Keywords:
Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), documentary research, social constructivist, foreign direct investmentAbstract
This paper aims to review the context of the Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor and analyze the potential of Thailand to attract the international investments using documentary research strategy. The value of method is illustrated through an analysis of investment attractiveness and potential rooted from international business paradigm. Extant literature is outlined regarding interpretivist philosophy underpinnings of the documentary method and is followed by an explanation of the method and its application. Findings are drawn from a constructionist approach where the documentary method can add to the development of foreign direct investment framework and Thailand’s potential by providing rich descriptions of actual practice, problems and issues in the EEC.
