Welcome to NIDA Business School and I invite you to participate in the second NIDA International Business Conference 2017. This conference is an opportune time to foster the development and cooperation between NIDA Business School and scholars, researchers, leaders and students from Thailand and around the world.

NIDA Business School was established in 1966, following the inception of the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) on April 1. 1966. NIDA was conceived and developed by His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and His Majesty the King's discussions of the country’s development with Mr. David Rockefeller of the Rockefeller Foundation of the United States of America, in 1963, for the purpose of concentrating exclusively on graduate studies in fields related to national development.

The School has developed over the years to enlarge its purpose to include the region, in light of AEC and globalization. It was AACSB accredited in 2013 and now has a core faculty comprised of greater than 95% having Doctorate degrees; with all faculty members having obtained their degrees from AACSB accredited schools.

Through its international network development, the school has been able to create links for the cross flow of knowledge to support its mission. For this, we thank our entire network of partners for our success and hope you can join us for our celebration.

All basic elements of our school: facilities, alumni, students, academic and business networks, curriculum, accreditation make us proud to be one of the leading business schools in Thailand.

As the best established business school in Thailand, we are welcoming prospective participants to the second NIDA International Business Conference 2017

It is a goal of the conference to have an impact on becoming better organizations with greater efficiency and to be ready for AEC and globalization. By creating and assembling the practical knowledge or contributing to the body of research knowledge, e.g. enhancing management efficiency, professionalizing businesses and business sectors/clusters, stimulating innovation, creating the frameworks for efficient flow of data for decisions, attracting investments, or through studies of clusters, decision makers are in a better position to make sustainable decisions leading to the long term potential of their organizations, and for business sector development and sustainability.
