Thai Entrepreneurs: An Empirical Investigation of Individual Differences, Background and Scanning Behavior‪.‬

INTRODUCTION Thailand, a country of approximately 60 million people, is roughly the size of the state of Texas. It is properly classified as a newly industrialized country (NIC) with significant natural resources. Thailand's economy is dynamic with a Gross Domestic Product of $323 billion and a 7.8% growth rate in 1993. The trade and current account deficits have fallen and the bulk of recent imports has been capital equipment--suggesting an economy poised for further growth (National Trade Data Bank, 1994).
