1. Introduction
Samsung History
With only 30,000 won (about $27 USD), Lee Byung-chill started Samsung on
March 1 in 1938, as a trading company based in Taegu, Korea. The small company
of only 40 employees started as a grocery store, trading and exporting goods
produced in and around the city, like dried Korean fish and vegetables, as well as
its own noodles.
The company grew and soon expanded to Seoul in 1947 but left once the Korean
War broke out. After the war, Lee started a sugar refinery in Busan that was called
ChesilJading, before expanding into textiles and building the (then) largest woolen
mill in Korea.
Samsung entered the electronics industry in the 1960's with the formation of
several electronics focused divisions. The initial electronics divisions included
Samsung Electronics Devices, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Samsung Corning,
and Samsung Semiconductor & Telecommunications. Samsung built their initial
facilities in Suwon, South Korea, in 1970, where they started producing black and
white television sets.
Between 1972 and 1979, Samsung began selling washing machines, changed to
Samsung Petrochemical and then Samsung Heavy Industries, and by 1976, had
sold its 1 millionth B&W television.
In 1977, they started exporting color TVs and established Samsung Construction,
Samsung Fine Chemicals, and Samsung Precision Co. (now called Samsung
TechLink). By 1978, Samsung had sold 4 million black and white television sets
and started mass producing microwave ovens before 1980.
1980 to Present
The mobile phone business was grouped together with Samsung Electronics which
began to invest heavily in research and development throughout the 1980's. During
this time Samsung Electronics expanded to Portugal, New York, Tokyo, England,
and Austin, Texas.
In 1987 with the death of Lee Byung-chill, the Samsung group was separated into
four business groups leaving the Samsung Group with electronics, engineering,
construction, and most high-tech products. Retail, food, chemicals, logistics,
entertainment, paper, and telecom were spun out among the Shinseki Group, CJ
Group, and Hansel Group.
Samsung's focus in the future is centered on five core businesses including mobile,
electronics and biopharmaceuticals. As part of its bio-pharma investment, Samsung
formed a joint venture with Biogen, investing $255 million to provide technical
development and biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacity in South Korea.
Samsung has budgeted nearly $2 billion in additional investment to pursue their
bio-pharma growth strategy and leverage the advantages of their joint venture.
Samsung has also continued to expand in the mobile phone market, becoming the
largest manufacturer of mobile phones in 2012. To remain a dominant
manufacturer, Samsung has earmarked $3-4 billion to upgrade their Austin Texas
semiconductor manufacturing facility.
By 2015, Samsung had more US patents approved than any other company, being
granted over 7,500 utility patents before the end of the year.

Competitors of Samsung
There is no doubt that Samsung is the leader where Smartphones are concerned.
The launch of Google Android has been a blessing for Samsung. Samsung has
truly taken advantage of the Google Android operating system and has some
beautiful handsets which have taken the world by storm.
Some of the widest selling Smartphone series belongs to Samsung. These are
the Samsung Note series, the Samsung Galaxy series as well as the Galaxy
Edge series. Samsung and Apple were the two companies which dethroned the
dominator of the mobile market – Nokia. Although Nokia has made a
comeback, it has come back at a time when Samsung is the king of the
Smartphone world. Will Nokia be able to do the same thing to Samsung? I
doubt it.
Nonetheless, here are the top Samsung competitors, some big and some small.
1. Apple
2. Xiaomi
In 2015, Xiaomi was the world’s 4th largest smartphone maker. Xiaomi is a
privately-owned company operating from China. The best advantage to Xiaomi
is the Asian population which it can cover easily, mainly India and China, two
of the most populated countries in the world. Because of its massive distribution
and production capacity, Xiaomi is the third highest Samsung competitors in
the world.
3. Oppo
Oppo came quite late in the picture, but took away the market share which was
going to Micromax. Oppo left Micromax far behind with its well-designed
smartphones which were value for money. In fact, most distributors which were
purely Micromax players are seen more and more to side with Oppo. Oppo is
also known very well for its well-executed branding strategies at point of
purchase. Oppo is the fourth highest Samsung competitor in the world.
4. Vivo
Another Chinese company with the same advantages as Oppo, but which lacks the
marketing skills of Oppo is Vivo. Vivo started its business in 2009 and because of
its Manufacturing capacity and the wide market at its disposal, capture a good
chunk of the market share very fast. Within 3-4 years, vivo had established itself in
100 countries like China, India, Malaysia and others. It closely follows the
footsteps of Oppo in product design.
Samsung is the world’s number one marketer of mobile phones with 21.4%
of the world’s largest market share in the second quarter of 2015. Apple is
number two with 13.9%[2]
Samsung has impressive research and design capabilities. It was able to create
and roll out Samsung Pay, a payment app with similar capabilities to Apple
Pay, in less than a year. Samsung has been able to replicate many of the
capabilities of both Apple Inc.’s phones and Google Inc.’s Android operating
system for mobile devices.
Weaknesses
Samsung has not been able to match Apple Inc.’s marketing capabilities for
smartphones. Its share of the U.S. smartphone market fell by 2.3% between
2014 and 2015. In contrast, Apple’s share price grew by 34.9%.
Samsung’s devices use the Google Android open source operating system.
Many consumers seem to view Android as an inferior product to Apple’s
iOS. The public has not been as accepting of Android as the tech community
has.
Some consumers view Apple products as more advanced and dependable than
Samsung products.
Opportunities
Growing market for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, especially
in developing regions such as Africa and India, where consumers are
unfamiliar with PCs. Sales of tablets finally overtook sales of traditional
personal computers in 2015.[3]
Growing middle class in developing world will increase market for consumer
electronics.
Growing online market from sales channels such as Amazon.com
Threats:
Apple has emerged as the dominant smartphone and tablet brand in some
markets, such as the United States. Samsung has not been able to overcome
Apple’s reputation for reliability.
The Google Android operating system, which Galaxy devices depend upon, is
not as popular with average people as iOS is.
Apple could enter more consumer products areas such as home appliances
and cameras and directly compete with Samsung in those markets.
New capabilities like Samsung Pay will be critical if this company wants to
maintain its position as an industry leader. Samsung will also need to learn to deal
with aggressive Chinese competitors and Apple’s reputation
Robertson and Langlois (1995) even observed that the most successful firms in
the industry are Intel and Microsoft, both of whom essentially limit their
integration to some strategic alliances, and that many large firms failed
miserably in the business, and even the success of IBM came as the result of
almost completely abandoning its internal capabilities in favor of those of the
market. Here the ability of a decentralized innovative network to generate a
wide diversity of information signals and to move rapidly may be an
overwhelming advantage.
