Infrastructure development planning in SEA: an analysis of the national telecommunications planning practice in Thailand
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of a telecommunications infrastructure is underway in both the developing and developed nations. The challenges of the development of a national telecommunications infrastructure for developing economies differ significantly from the developed economies. This study provides an analysis of the telecommunications infrastructure development process in Thailand. It does this by examining the Telecommunications Planning Practice (TPP) within the State Owned Enterprises (SOEs). A multiple case study design approach is used for exploring the underlying TPP strategies at play among the Thai telecommunications players. The theoretical contribution of this study can be seen from the analyses that have contributed towards the understanding of the TPP strategies among Thai telecommunications managers. This has also helped in establishing the theoretical justifications for the development of a formal national telecommunications development agenda in Thailand. 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
