Innovations And History of Samsung
I think it is time to introduce the history of samsung in mobile industry. Introducing samsung itself goes beyond the scope of our view, since we have to go through their starting point.
But since it is necessary to see where samsung came from, let me go briefly (only in electronics-related companies among samsung group). In 1938, Byungchul Lee started his business with 30thousand won (equivalent to nowadays 20$) in Taegu of Korea. Considering that korea at that time was extremely rural and low end market, probably one of the poorest country at that time in Asia. In 1969, samsung electronics was established. In 1969, Samsung Sanyo electricity was established 1973 Samsung Sanyo Pitts established 1973 Samsung Coning established 1977 Samsung buys Korea semicontductor 1977 Samsung electronics starts its first export of color TV to the US 1977 Samsung establishes Samsung semiconductor and absorbes korea semiconductor 1977samsung micron established. 1980 samsung buys korea electronics telecom and establishes samsung semiconductor telecom 1982 Samsung integral advanced institute of technology was established 1983 samsung semiconductor telecom developes the nation's first 64K D ram 1985 Samsung Data system was established.

30thousand won (equivalent to nowadays 20$)
What??? Do you imagine that the value of money remains unchanged??? For your information, in 1935 Korea 30,000 won (actually, yen) was a huge amount of money. The unskilled wokrer's monthly wage was 30 (thirty) yen. A Japanese clerk in the colonial aministration could get about 100 yen a month, and a successful medical doctor of lawyer could gross up to 500 yen (following your logic, Korean - or, rather, ethnic Japanese - doctor in 1935 had to survive on 40 cents a month!). I do not remember the then current exchange rates, but it's definitely closer to US$20,000 (1935 dollars, not 2004 dollars) than to $20. If measured by the average salaries, this is rough equivalent to $1.5 million, not to $20. Like all other founders of Korean conglomerate (Hyundai Chong Chu-yong being a rare exception), Lee came from a very rich family who decided to invest into something new, instead of good old tradition of buying more land and squeezing more rent from shareholders. He was brilliant (if 100% corrupt) guy, a real rober baron, but he was not a self-made-man |

passerby, 30,000 won at that time was enough to buy a nice house(just a house), no more or less. Right now 30,000 is a really small money in Korea. You can only buy 30 cheap pens. Or you need 600,000 won to buy a proper phone. So you can imagine how small 30,000 is(starting from a house), and how much advance that samsung has made. From a value of a house to the world class group with 500 companies and 12 submersive groups (each with around 100 companies). I cannot imagine being in the headquarter's top office where it is governing totally about 1000 different companies. (including samsung electronics)
He was defintely not the self-made-man. But it is still remarkable to start a company during the japanese colonization and then become bigger than most of them. But, I must respect Chong Chu-yong, who started from "Nothing" and became a bigger conglomerate than samsung (Not now, though...) Being separated into 10 different groups, Hyundai is still one of the top conglomerate along with LG Samsung and Lotte.  |
