Cambodia, like all other developing countries in the world, has an ecommerce industry ready for takeoff. The world is fast becoming a global village thanks to the removal of boundaries through the internet. News spreads from one corner of the world to the other in the blink of an eye. Thanks to the internet, the lifestyles of people are also changing.

How ecommerce is changing lifestyles of the masses?

The developed countries like USA and UK have a mature ecommerce industry. Online shopping is a norm in such places. People don’t visit brick and mortar stores but just order stuff online and get it delivered to their homes, in the process, saving some precious time.

Unlike such developed countries, the ecommerce in Cambodia is just starting off. While it is late to join the party, it is better late than never. The number of internet subscribers in on the high. The number of mobile phone subscribers is also increasing. With the advent of 3G and 4G technology, what this means is that the masses will have access to blazing fast internet on their fingertips. This fact is enough to see what a huge impact internet can make in the way people live their lives. Online shopping websites like Kaymu and Eday-kh are starting off and there are several others who are garnering positive response from Cambodians. This warm reception is proof enough that with the right investments and strategies, the ecommerce in Cambodia can reach unappalled heights.

Factors which will ensure the success of online marketplaces in Cambodia

Trust

A lot of online marketplaces have popped up in recent years but not many have been successful. This is because a lot of them have failed to earn the trust of the customers. Trustworthiness is the key factor in determining the success of the venture. No one can share their private details or shop on a website in which they don’t trust.

Easy Modes of Payment

 Online marketplaces have to ensure that Cambodians have access to easy modes of payment. After trust, facilitation of customers is a key factor in the success of any online marketplace. Modes of payment like Cash on Delivery allows customers to pay once the order reaches their doorsteps. What this does is that it also promotes trust and confidence in the buyer.

Return Policies

One of the biggest reasons people don’t buy online in Cambodia is because of the poor return policies. On electronic items, warranties are a must otherwise people just won’t buy. Similarly, when buying clothes online, you have to ensure that sizes are a perfect fit. And if not, there should be easy return policies. If a product is faulty or doesn’t do what it claims to do, returning it is the basic right of customer. In brick and mortar stores, this is a norm. A lot of online marketplaces are a bit hesitant to do this as they fear high costs, but this is a key factor in determining the success of online marketplace in Cambodia.

The core values of an organization are those values we hold which form the foundation on which we perform work and conduct ourselves.  We have an entire universe of values, but some of them are so primary, so important to us that through out the changes in society, government, politics, and technology they are STILL the core values we will abide by.  In an ever-changing world, core values are constant.  Core values are not descriptions of the work we do or the strategies we employ to accomplish our mission.  The values underlie our work, how interact with each other, and which strategies we employ to fulfill our mission.  The core values are the basic elements of how we go about our work.  They are the practices we use (or should be using) every day in everything we do.

Core Values About Life

Often, when you hear someone discuss why they fell in love with a spouse, they will mention that they have the same values. In this case, they are often talking about core values, or internal beliefs that dictate how life is to be lived. 

Some examples of core values people might have about life include:

  • A belief, or lack thereof, in God and/or an affiliation with a religious institution
  • A belief in being a good steward of resources and in exercising frugality
  • A belief that family is of fundamental importance
  • A belief that honesty is always the best policy and that trust has to be earned
  • A belief in maintaining a healthy work/life balance

Parents also try to instill these types of positive core values in children.

Of course, core values don't always have to be positive. Some people may be driven by self-interest or greed, and these are core values too if they dictate the way the people live their lives. 

Corporate Core Values

Companies can have core values as well. These are the guiding principles that help to define how the corporation would behave. They are usually expressed in the corporation's mission statement.

Some examples of core values for a company might include:

  • A commitment to sustainability and to acting in an environmentally friendly way. Companies like Patagonia and Ben & Jerry's have environmental sustainability as a core value. 
  • A commitment to innovation and excellence. Apple Computer is perhaps best known for having a commitment to innovation as a core value. This is embodied by their "Think Different" motto. 
  • A commitment to doing good for the whole. Google, for example, believes in making a great search engine and building a great company without being evil. 

As you can see, many of the core values that companies have are similar to those that individuals might choose as guiding principles as well.

Companies may also have negative core values as well. Companies that are solely motivated by profit, such as tobacco companies who lied to their customers about the dangers of smoking, may have been driven by core values of self-interest and an overly strong profit motive. 

Some Types of Core Values

There are countless types of core values, as you can see, so you will need to choose the ones that are right for you or your organization.

Here are some examples of core values from which you may wish to choose:

  • Dependable
  • Reliable
  • Loyal
  • Committed
  • Open-minded
  • Consistent
  • Honest
  • Efficient
  • Innovative
  • Creative
  • Humorous
  • Fun-loving
  • Adventurous
  • Motivated
  • Positive
  • Optimistic
  • Inspiring
  • Passionate
  • Respectful
  • Athletic
  • Fit
  • Courageous
  • Educated
  • Respected
  • Loving 
  • Nurturing

Identifying Core Values

While some people or companies might expressly publish their core values, often the best way to identify these values is to which how they act and behave. A core value is only a true core value if it has an active influence and if the people or company manage to live by it, at least most of the time. 

We have discussed why core values are important and some strategies for setting core values. You may be wondering: what do core values look like? Below is a list of 10 core values that are common across organizations in different industries:

  • Accountability – Acknowledging and assuming responsibility for actions, products, decisions, and policies. It can be applied to both individual accountability on the part of employees and accountability of the company as a whole.
  • Balance – Taking a proactive stand to create and maintain a healthy work-life balance for workers.
  • Commitment – Committing to great product, service, and other initiatives that impact lives within and outside the organization.
  • Community –Contributing to society and demonstrating corporate social responsibility.
  • Diversity – respecting the diversity and giving the best of composition. Establishing an employee equity program.
  • Empowerment – Encouraging employees to take initiative and give the best. Adopting an error-embracing environment to empower employees to lead and make decisions.
  • Innovation – Pursuing new creative ideas that have the potential to change the world.
  • Integrity – Acting with honesty and honor without compromising the truth
  • Ownership – Taking care of the company and customers as they were one’s own.
  • Safety – ensuring the health and safety of employees and going beyond the legal requirements to provide an accident-free workplace.
