First of all I’d like to thank all those who gave such a great response to our ‘Green’ issue. I think that one lesson we have all learned over the past year is that business, and life, has to become more sustainable if we are truly going to prosper. Of course, going green is just one part of developing a sustainable economy.
Another part of the jigsaw is creativity and innovation, two words often lacking in Thailand, a country known by tourists throughout the world as a mecca for copied goods. Can you imagine the results if all the painstaking efforts in mimicking the best in Swiss watches were redirected to imaginative and ground-breaking local products? The mind boggles. There is certainly the workforce to carry this through but where are the ideas to spark everything off.
