The year 2018 has been The Year of Change, the time when digital disrupted all business sectors and forced them to change their business model. It was the year when digital disruption moved on to digital transformation of business models.

THE NATION has named Tos Chirathivat, chief executive of Central Group as Businessman of the Year due to his long vision in transforming Thailand’s largest retail conglomerate to challenge the emergence of digital technology and maximise its omnichannel potential.
