Introduction
Samsung Electronics was created in 1969 as a division of the mammoth Korean chaebol Samsung
Group. The unit was established as a means of getting Samsung into the burgeoning television and
consumer electronics industry. The division's first product was a small and simple black-and-
white television that it began selling in the early 1970s. From that product, Samsung Electronics
gradually developed a diverse line of consumer electronics that it first sold domestically, and
later began exporting. The company also began branching out into color televisions, and later
into a variety of consumer electronics and appliances. By the 1980s Samsung was manufacturing,
shipping, and selling a wide range of appliances and electronic products throughout the world.
Between 1977 and 1987 Samsung Group's annual revenues surged from $1.3 billion to
$24 billion (or about 20 percent of South Korea's entire gross domestic product). Much of that
growth was attributable to Samsung Electronics. Byung-Chull Lee died in 1987 and was
succeeded by his son, Kun-Hee Lee. Kun-Hee Lee recognized the importance of the electronics
division and moved quickly to make it the centerpiece of the
Samsung Group. To that end, he consolidated many of the Group's divisions and
eliminated some operations. He also introduced various initiatives designed to improve employee
motivation and product quality. Kun-Hee Lee was credited with stepping up Samsung
Electronics's partnering efforts with foreign companies as part of his goal to put Samsung at the
forefront of semiconductor technology.

Mission and Vision
Samsung mission: a reflection of continuity and change Samsung mission expression has
been crafted to envelope both extant and emerging realities:
To delight and deliver beyond expectation through ingenious strategy, intrepid
entrepreneurship, improved technology, innovative products, insightful marketing and inspired
thinking about the future.
A breakdown of the statement above reveals a means and end approach, where the end is
articulated at the beginning with the means linked to it.
To delight and deliver beyond expectation: the end
This segment not only underlines the importance of the ultimate goal - customer satisfaction
(delight) and ultimate target - the customer, but also of intermediate processes and principals,
Samsung value chain (deliver). As a result of its focus on developing loyal customers and
reliable associates, Videocon is able to exceed expectations.
through ingenious strategy: the means
In the cutthroat world of today, it is only by taking recourse to advance planning and strategy
that a business can hope to survive. Although
textbook strategy has its uses, reproducing it in verbatim for the real world would be foolish
because of the absence of textbook conditions. Thus, there is a need for a bounded rationality, a
-
7/27/2019 Mrinal Project 2

spontaneity and improvisation that is flexible enough for scenarios both imaginable and
unimaginable. Samsung ingenious maneuvers are actually flexi-strategy that abstracts from
shifting ground conditions and decides game-plans, or sometimes changes the rules of the game.
intrepid entrepreneurship: the means
An enterprise with the odds stacked against it makes great business sense. This is because higher
the obstacles lower the number of players likely to be active in that field - thus, fetching
extraordinary returns. The only requirement is a bold and confident attitude willing to brave the
odds. Samsung foray into oil and gas is a bold and intrepid endeavor that arises from immense
faith on the surefooted competence of the companys in-house managerial talent.
improved technology: the means
Technology is no more a premium input; it has become the bare minimum in recent years. Rapid
advances have only fuelled this phenomenon. Samsung is extremely vigilant in shunting out
dated technology and replacing it with the best-in-class offers of the times.
innovative products: the means
Product development, innovation and customisation are the tools Samsung uses to stay ahead of
the competition. This is because a continuous stream of innovative products excites the market
and enhances brand recall. A strategy that Videocon banks on a lot, especially on the domestic
front.

insightful marketing: the means
The market share battle scene has long shifted from technology and processes to the psyche of
the customer. This means that those with deeper insights into the elusive mind of the buyer are
likely to dominate. Samsung is reinforcing marketing strengths to read better the pulse of the
market and help create products that map perfectly into customer preferences.
inspired thinking about the future.: the means
The future is unpredictable, but not doing anything about it is fraught with grave risk. Samsung
extrapolates future trends on the basis of current changes in technology and preferences as well
as sheer gut feel. Fine-tuned business instincts are worth their weight in gold, lots of it. The
company has perfected its practice almost into an art form with some calculated gambles like oil
and gas proving to be absolute money-spinners.

Products Concerned
Four major products have been taken under study are, television, refrigerators, air conditioners
and washing machine. Some of these goods fall under the white goods category others fall under
the brown goods category.
Brown goods are typically household electrical entertainment appliances
such as:
CD and DVD players
Televisions
HiFi and home cinema
White goods comprise major household appliances and may include:
air conditioner
dishwasher
clothes dryer
freezer and refrigerator
washing machine
Some types of brown goods were traditionally finished with or looked like wood or Bakelite.
This is now rather rare, but the name has stuck, even for goods that are unlikely ever to have
been provided in a wooden case (e.g. camcorders). White goods were typically painted or
enameled white, and many of them still are. The addition of new items to these categories shows
that the categories still serve a purpose in marketing.

At the same time, some segments will continue to stand out with well-above-average
performance such as MP3 players, digital TVs and DVD equipment.
"The segments most resistant to the slowdown are those most associated with 'multiple
ownership,' i.e. products that consumers own more than one of
Consumers are more likely to buy a second television or DVD player for the bedroom or perhaps
a second MP3 player for the gym bag.
First is the growth of DVD recorders, which will overtake DVD players in terms of unit
shipments by 2009. The second is the launch of next-generation DVD equipment that utilizes
High-Definition (HD) video.
These new products have been the focus of a protracted and particularly bitter struggle
between rival standards: Blu-ray, led by Sony Corp., and HD-DVD, led by Toshiba Corp. Some
observers believe this dispute is causing a delay in the growth of next-generation DVD that will
not be resolved until a single standard wins, the firm says. DVD equipment is not the only
product segment change in 2006. Sony in November will launch its long-awaited PlayStation 3
to compete against
Microsoft Corp. and Ninteno with their Xbox 360 and Revolution platforms for
dominance in the market for next-generation video-game consoles. Competition undoubtedly
will not be limited to the DVD and video-game console markets. As shipment growth decelerates
and revenues flatten in various product areas, competition is sure to intensify.

Consumer Electronics growth
The Consumer Electronics Association forecasts total CE factory-to-dealer sales to reach $140
billion in 2006, an eight percent growth over 2005, by CEA in its semi-annual U.S. Consumer
Electronics Sales and Forecasts Report. According to CEA Market Research, final year-end
totals reached $128 billion in 2005, making 1 1 percent growth over 2004. "The mid-year
numbers show continued robust growth in the CE industry, category to category," said CEA
President and CEO Gary Shapiro. In this digital age, consumers are using technologies as they
make new or upgrade purchases for the home, the car, the office or anywhere.
Digital television
Display technologies continue to be the front runner in the CE industry with revenues reaching
$19 billion in 2005 and were expected to exceed $22 billion in 2006. "Replacement and upgrade
purchases continue to drive the display market while prices continue to fall," said CEA Director
of Industry Analysis Sean Wargo. shipment volumes of digital display are expected to rise as
analog sets are becoming obsolete day by day. move to digital displays as days are increasingly
numbered."

Mobile video and navigation
Fueled by rising shipments of portable navigation products, 2006 revenues in the mobile video
and navigation category top $2.3 billion - 21 percent higher than the previous forecast in the
January edition of the Sales and Forecasts Report. Navigation products were responsible for over
half of that total growth.Sector wise impact on consumer durables
ICRA analysed the sector-wise impact
Demand for consumer durables is positively related to disposable income with consumers, which
in turn may be impacted by changes in personal income tax rates. India has signed a Free Trade
Agreement (FTA) with Thailand. Some of the consumer durables have been included in the
Agreement. These include Colour TV (CTV), Colour Picture Tubes (CPTs), airconditioners
(ACs), and refrigerators. With effect from September 1, 2004, customs duty on these products,
on imports from Thailand has become 12.5%. As a result of the entry of multinationals since the
1990s, the Indian consumer durables industry has become highly competitive.
-
7/27/2019 Mrinal Project 2
18/93
Initiatives
Peak rate of customs duty reduced from 15% to 12.5%. Levy of special additional duty of
customs (ADC) of 4%. Reduction in customs duty on copper (used in ACs) from 10% to 7.5%.
Customs duty on MP3 players and MPEG4 players reduced from 15% to 5%. Changes in the
Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) structure notably reduction in valuation of benefits in
the form of tour and travel, hospitality, and use of hotel boarding and lodging facilities.
Impact
The marginal increase in effective customs duty (after ADC) on raw materials is unlikely to be
material because of the relatively low import content in most products. In the largest sub-
segment of the consumer durables market-CTVs-the marginal increase in customs duty on CPTs
is likely to result in marginal price increases by domestic CPT manufacturers. The decline in
customs duty on copper is expected to provide some relief to AC manufacturers who have been
impacted by the sharp rise in the price of copper.

Consumer durables Change in India's income demographics to propel demand
The Market size of the consumer durables industry is expected to touch Rs 158.9 billion in 2005-
2006, o robust of 12.4% over 2004-2005.
Rising disposable income and declining prices of durables have resulted in increase in volumes.
An increase hi disposable income has resulted due to increase in the number of both double
income and nuclear families.
Consumer durables are expected to grow at 10%-15% hi both 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. Driven
by the growth in CTVs and air conditioners. Value growth of durables is expected to be higher
than historical levels as price declines for most of the products are not expected to be very
significant . Though price declines will continue, it will cease to be the primary demand driver;
instead the continuing strength of income demographics will support volume growth

Introduction to Customer Satisfaction
Managing customers and satisfying them has become one of the most important dimensions
of enterprise strategy in this age of fiercely competitive environment.
The present era will go down in the business history as the era of focused attention
to customer expectation and to profitability through higher customer satisfaction.
Satisfying and retaining the customer is the new mantra, through which the companies are
learning to earn loyalty of their customer. According to Kotler there are two ways to
strengthen customer retention. First is to erect high switching barriers, and second is to
deliver high customer satisfaction.
Customer satisfaction, commonly abbreviated CS, is a business term which is used to
capture the idea of measuring how satisfied an enterprise's customers are with the
organization's efforts in a marketplace. It is seen as a key business performance indicator
and is part of the four perspectives of a Balanced Scorecard.
Every organization has customers of some kind. The organization provides products (goods
and/or services) of some kind to its customers through the mechanism of a marketplace.
The products the organization provides are subject to competition whether by
similar products or by substitution products. It has therefore become essential for the
organizations to understood the customer requirement and deliver them high quality
services. A lack of such an approach, thus, leads to their dissatisfaction. According to
Kotler (2001),"It is not enough to be skillful in attracting new customers; the organization
must keep them".

Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual
manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and
product/service to product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both
psychological and physical variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as
return and recommend rate.
The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the customer may
have and other products against which the customer can compare the organization's
products.
Work done by Berry, Brodeur between 1990 and 1998 defined ten 'Quality Values'
which influence satisfaction behavior, further expanded by Berry in 2002 and known as the
ten domains of satisfaction. These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality, Value,
Timeliness, Efficiency, Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-departmental Teamwork, Front
line Service Behaviors, Commitment
to the Customer and Innovation. These factors are emphasized for continuous improvement
and organizational change measurement and are most often utilized to develop the
architecture for satisfaction measurement as an integrated model.
The usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey instrument with a set
of statements using a Likert Technique or scale. The customer is asked to evaluate each
statement and in term of their perception and expectation of the performance of the
organization being measured.
This study aims to explore the current satisfaction level of Samsung product

COMPANY HISTORY
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., is the chief subsidiary of South Korea's giant Samsung Group and
one of the largest electronics producers in Asia. Products built by Samsung Electronics include
televisions and many other kinds of home appliances, 'telecommunications equipment, and
computers. Its most important product is semiconductors. Savvy management and heavy
investment in research and development in the late 1980s and early 1990s were turning the
company into a leading contender in the global electronics industry.
Samsung Electronics was created in 1969 as a division of the mammoth Korean chaebol
Samsung Group. The unit was established as a means of getting Samsung into the burgeoning
television and consumer electronics industry. The division's first product was a small and simple
black-and-white television that it began selling in the early 1970s. From that product, Samsung
Electronics gradually developed a diverse line of consumer electronics that it first sold
domestically, and later began exporting. The company also began branching out into color
televisions, and later into a variety of consumer electronics and appliances. By the 1980s
Samsung was manufacturing, shipping, and selling a wide range of appliances and electronic
products throughout the world.
Although the rapid growth of Samsung Electronics during the 1970s and early 1980s is
impressive, it did not surprise observers who were familiar with the Samsung Group, which was
founded in 1938 by Byung-Chull Lee, a celebrated Korean entrepreneur. Lee started a small
trading company with a $2,000 nest egg and forty employees. He called it Samsung, which means
"three stars" in Korean. The company enjoyed moderate growth before the Communist invasion

in 1950 forced Lee to abandon his operations in Seoul. Looting soldiers and politicians on both
sides of the conflict diminished his inventories to almost nothing. With savings contributed by
one of his managers, Lee started over in 1951 and within one year had grown his company's assets
Lee established a sugar refinery in 1953, a move that was criticized at the time because
sugar could be easily obtained through American aid. But for Lee the act was important because it
was the first manufacturing facility built in South Korea after the Korean War. From sugar, wool,
and other commodity businesses, Lee moved into heavier manufacturing. The company prospered
under Lee's philosophy of making Samsung the leader in each industry he entered.
From manufacturing, Samsung moved into various service businesses during the 1960s,
including insurance, broadcasting, securities, and even a department store. Lee experienced
several major setbacks during the period. For example, in the late 1960s; shortly before Samsung
Electronics was created, Lee was charged with an illegal sale of about $50,000 worth of goods.
The charges turned out to be the fabrication of a disgruntled government official to whom Lee had
refused to pay a bribe. Nevertheless, one of Lee's sons was arrested and Lee was forced to donate
a fertilizer plant to the government to win his release. Despite that and other problems, Samsung
continued to flourish. Indeed, by the end of the 1960s the conglomerate was generating more than
US$100 million in annual revenues.
Shortly after Lee's son was arrested, Lee decided to break into the mass communication
industry by launching a radio and television station, as well as by manufacturing televisions and
electronic components through the Samsung Electronics division. The industry was dominated at
the time by several U.S. and European manufacturers, and some Japanese companies were
beginning to enter the industry. Nevertheless, Lee was confident that Samsung could stake its
claim on the local market and eventually become a global contender. During the early 1970s the
-
7/27/2019 Mrinal Project 2
25/93
company invested heavily, borrowed and coaxed technology from foreign competitors, and drew
on its business and political connections to begin carving out a niche in the consumer electronics
industry. In addition to televisions, Samsung branched out into other consumer electronics
products and appliances.
Samsung Electronics's gains during the 1970s were achieved with the assistance of the
national government. During the 1950s and 1960s Samsung and other Korean conglomerates
struggled as the Rhee Sungman administration increasingly resorted to favoritism and corruption
to maintain power. Student revolts in the 1960s finally forced Rhee into exile. The ruling party
that emerged from the ensuing political fray was headed by military leader Park Chung-Hee. His
regime during the 1960s and 1970s was characterized by increasing centralization of power, both
political and industrial, as his government was obsessed with economic growth and development.
So, while Park was widely criticized for his authoritarian style, his government is credited with
laying the foundation for South Korea's economic renaissance.
In order to rapidly develop the economy, Park identified key industries and large,
profitable companies within them. The government worked with the companies, providing
protection from competition and financial assistance as part of a series of five-year national
economic growth plans. By concentrating power in the hands of a few giant companies (the
chaebols), Park reasoned, roadblocks would be minimized and efficiencies would result. Between
1960 and 1980 South Korea's annual exports surged from $33 million to more than $17 billion.
Samsung Electronics and the entire Samsung chaebol were beneficiaries of Rhee's
policies. Several countries, including Japan, were barred from selling consumer electronics in
South Korea, eliminating significant competition for Samsung. Furthermore, although Samsung
Electronics was free to invest in overseas companies, foreign investors were forbidden to buy into
-

26/93
Samsung. 'As a result, Samsung was able to quickly develop a thriving television and electronics
division that controlled niches of the domestic market and even had an edge in some export
arenas.
During the 1970s and 1980s Samsung Group created a number of electronics-related
divisions, several of which were later grouped into a single entity known as Samsung Electronics
Co. Ltd. Samsung Electron Devices Co. manufactured picture tubes, display monitors, and related
parts. Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. made VHP and UHF tuners, condensers, speakers, and
other gear. Samsung Corning Co. produced television glass bulbs, computer displays, and other
components. Finally, Samsung Semiconductor & Telecommunications Co. represented Samsung
in the high-tech microchip industry. Rapid growth in those industries, combined with savvy
management, allowed the combined Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., to become Samsung Group's
chief subsidiary by the end of the 1980s.
Samsung's entry into the semiconductor business was pivotal for the company. Lee had
determined in the mid-1970s that high-tech electronics was the growth industry of the future, and
that Samsung was to be a major player. To that end, he formed Samsung Semiconductor and
Telecommunications Co. in 1978. To make up for a lack of technological expertise in South
Korea, the South Korean government effectively required foreign telecommunications equipment
manufacturers to hand over advanced semiconductor technology in return for access to the
Korean market. This proved crucial for Samsung, which obtained proprietary technology from
Micron of the United States and Sharp of Japan in 1983. Utilizing its newly acquired knowledge,
Samsung became the first Korean manufacturer of low-cost, relatively low-tech, 64-kilobit
dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips.
-
7/27/2019 Mrinal Project 2
27/93
Shortly after introducing its 64K chip, Samsung teamed up with some Korean competitors
in a research project that was coordinated by the government Electronics and
Telecommunications Research Institute. The result was a 1-megabit DRAM (and later a 4-
megabit DRAM) chip. During the mid- and late 1980s, Samsung parlayed knowledge from the
venture to become a significant supplier of low-cost, commodity-life DRAM chips to computer
and electronics manufacturers throughout the world. Meanwhile, its other electronics operations
continued to grow, both domestically and abroad. Samsung opened a television assembly plant in
Portugal in 1982 to supply the European market with 300,000 units annually. In 1984 it built a
$25 million.
Between 1977 and 1987 Samsung Group's annual revenues surged from $1.3 billion to
$24 billion (or about 20 percent of South Korea's entire gross domestic product). Much of that
growth was attributable to Samsung Electronics. Byung-Chull Lee died in 1987 and was
succeeded by his son, Kun-Hee Lee. Kun-Hee Lee recognized the importance of the electronics
division and moved quickly to make it the centerpiece of the Samsung Group. To that end, he
consolidated many of the Group's divisions and eliminated some operations. He also introduced
various initiatives designed to improve employee motivation and product quality. Kun-Hee Lee
was credited with stepping up Samsung Electronics's partnering efforts with foreign companies as
part of his goal to put Samsung at the forefront of semiconductor technology.
Sales at Samsung Group grew more than 2.5 times between 1987 and 1992. More
importantly, Samsung drew from potential profit gains to more than double research and
development investments as part of Kun-Hee Lee's aggressive bid to make Samsung a
technological leader in the electronics, semiconductor, and communications industries. Besides
partnering with U.S. and Japanese electronics companies, Samsung Electronics acquired firms
-
7/27/2019 Mrinal Project 2
28/93
that possessed important technology, including Harris Microwave Semiconductors and Integrated
Telecom Technologies. In 1993 Kun-Hee Lee sold off ten of. Samsung Group's subsidiaries,
downsized the company, and merged other operations to concentrate on three industries:
electronics, engineering, and chemicals.
Under the leadership of chief executive Kim Kwang-Ho, Samsung Electronics took the
microchip world by storm when it introduced its 4-megabit DRAM chip in 1994. Sales of that
chip helped to push Samsung's sales from US$10.77 billion in 1993 to US$14.94 billion in 1994.
Profits, moreover, spiraled from US$173,000 to nearly US$1.3 billion. In addition, Samsung had
staged a bold grab for domestic market share in 1995 by slashing prices for consumer electronics
and home appliances by as much as 16 percent, and had wowed industry insiders when it unveiled
an advanced thin-film-transistor display screen-used for laptop computers--at a world trade show
in Japan.
Samsung Electronics's rapid rise and technical achievements put the company in the
spotlight in the semiconductor industry. Its 4-megabit chip, in fact, had made it the leading global
producer of DRAM chips by early 1995. Furthermore, Samsung Electronics was increasing its
investment in development still further, as evidenced by a $2.5 billion outlay to develop a 64-
megabit DRAM chip by 1998. In mid-1995, Samsung Electronics was hoping to generated profits
of $2.3 billion on sales of $19.3 billion--a .revenue gain of nearly 30 percent over 1994. In
addition to its DRAM chip pursuits, the company was working to establish a major presence in
multimedia products, flat screens, and telecommunications gear.
