1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Through the course of study, I found that it is virtually impossible to identify the core competence
of an organization within a restricted time period. Since the complex people power is the principle
instrument of an organization, many of factors, which are relevant for the study, could not be
expressed fully. These are due to;
1.Time was a major limiting factor as many of the top managements and functional managers were
busy with their own routine work.
2.With a restricted period of 20 days it’s impossible to meet all the Departmental Heads in the
Company.
3.This study was mainly based on the primary data obtained from the interviews with managers and
therefore chances of personal bias exist.
4.The top management was reluctant to disclose matters related to the internal affairs of the
company.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

REPORT ON ORGANISATIONAL STUDY AT SAMSUNG INDIA PVT. LTD. ,COCHIN
2.1 HOME APPLIANCES
In recent years, with India, political stability, rapid economic development, foreign trade
maintained rapid growth, Indian home appliance market is growing rapidly. 3 consecutive years,
India ranks 30 emerging retail markets and the world’s most attractive investment country in the
first, so it also attracted the home appliance enterprises to develop markets in India.
Of course, many countries in Southeast Asia, Thailand, Vietnam and other places in the home
appliance export market more favorable to India, but India’s growing market demand and the
gradual emergence of economic power attracts the attention of financiers.
According to export statistics information center, in February 2010, China’s exports to India,
TV, washer, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners and other products have appeared in
the case of significant increase over the previous year. Among them, the air conditioner’s export
growth over 10 times, India has become the third largest exporter of air conditioning. It is
noteworthy that the impact of home appliances and consumer electronics, consumer durables,
because the Indian home appliances and electronics production capacity weak, lack of standards,
the market is still in the initial stage, the product features do not ask.
The Chinese. King Wei appliances Miss Yuan also said that the Indian domestic market
products Distribution Issues and certainly not the same, the more expensive the better to sell.
Indian market for household appliances is relatively high dependence on imported products.
With India’s rapid economic development, the Indian national living standards, consumption
continued to increase, consumer electronics and home appliances on the growing demand for
consumer durables, the market potential. Even during the financial crisis in 2009, Qi Di A Chinese
company exports to India total sales of 500 thousand U.S. dollars of air-conditioning, as the crisis
of low tide, pick up significantly this year, the Indian market. a large Indian home appliances
market share of almost 75% are imported. Concern is subject to local refrigeration and air
conditioning companies supporting imperfect, India, most of the refrigerators and air-conditioning
compressor are sourcing from China Furher the Indian home appliance market needs quality,
durability and style at a reasonable price.
2.2 MOBILE PHONES.
India is now the world’s second largest mobile market after China with 261.09 million users.
Unlike China where China Mobile which has 392 million subscribers the market in India is much
more fragmented. Bharti Airtel the largest has 64 million subscribers .
12
REPORT ON ORGANISATIONAL STUDY AT SAMSUNG INDIA PVT. LTD. ,COCHIN
Rates here are amongst the lowest in the world. And Bharti alone reported average caller minutes at
505 per quarter.Growth which is not expected to slow down anytime soon is now moving to the
rural areas. The auction for the 3G spectrum is on. It will have to happen soon otherwise WIMAX
or another technology may surprise us.The ramifications and the changes mobile is bringing is
visible everywhere. From kids in the streets of wealthier suburbs to small traders and service
providers everywhere. Users are also increasingly savvy about features. Any large phone retailer or
large mobile bazaar will have 100’s if not 1000’s of different models on display. It’s almost
overwhelming and all the more impressive that Nokia continues to have a huge share of market.
Phone are not subsidized US style. You get what you pay for and there is a ready repair
market..Then for most this is outrageously expensive. New low end mobiles are approaching the
1000 rupee price barrier . Prices for top end phones are running 40000 rupees. As a comparison
one can get a new laptop here for the same money. The iPhone is available here for 24000 rupees.
But the real demand for all in one phones with cameras, MP3’s and radios built in. A study shows
that almost 95% people are not using smart phones and other high end phones.Nokia of course
leads the pack, but the surprise comes from Samsung. Samsung has overtaken Motorola in India’s
handset market (for the third place), as per the latest ORG figures.
Handset Market Share
Nokia: 59.5%
Sony: 8.1%
Samsung: 7%
Motorola: 5.9%
Nokia’s success is mainly attributed to distribution deals they inked – of the estimated 79,000 retail
outlets in India selling mobile phones, Nokia had a presence in 72,000 of them.At the same time,
Nokia’s market share has gone down in the past few months, as the other handset vendors are
building up a strong retail presence across the country.
Today mobile phones have moved beyond their primary role of voice communications and have
graduated to become an essential entertaining device for mobile users. We are in an era where users
buy mobile phones not just to be in touch, today’s youth use it to express their thoughts, for social
networking, to show their interests, play games, read news, surf on the internet, listen to music, chat
instantly with friends & families and even check their bank balances. There are various phone
13

manufacturers providing handsets.However, Nokia is the dominant player on the GSM space,
accounting for 63% of the installed base (phone’s currently in use) while LG rules CDMA with
48% of installed base market share. On looking at urban India GSM/CDMA combined installed
base, Nokia is at the top with 54% of installed base market followed by LG (14%). LG is second
most used handset manufacturer India primarily due to its dominant position in the CDMA.

for each of the two manufacturers mentioning they are likely to recommend their handset to their
friends.

IDC India has published a report on growth of mobile sales in India (for 2009) and here are some of
the relevant data points to track:
The growth has more or less flat [owing to low sales figure in Q1] – in total, 101.54 million
units of sales were registered.
Local manufacturers (like Max ,Micromax, Spice etc..) have grabbed 17.5% market share
[from 0.9%, a year back]
Only 5 local manufacturers in 2008 and the number stands at 28 now!
Nokia market share in India fell from 56.2% share in 2008 to 54.1% in 2009.
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd’s share rose marginally to 9.7% from 9.5%.

2.3 LAPTOP
Besides the corporate sector, laptops have been in demand in the education sector, with schools and
colleges encouraging their day-to-day use.Laptops sales have increased the most in the 18-36 years
age group segment which includes students and home users.Size, weight, battery life and
configuration are the most important factors consumers look at when they buy a laptop.
Laptop sales have accounted for a decline in the sales of desktop computers and are expected to
take over 40 per cent of the overall PC sales in India by 2010.The laptop computer market in India
grew significantly last year, contributing significantly to the overall PC market growth of 25.1 per
cent. More than five lakh notebook PCs were sold in the quarter, a study by market analyst IDC
India reported.Hewlett Packard (HP) retained the top slot with a market share of 37.8 per cent,
while Lenovo occupied the second position and Acer third. Notebook PC sale in home and `Small
Office and Home Office' (SOHO) segments grew by 166 per cent and made up 43 per cent of the
total business. The next largest contributors were enterprise and education segments.
"Portability, rather than mobility has emerged as the `number one' driver for the sustained growth in
notebook PC shipments in India," Kapil Dev Singh, Country Manager, IDC India, said.
Given the choice of portability, flexibility and ease of use and narrowing of price-performance gap
that once existed between portables and desktops, consumers are almost overwhelmingly inclined
to buy notebook PCs, he said.
Further, laptop sales recorded an year-on-year growth of 104 per cent in the northern states of the
country, followed by southern states at 80 per cent. Meanwhile, the desktop PC shipments showed a
growth of 10.9 per cent in the same quarter.
The laptop sales is growing at much faster rate than projected. India's personal computer market
is undergoing a major transition. However, laptop computers cannot completely wipe out
desktop computers, because both are designed to meet different needs or different consumer
segments. According to a top official of HCL Info Systems, market share of laptops would be
35-40% in the next two years.
Major Players
16
REPORT ON ORGANISATIONAL STUDY AT SAMSUNG INDIA PVT. LTD. ,COCHIN
The major players in the laptop category are:
Hewlett Packard (HP)
IBM
Toshiba
Compaq
Dell Computers
Sony
Samsung
LG
Growth Drivers
Indian Laptop market in now in sync with global market. It was in 2005 that sales of
laptops surpassed the sales of desktop computers for the first time in India.
The Laptop market is growing at a fast rate because of change in work life of consumers.
As the need for "anytime anywhere" access to information is increasing, the sales of
Laptops are also increasing.
Other factors that are responsible for the hike in sales figure are reduction in prices and
affordability. Laptops are now sold at approximately half the price at which they were sold
two years ago. Laptops prices are now almost at par with the desktop computer prices.
The third most important factor is duty free import of Laptops as a personal baggage that
has helped a lot in increasing the penetration level of the product among the consumer
population. Awareness about laptops has also increased over the years.
2.4 COMPONENTS
17
REPORT ON ORGANISATIONAL STUDY AT SAMSUNG INDIA PVT. LTD. ,COCHIN
As the demand for computer systems are growing at a higher rate the component market is also
growing.The computer hardware market consists of the computers, storage, and other devices
segments. The computers segment comprises desktops and laptops. Storage includes memory
sticks, CD packs, hard disks and other data storage devices. The other devices segment includes
computer peripherals, PDAs, organizers, calculators and Satellite navigation systems.
Highlights

increase of 22% since 2008.

* The Americas account for 38.5% of the global computer hardware market’’s value.
2.5 SAMSUNG AND LG –MAJOR PLAYERS
Korea's major consumer electronics manufacturers show continued robust growth in the Indian
market for home appliances.
According to a recent survey conducted by GfK Marketing Services, one of the world's top-five
market research companies, LG Electronics Inc. was found to lead in India's five major home
appliances categories; color televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and
microwave ovens.
LG-brand air conditioners held a 41 percent market share, televisions 26.7 percent, refrigerators
29.4 percent, washing machines 35.1 percent and microwave ovens 38.9 percent.
Televisions rose 2.3 percent, while refrigerators and washing machines rose 3.4 percent and 2.7
percent respectively, from a year ago.
Samsung Electronics followed LG Electronics in the Indian home appliances market, with a 14.4
percent market share in color televisions, 16 percent in air conditioners and 18.6 percent in
microwave ovens .
Although in India's optical machinery market Samsung Electronics was found to lead with its
computer monitors and CD-ROM drives.
18
REPORT ON ORGANISATIONAL STUDY AT SAMSUNG INDIA PVT. LTD. ,COCHIN
Meanwhile, in the audio markets, the two electronic makers fell behind competitors such as Sony
and Phillips. Sony and Phillips had a 42.8 percent and a 34.1 percent market share, respectively.
Samsung and LG trailed with 11 percent and 5.7 percent, respectively, in India's audio market.
The Indian branch of LG Electronics plans to achieve its goal of $10 billion in sales by 2010 with
an investment of $150,000,000 .
On the other hand, Samsung Electronics said it will focus on increasing brand recognition and value
though its high-end product lines rather than attaching itself to simple, numerical sales volume in
the Indian market.
The company is restructuring its business segments in the Indian market to more concentrate on
high value-added production.
India, as one of the four BRICs nations, along with Brazil, Russia and China, is running an average
of 7 percent annual economic growth, mostly driven by a growing IT sector. Some experts predict
that India will become the world's largest economy by 2035.

3.1 SAMSUNG GROUP
The Samsung Group is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in
Samsung Town, Seoul, South Korea. It is the world's largest conglomerate by revenue with an
annual revenue of US $173.4 billion in 2008 and is South Korea's largest chaebol. The meaning of
the Koreanhanja word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars".
The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international affiliated businesses, most of
them united under the Samsung brand including Samsung Electronics, the world's largest
electronics company, Samsung Heavy Industries, the world's second largest shipbuilder and
Samsung C&T, a major global construction company.
Samsung has been the world's most popular consumer electronics brand since 2005 and is
the best known South Korean brand in the world. Samsung Group accounts for more than 20% of
South Korea's total exports and is the leader in many domestic industries, such as the financial,
chemical, retail and entertainment industries. The company's strong influence in South Korea is
visible throughout the nation, which has been referred to as the "Republic of Samsung".Samsung is
the world's leading consumer electronics brand and one of the top twenty global brands.
Currently helmed by Lee Soo-bin, once the CEO of Samsung Life Insurance, it has been run
by generations of one of the world's wealthiest families, formerly by chairman Lee Kun-Hee, the
third son of the founder, Lee Byung-Chull.
Many major South Korean corporations such as CJ Corporation, Hansol Group, Shinsegae
Group and Joong-AngIlbo daily newspaper were previously part of the Samsung Group. Though
they are still controlled by ex-Chairman Lee Kun-hee's relatives, they are no longer officially
Samsung affiliates. Some leading companies in South Korea, notably MP3 player manufacturer
iriverand search engine portal Naver, were established by ex-Samsung employees. A large number
of South Korean firms, particularly those in the electronics industry, are dependent on Samsung for
the supply of vital components or raw materials such as semiconductor chips or LCD panels. This
has led to continued allegations of price fixing and monopolistic practices. Samsung Group also
owns the Sungkyunkwan University, a major private university in South Korea.
Samsung Group accounts for more than 20% of South Korea's total exports and in many
domestic industries, Samsung Group is the sole monopoly dominating a single market, its revenue
as large as some countries' total GDP. In 2006, Samsung Group would have been the 34th largest
23

economy in the world if ranked, larger than that of Argentina. The company has a powerful
influence on the country's economic development, politics, media and culture, being a major
driving force behind the Miracle on the Han River; many businesses today use its international
success as a role model.
3.2 HISTORY
In1938, Lee Byung-chull (1910–1987) of the large landowning family in the Uiryeong
county came to the nearby Daegu city and founded Samsung Sanghoe , a small trading company
with forty employees located in Su-dong (now Ingyo-dong). It dealt in greengrocery and dried fish
produced in and around the city, and the noodles, ByeolpyoGuksu produced itselves. The company
prospered and Lee moved its head office to Seoul in 1947. When the Korean War broke out,
however, he was forced to leave Seoul and started a sugar refinery in Busan as a name of
CheilJedang. It was the first South Korea’s sugar manufacturing facility. After the war, in 1954,
Lee founded CheilMojik and built the plant in Chimsan-dong, Daegu. It was the largest woolen mill
ever in the country and the company took on an aspect of a major company.
Samsung diversified into many areas and Lee sought to establish Samsung as an industry leader
in a wide range of enterprises. The company started moving into businesses such as insurance,
securities, and retail. South Korean President Park Chung-hee’s regime during the 1960s and 1970s
would prove a boon for Samsung. Park placed great importance on industrialization, and focused
his economic development strategy on a handful of large domestic conglomerates, protecting them
from competition and assisting them financially. Samsung was one of these companies. Park
banned several foreign companies from selling consumer electronics in South Korea in order to
protect Samsung from foreign competition and nurture an electronics manufacturing sector that was
in its infancy.
In the late 1960s, Samsung Group began the electronics industry. It formed several
electronics-related divisions, such as Samsung Electronics Devices Co., Samsung Electro-
Mechanics Co., Samsung Corning Co., and Samsung Semiconductor & Telecommunications Co.,
and made the facility in Suwon. Its first product was a black-and-white television set. In 1980, the
company acquired Hangukjeonjatongsin in Gumi, and started to build telecommunications
devices. Its early products were switchboards. The facility were developed into the telephone and
fax manufacturing systems and became the centre of Samsung's mobile phone manufacturing. They
24
REPORT ON ORGANISATIONAL STUDY AT SAMSUNG INDIA PVT. LTD. ,COCHIN
have produced over 800 million mobile phones to date. The company grouped them together under
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. in the 1980s.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Samsung Electronics invested heavily in research and
development, investments that were pivotal in pushing the company to the forefront of the global
electronics industry. “By the 1980s Samsung was manufacturing, shipping, and selling a wide range
of appliances and electronic products throughout the world”. In 1982, it built a television assembly
plant in Portugal; in 1984, it built a $25 million plant in New York; and in 1987, it built another
$25 million facility in England.
The 1990s saw Samsung rise as an international corporation. Not only did it acquire a
number of businesses abroad, but also began leading the way in certain electronic components.
Samsung's construction branch was awarded a contract to build one of the two Petronas
Towers in Malaysia, Taipei 101 in Taiwan and the BurjKhalifa in United Arab Emirates (founded
by CallumCuirtis), which is the tallest structure ever constructed.In 1993 and in order to change the
strategy from the imitating cost-leader to the role of a differentiator, Lee Kun-hee, Lee Byung-
chull’s successor, sold off ten of Samsung Group's subsidiaries, downsized the company, and
merged other operations to concentrate on three industries: electronics, engineering, and chemicals.
In 1996, the Samsung Group reacquired the Sungkyunkwan University foundation.
Compared to other major Korean companies, Samsung survived the Asian financial crisis
of 1997-98 relatively unharmed. However, Samsung Motor, a $5 billion venture was sold to
Renault at a significant loss. Additionally, Samsung manufactured a range of aircraft from 1980 to
1990s. The company was founded in 1999 as Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the result of
merger between then three domestic major Aerospace divisions of Samsung Aerospace, Daewoo

POLICY AND GOALS
The 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development highlighted the need to
regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which have a direct impact on climate change. Under the
ground-breaking Kyoto Protocol, signatory countries are required to reduce their combined GHG
emissions by 5.2% from 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012.
Samsung Electronics recognizes that governments as well as companies have
responsibilities to address the global challenges posed by climate change. Samsung Electronics
supports global mandatory cuts of greenhouse gas emissions of at least 50% by 2050 (from 1990
levels) and mandatory domestic cuts by industrialized countries of at least 30% as a group by
2020. The company also calls for global greenhouse gas emissions to peak by 2015.
To date, the company has focused on its direct impacts; reducing CO2 emissions during
manufacturing processes via a range of energy-saving initiatives and improving the energy
efficiency of its products. Future plans will expand Samsung Electronics' GHG emission reduction
efforts to cover additional direct impact areas such as logistics and indirect sources where possible.
Samsung Electronics has participated in several voluntary government-led initiatives on
climate change in Korea, where 60% of our workforce and the majority of our operations are based.
These include:
Pilot CO2 emission trading program supported by the Korea Energy Management Corp
(KEMCO)
National Korean Greenhouse Gas Register (trial project)
Voluntary agreements to reduce energy consumption in all Samsung Electronics workplaces
in Korea via the Catch CO2 Project
Agreement on Response to Climate Change and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases with
KEMCO
Reduction Goals for emissions of GHGs
Samsung Electronics sets reduction targets for emissions of GHGs in terms of targets in
absolute emissions and relative emissions.
Reduction target for absolute GHG emissions
