Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
According to the founder of Samsung Group, the meaning of the Korean hanja word
Samsung (三星) is "tristar" or "three stars". The word "three" represents something "big, numerous and powerful"; the "stars" mean eternity.

A. History

1. 1969 to 2000
Samsung Electric Industries was established as a subsidiary of Samsung Group in 1969 in
Suwon, South Korea. Its early products were electronic and electrical appliances including televisions, calculators, refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines. In 1970, Samsung
Group established another subsidiary, Samsung-NEC, jointly with Japan's NEC Corporation to manufacture home appliances and audiovisual devices. In 1974, the group expanded into the semiconductor business by acquiring Korea Semiconductor, one of the first chip-making facilities in the country at the time. The acquisition of Korea Telecommunications, an electronic switching system producer, was completed at the start of the next decade in 1980.
By 1981, Samsung Electric Industries had manufactured over 10 million black-and-white televisions. In February 1983, Samsung's founder, Lee Byung-chull, made an announcement later dubbed the "Tokyo declaration," in which he declared that Samsung intended to become a
DRAM (dynamic random access memory) vendor. One year later, Samsung became the third company in the world to develop a 64kb DRAM.] In 1988, Samsung Electric Industries merged with Samsung Semiconductor & Communications to form Samsung Electronics.

    Global Electronics, Inc. (GEI), headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, designs, manufactures, and markets discrete power semiconductors and analog, digital, mixed-signal, and radiation-hardened integrated circuits for signal processing and power-control applications. The company employs about 2,300 people at its three U.S. fabrication facilities (located in Huntsville, Alabama; Evansville, Indiana; and Reading, Pennsylvania), and has 4,000 employees at its assembly and test facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 1999, GEI 's profitability came down with operating losses reaching $100 million on sales of approximately $650 million, causing management concern about the accuracy of the company 's standard cost system. There was a feeling that the standard cost system could not truly identify which of the company 's products were profitable and which were not. The lack of an understanding of product profitability, a flawed product mix, and poor marketing and pricing decisions could have contributed to GEI 's financial problems. A combination of internal problems and external threats in an industry characterized by increasing global competition, decreasing product life cycles, product proliferation, and exploding technological capability led to a shake-up of the company 's top management in February 2000. As part of the shake-up, GEI installed a new president, Mike Alberts, and a new controller, Steve Shannon, for the express purpose of strengthening the company 's position in the market and improving its financial performance.…
