The Finnish giant was by far the strongest Richmond in the field, controlling a humongous 75% of the Indian mobile handset market by volume.

...Samsung Mobile’s line-up of galaxy phones and tablets has helped the handset maker rally a significant share in a market that is largely dominated by Nokia. Samsung sold 12.6 million galaxy phones in the quarter ended March 2011, boosting its global galaxy phones market share by 7.4 percentage points from the previous year to 12.2 per cent. It now ranks fourth after Nokia, Apple and Research in Motion (RIM). Samsung is only 1.2 percentage points behind RIM and is expected to grab the number three spot in 2011 if it maintains its current growth rate. Advance orders for Samsung’s Galaxy S2, which was released in April 2011, surpassed 3 million units within a week of the launch, posing a threat even to Apple. At this rate, its sales are expected to top 14 million units in the current quarter. India is the fastest growing telecom market in the world and presents an attractive opportunity for handset makers like Samsung. As per a GFK Nielson report, the Indian mobile handset market was pegged at around 155 million units in 2010. With the country adding 20 million mobile customers every month, the mobile device market is expected to grow at over 16 per cent year-on-year. Driven by the launch of 3G services, the galaxy phones market alone is likely to grow at over 50 per cent per...

...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...

...several foreign companies from selling consumer electronics in South Korea in order to protect Samsung from foreign competition. The Samsung Way :- It thrives in low-margin consumer electronics. It favors hardware over software. It's still a conglomerate that makes everything itself. Samsung Electronics has already taken giant steps from its early days as a copycat appliance manufacturer. Now, as a consumer electronics behemoth, it has expanded beyond South Korea and the nation’s industrial, conglomerate-run shipyards, steel mills and auto plants. In the past decade, Samsung Electronics has rocketed past Sony Corp. as the largest maker of flat-panel TVs. It has edged out Hewlett-Packard Co. in color laser printers that scan, fax and copy. It’s also the biggest in other technology-dependent areas such as liquid-crystal-display TVs and computer monitors. No. 2 in mobile phones, Samsung is pushing the Galaxy S smartphone to challenge Apple Inc.’s iPhone and narrow the gap with leader Nokia Oyj. Samsung claimed a 22 percent global mobile-phone share in the first quarter, up from 14.4 percent in 2007, when it overtook Motorola Inc., market researcher Strategy Analytics says. All of this gear has helped Samsung Electronics quadruple annual revenue to 139 trillion won ($116 billion) in the 10 years that ended in 2009. During that time, Samsung Electronics shares rose 10-fold. Samsung Electronics, which supplies 60 percent of its parent’s revenue, will probably invest about 9...
