CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Report Overview

This study is a contemporary topic in applied marketing that includes three main

objectives as follows; firstly, to understand the business model of Kiosk Top-Up

machine in Thailand. Secondly, explore customer’s behaviors on the factors on using

Kiosk. Lastly, to determine factors that influence and lead to customers’ usage of Kiosk.

According to dictionary website, “Kiosk” means “a small structure having one

or more sides open, used as a newsstand, refreshment stand, bandstand, etc.” (2018) . In

this report “Kiosk” will be used to represent a self-service machine that providing

payment service mainly for mobile fees and including utility and other fees. Aside from

standard platform of mobile top-up, Kiosk providers are providing additional

application as well. There are 3 main types of Kiosk which are 1 . Telecommunication

brand 2. Telecommunication brand and other services and 3. Third Party Kiosk.

Figure 1.1: Different Kiosk in Thailand

Based on information given by the Royal Thai Embassy, Washington D.C.

(2017), Thailand 4.0 will focus on “Competitive Advantage” strategy into “5 Groups

of Technology and Targeted Industries”. And, Kiosk machine falls into group four

named “Digital, Internet of Things (loT), Artificial Intelligence and Embedded

Technology”. According to the article from Thansettakit (2017), the market size of

kiosk top-up machine in Thailand is huge and valued about 21 billion baht.

Ref. code: 25605902040889BCL

There will be 3 key variables in this study 1) Customer characteristics such as

demographic and geographic. 2) Consumer behaviors including frequency and payment

range. 3) Psychographic such as lifestyle and preferences. As a result, this study will

provide more information on customers profile and the factors that influence them to

use the Kiosk.

1.2 Research Objectives

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 Situation of Thailand 4.0

According to Thai BBC, Thai Government announced that, Thailand will shift

from Thailand 3.0 model; focusing on heave industrial manufacturing to Thailand 4.0

model; innovation and value based industry since 2017 (Bunchanonth, 2017). This

policy didn’t affect only to the huge corporates, but also to individual Thais as well.

Starting from the behavior changes of Thais that more familiar to proceed their payment

through various online method such bank transfer via bank website, bank’s mobile

application, Prompt pay ( Free transfer to every bank within amount of THB 5,000)

and Scan and Pay by QR code. According to the Digital Consumer in Thailand in

Euromonitor International (2017), digital or online payment had been wildly accepted.

It can be shown on the adaptation of online payment that each companies. This will be

an opportunity for the vending machine as people get more familiar with a machine.

Figure 2.1: Thailand 4.0 (Languepin, 2017)

Page 15: Influence of Thailand 4.0 towards the design of future

According to information given by the Royal Thai Embassy, Washington D.C.

(2017), Thailand 4.0 will focus on “Competitive Advantage” strategy into “5 Groups

of Technology and Targeted Industries”. And, Kiosk machine falls into group four

named “Digital, Internet of Things (loT), Artificial Intelligence and Embedded

Technology”. From this fact, Thailand will get closer to “cashless society” concept that

Thais will use less cash and will use Electronic money instead. This will bring Near-

field communication (NFC technology) to support the electronic transaction.

According to “Information Kiosk for Use in Electronic Commerce: Factors

Affecting its Ease of Use and Usefulness”, it shows that customers concern on easy to

use, security, and reliability of the machine (Tung, 2001). With these fundamental

information, we can use them to develop further details and questionnaires. There are

also study on similar topic of Kiosk Top-Up machine in for South Sudan mentioning

the readiness of the convenient corner shop (2013). This study shows that this business

model is not limited to use in Asia or USA, but can be used in Africa as well. That

people now are more open on the technology. On the other hand, Kiosk providers

should not only develop their software, but should also focus on marketing to increase

customer awareness on the security and reliability of the Kiosks.

2.2 Free Fees Bank Policy

According to Longtun Man, investment website, the announcement of no fees

for transferring to different bank brand has been announce on since 2 6 March 2 0 1 8

from 4 major banks in Thailand including Kasikorn Bank, Siam Commercial Bank,

Krung Thai Bank and Thai Military Bank (2 0 1 8 ) . This phenomenon has encourage

their customers to use bank service instead of using other method such as third party

Kiosk and Counter service. Before the announcement on 2 8 March 2 0 1 8 , when

customers transferring money across banks or paying for other service through bank,

they need to pay service free starting from THB 5 up to THB 35 (Moneyhub, 2018).

Thus, in order to avoid this, customers use Kiosk to pay for their mobile fees due to

lower . According from the article in the investment website) Longtun Man (2 0 1 7 ) ,

Boonterm, one of the leading Kiosk Company got profits more than 4 2 0 million Thai

baht in 2016. With this, these major banks foreseen the opportunity to bring back their

Ref. code: 25605902040889BCL

Page 16: Influence of Thailand 4.0 towards the design of future

5

customer to use their service directly. Even though they didn’t charge for the service

fees, these bank still get commission fees from the telecommunication companies. With

this strategy, it will directly affect to the usage of Kiosk in the future.

2.3 Kiosk Industry in Thailand

According to the article from Thansettakit (2017), the market size of kiosk top-

up machine in Thailand is huge and valued about 2 1 billion baht and the number of

profit has been increasing rapidly in each year. It can be interpreted that the acceptance

of Thais toward kiosk usage has been wildly accepted and the number of Kiosk has

been spread out to serve the need nation-wide. Nevertheless, with the announcement of

Free Fees from Thai banks, it directly affect to Boonterm situation immediately.

Manager News Online has been reported the price of the company stock named

FSMART has been decreased for 7.69% (2018). This can be interpreted that without

any further changes or development of the Kiosk, this industry might in the risky

position.

In summary, there are various data related to the kiosk and the value of the

market in terms of the whole industry and in the aspect of supply side such as

telecommunication companies, service providers and shop owners. With all of these

information, there are 3 main ideas from the literature reviews as follows;

1. Overall Kiosk top-up machine industry in Thailand

2. Adaptation of Kiosk toward Thailand 4.0 policy

3. Additional application and interface that can enhance usage of Kiosk top-up

machine

With all of these data and understanding toward the kiosk top-up machine, this

information can be used in terms of developing the questionnaires for the demand’s

side. As a result, this study will show the factors that lead to more usage of the machine

and how the companies can encourage customers to use accordingly.

4.1.2 In-depth interview

4.1.2.1 Industrial expert

Originally, Kiosk Top-Up machine has been designed for each

individual telecommunication service provider to the customers or end users (Top-Up

Kiosk,2016). However, when the time passed by, the new option has been added in to

the Kiosk in order to serve customers need. After a personal interview with expert

1) Telecommunication brand

2) Telecommunication brand with other services

3) Third Party Kiosk.

Figure 4.1: Model 1. Telecommunication brand

This type of Kiosk is the first model that has been introduced to market that

each customer of each telecommunication brand can pay only for their mobile fees

under its own brand.

Light Users, as shown in table 4, 59.6% of the populations are female

and 40.4% are male. For the age, the majority lies in 21-30 years old for 63.5% and

following by 31-40 years old at 21.2%. The educational level covers from below high

school to Doctoral Degree, but the top three percentages are Bachelor’s Degree at

73.1%, Master Degree at 21.8% and High school at 3.2%. Moreover, 47.4% of the

populations of this segment’s salary rages lie between THB 30,001- 45,000 at 47.4%

and following by THB 15,001-30,000 at 28.2%, below THB 15,000 at 9.6%, more than

THB 60,000 at 7.7% and THB 45,001-60,000 at 7.1%. For their life style, they are more

likely to study and working at the same time whom prefer to stay at home instead of

going to the department store in their free time. They are interesting in new technology

and like to do online shopping. For their online payment, as it shown in the table 6,

most of them agree that they have transferred money through mobile banking. They

agree that they will use less Kiosk because of the mobile banking service that will

eventually lead to less usage of Kiosk as they will use less Kiosk because they can pay

through different channel.

Heavy Users, as shown in table 4, 88.9% of the populations are female

and 11% are male. For the age, the majority lies in 21-30 years old for 66.7% and

following by below than 20 years old, 31-40 Years old and more than 50 years old at

the equal share at 11.1%. The educational level covers only 2 levels, which are Bachelor

degree at 88.9% and high school at 11.1. Moreover, 47.4% of the populations of this

segment’s salary rages lie between THB 30,001- 45,000 at 72.2% and following by

THB 15,001-30,000 at 16.7% and below THB 15,000 at 11.1%. For their life style, they

are not likely to study and working at the same time whom prefer to go to the

department store when they have free time instead of staying at home. They are

interesting in new technology and like to do online shopping. For their online payment,

as it shown in the table 5, less than half of the population in this segment transferred

money through online banking, which they do not agree that they will use less Kiosk

because they use mobile banking for paying fees. They agreed that they will use less

service from Kiosk as they can pay through different channel.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Summary

This research “Influence of Thailand 4.0 towards the Design of Future Kiosk

Top-up Machine”, the objective is to understand the Kiosk industry in Thailand, learn

customers’ behaviours and find the factors that can lead customers to use more Kiosk.

Overall answer to the objectives. After studied, result shows that current satisfaction

level toward Kiosk is above the mean. However in language availability is still need

further development. For the importance attribute for the future Kiosk design both

segments least concern on “Design of the Kiosk”. However, they weight on “Low

failure rate” and “More technology enhancement and support”. Thus, it can be

summarized that user mainly concern on functionality of the Kiosk.

After collected data, the research has been shown that the segments can be

classified based by frequency based. This study can clarified the type of respondents

into 2 segments which are Light User and Heavy User based of their behaviour toward

using on Kiosk Machine. These two group have huge gab in terms of population as

Light user consist of 156 respondents while Heavy user consist of 18 respondents.

Nevertheless, majority of respondents are female. The respondents are mainly in the

age range between 21-30 years old, living in Bangkok Metropolitan area having

Bachelor degree whom working as employee and get salary in the rage of have THB

30,000-45,000 per month. These information can be used in order to develop the most

suitable promotional campaign and promotion.

5.2 Conclusions and Recommendations

Regarding to the recommendation for the Kiosk producer, the company should

be more focus on the functional of the kiosk in order to encourage customers to use

more. Mostly will be the development on the software in order to create friendly to user

interface that proving more languages. For the design, it can be a minority change or

leave it for the next phrase. On the other hand, for all three models of Kiosk, they should

Ref. code: 25605902040889BCL

Page 35: Influence of Thailand 4.0 towards the design of future

24

focus on the functional as soon as possible. Aside from that, they company should pay

attention in promoting their Kiosk on their strong attribute such as variety of services,

friendly to users and fast speed for paying bills. The company should

go for value added strategy because banking just turned itself to be Kiosk direct

competitor after announcing the “free fees campaign”.

Further recommendation regarding to the new generation of Kiosk machine is

the functions. With the marketing intelligent system including trends, tradeshows,

feedback from expertise and clients, the Kiosk should add more functional feature such

as combining with vending machine, Coffee machines or other physical kiosk that

already existing in the market. This could be a join venture program, so each party can

provide can share their strengths and providing the better version of Kiosk machine.

5.3 Limitations

All of the research has problems or limitations, in “Influence of Thailand 4.0

towards the Design of Future Kiosk Top-up Machine”, there are a total of 5 limitations

with details as follows;

5.3.1 Sample Size

In the beginning, the number of respondent should be more than 200

respondents. However, the total number of questionnaires respondents reached 174

people. This lead to the less details. During running the data, some data were not

significantly classifiable. If the study contain more sample size, the data should be more

reliable.

Ref. code: 25605902040889BCL

Page 36: Influence of Thailand 4.0 towards the design of future

25

5.3.2 In-depth Interview

In this research, the opinion of the shop’s owner could provide in-depth

details from the demand side of the Kiosk. However, it’s not difficult to ask for

interview as most of them had to sell goods in their shop and seeing interview as a

burden of making money. Furthermore, some owner postponed the interview for 3

times, it leads to difficulties to collect data.

For the interview with expert, there were some limitation of details that he

couldn’t share to us. It would be better to be able to contact another industry expert in

order to see wider vision and ideas.

5.3.3 Time constrain

The total time for this research is around 5 month. Even though the plan

and timeline has been prepared, there were, still, uncontrollable factors that lead to the

delay. If this research provide more time, there will be more opportunity to collect data

more in order to receive a nation-wide feedback as from the current details, the

population from Bangkok Metropolitan is account more than half of total respondents.

5.3.4 Announcement of Bank Free Fees

On 28 March 2018, the news of top 3 banks of Thailand will stop charge

for fees had been posted in every social media and became a talk of the town topic for

a couple of days. This news has been announce after the data had been collected from

respondents and the time contain leads to limitation of changing the questionnaires. If

the announcement occurred during creating the question list, the answer should be more

accurate.

5.3.5 Cluster Analysis

In the beginning, Cluster Analysis has been used in order to classify the

respondent’s segmentation. After running the data, it results in the not significantly

different due to the diversification of the respondents were too limited to create a

significantly different groups. Since the segment of the user are unclear to identify from

this analysis, “Frequency analysis” has been used in segmenting the respondents

instead.
