Appreciation<br />
Dear Reader,<br />
I have been honored to serve as Dr.Banja Junhasavasdikul’s<br />
advisor during his Ph.D. studies at Rushmore University. Drawing<br />
on my very interesting work <strong>with</strong> him, I am delighted to have<br />
this opportunity to write a brief foreword for this volume that<br />
commemorates the opening of the Innovation Group of<br />
Companies’ new plant in Rayong, Thailand.<br />
Over my four decades of working <strong>with</strong> successful<br />
CEOs, I have often been struck by how little many such<br />
leaders understand about how to lead their organizations<br />
during times of change. Thus, new circumstances often<br />
become stumbling blocks that lead to major problems as<br />
inappropriate strategies and tactics are applied. Such is not<br />
the case for Dr. Junhasavasdikul.<br />
In this volume, Dr. Junhasavasdikul has included<br />
portions of papers written for his doctoral studies that<br />
provide timeless descriptions of the rubber industry,<br />
challenges and opportunities concerning globalization,<br />
how to conduct industrial marketing, developing an<br />
organization’s internal competencies, and applying<br />
nano<strong>technology</strong> to create a new generation of products. Each
