Company Profile
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. 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.Samsung

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.
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.Driven by Lee Kun-Hee’s shakeup of Samsung’s culture, in the 1990s the
company continued its expansion into the global electronics markets. Despite its success, those
years also brought about corporate scandals that afflicted the company, including multiple patent-
infringement suits and bribery cases. (In one such case, Lee Kun-Hee was found guilty in 1996
of bribing former president Roh Tae-Woo. He was sentenced to two years in prison, a sentence
that the judge commuted, and was pardoned in 1997.) Nevertheless, the company continued to
make advancements on the technology and product-quality fronts, with a number of its
technology products—ranging from semiconductors to computer-monitor and LCD screens—
climbing into top-five positions in global market share.
The 2000s witnessed the birth of Samsung’s Galaxy smartphone series, whichh quickly not only
became the company’s most-praised products but also were among the best-selling smartphones
in the world. Samsung also supplied the microprocessors for Apple’s earliest iPhone models and
was one of the largest microprocessor manufacturers in the world in the late 20th and early 21st
centuries. Since 2006 the company has been the top-selling global manufacturer of televisions.
Beginning in 2010, the Galaxy series expanded to tablet computers with the introduction of the
Galaxy Tab and in 2013 to smartwatches with the introduction of the Galaxy Gear. Samsung
introduced a foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold, in 2019.
Samsung Electronics spent an estimated $14 billion (U.S.) on advertising and marketing in 2013.
At 5.4% of annual revenue, this is a larger proportion than any of the world’s top-20 companies
by sales (Apple spent 0.6% and General Motors spent 3.5%). Samsung became the world’s
biggest advertiser in 2012, spending $4.3 billion, compared to Apple’s $1 billion. Samsung’s
global brand value of $39.6 billion is less than half that of Apple.
Now, Samsung is one of the major manufacturers of electronic components globally. Samsung
produces LCD and LED panels, mobiles phones, memory chips, NAND flash, solid – state
drives, televisions, digital cinemas screen, and laptops and many more products. The company
previously produced hard drives and printers. It also manufactures of lithium – ion batteries,
semiconductors, image sensors, camera modules, and displays for clients such as Apple, Sony,
HTC, and Nokia. It is also the world largest semiconductor memory manufacturer from 2017 to
2018, had been the largest semiconductor company in the world, briefly dethroning Intel, the

Engineering and Samsung C&T Corporation (respectively the world’s 13th and 36th largest
construction companies). Other notable subsidiaries include Samsung Life Insurance (the world’s
14th largest life insurance company), Samsung Everland (operator of Everland Resort,the oldest
theme park in South Korea) and Cheil Worldwide (the world’s 15th largest advertising agency, as
measured by 2012 revenues).
Samsung continues to maintain its status as the “world best” technology provider. It’s high
qualified workforce is still striving for excellence in their respective fields making the whole
company a huge success in the making. The secret to the company’s continues success is in the
constant improvement of its management structure and the application of its philosophies :
“We will devote our human resources and technology to create superior products and services
thereby contributing to a better global society.”
