From the national news of Thailand the need to open Alibaba
office in the country amplifies the increase need of entrepreneurial business
communication gateway. After google open
their office in Thailand mapping the terrain of Thailand from the north to the
south creates the access of international buyers to the actual geographical
business terrain of the SME companies of Thailand.
As of today the plans of having Alibaba, one
of the biggest Chinese B2B website hub will compete head to head with ebay in
the country together with google. But as
a national perspective, knowing that B2B companies like alibaba is interested
in Thailand amplifies the positive export business future of the country. As to the SME operators, each representatives
of the SME companies must know the fundamentals of E-commerce and IT infrastructure
offered by these online B2B companies like Alibaba.
Alibaba is not operating their main B2B online operation in
China but rather in Australia and US which means that opening Alibaba in
Thailand opens the gateway of commerce not only in China (the main office of
Alibaba) but the west and Europe economy.
One concern that SME operators must consider is the logistical
procurement of the business represented by the 3rd party logistics
(3PL) passing the different customs protocols for each border of entry. But as a whole, this administrative decision
of alibaba in putting one of their offices in Thailand for ASEAN region is a
huge leap for SME business communication and export relations to other
international buyers.
