The company started acquiring and creating different business establishments including a hospital, a paper manufacturing company, Life Insurance Company, department stores and many others. The company was becoming a household name starting in its own country of Korea and spanning its reach to many other cities internationally. Samsung Electronics started catering to the international market in the 1970’s with the corporation’s purchase of half of Korea Semiconductor which made it the leading electronics manufacturer in the country. The company’s excellent quality control process is what makes it successful in providing only the best products to its customers. It uses a line “stop system” where any employee can stop the production line in the event that substandard products are discovered. Currently, Samsung continues to maintain its status as the “world’s best” technology provider. It has a highly qualified workforce that is still striving for excellence in their respective fields making the whole company a huge success. The secret to the company’s continuing success is the constant improvement of its management structure and the application of its philosophies. Environmental Analysis
