Strategy Adoption

ust a few years ago Samsung was struggling to catch up in the smartphone market. Now it makes more of them than anybody else and has Apple on the back foot, in addition to being the worlds largest technology company by revenue. It has boosted its profile and being listed as 21st valuable brands in the world. Samsung is better than anybody else at learning from its competitors. Theyre very attuned to what competitors are doing and what other people are bringing to market first and observing what seems to be gaining traction, then very rapidly coming up with their own version of

that innovation. The company pivots and produces quickly, coming out with a variety of devices. It sees what the market responds to, pushes successes, and kills failures. And now, rather than just providing a cheaper and lesser phone, its differentiated itself with larger screens, different features, successful marketing, and delivering what consumers want. Samsung seems to be more willing and able to put their money to use. Samsungs research spend is 5.7 percent of its revenue, compared to 2.4 percent for Apple.

dends, allowing it to compete on price and increasingly, offer features Apple hasnt gotten to. Although, many would argue that Apple chooses not to include certain features Samsung offers. By providing good products in affordable price, Samsung managed to reach every aspects of their customers. Thats certainly been the case for its flagship Galaxy phones. Samsungs advertising push has been absolutely massive.

In the U.S., where the iPhone is still pretty dominant, last year the company increased its advertising budget five-fold, to $401 million from $78 million.

Based on Price and Place

divide their markets into a few sections with similar features, so that they can target different groups of consumers and produce merchandise or service for them.

being a mobile phone importing company in Bangladesh focuses on urban area as well rural area, for example, the Samsung Galaxy young in rural area and urban area of Bangladesh. This segment involves mass market, low- and medium-end units to rural customers or high-end products to urban customers. To deal with an extensive product line, a mass market capacitates Samsung to satisfy consumer needs. Because Samsung enters Bangladeshs market late, it faces challenges to be succeeded in mass market. Furthermore, the rural market, which is approximately 80% of the whole market, is aimed by Samsung via the low-end units. However, because of the previous businesses of low-cost, low-end hansets, Samsung had to exploit a new high-end smartphones like Samsung Galaxy s4 in urban market. With the remarkable improvement of peoples living standard, the quantity of high-end smartphones in urban market in Bangladesh is increasing though the segment is not big.

S
amsung Electronics Co. (SEC) of Seoul, Korea, is perfecting its fundamental approach to product, process and personnel development by using Six Sigma as a tool for innovation, efficiency and quality. SEC was founded in 1969 and sold its first product, a television receiver, in 1971. Since that time, the company has used tools and techniques such as total quality control, total process management, product data management,enterprise resource management, supply chain management and customer relationship management. Six Sigma was added to upgrade these existing innovations and improve SECs competitive position in world markets. The financial benefits made possible by Six Sigma, including cost savings and increased profits from sales and new product development, are expected to approach $19.4 billion by the end of 2013.

Strategic Objective

SEC wants to be a borderless, global brand that is a household word wherever its products and services are available. SECs strategic objective is to create both qualitative and quantitative growth and deliver competitive value to all stakeholderscustomers, partners and shareholderswhile maintaining profitability. The objective is focused on the value chain of the companys four major businesseshome, mobile and office networks and core components. The emphasis is on creating a solid framework for these businesses by optimizing the supply chain to make operations as efficient and timely as possible. To achieve the goal of efficiency and timeliness, SEC has integrated Six Sigma into its entire business process (see Figure 1, p. 15). SEC saw the universal adoption of Six Sigma throughout the companys 16 businesses worldwide as the way to perfect its fundamental approach to product, process and personnel development.

When implemented strategically, Six Sigma

can help companies turn over working capital faster, reduce capital spending, make existing capacity available and new capacity unnecessary, and produce even better results from the design and R&D functions. Such outcomes also foster a working environment that stimulates employee development, motivation, morale, empowerment and commitment, leading to increased opportunities for promotions. The four factors that have made Six Sigma successful throughout Samsungs international operations and culture are: Strong proactive support with required resources provided by top management. Acceptance and implementation of Six Sigmas basic disciplines by employees. Linkage with all innovative and infrastructure activities. Accurate and fair evaluation of all successful Six Sigma projects, with meaningful recognition and rewards for employees. A flattening of SECs organizational structure, making it much easier for key decisions to be made at lower levels, was another factor contributing to Samsungs successes from Six Sigma. BBs and MBBs are encouraged to act as change agents. Career development paths for these internal experts are evaluated

continually to ensure a win-win alignment of individuals with company goals. Six Sigmas role in improving development and manufacturing operations has been well-documented. But not many people realize Six Sigma is making a major impact in a wide range of new functions and processes. These include transactional activities such as completing an invoice, designing procedures to improve cycle time and improving processes in human resources, accounting, business planning, sales, call centers and customer services. In fact, all business processes are candidates for Six Sigma. Samsungs finance and marketing people have begun to embrace it. One reason this wider range of employees can participate in Six Sigma is that advanced computer software is making statistical tools easier to use.
