過去10年全球經濟在當我們進入全球化時代時，區域競爭更趨激烈，每個國家都在尋求增加競爭力的方法。而其中受到歡迎的方法之一就是區域合作，例如NAFTA或是EU，會員國家可以藉由區域經濟合作強化生產與貿易，進而擴大經濟規模。也因此東南亞國協(ASEAN)以目前擔任全世界供給者的角色，更希望能提升國際競爭力。10個東南亞國協會員國，其中包含泰國，更是同意建議東南亞國協經濟共同體來當作是全球發展的策略。
中小企業幾乎是泰國所有企業的核心，因為中小企業龐大的數量跟對就業率的貢獻，更是成為泰國經濟成長的動力，因此本研究的主要目的就是來探討協經濟共同體的相關主題，以及東南亞國協協經濟共同體對泰國中小企業所帶來的機會與風險。良好的準備與研究能讓泰國企業能更正確的掌握機會，也能從中掌握所帶來的風險。

Competition in global economy has gotten progressively fiercer, especially in the past century after we entered the era of globalization. Countries all over the world struggle for ways to be competitive. One of the methods that have been increasingly popular is regional economic integration. Regional economic integration, such as NAFTA or EU can bring a considerable advantage in production and trade for the member states, resulting in economic expansion. ASEAN, as a current major world supplier, has been seeking means to become competitive on an international level. Ten ASEAN countries, including Thailand, agreed to form the ASEAN Economic Community or AEC as a strategy to compete in the world economy.
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) account for almost all businesses in Thailand. It is seen as an engine of growth due to the high quantity of them, and its large contribution to the employment rate. It is important to see how the AEC can affect SMEs and what opportunities and risks SMEs could have. Thailand can benefit from integration into the AEC if preparation is made to exploit future opportunities. However, it is also necessary to watch out for risks associated with increasing competition. Free flow of goods can help with production, imports, and exports. Meanwhile, goods have to reach an international standard to be able to compete in a global market. Free flow of investment and freer flow of capital can reduce the labor cost. Free flow of skilled labors and services increase FDI and relieve the issue of oligopolies. Nevertheless, Thailand does not welcome the idea of service sector liberalization. SMEs can survive in growing competition environment by focusing on research and development, enhancing product creativity and partnering up with foreign alliances. Government can also help by taking service liberalization seriously to encourage economic expansion. Therefore, this thesis aims to study the effects of AEC on Thai economy by doing literature review on the related topics.
