Thailand software industry analysis

This analysis examines the software industry in Thailand. It explores the idea that national competitiveness increasingly depends upon information and communication technology (ICT), with software being one of the major components of ICT. The data presented shows that, though there has been strong growth in the software industry in Thailand, the industry faces many challenges and problems that need to be resolved, including rising software piracy rates, a digital divide, and slow adoption among small-to-medium enterprises. The results of this study can be used as “lessons learned” for the development of the software industry in many developing countries.
