Abstract
This thesis is a study of technology transfer from Car Maker Companies,
through Foreign Direct Investment companies in Thailand. Much literature indicates
that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) contributes benefits of technology transfer to the
host country, and this study is conducted to investigate whether technology transfer is
happening in Thailand or not. What technologies at Car Makers are made available to
Auto-Parts manufacturers in Thailand? And how is the technology transferred?
Comparing companies with different characteristics of shareholding from Joint-
Venture companies in which the Thai shareholding is 50 percent and above, to
companies in which the shareholding is 100 percent Thai - is there a difference in the
transfer of the technology from the Car Maker?
The platforms of data collection used for this study are interviews and
questionnaires, and analysis of the data by both qualitative and quantitative methods.
The sampling groups are Tier 1 suppliers of Auto-Parts manufactured in Thailand and
are the same group as mentioned above.
The result of this study shows the role Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays
in the host country as Thailand that FDI does not play an important role for
Technology Transfer to Thailand. And in term of policy recommendation, the
government should improve on education system and policy, adjust the investment
policy, and develop the policy for local auto part manufacturers in term of research
and development (R&D).
