1) INTRODUCTION:
Samsung, South Korean company that is one of the world’s largest producers of electronic
devices. Samsung specializes in the production of a wide variety of consumer and industry
electronics, including appliances, digital media devices, semiconductors, memory chips, and
integrated systems. It has become one of the most-recognizable names in technology and
produces about a fifth of South Korea’s total exports. Samsung was founded as a grocery
trading store on March 1, 1938, by Lee Byung-Chull. He started his business in Taegu,
Korea, trading noodles and other goods produced in and around the city and exporting them
to China and its provinces. (The company name, Samsung, came from the Korean for “three
stars.”) After the Korean War, Lee expanded his business into textiles and opened the largest
woolen mill in Korea. He focused heavily on industrialization with the goal of helping his
country redevelop itself after the war. During that period his business benefited from the new
protectionist policies adopted by the Korean government, whose aim was to help large
domestic conglomerates (chaebol) by shielding them from competition and providing them
easy financing. In the late 1950s the company acquired three of Korea’s largest commercial
banks as well as an insurance company and firms that made cement and fertilizer. Samsung
in the 1960s acquired more insurance companies as well as an oil refinery, a nylon company,
and a department store. During the 1970s the company expanded its textile-manufacturing
processes to cover the full line of production—from raw materials all the way to the end
product—to better compete in the textile industry. New subsidiaries such as Samsung Heavy
Industries, Samsung Shipbuilding, and Samsung Precision Company (Samsung Techwin)
were established. Also, during the same period, the company started to invest in the heavy,
chemical, and petrochemical industries, providing the company a promising growth path.
Samsung first entered the electronics industry in 1969 with several electronics-focused
divisions. Their first products were black-and-white televisions. During the 1970s the
company began to export home electronics products overseas. At that time Samsung was
already a major manufacturer in Korea, and it had acquired a 50 percent stake in Korea
Semiconductor .The late 1970s and early ’80s witnessed the rapid expansion of Samsung’s
technology businesses. Separate semiconductor and electronics branches were established,
and in 1978 an aerospace division was created. Samsung Data Systems (now Samsung SDS)
was established in 1985 to serve businesses’ growing need for systems development. That
helped Samsung quickly become a leader in information technology services. Samsung also
created two research and development institutes that broadened the company’s technology
line into electronics, semiconductors, high-polymer chemicals, genetic engineering tools,
telecommunications, aerospace, and nanotechnology. Encyclopedia Britannicam technology
services. Samsung also created two research and development institutes that broadened the
company’s technology line into electronics, semiconductors, high-polymer chemicals,
genetic engineering tools, telecommunications, aerospace, and nanotechnology. Lee Byung-
Chull died in 1987 and was succeeded by his son Lee Kun-Hee. Samsung was split into five
companies; electronics remained under Lee Kun-Hee’s leadership, and the other four
companies were run by other sons and daughters of Lee Byung-Chull. Lee Kun-Hee felt that
Samsung had become complacent because of its dominant position in the South Korean
economy and was unprepared for global competition. He famously said to Samsung
executives, “Change everything but your wife and kids.” Under what Lee termed a “new
management” concept, Samsung insisted that subordinates point out errors to their bosses. It
also stressed quality of products over quantity, promoted women to the ranks of senior
executives, and discouraged bureaucratic practices.
2) MISSION:
“ Samsung is a simple business philosophy: to devote its talent and technology to creating
superior products and services that contribute to a better global society. To achieve this,
Samsung sets a high value on its people and technologies.”
3) VISION:
The mission of Samsung is: Supporting people to be their best ( On the basis of human
resources & technologies).
5) BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT:
The economic environment of the external market deals with Samsung having the largest market
share of Android smartphones. The reduced purchasing power of buyers limits the expansion of
Samsung to further areas. They must stick with solutions that continue to earn profits instead of
experimenting as much. Samsung operates within the macroeconomic environment allowing it to
change its strategies. Samsung pushes to expand to new markets and develop new ideas to more
developed countries with more spending money. The technological environment Is the leading
advantage for a company like Samsung. They use technology for business advantage and new
innovations. Samsung wants to remain in the lead of the smartphone market and it is their main
mission. They try and stay above new technology advancements offering new products before their
competitors. They do have some struggles with Apple on copying of designs. The growth rate of
technology is what keeps the company in the running. The political environment works in favor of
Samsung. There are some political rights and issues the company deals with due to conflicts with
rival countries. These locations where there are issues have an unstable political environment causing
threats to the company. Samsung tends to deal with these issues. It is also the largest marketer of
mobile phones in the market share. They have great research and design capabilities that can replicate
competitor companies new advancements very quickly. Samsung is strong in their marketing and
manufacturing speeds and abilities. They have relationships with many US and Europe retailers
allowing many channels for sales. Samsung also has low productions costs and a large market share.
Internal Operations
1. Superior products and services.
When it comes to quality, Samsung is rivaled by few. The company has shown its commitment
to meeting the needs of this component by competing with the top brands across the globe, and
this fight has made it one of the best. It is no wonder why Samsung ranks second at the global
level revenue-wise. All this is because of the uncompromising attitude that the company has
instilled in its production lines and services where quality is concerned. With this, its products
have come to be associated with a superiority away from the norm.
2. Quality Management
In this age of intense market place competition, every firm is attempting to satisfy its consumers in the
best way possible with the objective of retaining a bigger pool of loyal consumers. This can be achieved
by offering improved or constant quality of products, which results in enhanced levels of consumer
satisfaction. Today, quality is important because current consumers focus more on the quality of the
product and companies are increasingly focusing on quality than previously. The changing market trends
are forcing firms to change their quality management approaches in order to integrate new quality
strategies with a view of delivering high quality goods and services. Samsung employs Total Quality
Management (TQM), which aims at enhancing the quality of manufacturing process by lowering the
levels of rejection, which in the end lowers the costs. The goal is to lower the rejection levels to zero
which means that Samsung strives to improve continuously the quality of its products. Effective
integration of TQM has enabled Samsung to realize competitive advantage over its competitors and this
has helped the company to capture a significant share of the mobile business across the globe.
Companies that operate in the global market place focus more on the quality of their product due to
intense pressure and the fact that quality is a primary source of competitive advantage and distinguishes
the company from its peers (Chang, Kim &Joo, 2013 p. 31). The consumer expectations linked to product
quality is raised has multiple alternatives are availed in the market and consumers tend to go for quality
products from those that are present in the market. In order to maintain its quality advantage, Samsung
has to continue to ensure that its quality system is beyond reproach and cannot be copied by rivals.
3. Inventory Management
The management of inventory is vital business functionality and its effectiveness enables a firm to
exceed or meet the demands of product availability in a manner that maximizes the profitability of the
venture’s operations. Samsung earns a significant percentage of its revenue globally and the company
has to compete on quality and pricing. The competition in consumer electronics and mobile segment is
very stiff. Samsung, for example, uses the Android operating system on its mobile devices, an operating
system that is been used by multiple rivals and as a result, Samsung is forced to price its mobile products
in a narrow range as compare to similar products being offered to the market by its rivals. If competitors
are able to offer alternative products that are priced lower than those of Samsung, then the company is
likely to lose its consumers.

2. Legal compliance:
Compliance Program
The compliance program at Samsung Electro-Mechanics is mainly divided into three processes: prevention,
monitoring, and follow-up.The prevention part includes compliance education for all employees and executives;
manuals and guidelines on compliance to which employees and executives can refer in their official conduct; a self-
monitoring system; a help desk to handle inquiries with regard to noncompliance and related matters; and a system
for monitoring any updates and changes in various laws and regulations.The monitoring part involves a standing
organization that keeps track of possible risks in each single item of compliance around the clock or on a regular
basis. Upon identifying any issues or problems, the organization thoroughly analyzes their causes and outcomes,
and apply solutions for fundamental improvement. The organization also shares its experiences and case studies
with employees and executives as part of their compliance education so as to prevent recurrence.The follow-up part
involves evaluating the level of compliance, assessing measures taken in response to identified issues, and rewards
and sanctions that are designed to ensure effective and sustainable operation of the compliance program.
3. Consumer relationship:
Samsung does this by aiming for high-quality customer service through a number of channels. It recently
unveiled its truck on the streets of New York City that can service customers similar to how a food truck
operates. If a customer needs help setting up their device, their screen to be fixed, or just a place to charge
their phone, they can come aboard the truck and get the service done for free. Samsung is also expanding
its chatbot ability by using bots to efficiently direct customers to a real person who can answer their
questions. Although Michael admits the technology isn’t completely there yet, the idea is that bots will be
able to streamline support requests by texting customers a few questions to point them to the right human
support agent. Future chatbots will be able to gather more information about customers, which will lead
to more customized experiences.
Samsung’s new focus on the end-to-end customer journey means that the focus isn’t just on selling a
product or fixing something when it’s broken—it’s on building relationships throughout the entire
customer journey. Building relationships that solve problems and improve customers’ lives means that
Samsung has to put resources into its programs. By delivering amazing experiences, studies have shown
that customers invest more in the brand, which leads to a huge ROI. The internal Samsung motto for
service is “Done plus one”, meaning that not only is the problem solved, but employees have the power
and are encouraged to go above and beyond to delight customers and make them Samsung fans for life.
It’s not just customers who are connected to the products—employees are as well. Samsung lets its
employees, especially those in the service areas, use their products for personal use so they can fall in
love with them and naturally want to provide amazing service. The hope is that employees will be fueled
by their own passion for the brand and products and want to share that with customers.
Customers are more connected than ever before, and that connection will continue to grow with the IoT
and as more devices become available. Companies like Samsung know the power of staying in touch with
these connected customers to help them not only connect to their devices, but also to connect to the brand.
