SDGs, BCG, Diffusion Theory, Economic InequalityAbstract
This research aims to study and investigate how to drive the achievement of specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the localization of the BCG model in Thailand by applying the principles of diffusion theory. The literature review technique is a research methodology. The SDGs provide a framework for international development that encompasses economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Driving the SDGs requires cooperation from all sectors, including governments, the private sector, and communities. Governments must formulate policies and measures that support the SDGs. Considering its societal and environmental impact, the private sector should conduct business responsibly. At the community and local levels, active involvement is crucial in advancing SDGs that align with Community-Based Development. Creating meaningful employment is essential for reducing economic inequality and increasing social inclusion. Sustainable production and consumption practices will focus on producing goods and services that efficiently utilize natural resources and energy without harming the environment.
