The scope will cover users of coworking spaces in Bangkok CBD, Thailand. Research approach will apply quantitative analysis through questionnaire surveys during November, 2017. The research results will be beneficial to the entrepreneurs of coworking spaces to understand the needs of target users and to support their businesses investment strategic.
