Technology development in Thailand: a private sector view
Article Abstract:
The technology development policy of Thailand is evaluated as it relates to economic growth. AWorld Bank study shows that differences between capital imports and value-addedexports is increasing and that the private investment index is decreasing. Thisimplies that the technological investments are not achieving expected returns and that the country's competitive position is declining. Technology development is seen as the key for correcting these problems. The country is expected to be the next newly-industrialized state in the Southeast Asian region.
