SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS
BRAND Samsung's innovative and superior quality products coupled with our innovative marketing initiatives have contributed to the success of the brand globally as well as in India. Our commitment to being the world's best has won us the No.1 global marketshare for thirteen of our products, including semiconductors, TFT-LCDs, monitors and CDMA mobile phones. In India too, Samsung has taken the lead in product categories like LED TVs, LCD TVs, Slim TVs, Side by Side Refrigerators and Smart phones, while it is the second largest mobile handset brand in India.
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST LOVABLE BRAND LOVED BY THE PEOPLE.
IT HAS HELPFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE.IT HAS ITS OWN APPEARANCE IN THE FIELD
OF ELECTRONICS.The Brand Trust Report by India Study 2015
ranked Samsung as one of the top most trusted brands in the country. Samsung expects to become the largest consumer brand in India by 2015.
SAMSUNG – TRUST WOTRHY BRAND WHY SAMSUNG?? A TRUSTED BRAND BETTER PERFORMANCE & TECHNOLOGY UNRIVALLED PRODUCT QUALITY WORRY FREE SERVICE
MARKETING-The marketing mix (4Ps)1 PRODUCT 2 PRICE 3 PLACEMENT 4 PROMOTION
PRODUCT The variety of TV sets offered by Samsung
ensures it keeps abreast of the competition in the consumer electronics market. Their product offerings are suitable to a wide array of customers, from those requiring basic TV sets through to large display 3D TVs with interactive features for those potential clients who are interested in the latest gadgets (Katzmaier, 2011). The consistency in high performance and stylish designs for their products ensures the brand recognition of Samsung TVs
PRICE Pricing strategies are dependent on a variety of
influencing factors. Despite popular belief, the lowest prices are not the most attractive to all customers, as the demands of the market in general has become more sophisticated and consumers have become aware of the concept of value for money (Ba & Pavlou, 2002). As such, clients are prepared to pay premium prices if they are comfortable in the belief that they will obtain a high quality product. As such, Samsung uses the competitive pricing strategy for their TVs, devoting time to comparing their prices with the ones of their main competitors like LG or Sony in every geographical market (Woollaston, 2013). The Samsung TV prices reflect the quality that the customers can expect from the product.
PLACEMENT Through a thorough market research Samsung places their
products in the best retail seller locations in each of the countries where they operate. For example, Samsung TVs can be found in John Lewis, Tesco or Argos stores across the UK, which are some of the best known British retailers. At the same time, Samsung operates independent showrooms and have partnered with numerous other companies from all industries that display Samsung TVs in their headquarters in order to increase the market presence of the brand (Kershaw, 2012). Overall, the placement of products in all the retail locations ensures that the brand maintains its leading market position, as the catalogues of stores where Samsung TVs are sold feature the newest TV models released by the company, promoting the brand even further.
PROMOTION Samsung often uses promotional pricing tactics in order to
maintain its competitive edge over the other industry leaders. Specifically designed to attract customers, price reductions, such as the ones available in John Lewis online stores, with free delivery and 5 year guarantee and added care for all Samsung TV sets, these promotions are particularly available around the Christmas holidays in order to attract customers at a time when their disposable income is used to make more generous purchases, including new TVs for the house (Moore, 2011). In 2011, when Samsung launched their new generation of 3D TVs, they were offering two free pairs of 3D glasses with the purchase of selected TVs, an attractive offer for the potential customers, particularly as none of the other Panasonic or LG 3D TVs were benefiting from this offer (Katzmaier, 2011).
SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths Product range Ownership of market share Brand reputation Awards and industry recognition Low cost productions Local teams in all locations Investment in R&D WEAKNESSES Pricing tactics – lower price is usually interpreted as low quality Not niche focused Relies on external software for products Distribution channels costs for products Patent litigations with Apple

7 Supply Chain Transformations at SAMSUNG
LISTEN TO VOICE OF CUSTOMERADOPT SIX SIGMA TECHNOLOGY UTILIZE APS SYSTEM (ADVANCED
PLANNING & SCHEDULNG)SETUP CROSS FUNCTIONAL TEAM Streamline Performance Evaluation
System Standardize Processes and PartsEstablish Risk Management System
Listen to Voice of Customer: at macro level, Samsung tries to understand the behavior of consumers in particular country by sending staffs to attend MBA programs at the local universities. These "Country Specialists" also establish the connection with many business leaders and potential business partners. At micro level, they gather the customer preferences and incorporate them into the product design through a method called "Quality Function Deployment".
Adopt Six Sigma Methodology: based on "quality movement" in the electronics industry, Samsung believes they can improve the internal operations drastically using Six Sigma. Then they study various Six Sigma approaches from GE, Dupont and Honeywell. Later, they create the methodology based on GE approach called "DMAEV" (define, measure, analyze, enable and verify).
Utilize APS system: Since the electronics market changes quickly, they need to be able to create a flexible production plan. So they implement APS system which brings the remarkable success.
4) Setup Cross Functional Team: in order to bring the internal departments closer, they use the system called "Voice of Business". What they do is to gather the internal requirements and establish an action plan based on collective decision.
5)Streamline Performance Evaluation System: the classic problem of many organizations in Asia is the seniority based performance evaluation system. Samsung thinks they won't be able to attract the best and the brightest to help them grow if there is no performance based system in place. Then they gradually integrate the merit-based system and allow high performers to have the fast track career path.
6) Standardize Processes and Parts: to achieve the economy of scale, Samsung standardize processes and parts and the majority of components are produced in Korea. This also enables them to manage product quality more effectively due to the ease of control.
7) Establish Risk Management System: they realize that risks are the fact of life. So they implement a very comprehensive risk management system and their risk mitigation strategies are low inventory level, flexible capacity and redundant suppliers.

MANUFACTURINGStarts production with 32 inch Model LG
targets a production capacity of 2.5 lakh units per year
New Delhi, April 05, 2007: Leading Consumer Electronics and Home Appliance Brand, LG Electronics India today announced the commencement of LCD Television manufacturing at it’s Ranjangaon facility in Pune. With an initial investment of US $ 0.5M, LG has begun manufacturing 32” Liquid Crystal Display Televisions at this facility.
REGIONAL CHANNEL STRATEGYAND WIDE DISTRIBUTION NETWORKLG has adopted the regional distribution model in India.
All the distributors work directly with the company. This has resulted in quicker rotation of stocks, and
better penetration into the B, C, and D class markets.LG also follows the strategy of stock rotation, rather
than dumping stocks on channel partners.LG has over 46 branch offices and another 110 area
offices across the country. LG had set a target of developing 2,000 dealers in
2004, in addition to the existing 3,000 dealers all over India.
Factors for success
INNOVATIVE MARKETING STRATEGIES To make itself a known brand in the consumer
electronics sector, LG has taken innovative marketing and promotional initiatives:
• Launch of new technologies in consumer electronics and home appliances.
• LG was the first brand to enter cricket in a bigway, by sponsoring the 1999 World Cup, and followed it up in 2003 as well.
• LG brought in four captains of the Indian cricket team to endorse its products. LG invested more than US$8 million on advertising and marketing in this sport.
• LG has differentiated its products using technology and health benefits. The CTV range has ‘Golden Eye’ technology, air-conditioners have the ‘Health Air System’ and microwave ovens have the ‘Health Wave System’.
LOCAL AND EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING TO REDUCE COST
To overcome high import duties, LG manufactures PC monitors and refrigerators in India at its manufacturing facility at Noida, Delhi.
LGEIL had already commissioned contract manufacturing at Mohali, Kolkata and Bhopal for CTVs. This has helped LGEI to reduce costs.
LGEIL is implementing a “digital manufacturing system” (DMS) as a cost-cutting innovation.
This system is a follow-up to the Six Sigma exercise LGEIL had initiated earlier.
R&D POTENTIALLG has set up research and development
facilities in India at Bangalore and is in the process of setting up another at Pune.
Both the units carry out R&D work for the domestic market as well as for the parent company. It also does customised R&D for specific countries to which it exports products.
S.W.O.T. ANALYSISMarket leader in home appliances.Has got manufacturing unit in tax incentive .Wide range of products to serve all categories.Widest distribution network in the industry(47
barnches,10000 trade partners).Good after sales service offered.
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES• Samsung being its competitor provides
similar products.• Consumers compare L.G with Samsung its
Korean rival not with other global companies.
• Lack of expert operators for complex machines due to illiteracy and lack of training in India.
OPPORTUNITIES• Fast growth of the home appliances market• Shifting to rural areas• Thus maintaining control over the market and the highest share in home appliances marketTHREATS
• Close competitors like Samsung are compared to it.• Price war with Samsung.• Competition from Indian brand and other foreign brands.
