At PIM International College, we have many professional lecturers who are not only passionate about teaching but also have expertise in their own fields due to education and hands-on experience, for instance, Aj.Ken – Thannaphat Kasemwattanasuk, lecturer of iMTM Program who likes to share his knowledge with students.
Can you briefly tell us about yourself and your specialty?
I am Thannaphat Kasemwattanasuk (Ken). I was graduated with an MBA degree in Marketing concentration from the Graziadio Business School, Pepperdine University, California, USA. Prior to join International College at PIM, I worked in Food and FMCG industries for more than 10 years, responsible for doing marketing and sales for varieties of food and supplemental products in domestic and international markets.
How did you end up becoming a lecturer?
It’s kind of a dream job of mine since I studied at college. I was inspired by my lecturer and I felt that one day I was capable of sharing my knowledge with someone. I would like to be a lecturer and for this reason, I am so grateful to have been given an opportunity to teach at PIM for the last 4 years. From then, I began to love this organization even more. I truly want to contribute my knowledge and do those things I have been working on for the students of the new generation, which is why I made a decision to join PIM as a full-time lecturer.
How do you apply your knowledge through teaching?
Actually, from my work experience, that would be a lot of techniques and the way we work in the industry; those are the things I share with my students. I have learned that a lot of students are great. When they’re put to use their techniques, they could elaborate even more and came up with such a brilliant idea and that is what’s good about international college. The students are quite creative as well. They like to think forward. And these are basically their qualities I find refreshing in students at the international college.
Course you’re teaching, for which year and what benefits of this course?
I am teaching MI62318 Strategic Management for Modern Trade Business for 3rd year iMTM students. From this course, students are learning to develop a business strategy for retail business. At the end of this course, students are expected to deliver a viable business model and business plan as an outcome of enrolling in this course.
What is the highlight of iMTM program?
The iMTM program is a truly action-based learning program, allowing students to apply knowledges in retailing and entrepreneurship they learn from classes to analyze cases from real sectors. Plus, students will have a chance to do internships with companies, which provide them a chance to start their business networking since they have not yet graduated from PIM. Plus, students can even graduate faster at 3.5 years than other colleges in Thailand. These are highlights and benefits of studying iMTM at International College, PIM.

If you are going to invest your time and effort at the institution that allows you many opportunities in exploring the retail industries and international business or to start your own global retail startups, iMTM at International College, PIM is your ultimate choice.
