbies, things we did together with places and dates, maybe their birthday. Case 1: David Gold, regional medical product specialist for Pfizer, uses a related technique. Suppose I met Dr.Ware in 2008. I write down what we talked about in a note app on my phone and e-mail it to myself. Then if I see him again in 2013, I can say remember we were talking about " naltrexone " or such-and-such. " This not only provides context to interactions, but continuity. It grounds and organizes the minds of both parties, and so, too the interaction. Case 2: Craig Kallman is the chairman and CEO of Atlantic Records in New York – his career depends on being able to stay in touch with an enormous number of people: agents, managers, retailers, producers, employees, business colleagues, radio station managers, and of course the many musicians on his label. Kallman has an electronic contacts list of 14,000 people. Parts of the file includes when they last spoke and how they are connected to other people in his database. The great advantage that the computer brings to a database of this size is that you can search along several different parameters. A year from now, Kallman might remember only one or two things about a person he just met, but he can search the contacts list and find the right entry. We organize our friendships around a variety if motivations and needs. These can be for historical reasons (we easily in touch with old friends from school and we like the sense of continuity to earlier parts of our lives), mutual admiration, shared goals, physical attractiveness, complementary characteristics, social climbing .. Ideally, friends are people with whom we can be our true selves, with whom we can fearlessly let our guard down.

In this article I propose the classification of the evolutionary stages that a scientific discipline evolves through and the type of scientists that are the most productive at each stage. I believe that each scientific discipline evolves sequentially through four stages. Scientists at stage one introduce new objects and phenomena as subject matter for a new scientific discipline. To do this they have to introduce a new language adequately describing the subject matter. At stage two, scientists develop a toolbox of methods and techniques for the new discipline. Owing to this advancement in methodology, the spectrum of objects and phenomena that fall into the realm of the new science are further understood at this stage. Most of the specific knowledge is generated at the third stage, at which the highest number of original research publications is generated. The majority of third-stage investigation is based on the initial application of new research methods to objects and/or phenomena. The purpose of the fourth stage is to maintain and pass on scientific knowledge generated during the first three stages. Groundbreaking new discoveries are not made at this stage. However, new ways to present scientific information are generated, and crucial revisions are often made of the role of the discipline within the constantly evolving scientific environment. The very nature of each stage determines the optimal psychological type and modus operandi of the scientist operating within it. Thus, it is not only the talent and devotion of scientists that determines whether they are capable of contributing substantially but, rather, whether they have the 'right type' of talent for the chosen scientific discipline at that time. Understanding the four different evolutionary stages of a scientific discipline might be instrumental for many scientists in optimizing their career path, in addition to being useful in assembling scientific teams, precluding conflicts and maximizing productivity. The proposed model of scientific evolution might also be instrumental for society in organizing and managing the scientific process. No public policy aimed at stimulating the scientific process can be equally beneficial for all four stages. Attempts to apply the same criteria to scientists working on scientific disciplines at different stages of their scientific evolution would be stimulating for one and detrimental for another. In addition, researchers operating at a certain stage of scientific evolution might not possess the mind-set adequate to evaluate and stimulate a discipline that is at a different evolutionary stage. This could be the reason for suboptimal implementation of otherwise well-conceived scientific policies. Four by four In this article I propose a simplified model of the evolution of the scientific process, together with the classification of the nature of the scientists making the biggest contribution at each evolutionary stage. I believe this analysis could be instrumental for individual researchers in their career planning and for a constructive dialog between the scientific community and science policy makers. It is my view that the history of different scientific disciplines reveals that they evolve through four important stages with an evolutionary time frame that can be as short as a lifespan or as long as centuries. Wars, political repressions , cultural superstitions, power struggles within the scientific community in addition to funding policies and pledged rewards can facilitate, slow down or discontinue progression of a given scientific discipline through its natural course. However, scientific disciplines continue to follow the same course of four evolutionary stages despite all these temporary deviations. Thus, philanthropists or dictators and the wisdom or ignorance of policy-makers can change the time frame that the evolution of a scientific field will take but can't change the order of the evolutionary stages. If we compare the work style, focus points and limitations of scientists that have contributed the most in the different research fields at each of their evolutionary stages, we can see that the evolutionary stage of science unites and/or differentiates researchers more than century , language, socioeconomic status and even the scientific field itself. The methodology presented here complements previously existing theories of the scientific process including the theory of scientific (r)evolution proposed by Thomas Kuhn in his famous book [1] (Box 1).

This industry is an important foundation of digital economy and information society, yet it faces challenges in terms of the labour market issues, especially the shortage of ICT personnel. The companies in this industries have to compete both for business and talents. This study aims to clarify the characteristic of industrial organization, and human resource management of the Thai telecoms industry.
The industrial organization of the Thai telecommunications industry embedded with pyramid-shaped hierarchical governance; wherein each tier actor performs specific tasks and creates particular values. To deliver such values, they have to build core competence and capability as their foundational strength. All embrace the business strategy on choose and focus on the core (gravity to the core tasks), leverage (by subcontracting the non-core tasks) and manage long term relationship which based on trust and transparency. Even though each tier actor has set similar strategy on operational excellency, each area of focus is different according to kinds of technology.
The mechanism of internal labour market is increasingly important as countermeasure to the shortage of ICT personnel in the external ICT labour market. The case studies companies adopted the three practices of HRM to respond to the shortage challenges including (1) review recruitment practices, (2) broaden typical pools of talents and (3) extend training strategies which more focus on OJT.

The intrinsic motivation comes from the mismatch between education and employment side in the Thai labour market, esp ICT. The graduates are under-employed and take 6-12 months to find the suitable job. At the same time, the companies spend 7.4 weeks to fill the vacancies at the professional level and most blame the lag of adjustment of educational institute. The reason that I choose telecommunications industry is that this industry shows high potential growth and is an important foundation of digital economy and information society. So, I would like to find whether there is a problem of mismatch, or a shortage of ICT personnel. And what are the countermeasure which the companies in this industry have used to solve the problems.
