Under the programme, Alibaba Business School together with IPD and ITPD will host a broad spectrum of online and offline training sessions that serve the needs of different target audiences. “SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises] in Thailand are currently facing both opportunities and threats from technological disruption, and success depends on their ability to adapt,” Deputy Industry Minister Somchai Harnhirun said on Tuesday. “By empowering entrepreneurs with a greater understanding of the digital business landscape, we can drive growth not only for the SMEs themselves, but also the nation’s economy as a whole. James Xu, deputy chief representative of Thailand, Alibaba Group, added: “We are delighted with the opportunity to continue our mission to equip stakeholders in Thailand with a deeper, more thorough understanding of the e-commerce landscape and its impact on how business is done today. The ITPD is part of the Commerce Ministry.
