...Introduction Our group selected to analyze Samsung Electronics, the division of Samsung, and its one of the most popular cellphones, Samsung Galaxy Note 2. We will analyze our product from four parts, including description of the company and product, situational analysis, environmental scan and segmentation/targeting, and marketing mix 4P’s. Part 1: Company/Product Description of Company and Its Product Samsung Group is a South Korean multinational conglomerate company founded in 1938, which is diversified into many areas including fashion, electronics, construction, medicine and more (Samsung, 2014). But now, Samsung Electronics, particularly mobile phones, have become one its most important source of income. On September 26, 2012, Samsung Electronics released its brand new product - Galaxy Note 2, which was sold more than 30 million units as of September 25, 2013 (Smith, 2013). Description of the Reasons to Choose Company and Its Product There are two reasons we want to choose Samsung Galaxy Note 2. First, Samsung Electronics leads the global market in high-tech electronic manufacturing and digital media. Samsung not only has significant influence on South Korea economy as the largest South Korea chaebol (business conglomerate), but also is the world’s largest information technology company measured by 2012 revenues, and 4th in market value (Danka & Shibaloy, 2012).

...History Samsung Group is currently a multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul. In 1938 when Samsung was founded in Daegu (Korea), it was initially a trading company, selling dried Korean fish, vegetables, and fruit to Manchuria and Beijing. (Samsung) Just after a little more than a decade, it owned flour mills and confectionery machines and began its own manufacturing and sales operations. During the 1970s, Samsung (for the first time) began exporting electronic products, and in 1978, Samsung Semiconductor and Samsung Electronics became separate entities. Soon after in the 1980s, they increased their focus on technology and this had led to the creation of the company’s 2 research and development (R&D) institutes. However, after the death of their founder Lee Byung-chul, it was segmented into 4 independent business groups. By the 1990s, Samsung became more globalized and their best sources of revenue came from their mobile phones and semiconductors. Business Portfolio Samsung Corporation is a multinational conglomerate company with operations in almost every country. Often, they have products or services that are available in a huge number of countries and an example is the initial launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. It was initially sold in 110 countries and over time it expanded to total of 155 countries in cooperation with 327 partners (Yarow, 2013). It also serves organisations and almost every segment of consumers regardless...

...“Inspire the world, Create the future.” 1.0 Executive Summery Samsung Electronics has proven to the business world that they are one of the most prestigious technology companies in the industry. With more technology advancements than our market can handle at this point and time, Samsung has paved the way for the future in electronics. One of the most popular new “toys” in the market today, is the unbelievable 3D TV. The first 3D TV was launched in March of 2010, and has already had a major impact on the market. With the release earlier this year, Samsung dominated the market, controlling nearly 90% of the total share. Samsung’s product, the 9000 series TV, is incomparable to competition with its ultra-thin screen, measuring only 0.3 inches in width. The 9000 series also comes with a full color spectrum that makes for an incredible viewing experience. Although Samsung is dominating the 3D market, we still have very detailed strategies and tactics that we believe will give us an increased competitive advantage over our competition. The company’s main emphasis the past couple years has been on integration, union, and encouraging innovation. Samsung is always preparing for the next big item to hit the market, which is why their technology is so far ahead of all leading competitors. In the future, we plan to enter the 3D video gaming market with a partnership with Microsoft. This will give us access to all of Microsoft’s gaming technology, in which we will combine with our quality...

...SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS: GLOBAL MARKETING OPERATION I. Problem Samsung is trying to create a corporate marketing strategy that will effectively catapult the brand to the forefront of the global electronics industry. The goal is to surpass Sony and to become a premium global brand where consumers consistently view Samsung as a must-have valuable brand. II. Alternatives/Recommendations i. Advertising Campaign. It is wise to administer both a global campaign and a segmented one. The DigitAll global advertising campaign doesn’t seem to be enough to effectively increase market share. It is the kind of campaign that doesn’t necessarily make sales increase, but simply increases awareness. Instead, Samsung needs to create a campaign that educates consumers of what the brand stands for and represents. The marketing message should emphasize the company’s values on quality, innovation, and linkage of all of Samsung’s offerings. Quality within the Samsung products needs to be advertised giving proof of high consumer reports, product comparisons, and expert reviews. Print campaigns could highlight the fact that the company puts a large majority of its resources on its human capital and their ability to innovate. This makes the company a desirable place to work for and puts a higher value on the brand name. * Low prices shouldn’t be a part of the promotion campaign. The price will be shown on the shelf, and serves as a low-risk invite for a first-time buyer. Although in...

...Company overview: Samsung is a South Korean multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul. It comprises numerous subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand and is the largest South Korean chaebol (business conglomerate). Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-Chul in 1938 as a trading company. Over the next three decades, the group diversified into areas including food processing, textiles, insurance, securities, and retail. Samsung entered the electronics industry in the late 1960s and the construction and shipbuilding industries in the mid-1970s; these areas would drive its subsequent growth. Following Lee's death in 1987, Samsung was separated into four business groups – Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group, CJ Group and Hansol Group.

...La marca Apple como un ejemplo del éxito de un modelo de marketing e internacionalización En años recientes, un nuevo fenómeno ha entrado en nuestro estilo de vida, y ha cambiado la manera en que hacemos cosas en la vida cotidiana, que se llama la tecnología. El desarrollo de la tecnología ha producido un impacto tan masivo, que las compañías han tenido que adaptar sus productos para que no se tornen obsoletos con rapidez. La marca Apple ha entendido esta transformación y por ello, ha lanzado productos novedosos que atraigan más a la gente. En este ensayo, hablaré sobre las medidas que Apple está usando para convertirse en una marca que ha logrado un éxito rotundo. Primeramente, tenemos que considerar los factores del marketing que Apple utiliza. Hay evidencia de que Apple se ha concentrado en el aspecto de 'producto' y eso se puede observar en sus productos de lujo y alta calidad que tienen características que ningún otro objeto poseía. Por ejemplo, su estilo compacto es una herramienta que en mi opinión, es su principal diferenciador. Tal es el caso del iPhone, con el cual las posibilidades de lo que podemos hacer con sus aplicaciones en solo un objeto son infinitas; llamar, jugar, escribir, navegar por Internet. Por esta razón, podríamos decir que Apple fue la empresa que aprovechó de la oportunidad de lanzar una nueva marca al mercado y posteriormente, la compañía se dio cuenta que la gente pagaban más dinero con el afán de poseer sus productos en lugar de los...

...compañía de tecnología ha distribuido su primer dividendo desde el año 1995. Este dividendo representaría unos 2.500 millones de dólares. El julio del año pasado, la administración de la compañía acepto la propuesta de ofrecer un dividendo de 2,65 dólares por cada acción de las 973 millones con las que cuentan. Este dividendo, el primero en 17 años, será distribuido trimestralmente. La estrategia de la gigantesca compañía es promover la compra de acciones que perdieron tras el fallecimiento del cofundador, Steve Jobs. Aquellas acciones que perdieron estarían valoradas en 10.000 millones de dólares. Dicho dividendo se estima distribuirse hasta al menos el año 2015. Así mismo, según información revelada a causa del litigio de Apple contra Samsung en base a patentes, se han causado rumores de que en el 2015 Apple podría lanzaría su iCar. El carro de Apple tendría una computadora abordo, la asistencia de Siri, y una cámara que analizaría los gestos del conductor para detectar señales de cansancio. De esta misma manera, la información como la velocidad, el kilometraje, el estado de los fluidos y demás, serán proyectados en el parabrisas. Los espejos laterales del carro también contarían con cámaras que anularían los ángulos muertos y los puntos ciegos y la carrocería estaría fabricada con materiales especiales. Más aún, después de unas semanas duras para las acciones de Apple, se ha empezado a ver un alza en el precio de las acciones ya que hay rumores que aseguran que el 12 de setiembre...

...En este trabajo presentare no solo una empresa si no varias empresas que fracasaron por varias causas. SEGA Una de las más grandes compañías de videojuegos de la historia. Durante años la compañía japonesa nos ofreció consolas increíbles y juegos que se convirtieron en clásicos. La Megadrive fue la consola favorita de toda una generación, pero ahí acabó su reinado, compartido durante años con Nintendo. En este casi faltó analizar el producto e innovarlo con tiempo. En 1994 lanzó su consola de 32 bits, la Sega Saturn. Pese a la gran acogida que tuvo en Japón, la Saturn tuvo unas ventas menores en el resto del mundo. La llegada de la Sony Playstation y decisiones equivocadas en cuanto al hardware. La Saturn era una buena consola, pero era demasiado difícil programar para ella (debido a sus dos procesadores) con lo que la Playstation le acabó por robar a los usuarios, que se decantaron por los juegos de la gris de Sony, que vendió 100 millones de consolas frente a solo 10 por parte de Sega. Para enmendar su error, en 1999 Sega sacó la que probablemente fue su mejor consola, la Dreamcast. Una máquina potente, con multijugador online y un catálogo de juegos espectacular. Pese a vender 36 millones de unidades, tampoco funcionó. La fama que había ganado Sony con su Playstation hizo imposible remontar a tiempo y en 2001 la compañía anunció oficialmente que renunciaba a seguir fabricando consolas para dedicarse en exclusiva al software. Pese a que ahora desarrolla juegos con bastante...
