Impressive! Technology Management in Thailand should have been advanced with the implementation of TMC. However, through the following “half-empty of the glass” view, two MAIN comments should be also considered: 1.      The fundamental root of the problem could be that “Thailand only invests 0.26 % of its GDP on research” according to Dr. Chainart of TMC.In USA, R&D grew more rapidly than GDP in the United States resulting in an R&D to GDP ratio of 2.7% in 2003. Japan's R&D/GDP ratio subsequently rose to 3.1% in 2002. Several Asian countries, most notably South Korea and China, have been particularly aggressive in expanding their support for R&D. <ol style="margin-top: 0cm">

  • What roles should TMC play in addressing the above-mentioned root cause to the general public and the government?  To be specific, does TMG has enough resources to carry-out its mission. How long those with “cheap brains” will remain with the organization?
  • With surprise! Google search indicates that TMC stands for ”Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai”. My next step was thus making a search for “Technology Management Center AND Thailand”. The result was superb amazing! I found 0 result!
  • </ol> Should we jump to a conclusion that this animal would never achieve its ambitious mission in technology management – if even customers cannot find it from Google? I wish this conclusion is based on a wrong assumption. Well, the above comments could be considered as comments from the “half-empty glass” view.Regards, Chatri MoonstanPh.D student, Chritian University of Thailand
