Consequently, providing a warning before a company fails should be an effective method to help the survival of SMEs. There are many models that are used as early warning tools, and each model performs differently. Therefore, the primary aim of this article was to compare the principles of financial distress prediction models. The methods studied consisted of: Logit, Probit, Multivariate Discriminant Analysis (MDA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models. In addition, the strengths and weaknesses including the nature of prediction of each method were summarized. The forecasting efficiency of these methods was compared by reference to relevant research studies. It was found that the Logit and Probit models are flexible in application and they are also easy to understand and explain. For more complex research studies, which require more complex techniques to identify several multivariate groups, the appropriate tool is MDA. For even more complicated research requiring more sophisticated techniques or nonlinear equations, ANN modeling is the most effective tool. The variables contributing the highest opportunity to identify financial distress were also identified. |
หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Thai Tourism and Economic Development: The Current State of Research) ผู้เขียน:Surachai Chancharat สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractThis paper reviews previous studies relating to tourism development and economic growth. The researchers argue that tourism development not only stimulates the growth of the industry, but also triggers overall economic growth. As a result, most developing countries use promotion of the tourism industry as an important economic development strategy to enhance economic growth. Therefore, a number of previous studies have focused on examining the relationships between tourism development and economic growth in various countries. Thailand is one of the leading tourist destinations in Southeast Asia since it embraces rich cultures and traditions, a tropical climate and famous hospitality. Despite the great importance of the Thai tourism industry to the Thai economy, since it accounts for millions of jobs and a substantial fraction of export earnings and a wide range of other industries, there has been no previous study exploring the effect of the tourism sector on economic expansion in the Thai context. |
