Abstract

The study aims to check the suitability and feasibility of establishing a storage and distribution center in Tak Province to support the Tak Special Economic Development Zone. Indeed, business organizations in different countries are provided with opportunities to practice business activities in the special economic zone. However, some business organizations are not developing their storage and distribution centers in the special economic zones. The stratified sampling method was adopted in this study to collect the data from the target population. The sample size was 500 and the Likert scale questionnaire was prepared to collect the data from the target population. The study demonstrates that there is a critical role of storage centers and distribution centers in the success of businesses if these centers are following the rules and regulations of the special economic zones. The significance of this study is that no earlier study has discussed the critical role of storage and distribution centers in the Kat Special Economic Development Zone in Kat Province.
