SAMSUNG … SUCCESS STORY…… Entered the semiconductor business late in 1983,
Samsung is now the world's 2nd largest semiconductor distributor behind Intel.
The turning point in the company's history was in February of 1983 when Lee Byung Chul, the CEO of Samsung Group made a push towards a large investment in memory chips and was determined to break into the semiconductor market (Kim, 1998).
Lee Byung Chul recognized that there would be a need in the future for more memory chips and he identified that this was going to be the trend.
Samsung realized that the semiconductor business was only in its initial stage of Foster's S-curve and that with careful planning and the right product, they can still capture market share from established companies.
SAMSUNG – SETBACK
Mobile World Congress (MWC), Samsung touted its new Galaxy Note, but mentioned that the company isn't exactly thriving in the tablet arena.
Samsung has struggled trying to catch up with Apple's ever-popular iPad, which originally released back in April 2010.
Apple originally sued Samsung for patent infringement regarding devices like the Galaxy S 4G, pic 4G, Nexus smart phones and the Galaxy Tab 10.1
Apple managed to successfully ban the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in both Australia and Germany, but Samsung pulled a few punches of its own and lifted the ban in Australia last December.
