We say Bill Gates, we mean Microsoft. Richard Branson - Virgin. Sergey Brin - Google. Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook. The list is endless. Founders of companies, as a rule, not only determine the development strategy, but also become part of the corporate brand and image. But besides the dozens of charismatic billionaires whose names sound as loud as the names of the companies they founded, there are dozens of other billionaires whose names are overshadowed by their brands. As a rule, these are heirs in the second or third generation, they no longer have the charisma of their enterprising ancestors, and their assets are managed by hired managers.

Samsung is a whole industrial concern. The giant was founded back in 1938.

1938 Korean entrepreneur Lee Byung-chol manages to register the Samsung Trading Company trademark. Initially, his company was exporting rice, sugar and dry fish from Korea to China and Manchuria.

Samsung's name is not Korean. Lee Byungchol named his venture because he had far-reaching plans. At the onset of the 50s, the ambitious Korean planned to develop partnerships with the countries of North America.

During World War II, when American troops landed in Europe, Samsung began supplying rice vodka and beer to the American military. However, the fierce Korean War that erupted in the 1950s stalled the company's growth. The alcohol business was shut down, and many factories were simply destroyed.

Revival

After the end of the Korean War, the new government began to implement large-scale economic reforms. In order to raise the country's economy, it was decided to provide the largest entrepreneurs with state orders. They were also provided with huge tax and legal benefits. It was during this period that such Korean giants as Daewoo, Hyundai, Goldstar (LG) were created.

Each company had its own specialization. Daewoo was engaged in the production of cars, Hyundai in construction, Samsung began to manufacture electronics, LG was engaged in the production of various electronics.

The company made another breakthrough when, in 1969, after merging with Sanyo, it began to produce the first black and white televisions. At that time, only 2% of Koreans had TVs at home.

The merger of the two companies became the basis for the creation of a large division - Samsung Electronics.

However, already in the 80s the company had to go through a major crisis. The economic downturn of the eighties nearly cost the company a collapse.

Samsung had to get rid of several non-core divisions, as well as reduce the number of subsidiaries.

Big changes

The next chapter in the history of the company began with the arrival of a new leader - Lee Hong Hee. He proposed a wide range of reforms, which involved a complete restructuring of the company and a change in all management fundamentals.

The company was also expecting a complete change in the field of marketing. The company strategy and logo were completely revised. It was then that the world saw the modern Samsung logo.

Today, to all students who are studying to be advertisers, they speak of Samsung's rebranding as one of the most successful in history. A stunning design and a large-scale advertising campaign around the world did their job. Now the Samsung logo is considered the most recognizable in the world.

In 1983, the company started manufacturing personal computers. In 1992 - 1993, the company's developers completed work on the first personal mobile devices.

According to marketing research conducted by international agencies, Samsung is in 21st place in terms of total brand value. The Samsung brand is valued at nearly $ 17 billion.

The Samsung Group has many business units that focus on microelectronics manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, construction, and more.

The structure of the company consists in a complete (closed) production cycle of various electronics.

According to research, Samsung ranks first in the United States in terms of sales mobile phones... The company is a leader in the European mobile phone market and is ahead of its main competitor Swedish company Nokia.

Samsung is a group of companies founded in 1938 in South Korea. It is known in the world market as a manufacturer of household appliances, electronics and components. Samsung's businesses include electronics, shipbuilding, finance, chemistry, entertainment, and even aircraft.

Samsung's history began in the early 1930s. Entrepreneur Lee Byung Chol started his own rice flour business, and it is from his first warehouse in Daegu that the company's history begins. With all the difficulties of private enterprise in Korea, which at that time was a Japanese colony, Lee Ben Chol was able by 1938 to establish his own sales channel from Korea to China and Manchuria. The active development of the supply of food products such as rice, sugar and dried fish made it possible to officially register the Samsung Trading Company.

After the Korean War, due to the growth of the Korean economy, the structure of Samsung has changed. The merger of Sanyo and Samsung marked the beginning of one of the largest sectors of the Samsung Group - Samsung Electronics. Approaches in marketing were changed, the mission of the company was revised and its symbol was changed. The first two logos of the company featured three red stars. Samsung's management considered the former logo inappropriate to the image of an international corporation. Then the modern emblem appeared, which is the well-known dynamically inclined blue ellipse with the name written inside.

In 1983, the production of personal computers was opened.

In 1991-1992, the development of the first line of mobile phones was completed.

In 1999, Samsung Electronics was awarded the Forbes magazine Global in the consumer electronics industry.

Today Samsung Group includes many divisions that are responsible for various areas of activity. More than 70% of the group's sales are in electronics. Companies in this division include: Samsung SDI, Samsung SDS, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Samsung Networks, Samsung Electronics.

7 years ago

It is simply impossible to imagine that some of the Russians have not heard about the Samsung Group. This industrial concern has long gained fame as a manufacturer of high-tech components, telecommunications equipment, household appliances, audio and video devices.

Samsung, founded back in 1938 in South Korea by entrepreneur Lee Byung Chul, has gained recognition from buyers all over the world over the years. Samsung in translation means "three stars". And this trade mark, registered in 1948, flaunted on the first two logos.

However, Samsung Electronics entered the semiconductor market and began to grow rapidly as a member of the high-tech industry only in 1969. As a result, Samsung has grown from a small family-owned rice flour business to a global corporation.

The main enterprises of Samsung Electronics in South Korea are located in Gumi and Suwon. We can say that enterprises in these cities are city-forming. However, some experts, not without reason, believe that enterprises are so large that they are cities in themselves. And a conveyor belt works non-stop at these enterprises. They produce high-quality products around the clock, in three shifts and seven days a week.

It must be admitted that for the Russian consumer, the Samsung concern is, first of all, all kinds of electronics. Samsung is in the electronics industry and is currently developing very actively. In the sense that under the Samsung brand, displays, mobile devices, telecommunications systems, household electronic devices, IT solutions, digital photographic equipment, semiconductors and LCD monitors are produced and sent to all ends of the planet.

All this product in the widest range can be bought in Russian stores. In addition to the electronics industry, Samsung Group is also engaged in a number of other industries: chemical, finance and insurance, heavy industry.

In addition to these industries, Samsung Group companies operate in several other industries. For example, in construction, automotive, shipbuilding, medicine and light industry. Their contribution to the concern's turnover is not large, but it must be admitted that some of these companies are very noticeable in their markets.
