Abstract

The global business sector has experienced significant growth in the twenty-first century, driving substantial expansion in the global economy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 58% of Cambodia's GDP and employ more than 70% of the workforce. This study aimed to achieve three objectives: to understand the current state of business owners and enterprise operations in Battambang, to investigate the factors that influence the success of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Battambang and to examine business owners' perceptions of the factors that contribute to the success of SMEs in Battambang. To ensure robust analysis, the collected information was subjected to multiple linear regression, a statistical method widely used in the social sciences, along with percentage, frequency, and averaging methods. The comprehensive findings of this study underscore several key points. First, the majority of business owners are men who have established their companies based on personal experience. Importantly, the study reveals that only two of these four variables are indispensable for business success: demographics and management skills. Demographic factors such as age, gender, education level, business experience, and management skills in planning, organizing, leading, and controlling play crucial roles in the success of SMEs.

Abstract

The present research study examined the effectiveness of skimming and scanning techniques in enhancing students' reading comprehension, particularly in fostering their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in learning reading comprehension. Thus, this research aimed to investigate the efficacy of using skimming and scanning as reading strategies to improve students' achievement in reading comprehension at a public high school in Battambang. The study involved students at the elementary level of Lvea High School in Bavel District, Battambang Province. The total population consisted of 350 students with 47 students chosen as the sample for this research through purposive sampling. The researcher employed an experimental design with one class receiving the treatment. Data were collected through a pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. The mean score of the post-test (77.48) was higher than the mean score of the pre-test (32.03). Additionally, the t-score (8.62) was greater than the t-table value (2.013) at a significance level of p<0.05 for a two-tailed test, with a degree of freedom of 46. Furthermore, the questionnaire results showed that most of the students responded positively to use skimming and scanning techniques in reading comprehension. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that skimming and scanning techniques significantly enhance students' reading comprehension achievement and are appropriate for implementation.
