...LG Electronics’ Strategic Plan Analysis Greg McMillan TM583 Strategic Management of Technology Professor Woody Wu August 18, 2011 Introduction LG Electronics Inc. founded in 1958 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. The company is a major producer of consumer electronics and has over 70 subsidiaries that manufacture TVs, video and audio products, appliances, refrigerators, wireless phone handsets, air-conditioners, and communications devices. LG Electronics has annual revenue of about 23.8 trillion and employs about 66,600 people. LG Electronics’ mission is to be among the top five electronics brands in the Africa and the Middle East. This vision is simple and clear: venture into new markets and win the consumers by giving what they want. Capturing new markets and providing a strategic direction for all LG Electronics activities in the Middle East and Africa is the main target (Times of Oman, 2006). On the other side, many promising markets like Algeria, Sudan, Angola and some others whose economic power is growing strong are being neglected. LG Electronics is focusing again to regain those markets. The company will use a new marketing strategy such as using power retailers instead of using traditional channels of marketing like using dealers. Traditional dealers are losing their power whereas the power retailers are gaining market share like Carrefour (Times of Oman, 2006). The company is looking to achieve a turnover of $6 billion, to increase...

One year early, in 2009, the company achieved its goal. Meanwhile, revenue has jumped from $5.6 billion in 2004 to more than $13 billion in 2010. Michael Ahn guided the branding effort for LG Electronics North America before stepping down as regional president and CEO last year to become a senior adviser at LG Electronics USA. In a recent conversation with Knowledge@Wharton, Ahn -- who was visiting the University of Pennsylvania to make a speech as part of the Wharton Leadership Lecture series -- named patience, consumer-targeted marketing and achieving synergy among the firm's different divisions as the factors catapulting LG Electronics from a relatively obscure maker of commodity goods to a premium global brand.

Submitted to: Mr. Francis Arroyo January 9, 2016 HOMEPLUS: RIDING THE KOREAN RETAILING ROLLER COASTER Problem Statement How can Homeplus address the current conflict against Korea’s small store owners while continuously developing the company’s economic growth and performance? Objectives To maintain Homeplus’ growth and competitive strength, taking into consideration the various changes in the Korean retail market (e.g. proposed regulatory bills). Brief Description of the Case Tesco, a multinational retail giant from Britain, engaged in a joint venture with Samsung Group during the late 1990s in order to enter Korea's competitive retail industry. The new brand was called Homeplus and its management implemented various policies aimed at localizing the business while also introducing business practices from Tesco's British headquarters. Homeplus was the first retailing company to introduce the supply chain management system and to develop two different products that would cater the preference of the various income level earners. The company invested in growth and diversification through large discount stores offering an “all in one spot” shopping experience, small-sized-super-supermarkets, private brands, and online shopping. The secrets to Tesco’s success are its undying drive to provide value to customers...

Overall Status of the Display Industry 1. Overall Status of the Display Industry Flat-Panel Display (FPD) Market and Technologies ·The flat-panel display (FPD) market is growing based on the competitiveness of three major technologies: thin-film transistor-liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD), plasma display panels (PDP) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). ·TFT-LCD has the largest market. The technology dominates the market, as it can be used in different types of applications, ranging from small devices including mobile phones to large appliances including televisions. ·PDP differs from LCD in that it does not need back light because it is self-luminous. Its use is limited to large applications such as televisions because the technology cannot be applied to small devices. It consumes more electricity than LCD. ·OLED is also self-luminous, and its use is limited to small devices such as mobile phones, as research is still underway to apply the technology to larger devices. OLED is lighter and consumes less electricity than LCD. It has great potential due to its simple structure and focus on materials, and it is praised as the foundation for flexible display, which is expected to lead the future. OLED is drawing attention...

...AN INNOVATION STRATEGY FOR LG ELECTRONICS Thanks to the continuous technological innovation of handsets, the rise of mobile phones has been nothing short of phenomenal and the trend is expected to continue in the years to come (Frost & Sullivan, 2006). Their continued success is down to the fact that today’s handsets have become much more than simply mobile phones. A mobile phone can function as a camera, PDA and has many other features such as gaming functions and access to the Internet. Based on 3G, broadband is also paving the way for video-telephony and TV viewing. Characterised by continuous change and innovation, the mobile phone industry then sets an exciting stage for devising an innovation strategy. Our focus will be on mobile phone manufacturer LG. LG Electronics, Inc. is in fact a consumer electronics company with two other business units (Digital Display & Media and Digital Appliances), besides the Handset unit we will focus on in our report. On a global scale, LG’s handset division is 5th in terms of market share based on handset revenue, behind Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson (see Appendix 1). Despite not being in the ‘Big Four’, LG’s market position is that of a strong challenger considering the many other ‘me too’ competitors that exist (e.g. NEC, Sanyo), but who fail to register in consumers’ minds. LG’s achievement can be seen to be mainly due to the success of their ‘Black’ series with popular models such as ‘Chocolate’ and ‘Shine’. Industry...

...lectronics Case Study 3 LG Electronics: Global strategy in emerging markets Suggested case discussion questions Q1 Explain how LG’s experience within its domestic market (South Korea) influenced how it expanded into the BRIC emerging economies All MNCs are shaped, to some degree, by their domestic markets. In LG’s case, its emergence in Korea during the decades following the Second World War strongly affected its ability to expand into the BRIC economies. The domestic Korean market was highly competitive, which helped hone its ability to enact “come from behind” approaches in other locations as it was used to having to fight its way to the top. The Korean Government placed strong emphasis on R&D within LG’s home economy, which had a double-effect on it. First, the importance of high quality R&D enabling quick and effective localization of products and services was always central to its approach to expanding its presence within the emerging economies – this runs counter to much perceived wisdom that suggests emerging economies do not have infrastructure to support such a policy. Second, it built on its experience of working with governments, which it then displayed most effectively in Brazil. The Korean Government encouraged foreign direct investment which saw LG partner with Hitachi of Japan, again, allowing it to develop valuable partnership experience that would be brought to bear on joint ventures within emerging economies. Lastly, emerging within an economically...

...CASE OF LG GROUP: DEVELOPING TOMORROWS GLOBAL LEADERS There is no company which is resistant to environmental changes, especially business environment. As the year comes by, new inventions or innovation will absolutely give impact on every type of business in the world. However, the causes of the impact, in other words, the root of the changes in the environment is not merely coming from company external territory; in most cases the impacts (either negative or positive) can come from external territory and internal territory of the company. This written analysis focuses on the LG Group’s Chairman Koo who once stated and defined his vision for the LG group to develop and improve significantly and to be a leading company in its local market area (Korea) and the wider market scope, international market and increase its revenue significantly within 7 years period. This is known as “LEAP 2005”. Even though is not an easy task to do, he is much certain that the group can do that. He considers the past performance of the group and the major internal changes within the company will enable it to achieve what its chairman wants. The main key success, as the management agrees, lies on the future leaders of the group. There are several questions that arise as the result of the discussion between the management in relation with this key point, namely where and how to find these future leaders, what capabilities of competencies these leaders should possess how to develop these key competencies...
