Abstract

According to the economic policy of Thailand, the Thai government has emphasised the competitiveness of the nation by using the cluster-based approach as the main strategy for industrial and economic development. The re-management of clusters undertaken at the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), a major research organisation in Thailand, is based on the concept of the National System of Innovation (NSI). Now a shift is being planned at NSTDA to direct and expand the clusters, based on the national competitiveness agenda recommended by Professor Porter (1990; 1998; 2001). The paper presents the process of defining the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a framework for translating NSTDA's strategic direction into action. Policy implications and supportive initiatives at NSTDA will be useful for research organisations in other countries to exploit the industrial cluster concept for enhancing the nation's technological capabilities.
