Supporting research scholarship on capital market at the Master’s degree level to create an educational and business
network
SET strives to become a leader in promoting collaboration
on the Thai capital market between businesses and educational
institutions by linking academicians and business operators in
the capital market. Therefore, in 2012, SET collaborated with
14 educational institutions and capital market organizations to
organize the “Clinic for Capital Market Research” twice in 2012.
To upgrade the quality of capital market research papers, SET
organized a competition to select outstanding research papers
about the capital market.
Creating corporate leaders via the Capital Market Academy
The Capital Market Academy offers curriculum for professionals in
a wide variety of sources to create highly capable executives with expertise
in the capital market and with the dynamic vision and leadership needed to
drive their organizations to accomplish both business and social objectives.
Over the past eight years, 1,240 from 15 classes have attended the courses
provided by the Capital Market Academy. They have greatly contributed to
the development of the Thai capital market, proposing guidelines to develop
the market to the government; these guidelines have been incorporated into the current Thai capital market development plan.
Moreover, the Academy sponsored academic research papers which have been beneficial to the Thai economic and
social development. The papers cover a variety of topics, e.g., Obstacles and Solutions To Encourage Private Sector Participation in
Infrastructure Project Investment, A Case Study Regarding Public Private Joint Venture Act BE 2535, Guidelines To Increase
Institutional Investors in Thai Capital Market, Perspectives of Thai Businesses in Mobilizing Funds Through the Stock Market,
Long-term Investment to be Ready for the ASEAN Economic Community: A Case Study for Basic Infrastructure Development
in Thailand and the Role of the Capital Market in Developing Railway Projects in Thailand.
On social responsibility, in 2012, the academy and all classes
of alumni organized the “Power of the Capital Market Academy to reduce
the social gap” project in 10 provinces (Amnat Charoen, Burirum, Loei,
Mae Hong Son, Nakhon Panom, Nong Kai, Sakon Nakhon, Sakaeo, Sisaket,
and Ubon Ratchathani).
In 2012, the Capital Markets Academy and the students of classes
14 and 15 organized two projects -- “Power of the Academy to reduce the
social gap” and “Supply educational equipment to fulfill the Royal Intention of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn” -- to bridge
the income disparity gap in Ubon Ratch Thani and Loei provinces
In addition, the Academy also established a community rice mill in Bansium Community, Ubon Ratchathani province and
a visitors’ center and public toilets with standard and aesthetic elements that blended well into the landscape of Chiangkan in Loei
province.
