Description This study investigates the behavior of Thai industries’ R&D and innovation (RDI) activities,the technological investment, using the institutional framework in analyses. Using firm-leveldata from Thailand’s R&D and Innovation activities survey from theIndustrial sector 2009,the results show that most firms’ characteristic and business environment variablesaresignificantly related to the probabilities of carrying out RDI activities. R&Dexpenditures canbe explained significantly by total sales, number of R&D staff, external cooperation withbusiness partners and with universities or public research institutes (PRI). Forinnovations, theexpenditures are significantlyrelated with more effect than on the R&D,to total sales and theexport portion, experiences, and results of former activities. Decisionson effort allocation offirms’ R&D and innovation activities are different. Firms tend to carry out R&D onproductsmore than on only processes, or carry outboth. But for innovation activities, firms tend tocarry out both product and process innovation. Policy implications propose that governmentshould support firms by providing appropriate information, facilitating cooperation bothbetween the public to private sectors and among private firms, providing proper fundingmechanisms, and supporting other related technological activities.
