Paper Title
Factors Influencing the Location of Thai Handbags Production in Thailand
Abstract
The purposes of this research are to Study and analyze factors influencing the location of Thai handbags
production in Thailand. The data used in the analysis were the secondary data recorded in 2015. The techniques and methods
for the analysis were the correlation analysis and the multiple regression analysis. The results of analyzing the factors
influencing the location of Thai handbags production in Thailand, it is found from the Pearson correlation coefficient of each
independent variable on the dependent variable, it was found that the size of the Thai handbags production was positively
correlated to the market at the highest level with the r at 0.943, followed by semi-skilled labor with the R at 0.813, capital
with the R at 0.806, and transportation with the R at 0.802 respectively. For the multiple regression analysis it was found that
the coefficient of multiple's correlational or the R value was at 0.943 indicates that all independent variables are positively
correlated with the dependent variable at a high level and the coefficient of determination of multiple's or the R2of 0.890
meaning that the transportation variables could explain the change or variance of Thai handbags production or employees
size was 89.00 % of the total variation of variables. The remaining 11 % was due to the influence of other variables that was
not taken into consideration. After adjusting the R2, the R2adj was equal to 0.885 indicating that after adjusting the R2, Market
variables continue to influence the size of the Thai handbags production at a high level. That is the market variables can lead
to regression in order to forecast the size of the Thai handbags production. The multiple regressionmodel wasY =
43505.259+ 0.760X(market). Themarket variable was the variables influencing Thai handbags production was
considered, it could be clearly seen that the location pattern and correlated with Locational Interdependence theory.
