Bangkok--Sep 5--SET
The Capital Market Academy (CMA), an institution of The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), has launched its leadership program with top executives from various institutions in attendance. The CMA’s mission is to synergize knowledge, vision, and leadership to develop top quality leaders.
SET President Mr. Kittiratt Na-Ranong announced at the inauguration of the CMA’s first leadership program on September 3, 2005 that the academy had invited 50 top-level executives from the public and private sectors, non-government organizations, academic institutions, and the SET and its subsidiaries to attend its first “CMA Leadership Program” scheduled on September 9 — December 3, 2005.
He said, “The CMA will create a new frontier in top-executives programs, as its course blends knowledge in the capital market with leadership and ethics. It is aimed at developing top quality leaders who will play a key role in the Thai capital market. The desired leaders should have a superior understanding of business and the capital market, a readiness to adapt to change, the foresight to enable them to anticipate business opportunities and threats, as well as the capability to professionally and effectively lead their organizations through obstacles.
“In addition to having an opportunity to gain insights by exchanging views with other participants, it will also be a great opportunity for the course’s attendees to create a business network for future possible collaborations,” he continued.
The CMA Leadership Program will consist of seminars, case studies, discussions and reality-based activities. The participants must also present their final project papers in order to be awarded their Certificates of Achievement.
The CMA Leadership Program includes a Core Course (60 hrs.) divided into 3 areas: 1) Professional knowledge in the capital market 2) Ideas about social aspects that should be integrated with business knowledge, and 3) Leadership Expertise. Furthermore, there will be an out—of-classroom activity entitled “Educational Activity to Acquire Foresight”. This activity will equip the participants with the global economic, social and political trends.
The CMA is under the operational umbrella of the SET. On April 29, 2005, Dr. Somkid Jatusripitak, Deputy PM and then Finance Minister, chaired the opening ceremony, which was held on the auspicious occasion of the SET’s 30th anniversary. The CMA’s mission is to implement major academic activities, such as the Leadership Program. The Academy will also operate various academic activities applicable to capital market managers, to develop both the capital market and Thai society. There will special training sessions about the CMA itself as well as management training courses and seminars on general academic issues, etc.
