After an endless string of news about lightning and exploding smartphones Samsung and joined them in a washing machine with vertical loading, many have tough questions. Survive the Koreans these failures? Handle it? What will happen to Samsung?
Those who are in a hurry, I propose a short version of the answers. Will survive. Cope. It will be as if nothing had happened.
And now, when bustler reading finished, let’s talk a little more detail.
Size matters. With the word Samsung most of us have the smartphones, vacuum cleaners, televisions, washing machines and similar appliances. If the activities of the Corporation and was limited to consumer electronics, the story of the Note 7 would seriously undermine its position.
But finished device, to put it mildly, not all Samsung. That is how we usually judge it — only one of directions of one of the companies within the Samsung Group. Only Samsung Electronics (which is about smartphones and washing machines) works in four areas: Device Solution (“Semiconductors and LCDs”), Digital Media (“Digital media technologies”), Digital Appliance (Household appliances) and Telecommunication Network (“Information technologies and telecommunications”). And the division Device Solution, according to various estimates, the second or third largest supplier of components for electronic equipment in the world. Almost anywhere any smart device have parts that are manufactured by Samsung, memory, screens, PV modules, processors, etc. Especially piquant that the technique bitterest rivals Samsung often is half Korean components.
But that’s not all. Samsung Electronics is part of the Samsung Group, along with another 80 companies. Full list you’ll find online, but it and chemical industry, and heavy industry, and financial services, and insurance, and much more, including a network of hotels. A significant portion of companies operating only within South Korea, but the ships from the shipyards of Samsung Heavy Industries floating throughout the planet.
Yes, of course, companies are different, and each (almost) your budget, however the purse in a whole one. And because the loss of $ 3 billion in the scale of the Samsung Group, of course, unpleasant, but the consequences, to put it mildly, is not fatal. You would probably be surprised if after hitting with the little finger on the corner someone from the family called an ambulance? Painful, annoying, but life-threatening definitely no.
Features of national management. If you think that Russia unnecessarily inflated the cult of the head, then you certainly should work at a Korean company. After that, any Russian tyrant will seem soft and democratic.
Wise Korean leader was absolutely right always. Even if he’s obviously wrong, read the rule from the beginning. The discussion of ideas and especially of the head means that you supervisor will never be. The late Steve jobs is famous for authoritarian by Western standards — a methods manual, on the background of the Korean Manager looks good forgiving of an uncle.
seriously, a harsh chain of command, there are both advantages and disadvantages. This is a theme for separate study, but now it is worth remembering that 10 years ago Samsung was a manufacturer of solid, but not top-end electronics. There are some breakthrough technologies? What is a trendsetter? What are you talking about?
For 10 years, everything has changed radically. Yes, there was quite a… unique solutions that in mild control system would not come to the shelves. Overall though, the progress is impressive. How much do we know of similar examples? I personally — very little. From last I remember only Huawei, but there are management techniques very similar to Korean.
the story of the Galaxy Note 7 is not about technology, but about management. I tested it, when the history of fire just spun, and I was under the impression that we are not completely independent development, and the development of last year’s model Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, where urgently added stylus. In such optimizations of engineering processes is not unusual, but in this case, it seems that the decision of the wise leader was taken late in the day, and time for tests of the design proved insufficient.
I’m Not sure that by the end of this story happens some serious dismissal. Because the head is always right. And Yes, of course, the next Samsung model will not burn even if doused with gasoline. That, of course, does not exclude other surprises.
the Caravan moves on. Burning Note 7 bypassed all media outlets and reach out even to the most indifferent to the warnings of the townsfolk. Formed a vague feeling that a Samsung smartphone… burn-S.
But given the flood of information that rains down on each of us, the memory of the Note 7 will soon be overwritten. We have been competing on the speed of forgetting all aquarium fish. Even the most horrific events that shook us yesterday, today, seem to be something old and boring against the background of the news source. And then some of the phones… I Think.
in General, I would not overestimate the influence of the media on the real mood of the population. Just last week, the US President became the man furiously, “soaked” 90% of the publications. He once managed.
Cope and Samsung, which are so bad, so hard, yesterday he bought the legendary Harman for $ 8 billion. Guess which logo would adorn the is Galaxy S8 and that will be the successor of Note 7?
