Abstract: Thai industry is moving toward Industry 4.0 era. Whilst technologies are today advanced and accessible, Organization and Management are often the obstacle to the development. Thus, the paper focuses on investigating the Human Resource and the Human Resource Management if they are aligned with the potential of the industry toward Industry 4.0. The paper selects indicators from the World Economic Forum’s the Global Competitiveness Report in order to explore Thai industry’s Organization and Management potential. The finding is suggestive that Human Resource and Human Resource Management of Thai industry are deficit. Whilst the Organization and Management Potential has been improving, the Human Resource and Human Resource Management are otherwise. The concerning issues are, for example, Quality of math and science education, Availability of scientists and engineers, Pay and productivity, and Capacity to retain and attract talent
