@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14164, title = {The Analysis of the Software Industry in Thailand}, author = {Danuvasin Charoen}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The software industry has been considered a critical infrastructure for any nation. Several studies have indicated that national competitiveness increasingly depends upon Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and software is one of the major components of ICT, important for both large and small enterprises. Even though there has been strong growth in the software industry in Thailand, the industry has faced many challenges and problems that need to be resolved. For example, the amount of pirated software has been rising, and Thailand still has a large gap in the digital divide. Additionally, the adoption among SMEs has been slow. This paper investigates various issues in the software industry in Thailand, using information acquired through analysis of secondary sources, observation, and focus groups. The results of this study can be used as “lessons learned" for the development of the software industry in any developing country.}, journal = {International Journal of Information and Communication Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {6}, year = {2013}, pages = {1640 - 1644}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14164}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/78}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 78, 2013}, }
