Samsung
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samsung (Hangul: ; Hanja:


; Korean
pronunciation: [sams]) is a South Korean
multinational conglomerate company headquartered in
Samsung Town, Seoul.[1] It comprises numerous
subsidiaries and 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 globalized its activities
and electronics; in particular, its mobile phones and
semiconductors have become its most important source
of income.
Notable Samsung industrial subsidiaries include
Samsung Electronics (the world's largest information
technology company measured by 2012 revenues, and
4th in market value),[3] Samsung Heavy Industries (the
world's 2nd-largest shipbuilder measured by 2010
revenues),[4] and Samsung Engineering and Samsung
C&T (respectively the world's 13th and 36th-largest
construction companies).[5] Other notable subsidiaries
include Samsung Life Insurance (the world's
14th-largest life insurance company),[6] Samsung
Everland (operator of Everland Resort, the oldest theme
park in South Korea)[7] and Cheil Worldwide (the
world's 15th-largest advertising agency measured by
2012 revenues).[8][9]
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".[10][11] Its affiliate companies produce
around a fifth of South Korea's total exports.[12]
Samsung's revenue was equal to 17% of South Korea's
$1,082 billion GDP.[13]

History
1938 to 1970
In 1938, Lee Byung-chull (19101987) of a large landowning family in the Uiryeong county moved to
nearby Daegu city and founded Samsung Sanghoe (, ). Samsung started out as a small
trading company with forty employees located in Su-dong (now Ingyo-dong).[15] It dealt in dried-fish,[16]
locally-grown groceries and made 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.
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.
President Park Chung Hee placed great importance on
industrialization. He focused his economic development strategy on
a handful of large domestic conglomerates, protecting them from
competition and assisting them financially.[17]

The headquarters of Sanghoes in


Daegu in the late 1930s

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.[18][19]
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.

1970 to 1990
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.[21] 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 groupsSamsung Group, Shinsegae
The SPC-1000, introduced in 1982,
Group, CJ Group and the Hansol Group.[22] Shinsegae (discount
was Samsung's first personal
store, department store) was originally part of Samsung Group,
computer (Korean market only) and
separated in the 1990s from the Samsung Group along with CJ
used an audio cassette tape to load
Group (Food/Chemicals/Entertainment/logistics), and the Hansol
and save data the floppy drive was
Group (Paper/Telecom). Today these separated groups are
optional[20]
independent and they are not part of or connected to the Samsung
Group.[23] 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".[23]
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.[24][25]

1990 to 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.[26] 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).[27] 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 December 26, 2011, it was announced that Samsung had acquired the stake of
Sony in this joint venture.[28]
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 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.[29]

2000 to 2015
In 2000, Samsung opened a computer programming laboratory in Warsaw, Poland. Its work began with
set-top-box technology before moving into digital TV and smartphones. As of 2011, the Warsaw base is
Samsung's most important R&D center in Europe, forecast to be recruiting 400 new-hires per year by the
end of 2013.[30]
In 2010, Samsung announced a ten-year growth strategy
centered around five businesses.[31] One of these businesses
was to be focused on biopharmaceuticals, to which the company
has committed 2,100,000,000,000.[32]
In December 2011, Samsung Electronics sold its hard disk drive
business to Seagate.[33]
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.[34][35] On
21 August's edition of the Austin American-Statesman,
Samsung confirmed plans to spend 3 to 4 billion dollars

converting half of its Austin chip manufacturing plant to a more profitable chip.[36] The conversion should
start in early 2013 with production on line by the end of 2013. On 14 March 2013, Samsung unveiled the
Galaxy S4.
On August 24, 2012, nine American jurors ruled that Samsung 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.[37] Samsung decried the decision saying that the move could harm innovation in the sector.[38] It also
followed a South Korean ruling stating that both companies were guilty of infringing on each other's
intellectual property.[39] 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.[40] 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[41] which has been
denied by the court.[42]
On September 4, 2012, Samsung announced that it plans to examine all of its Chinese suppliers for possible
violations of labor policies. The company said it will carry out audits of 250 Chinese companies that are its
exclusive suppliers to see if children under the age of 16 are being used in their factories.[43]
In 2013, a New Zealand news outlet reported a number of Samsung washing machines spontaneously
catching on fire.[44] The corporation is expected to spend $14 billion on advertising and marketing in 2013,
with publicity appearing in TV and cinema ads, on billboards and at sports and arts events. In November
2013, the corporation was valued at $227 billion.[45]
In May 2014, Samsung announced it will be shutting down its streaming service on 1 July 2014, also
meaning the end of the Samsung Music Hub app that typically comes installed on its Android phones.[46]
On September 3, 2014, Samsung announced Gear VR, a virtual reality device in collaboration with Oculus
VR and developed for the Galaxy Note 4.[47]
In October 2014, Samsung announced a $14.7 billion investment to build a chip plant in South Korea.
Construction will begin next year with production beginning in 2017. The company has not yet decided the
type of chips to be produced.[48]
In October 2014, Samsung also announced it would invest 633 billion South Korean won ($560 million
USD) in the construction of a new 700,000 square metre production complex in Vietnam.[49]
Samsung plans to launch a new set of services beginning early 2015. The goal of this new suite of business
offerings, dubbed Samsung 360 Services, is to become a help desk of sorts for businesses IT departments.
The customizable services range from technical support to security solutions for having a Samsung
employee embedded in a client's business as an on-site support manager or technology consultant.[50]
On December 2, 2014, Samsung announced it will sell Fiber Optics to U.S. speciality glass manufacturer
Corning Inc.[51]
Samsung Electronics Inc. is expanding in Silicon Valley with a $300 million facility in San Jose, California.
The 10-story complex will include 1.1 million square feet of floor space, a clean room for semiconductors
and a "fitness center in the sky". The facility will be split between semiconductor research and development
and other sales and marketing functions. It will serve as the North America headquarters for semiconductor
operations.[52]
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 Dec. 11.[53]

2016
In January 2016, Samsung announced it will be working with Microsoft to develop IoT devices based on
Windows 10, where the companies will work together to develop products that will run on the platform, as
well as integrate with other companies developing hardware and services on Microsoft's OS.[54]
Samsung released a fitness smartwatch called the Gear Fit 2 and a brand of wireless earbuds called Gear
Icon X.[55]

Acquisitions and attempted acquisitions


Samsung has made the following acquisitions and attempted acquisitions:[56]
Rollei Swiss watch battle
Samsung Techwin acquired German camera-maker 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.
[57][58] In 1999, Rollei management bought out the company.[59]
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 partnersHyundai,
Hanjin and Daewoonotified the South Korean government that they would not join Samsung
Aerospace Industries.[60]
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.[61]
FUBU clothing and apparel
In 1992, American fashion entrepreneur Daymond John had 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.[62]
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.[63]

Litigation and regulatory issues


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 executivesunder his own name, four accounts were opened to
manage 5 billion won.[160]

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".[161]

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.[162] 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.[163]

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.[164] 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.[165][166]
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.[164]
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.[164]

Price fixing
On October 19, 2011, Samsung 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 company 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.[167]
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.[168]
