Dhanin Chearavanont, right, senior chairman of Charoen Pokphand Group, is interviewed by Nation Multimedia Group’s digital journalist Suthichai Yoon.

 

BANGKOK: -- THAILAND conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group has groomed a new generation of its leaders in a move to ensure its continuous growth and sustainable success, said tycoon Dhanin Chearavanont.

 

CP was founded by the Chearavanont family. The CP Group recently appointed Dhanin’s youngest son Suphachai as chief executive officer and Suphachai’s elder brother Soopakij as group chairman. The group also appointed Dhanin, 77, as its senior chairman. Earlier, Dhanin was both CP CEO and chairman. 

 

In an interview with The Nation, Dhanin said that he had focused on developing the plan to ensure the group’s sustainable growth through developing capable human resources and the new generation of leaders.

 

That includes the establishment of the CP Leadership Institute many years ago under a Dhanin initiative.

As long as they eat two more eggs a day. 

 

At one of his offices in Cambodia, they wheel out carts out front and fry up chicken for sale.  As rich as he is, he has not lost sight as to what made him that way, selling chicken on the roadside.

Surely that just means the next generation of his family?

So does this "grooming" involve courses on insider trading?

 

Thai insider trading: CP All pleads for shareholders' forgiveness

 

BANGKOK -- The vice chairman of Thailand's CP All, operator of the ubiquitous 7-Eleven convenience store chain, apologized on Thursday to shareholders for his involvement in an insider trading scandal that came to light late last year. Shareholders raised serious questions about corporate governance at CP All.

 

But that was all the shareholders got from Korsak Chairasmisak at the annual general meeting he personally chaired on the outskirts of Bangkok at a vocational school operated by CP All. A much-anticipated resignation -- or any other show of responsibility -- did not transpire. Shareholders were instead asked repeatedly for "forgiveness."

 

"It wasn't on purpose," said Korsak, claiming that he had no intention of engaging in inside trading -- as he has since the scandal erupted. "From now on, I shall strictly comply with the principles of corporate governance.

Well i bet his grilled chickens are the best deal of the town...just like any other product of him.

 

Shopping at his Makro is also much better than any other shop in Thailand. He only should learn to price single items like avocado's or nets of onions so we don't have to wait for that.

 

Oh and stopping cheating us by showin a big picture of a farang baker at Makro with the text : baked fresh every day while they still sell old bread from 3 days old...that's a big no go and makes the Makro getting a bad reputation. You can show a Thai baker on that picture.

The normal way for large Thai companies to groom the next leaders  is to give internships, junior positions to the children of politicians, police and army. They groom them through the company and hope in the future that they would follow in their parents foot steps and be involve in politics at which point they will be expected to repay thanks to the large Thai company for giving them a start and opportunity.

My wife gets rich hi-so kids with huge new cars as her juniors at work. They work a few months and then quit cause they don't like to work, are too good for that. So they have to find new ones and start all over again.

Ah but I suspect that the owners of the organisation at which your wife works are not too bothered.
Contacts have been made, friendships reinforced and perhaps some future favours banked...

Fellow expats!

 

I'm sure we're all pleased to read the hallowed words of one of the truly untouchables in this country. When this guy calls even the junta leader drops what he's doing. Talk about having a country wrapped up, they might as well be given the money printers of the Bank Of Thailand. Sweet!

There is so much about CP I can't stand. I'm just not even going to start 

What are some of you whining about? Should he just give away the company he built from scratch to some people? It's a family owned business so it is quite normal that he wants his sons to take over. Some lazy people here who don't want to do anything but being parasites expecting to be "taken care of" by others whilst sleeping all day long and drinking and playing cards should learn from these people. All these successful people here started off with basically nothing and built up big businesses. Just shut up and if someone doesn't want to buy their eggs or shop at 7/11 or use true or whatever, just don't. Nobody is forced to do anything.
