Samsung (Korean: 삼성; Hanja: 三星; Korean pronunciation: [samsʌŋ]; means "three stars" in
English) is a South Korean multinational conglomerate headquartered in Samsung Town,
Seoul.[1] It comprises numerous affiliated businesses,[1] most of them united under the
Samsung brand, and is the largest South Korean chaebol (business conglomerate).

Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-chul in 1938 as a trading company. Over the next three
decades, the group diversified into areas including food processing, textiles, insurance,
securities, and retail. Samsung entered the electronics industry in the late 1960s and the
construction and shipbuilding industries in the mid-1970s; these areas would drive its
subsequent growth. Following Lee's death in 1987, Samsung was separated into four business
groups – Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group, CJ Group and Hansol Group. Since 1990,
Samsung has increasingly globalised its activities and electronics; in particular, its mobile
phones and semiconductors have become its most important source of income. As of 2017,
Samsung has the 6th highest global brand value.[6]

Notable Samsung industrial affiliates include Samsung Electronics (the world's largest
information technology company, consumer electronics maker and chipmaker measured by
2017 revenues),[7][8] Samsung Heavy Industries (the world's 2nd largest shipbuilder measured
by 2010 revenues),[9] and Samsung Engineering and Samsung C&T (respectively the world's
13th and 36th largest construction companies).[10] Other notable subsidiaries include Samsung
Life Insurance (the world's 14th largest life insurance company),[11] Samsung Everland
(operator of Everland Resort, the oldest theme park in South Korea)[12] and Cheil Worldwide
(the world's 15th largest advertising agency, as measured by 2012 revenues).[13][14]

Samsung has a powerful influence on South Korea's economic development, politics, media
and culture and has been a major driving force behind the "Miracle on the Han River".[15][16] Its
affiliate companies produce around a fifth of South Korea's total exports.[17] Samsung's
revenue was equal to 17% of South Korea's $1,082 billion GDP.[18]

Etymology
According to Samsung's founder, the meaning of the Korean hanja word Samsung (三星) is
"tri-star" or "three stars". The word "three" represents something "big, numerous and
powerful".[19]

History
1938–1970

Lee Byung-chul, founder of Samsung

In 1938, Lee Byung-chul (1910–1987) of a large landowning family in the Uiryeong county
moved to nearby Daegu city and founded Samsung Sanghoe (삼성상회, 三星商會).
Samsung started out as a small trading company with forty employees located in Su-dong
(now Ingyo-dong).[20] It dealt in dried-fish,[20] locally-grown groceries and noodles. The
company prospered and Lee moved its head office to Seoul in 1947. When the Korean War
broke out, he was forced to leave Seoul. He started a sugar refinery in Busan named Cheil
Jedang. In 1954, Lee founded Cheil Mojik and built the plant in Chimsan-dong, Daegu. It
was the largest woollen mill ever in the country.[citation needed]

Samsung diversified into many different areas. Lee sought to establish Samsung as leader in a
wide range of industries. Samsung moved into lines of business such as insurance, securities
and retail.
In 1947, Cho Hong-jai, the Hyosung group's founder, jointly invested in a new company
called Samsung Mulsan Gongsa, or the Samsung Trading Corporation, with the Samsung's
founder Lee Byung-chull. The trading firm grew to become the present-day Samsung C&T
Corporation. After a few years, Cho and Lee separated due to differences in management
style. Cho wanted a 30 equity share. Samsung Group was separated into Samsung Group and
Hyosung Group, Hankook Tire and other businesses.[21][22]

In the late 1960s, Samsung Group entered the electronics industry. It formed several
electronics-related divisions, such as Samsung Electronics Devices, Samsung Electro-
Mechanics, Samsung Corning and Samsung Semiconductor & Telecommunications, and
made the facility in Suwon. Its first product was a black-and-white television set.[citation needed]

1970–1990

The SPC-1000, introduced in 1982, was Samsung's first personal computer (sold in the
Korean market only) and used an audio cassette tape to load and save data – the floppy drive
was optional.[23]

In 1980, Samsung acquired the Gumi-based Hanguk Jeonja Tongsin and entered
telecommunications hardware. Its early products were switchboards. The facility was
developed into the telephone and fax manufacturing systems and became the center of
Samsung's mobile phone manufacturing. They have produced over 800 million mobile
phones to date.[24] The company grouped them together under Samsung Electronics in the
1980s.

After Lee, the founder's death in 1987, Samsung Group was separated into four business
groups—Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group, CJ Group and the Hansol Group.[25] Shinsegae
(discount store, department store) was originally part of Samsung Group, separated in the
1990s from the Samsung Group along with CJ Group
(Food/Chemicals/Entertainment/logistics), and the Hansol Group (Paper/Telecom). Today
these separated groups are independent and they are not part of or connected to the Samsung
Group.[26] One Hansol Group representative said, "Only people ignorant of the laws governing
the business world could believe something so absurd", adding, "When Hansol separated
from the Samsung Group in 1991, it severed all payment guarantees and share-holding ties
with Samsung affiliates." One Hansol Group source asserted, "Hansol, Shinsegae, and CJ
have been under independent management since their respective separations from the
Samsung Group". One Shinsegae department store executive director said, "Shinsegae has no
payment guarantees associated with the Samsung Group".[26]

In 1980s, Samsung Electronics began to invest heavily in research and development,

investments that were pivotal in pushing the company to the forefront of the global
electronics industry. In 1982, it built a television assembly plant in Portugal; in 1984, a plant
in New York; in 1985, a plant in Tokyo; in 1987, a facility in England; and another facility in
Austin, Texas, in 1996. As of 2012, Samsung has invested more than US$13,000,000,000 in
the Austin facility, which operates under the name Samsung Austin Semiconductor. This
makes the Austin location the largest foreign investment in Texas and one of the largest
single foreign investments in the United States.[27][28]

1990–2000

Samsung started to rise as an international corporation in the 1990s. Samsung's construction

branch was awarded contracts to build one of the two Petronas Towers in Malaysia, Taipei
101 in Taiwan and the Burj Khalifa in United Arab Emirates.[29] In 1993, Lee Kun-hee sold
off ten of Samsung Group's subsidiaries, downsized the company, and merged other
operations to concentrate on three industries: electronics, engineering and chemicals. In 1996,
the Samsung Group reacquired the Sungkyunkwan University foundation.

Samsung became the world's largest producer of memory chips in 1992 and is the world's
second-largest chipmaker after Intel (see Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Market Share
Ranking Year by Year).[30] In 1995, it created its first liquid-crystal display screen. Ten years
later, Samsung grew to be the world's largest manufacturer of liquid-crystal display panels.
Sony, which had not invested in large-size TFT-LCDs, contacted Samsung to cooperate, and,
in 2006, S-LCD was established as a joint venture between Samsung and Sony in order to
provide a stable supply of LCD panels for both manufacturers. S-LCD was owned by
Samsung (50% plus one share) and Sony (50% minus one share) and operates its factories
and facilities in Tangjung, South Korea. As of 26 December 2011, it was announced that
Samsung had acquired the stake of Sony in this joint venture.[31]

Compared to other major Korean companies, Samsung survived the 1997 Asian financial
crisis relatively unharmed. However, Samsung Motor was sold to Renault at a significant
loss. As of 2010, Renault Samsung is 80.1 percent owned by Renault and 19.9 percent owned
by Samsung. Additionally, Samsung manufactured a range of aircraft from the 1980s to
1990s. The company was founded in 1999 as Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the result of
a merger between then three domestic major aerospace divisions of Samsung Aerospace,
Daewoo Heavy Industries and Hyundai Space and Aircraft Company. However, Samsung
still manufactures aircraft engines and gas turbines.[32]

2000–present

The prominent Samsung sign in Times Square, New York City

In 2000, Samsung opened a development center in Warsaw, Poland. Its work began with set-
top-box technology before moving into digital TV and smartphones. The smartphone
platform was developed with partners, officially launched with the original Samsung
Solstice[33] line of devices and other derivatives in 2008, which was later developed into
Samsung Galaxy line of devices including Notes, Edge and other products.

In 2010, Samsung announced a ten-year growth strategy centered around five businesses.[34]
One of these businesses was to be focused on biopharmaceuticals, to which has committed
₩2,100,000,000,000.[35]

In first quarter of 2012, Samsung Electronics became the world's largest mobile phone maker
by unit sales, overtaking Nokia, which had been the market leader since 1998.[36][37]

On 24 August 2012, nine American jurors ruled that Samsung Electronics had to pay Apple
$1.05 billion in damages for violating six of its patents on smartphone technology. The award
was still less than the $2.5 billion requested by Apple. The decision also ruled that Apple did
not violate five Samsung patents cited in the case.[38] Samsung decried the decision saying that
the move could harm innovation in the sector.[39] It also followed a South Korean ruling
stating that both companies were guilty of infringing on each other's intellectual property.[40]
In first trading after the ruling, Samsung shares on the Kospi index fell 7.7%, the largest fall
since 24 October 2008, to 1,177,000 Korean won.[41] Apple then sought to ban the sales of
eight Samsung phones (Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 AT&T, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S2 T-
Mobile, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Droid Charge and Galaxy Prevail) in the
United States[42] which has been denied by the court.[43]

In 2015, Samsung has been granted more U.S. patents than any other company – including
IBM, Google, Sony, Microsoft and Apple. The company received 7,679 utility patents
through 11 December.[44]

On 2 August 2016, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Note7 smartphone,[45] which
went on sale on 19 August 2016. However, in early September 2016, Samsung suspended
sales of the phone and announced an informal recall. This occurred after some units of the
phones had batteries with a defect that caused them to produce excessive heat, leading to fires
and explosions. Samsung replaced the recalled units of the phones with a new version;
however, it was later discovered that the new version of the Galaxy Note 7 also had the
battery defect. Samsung recalled all Galaxy Note7 smartphones worldwide on 10 October
2016, and permanently ended production of the phone the following day.[46][47][48]

Samsung has made the following acquisitions and attempted acquisitions:[49]

Rollei – Swiss watch battle

Samsung Techwin acquired German camera manufacturer Rollei in 1995. Samsung
(Rollei) used its optic expertise on the crystals of a new line of 100% Swiss-made
watches, designed by a team of watchmakers at Nouvelle Piquerez S.A. in
Bassequort, Switzerland. Rolex's decision to fight Rollei on every front stemmed from
the close resemblance between the two names and fears that its sales would suffer as a
consequence. In the face of such a threat, the Geneva firm decided to confront. This
was also a demonstration of the Swiss watch industry's determination to defend itself
when an established brand is threatened. Rolex sees this front-line battle as vital for
the entire Swiss watch industry. Rolex has succeeded in keeping Rollei out of the
German market. On 11 March 1995, the Cologne District court prohibited the
advertising and sale of Rollei watches on German territory.[50][51] In 1999, Rollei
management bought out the company.[52]
Fokker – Dutch aircraft maker
Samsung lost a chance to revive its failed bid to take over Dutch aircraft maker
Fokker when other airplane makers rejected its offer to form a consortium. The three
proposed partners—Hyundai, Hanjin and Daewoo—notified the South Korean
government that they would not join Samsung Aerospace Industries.[53]
AST Research
Samsung bought AST (1994) in a failed attempt to break into the North American
computer market. Samsung was forced to close the California-based computer maker
following mass resignations of research staff and a string of losses.[54]
FUBU – clothing and apparel
In 1992, American fashion entrepreneur Daymond John started the company with a
hat collection that was made in the basement of his house in the Queens area of New
York City. To fund the company, John had to mortgage his house for $100,000. With
his friends J. Alexander Martin, Carl Brown and Keith Perrin, half of his house was
turned into the first factory of FUBU, while the other half remained as the living
quarters. Along with the expansion of FUBU, Samsung invested in FUBU in 1995.[55]
Lehman Brothers Holdings' Asian operations
Samsung Securities was one of a handful of brokerages looking into Lehman Brothers
Holdings. But Nomura Holdings has reportedly waved the biggest check to win its bid
for Lehman Brothers Holdings' Asian operations, beating out Samsung Securities,
Standard Chartered and Barclays.[56] Ironically, after few months Samsung Securities
Co., Ltd. and City of London-based N M Rothschild & Sons (more commonly known
simply as Rothschild) have agreed to form a strategic alliance in investment banking
business. Two parties will jointly work on cross border mergers and acquisition
deals.[57]
MEDISON Co.,Ltd. – ultrasound monitors
In December 2010, Samsung Electronics bought MEDISON Co., a South Korean
medical-equipment company, the first step in a long-discussed plan to diversify from
consumer electronics.[58]
Grandis Inc. – memory developer
In July 2011, Samsung announced that it had acquired spin-transfer torque random
access memory (MRAM) vendor Grandis Inc.[59] Grandis will become a part of
Samsung's R&D operations and will focus on development of next generation
random-access memory.[60]
Samsung and Sony joint venture – liquid crystal displays
 On 26 December 2011 the board of Samsung Electronics approved a plan to buy
Sony's entire stake in their 2004 joint liquid crystal display (LCD) venture for 1.08
trillion won ($938.97 million).[61]
mSpot, Inc – music service
On 9 May 2012, mSpot announced that it had been acquired by Samsung Electronics
with the intention of a cloud based music service.[62] The succeeding service was
Samsung Music Hub.
NVELO, Inc. – cache software developer
In December 2012, Samsung announced that it had acquired the privately held storage
software vendor NVELO, Inc., based in Santa Clara, California.[63] NVELO will
become part of Samsung's R&D operations, and will focus on software for
intelligently managing and optimizing next-generation Samsung SSD storage
subsystems for consumer and enterprise computing platforms.
NeuroLogica – portable CT scanner
In January 2013, Samsung announced that it has acquired medical imaging company
NeuroLogica, part of the multinational conglomerate's plans to build a leading
medical technology business. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.[64]
SmartThings – home automation
On 14 August 2014, Samsung acquired SmartThings, a fast-growing home
automation startup. The company did not release the acquisition price, but
TechCrunch reported a $200 million pricetag when it first caught word of the deal in
July 2014.[65]
Quietside – U.S. air conditioner firm
On 19 August 2014, Samsung said it had acquired U.S. air conditioner distributor
Quietside LLC as part of its push to strengthen its "smart home" business. A Samsung
Electronics spokesman said the South Korean company acquired 100 percent of
Quietside, but declined to elaborate on the price or other details.[66]
Proximal Data – data virtualization
3 November 2014, Samsung announced it had acquired Proximal Data, Inc., a San
Diego, California-based pioneer of server-side caching software with I/O intelligence
that work within virtualized systems.[67]

Financial scandals
In 2007, former Samsung chief lawyer Kim Yong Chul claimed that he was involved in
bribing and fabricating evidence on behalf of the group's chairman Lee Kun-hee and the
company. Kim said that Samsung lawyers trained executives to serve as scapegoats in a
"fabricated scenario" to protect Lee, even though those executives were not involved. Kim
also told the media that he was "sidelined" by Samsung after he refused to pay a $3.3 million
bribe to the U.S. Federal District Court judge presiding over a case where two of their
executives were found guilty on charges related to memory chip price fixing. Kim revealed
that the company had raised a large amount of secret funds through bank accounts illegally
opened under the names of up to 1,000 Samsung executives—under his own name, four
accounts were opened to manage 5 billion won.[154]

Antitrust concerns

"You can even say the Samsung chairman is more powerful than the President of South
Korea. [South] Korean people have come to think of Samsung as invincible and above the
law", said Woo Suk-hoon, host of a popular economics podcast in a Washington Post article
headlined "In South Korea, the Republic of Samsung", published on 9 December 2012.
Critics claimed that Samsung knocked out smaller businesses, limiting choices for South
Korean consumers, and sometimes colluded with fellow giants to fix prices while bullying
those who investigate. Lee Jung-hee, a South Korean presidential candidate, said in a debate,
"Samsung has the government in its hands. Samsung manages the legal world, the press, the
academics and bureaucracy".[155]

Viral marketing

The Fair Trade Commission of Taiwan is investigating Samsung and its local Taiwanese
advertising agency for false advertising. The case was commenced after the Commission
received complaints stating that the agency hired students to attack competitors of Samsung
Electronics in online forums.[156] Samsung Taiwan made an announcement on its Facebook
page in which it stated that it had not interfered with any evaluation report and had stopped
online marketing campaigns that constituted posting or responding to content in online
forums.[157]

Labor abuses

Samsung was the subject of several complaints about child labor in its supply chain from
2012 to 2015.

In July 2014, Samsung cut its contract with Shinyang Electronics after it received a complaint
about the company violating child labor laws.[158] Samsung says that its investigation turned
up evidence of Shinyang using underage workers and that it severed relations immediately
per its "zero tolerance" policy for child labor violations.

One of Samsung's Chinese supplier factories, HEG, was criticized for using underage
workers by China Labor Watch (CLW) in July 2014. HEG denied the charges and has sued
China Labor Watch.[159][160]

CLW issued a statement in August 2014 claiming that HEG employed over ten children
under the age of 16 at a factory in Huizhou, Guangdong. The group said the youngest child
identified was 14 years old. Samsung said that it conducted an onsite investigation of the
production line that included one-on-one interviews but found no evidence of child labor
being used. CLW responded that HEG had already dismissed the workers described in its
statement before Samsung's investigators arrived.[158]

CLW also claimed that HEG violated overtime rules for adult workers. CLW said a female
college student was only paid her standard wage despite working four hours of overtime per
day even though Chinese law requires ovetime pay at 1.5 to 2.0 times standard wages.[158]

Price fixing

On 19 October 2011, Samsung companies was fined €145,727,000 for being part of a price
cartel of ten companies for DRAMs which lasted from 1 July 1998 to 15 June 2002. The
companies received, like most of the other members of the cartel, a 10-% reduction for
acknowledging the facts to investigators. Samsung had to pay 90% of their share of the
settlement, but Micron avoided payment as a result of having initially revealed the case to
investigators.[161]

In Canada, during 1999, some DRAM micro chip manufacturers conspired to price fix,
among the accused included Samsung. The price fix was investigated in 2002. A recession
started to occur that year, and the price fix ended; however, in 2014, the Canadian
government reopened the case and investigated silently. Sufficient evidence was found and
presented to Samsung and two other manufacturers during a class action lawsuit hearing. The
companies agreed upon a $120 million agreement, with $40 million as a fine, and $80
Million to be paid back to Canadians who purchased a computer, printer, MP3 player,
gaming console or camera from April 1999 to June 2002.[162]
