Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine whether Thai organisational leaders develop a vision for their organisation and people. It also explores the nature of these visions to see if corporate sustainability is mentioned in the content of these visions, since this issue has been receiving more attention these days. The sample of the study comprises of 298 CEOs, or other senior representatives as assigned by the CEOs, and business owners who were asked to respond to a questionnaire containing questions regarding organisational visions. All respondents are members of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, which assisted with this study. The findings indicate that the themes of the visions obtained still focus on business-related topics. However, the content related to sustainability seems to emerge. The rationale for these findings and recommendation for further study are also discussed.
