The ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025 highlights five key components for regional development including Sustainable Infrastructure, Digital Technology and Innovation, Seamless Logistics, Regulatory Superiority, and Workforce Mobility. To effectively execute this strategy and boost the impact of the ASEAN Economic Community, it is imperative for Thailand and other member nations to prioritize the development of digital technology and foster innovation. The Thai government and responsible units have initiated policies and programs to boost the capabilities of public and private enterprises during the remedy period of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Digital technology is pivotal in achieving national strategies, and innovation is increasingly reliant on it, influencing technology adoption across industries. The level of innovation can reflect the level of technology adoption in each sector. The study compares Thailand with other ASEAN economies based on the development of national income, digital technology, and innovation using seven key indicators of the Global Innovation Index. These essential factors are used to determine national and economic development. The study aims to provide practical insights, address challenges, and offer specific recommendations for real‐world decision‐making and policy formulation, focusing on economic growth, increased innovation, and reduced income disparities. It suggests that Thailand can enhance its attractiveness by prioritizing national strategies, forming partnerships within the country, and building strong relationships with other ASEAN members to maintain competitiveness. The strengths and weaknesses of each ASEAN member are identified for targeted actions to drive the success of the ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025.

“…Innovation has significant value for individuals, organizations, and a nation's competiveness. Creativity and innovation have been investigated in studies of education systems (Unger & Polt, 2017), government (Gebeyehu & Twinomurinzi, 2021), and business (Kim, 2009). Innovation is particularly relevant to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professionals and ICT students in developing nations (Kyobe et al, 2017; Wongwuttiwat & Lawanna, 2018; World Economic Forum, 2019).…”

Creativity and innovation related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) leads to improved competitiveness among individuals, organizations, and nations. In the context of the cultural profile of the developing nation of Thailand, this exploratory study examines the practical problem of improving creativity among ICT professionals and students. The study compares the importance of creativity perceived by ICT lecturers and managers and the extent to which ICT students and officers believe that they display creativity. The purpose is to align perceptions about creativity among these groups in order to promote creativity in ICT. Creativity is characterized by traits derived from studies in neuroscience and this study contributes to the validation of this relatively new approach. Data is collected by questionnaire from: 182 students distributed across the 4 years of ICT bachelor degree programs in three universities in Bangkok and 126 lecturers in these programs; 190 ICT managers and 210 ICT officers from 60 organizations in Bangkok. The findings identify: differences (gaps) among the groups' perceptions of creativity; and possible influences due to cultural characteristics of Thai society. The number of gaps is greatest between lecturers and managers followed by lecturers and students and managers and officers. The gaps are noticeable between males and females but less evident in relation to levels of education and ICT experience. The findings provide practical insights relevant to ICT academics, educators, practicing ICT professionals, and those concerned with the relationships among creativity, innovation, and competitiveness at organizational or national levels, especially in developing nations.

Food waste has increased significantly and become a global issue amidst a growing concern regarding famine in several countries. Food sharing constitutes the solution to the problem provided an appropriate framework is developed that guides its application. The sharing economy was touted as the appropriate framework, yet it is excessively macroscopic to be able to capture the dynamics of food sharing activities. A microscopic framework is required to overcome this problem, the concept of collaborative consumption with its focus on activity level being one potential solution. However, an investigation into how food sharing activities can be viewed as collaborative consumption should be completed. This paper presents an analysis of the relationship between food sharing activities and collaborative consumption. The authors employed a systematic literature review conducted by meta-analysis and content analysis to identify the commonalities between the two and the theories underlying them. The result is a conceptual framework of food sharing activities as a collaborative consumption practice. The framework highlights eight propositions that can explain the intention, performance, and continuity of food sharing activities. At the end of the paper, the authors outline the theoretical and managerial contributions and recommend future research activities.
