Samsung utilizes various strategic weapons to compete in the global market and amongst its competitors. By using measures such as revenue, profitability, API (Samsung vs. competitors), BAS (Brand Attitude Studies), DAS (Dealer Attitude Studies) they ensure that they are connected with dealers as well as consumers and by familiarizing themselves with their attitude and behavioral patterns, they can stay on top of the competition.
According to Peter Weedfald, Samsung’s mission is to be the number one provider of digital life-style experience in all the areas including mobile, home, and business products. Marketing, design, support, service, and product image all contribute to the brand success and Samsung throughout the years has actively maintained its superior image by careful marketing and strategic planning. Samsung utilizes MDC (Market Driven Culture) before releasing its final products.

A remarkable example which emerged from the MDC was the release of Samsung’s DLP Televisions. DLP produces an image which is superior to that of plasma and technologies and it is more affordable therefore making it an extremely competitive product.
