Abstract

Recent technological developments in Thailand fall into three categories. First, early industrialisation promoted efficiency and employment in Thai industries. However, this did not support skills development among the Thai work-force. Second, the government became increasingly involved in the promotion of science and technology in addressing previous problems, particularly in information technology (IT). An institutional framework to assist IT developments was initiated, resulting in the setting-up of the National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre and a National IT Committee, and the formulation of a National IT Policy. Lastly, a mismatch between the demand and supply of qualified manpower, particularly in IT, has been cumulative and remains pervasive. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
