Abstract
This article assesses the effectiveness of policies adopted by transnational corporations (TNCs) concerning the hiring of local staff and localization of top management positions in Thailand. A boom in direct foreign investment in Thailand since the mid-1980s has created a strong demand for engineering and technical staff. In view of the shortage of local supply, skill formation and training programs for local employees at all levels are emphasized. Differences in policy among Japanese, American and European TNCs are noted, with localization noticeably less likely among Japanese TNCs.
