Abstract
This paper begins by defining organization structure and organizational development theory. It then explains the importance of such changes in today's markets and how organizations need to be more flexible than in the past. It further examines types of structures and horizontal specialization and how these apply to Thai society. It briefly provides an overview of classic Thai society and business culture and analyzes how these theories can be implemented there.
From the Paper
"Innovations in transportation and communications during the twentieth century have resulted in the ability of goods and services to move among nations with greater ease than at any other time in history. International business is no longer the exclusive realm of the large multinational corporation; small businesses are creating marketing niches for themselves in particular product or service areas. This new international focus means that companies in one nation may have employees from another, or many, nations. Organizational theory which may be entirely appropriate to one nation (such as the United States) may not be applicable to other countries."

Abstract
This paper discusses urbanization and rural urban migration in developing countries. In particular, the paper discusses the role that the entrepreneurial class, made up most of rural peasant migrants, has had on China. Basically these individuals are responsible for all of the political and economic changes in China.
From the Paper
"Urbanization and rural-urban migrations are two very closely related phenomena. According to K. Jegasothy in "Population and Rural-Urban Environmental Interactions in Developing Countries," urbanization is conventionally defined as a process of spatial movement of a population towards towns and cities and their resulting expansion" (Jegasothy 1031). Urbanization is the direct result of rural-urban migrations. This is because urbanization is caused by people from rural areas moving into cities and towns. The rate of urbanization and rural-urban migrations has been increasing in recent decades."

Abstract
This paper looks at the different economic and political development histories of Thailand, Ghana, and Chile. It then compares and contrasts these histories by applying different economic and political development theories to each country. The paper concludes with the finding that each of the countries mentioned has achieved great developmental progress, but they all have a long ways to ago in terms of freedom for their people and their social institutions.
From the Paper
"How to best assist developing countries has been a political an economic issue ever since the end of colonization. Three developing areas of particular interest are Thailand, Ghana, and Chile. They each have very different development trajectories, and have gone about developing in very diverse ways. Thailand has actually followed the modernization theory of development, and just needs to continue working on social issues. Ghana in more in line with dependency theory due to its colonial past and has a lot of work to do in the political, economic, and cultural arenas. Chile followed dependency up to a point, when Pinochet took over and led the economy into modernization, leaving much to be desired in the social areas."

"Economic Development and Democratization
Introduction
Early development theory held certain tenets to be truths about how development was to proceed in countries that were not yet industrialized. The assumption was, for example, that the first priority was to create infrastructure, such as roads, dams, and airports, to support an industrial economy. Development theory has been refined, and in some instances changed, as the development process has proceeded in a number of different types of countries around the world. There are still some principles that are basic tenets of traditional development theory. One of these is the idea that population growth tends to fall as development increases and per capita income rises. Another is the belief that economic development promotes democratization. The focus in this paper is ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses Bangkok as the cultural and economic epicenter of Thailand. As a large urban and economic area it provides a great many positive benefits for the economic welfare of the population and the state. The paper further discusses how among some of these acknowledged benefits are employment opportunities that would not otherwise exist, higher salaries in most employment categories, an overall lower cost of living, as well as increased productivity because of the concentration of labor (Clark 14-18). Some of these positive benefits for the local population if the Bangkok metropolitan area can be seen in the overall figures relating to poverty indicate that these are in fact true of the city.

Abstract
In this article the writer looks at the meaning of the term urban and discusses the extent that the urban setting shapes the social life which occurs within it. The writer notes that these issues are closely interrelated. This paper argues, the term "urban" must be understood as a sociological concept whose characteristics fundamentally define the social relations that occur within the urban space. The writer concludes that models of human social behaviour, such as civility, are developed in urban settings as a means of coping with the stresses of population densities as well as a cultural production that is deeply intertwined with economic and emotional relationships of humans as groups and as individuals.
From the Paper
"The relationship between the urban setting and the social life that occurs within it is thus complex but clear. The population densities and uses of space that physically characterize urban settings lead to a range of impacts upon social relations that, in many cases as in the cultural realm, seem indirect and would likely not be predicted. To use a metaphor, within a physical setting human population densities increase until a "critical mass" is attained, at which point "urbanity" comes into existence with an explosion of social and cultural forms that are distinct to urban life.
"Consider, for example, the arguments of some urban sociologists that the urban setting has led to a radical revisioning of fundamental human social interactions."

Abstract
This paper explains that the spectacular growth and development of the urban habitation over the past 16 years is just the beginning of a gigantic phase of extension. The author points out that China?s ecological problems from the speedy urbanization and industrialization process in the recent decades generate social effects, causing a great deal of harm to human health, instigating economic and welfare suffering, and harming the environment in both urban and rural areas of China. The paper relates that, because of increasing industrialization and urbanization, the majority of the Indian cities have exceedingly compact habitation that results in overcrowding, clogging, obstruction, traffic jams, air pollution, noise pollution, as well as major deficiencies of vital requirements and necessities of life

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The velocity of urbanization and industrialization was extremely slow prior to the late 1970s when contrasted with other developing states. The proportion of urban inhabitants was 11.2 in 1950, and still barely 17.9 by 1978. This low degree of urbanization had been the consequence from purposeful procedures of restraining rural-urban immigration and urban increase. Economic restructurings have since accelerated the industrialization and urbanization procedures. Large numerals of towns, as well as, cities have surfaced, at the same time as old cities are quickly increasing their managerial spheres."

From the Paper
"Society can be regarded as another tourism resource (Angell et al, 1990; Ekins, 1997) and likewise it is safe to assume that it may affect tourism activity as well. The anticipated further tourism development in Thailand through the NNESDP with respects to the local society can be both negative and positive; indicating that the degree of sustainability of the Thai tourism industry may depend on the nature of the anticipated social impacts. One of the negative aspects of Thai society is the abundance of prostitution that exist in the Country (Englund, 1998, . In addition, the spread of HIV has become rampant in recent years. According to Rittichainuwat et al (2001) these factors can give tourists a negative view of the country and influence their decision to vacation in the country. This social reality challenges development practices under the NNESDP and the sustainability of tourism in Thailand. According to Poong (2004), the primary objective of the NNESDP is to enforce the Thai economy and tourism as an industry within this economy that can contribute heavily to this."

"The Government of Thailand
Introduction
The course of modernization, and democracy, in Thailand has not run smoothly. At this point, Thailand is operating under its 15th constitution, the latest of which was promulgated in 1991 by the National Peacekeeping Council of the coup regime. That constitution provided for a bicameral legislature and a constitutional monarchy, modeled on the system used in Great Britain. There are, however, many differences, both in structure and operation. The intention in this paper is to explore the development of the Thai governmental structure through looking at historical background and modern developments, followed by a brief discussion of contemporary politics."

Abstract
This paper examines how prostitution in Thailand is practiced on such a large scale that it has become almost a way of life. The history of prostitution in the country goes back a long way, but it was internationalized during the Vietnam War when large numbers of American soldiers made Thailand their ?R&R? base. Since then, an increasing number of sex tourists have patronized the sex trade in Bangkok and certain other cities. The sex workers in Thailand comprise both ?free? and ?forced? prostitutes, both of whom are exposed to a number of risks, such as exposure to dangerous diseases, exploitation, and violence. The profession does, however, provide a living for a large number of poor women, and the sex industry in Thailand is big business for many, including the thriving tourist industry.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The single biggest cause of prostitution in Thailand is without doubt poverty. Poverty is, as Mr. Shahabudin notes, ?a vicious force that drives families to sacrifice their daughters to prostitution.? Most surveys of ?massage girls? in Bangkok show that over 70% of the girls come from poor farming families and almost all of them send part of their earnings home to feed their families. Many of them come from refugee families who have lost their land on which they farmed previously; now these families have little choice but to send their children out for work in order to survive. The incentive for making income through prostitution in Thailand is overwhelming for poor peasant girls: Catherine Hill (1993) quoting Pasuk Phongpaichit, author of From Peasant Girls to Bangkok Masseuses ( 1982, 8) writes that prostitution in Thailand offers ?wages up to twenty-five times the wages to women in other industries.?"

Urban Planning in Canada, 2008.
This document discusses the need for greater urban planning across Canada.

Abstract
The paper relates that if Canada wishes to maintain its advantage in sustainability and environmental leadership, it must continue to implement urban planning as a core strategy of sustainable development. The paper focuses on the greater Toronto area and discusses how urban planners have defined its geographic boundaries by the character of the surrounding geography itself. The paper shows, however, how its overall boundary making strategy may not be as clear as it could be. The paper concludes that without the technology to remap the region for various purposes, assigning requisite resources for specific purposes would be very difficult indeed for the city's urban planners. The paper includes two color maps of Toronto.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"European settlers, across the breadth of Canada, have long utilized boundary setting and the definition of geographical boundaries for both cartographic and political purposes. This began with the earliest colonization of the Canadian provinces and continues, to one degree or another, today. Harris points out that the expansion of the suburbs following World War II created growing strain on Canada's cities and its natural environment that was quickly recognized as a threat vis-a-vis sustainability (2004). Yet, with the ever expanding population following the war, due both to natural population growth as well as to Canada's ever-more friendly immigration policies, urban planning became not only a benefit to sustainable development but a necessity."
