ItemThe transformational leaders' dimensions and newcomers' organizational socialization process(Assumption University, 2006)Newcomers' organization assimilation or socialization is a transition process whereby an outsider becomes an insider of an organization. This process involves a lot of change. Four dimensions of transformational leader were suggested to facilitate this change process. The Big Five Model of personality provides insights of the differences on the newcomers part. The relationship between the four dimensions of transformational leaders and five newcomers 'personality traits were delineated. Examination of previous literature revealed that transformational leaders gain trust and respect via the first two dimensions, namely charisma and inspiration. Individualized attention should be given high priority for those with neuroticism and extraversion traits. Intellectual stimulation should be given high priority for those with openness to new experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness traits.

ItemThe different amenities provided in apartments and serviced apartmants(Assumption University, 2006)Serviced residences by way of apartments and serviced apartments have proliferated around the world including Thailand for the past decades. Although both businesses have been a major attraction for real estate investors, there is still a lack of clarity in terms of the different amenities and services provided. Data was collected from 271 apartments in the central business district of Bangkok from eight districts that were grouped into three zones. Seven types of amenities were ranked the highest in all three sets of data. The findings imply that rents are more likely to be based on amenities provided rather than unit size. This research reconfirms that rent is driven by amenities provided.

ItemInternational business adaptation : a study on Thai exporters(Assumption University, 2006)This study uses multiple regression analysis to examine credibility and benevolence of manufacturers as determinants of industrial buyers commitment which, in turn, leads to this party s business adaptation in an international relationship. Results based on a sample of one hundred Thai industrial exporters reveal positive relationships between hypothesized variables i.e. benevolence, credibility and commitment, commitment and business adaptation.

ItemAn application of rank transformation : merger target predictions(Assumption University, 2006)This study attempts to predict merger targets among banks, and also investigates the predictive power rank transformation adds to the prediction models. Rank transformation has been suggested as a robust and powerful tool for financial problems. Multiple· discriminant analysis (MDA) and logistic regression have been applied to selected ranked and unranked financial ratios. Then, the classification results of MDA and logistic regression on both ranked and unranked data sets are compared. The results have indicated that rank transformation does improve the predictive power of MDA and logistic regression.
