- Abstract
- Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) is a ground augmentation technology supplementary to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to enable the excellence of positioning data to support high-precision work like construction and smart city. Consequently, many governments have invested in the CORS network to facilitate its utilisation in the private, public, research, and other sectors. However, function-based separate development of this technology has brought about over-investment and duplication problems in some countries, such as Australia and Thailand. Hence, this study focuses on CORS implementation in Thailand and searches for a way to alleviate the lack of effective collaboration on the CORS network between government organisations in Thailand. This qualitative research was conducted using abductive reasoning through the lens of collaborative innovation, networked innovation, innovation ecosystem, and stakeholder theory. It used a pattern-matching algorithm to analyse the content of information gathered from the secondary data of documents in Australia and Thailand and the primary data of the interviews in Thailand. The focus groups, experts, and follow-up interviews were arranged to assemble the perspectives of the key persons from six government organisations and three universities involved in the CORS project in Thailand. The analytical works were undertaken by employing within-case studies and comparative analysis techniques. Eventually, the findings presented four core elements significant to inter-organisational and international collaboration on CORS: finance, human resources and responsibilities, plan and policy, and technology. This study investigates the governments' experience in managing CORS implementation in Australia and Thailand to offer the proper solution for Thailand's government to direct the excellent move of its CORS system. The contribution offered by this study is that the experiences learned from Thailand could be helpful to other countries so they can avoid the difficulties encountered in Thailand or apply this model to fix entanglement in their countries.
