ventures to achieve their goals and objectives under different conditions of the uncertainties.

Strategy is also necessary for the business organizations because the resources which are

available to these goals and objectives are limited (Mohr, Sengupta and Slater, 2009). In order to

have effective functioning, leaders and managers have to implement some specific strategies so

that there employees gets motivated and organization able to achieve their goals and objectives

in a significant manner. In order to meet this strategy, top managers and executives makes

strategic planning as well and deliberately divide all the important resources in order meet the

objectives of enterprise. Further, strategic management is also the part of the same topic and top

owners consider both internal and external resources for making an effective decision by

Further, the company is treated as a world's largest manufacturer of mobile as well as

smartphones in the line of electronic devices. Samsung is also a major seller of tablet computers

Strategic business challenges are faced by each and every business ventures and Samsung

is not apart from the same (MARKETING THEORIES – PESTEL ANALYSIS. 2015). With so

much stiff competition in the electronics world, business organization have to change their

policies and procedures by considering the product and price of their competitors (Mozota, 2005).

Mentioned company is considered as a largest vendor of the smartphones but their global market

has slipped down by 1% as compared with the sale of the year 2014 and this is the ventures first

decline in almost half a decade. This generally happened because apart from the global company

like Apple and Windows Lumia, company is also getting a tough competition from manufactures

of China like Huawei and Lenovo along with Xiaomi. These phones having high end

specifications and are available at low costs.

Further, as stated above Apple is the primary competitor of cited firm and produce

phones with better specifications and company is planning to make entry in new market. The

price of the Apple's product are relatively high but people consider this brand as a status and

reputation in the society and make purchase even they are beyond the limit of the budgets (Füller

and et.al., 2006). However, with all these consequences, Samsung having a base of their loyal

customers throughout the globe and mentioned and mentioned company is able to increase their

sale of their electronics along with mobile product's year by year.

In order to solve this problem, top executives of the cited firm have to take some relative

steps so that they will be able to attract more of the customers towards their products. Mentioned

company can focus on following strategies:

Product innovation: Samsung having vast product range which constitutes CCTV audio

and video products, mobile phones, television and home appliances. Further, innovation

is taking place daily in today'c competitive world and technicians and engineers of the


Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


cited firm are also focusing on giving best of the products specifications to the

individuals at an affordable price.

Pricing: Pricing generally plays a significant role in success of Samsung as company take

cares of all the demographic segmentation (Michalek, Feinberg and Papalambros, 2005).

Company having products which has relative high range which satisfies the needs of

customers and also have products for middle class and lower class people.

Distribution: Distribution for company plays a crucial role and cited firm having an

effective distribution system along with an attracting dealer interface. This dealer

interface helps the firm to get the effective feedback from the dealers and makes

company liable to launch the products according to the need and demands of the

customers.

Effective promotional strategies: In order to attract customers and also to attract large

customers base, mentioned company having an effective promotional strategy which

diverts the mind of target audience towards the company's product, further, celebrity

endorsement also help the company to sell more of the product in particular country. For

instance, in India actor Shahid Kapoor is promoting the Samsung J series phones and

with the help of it mentioned company is able to increase the sale of the particular

product.

However, if we talk about Samsung's vision statement than there is no such official

mission of the venture but it is generally expressed with the help of organization philosophy only.

It states “At Samsung, we follow a simple business philosophy: to devote our talent and

technology to creating superior products and services that contribute to a better global society.”

Further, for 2020 vision, company having their vision statement which states that company is

committing to inspire its communities with the help of key strengths i.e. New Technology,

Innovative Products and Creative Solutions (Chapman, 2005).

On the other hand, organization mission is to become the best digital company of the

world and for this company is producing more of the innovative products which will help them

to face the challenges which they are getting from their major competitors.

productive design and business strategy to establish the dominant market position and bring

sustainability in the long run (Crumpacker and Crumpacker, 2007). The company has been

successful in capturing the attention of the customers. In the areas of its operation, consumer

electronics and home appliances, policies are framed by the management by bringing into it the

innovation strategies, product design philosophies, localization of products and the product

design outsourcing. Samsung has a competitive edge in the market due to its distinguished

interplay of innovation and strategic management. To consolidate the large stream of customers

with the company, Samsung adopts Porter's generic strategies.

home appliances and its high level strategy framed in the context is analyzed in different aspects:

and wants of customers. Keeping in consideration the global perspective, the designed

products are made.

Samsung understands the importance of brand and branding, maximizes long term

growth by launching innovative products in different market segments.

The company builds the long term relational constructs with the suppliers and partners to

provide the best products (Porter, 2008).

Samsung's focus is on continuous improvement through the research and development by

inculcating three fundamental components into the strategy: innovation, marketing and

design.


Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


Samsung's strategies are categorized in two areas:

Fundamental activities: The basic areas of strategies framed by organization in the primary

activities are Network promotion and contact development, service provisioning and

infrastructure operation.

Network Promotion: Offering the range of products in the number of countries brings in

the demand of better connectivity and networking with the suppliers and customers. The

customer service providers functions to enhance the networking (Rossi, 2010). This

enables Samsung to consolidation the large number of customers. Samsung's network

identity is identified and it is inferred that it has the prominent position in the structure of

actors, resources and activities. It also holds the strong relationship with the other

networking firms. This unique feature is one of the core area in strategy build by

Samsung.

focus o the product and service positioning. It widens the vertical and horizontal scope of

business in all the other of its such as in consumer electronics and home appliances.

strategy and implementation in the company. It is the USP of Samsung (Salem Khalifa,

2012). For the efficient infrastructure operation, It can be assessed that USP of Samsung

is that it provides high quality technology products at reasonable price. Thus, business is

trying to become a global brand in order to develop trust and recognition among people

and fulfill the expectation of people. However, the importance of USP is such that it

helps business to increase the company's brand value and increase demand among people.

Samsung adopts ARA model which states initiating actor bonds, encouraging resource

ties that is the better coordination and inter dependencies and the activity links. Further, it

can be stated that business needs to undertake such model as it is very significant for

them in order to enhance sales and profits. Moreover, Samsung corporation is required to

undertake effective application of Unique Competing Space (UCS) and the Value

Proposition frameworks so that high level strategic planning can be done. Further, it can

be assessed that through implementing such type of practice business can attain high

level of strategic analysis so that unique competing space framework can be developed.

However, implementing such high level strategic analysis within business helps firm to

provide big picture so that strategic challenge can be developed. Further, in order to attain

competitive advantage Porter's Five Forces so that best external factors and competition

can be analyzed in order to gain best results.

Threat of market entry- It is low as there are major firms operating within the industry

such as Samsung, Apple and HTC which benefits the economies of scales in order to gain

cost advantage. However, such benefit is not provided to new market entrants.

Integrated Summary of Strategic AnalysisUnder this segment, Samsung has to cover the overall corporate scenario and have to

make a suitable decision so that company gets a competitive advantage over their major

competitors and able to increase their market share as well (Tokatli,Wrigley and Kizilgün, 2008).

By considering this fact, cited firm can focus on following points which are discussed down

under:

Market entry strategy: Market entry strategy is a type of planned method of delivering

goods and services to a new target market and organization focuses on distributing there

in order to increase their brand image and share. Further, at the time of importing and

a new geographical area or use genuine sales channels to promote their existing products

and services. It includes merger and acquisition. It is a situation where two companies

come together and forms an entity by considering the lawful consolidation.

Under this, company has to see the location of the new venture and also have to consider the

needs and demands of the individuals so that they will produce only those goods and services

which gives them maximum level of satisfaction. For this, HR manager of the firm have to make

a primary research and this process will genuinely help them to reduce the operational cost and

give them a significant advantage (Uniqueness of Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. 2015).

Substantive growth strategy: Substantive growth for Samsung incur with both related

and unrelated diversification and it consists of developing new products and services to a

brand new market. Further, company can grow their market by entering into franchisee

agreement without making a real big investment. Further, cited firm can also use


Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


horizontal integration and can get merge with another company of the same industry

(Hills and Thom, 2005). This step will generally help the company because they will be

able to cover more of the market in no time. This horizontal integration will also increase

the monopolistic power of the company and they will surely enjoy some sort of

advantage as compared with the firms in same industry

Limited growth strategy: Limited growth strategy comes into play with the help of

market or product development. Innovation can also lead to success and Samsung can

focus on it in order to achieve their mission and vision in significant manner. Under this,

mentioned company can focus on some of the major points and these have been discussed

down under:

◦ Nothing alternative- Mentioned company should not take any significant change in

the limited growth environment and can continue their operations normally like the

things are going on (Mama and Kruger, 2012). Samsung can only focus on retaining

the existing market share.

◦ Development of product- Under this, cited firm will modify their existing gadgets

and items or modify them in order to increase the market penetration.

◦ Innovation- With so much intense competition, Samsung has to bring all innovative

products in coming future in order to retain their customers. Though, mentioned

company also have a large loyal customers base but they have to retain those who

have left purchasing the product and choose competitors brand.

◦ Retrenchment strategy: It is the strategy used by the businesses in order to reduce the

diversity or the overall size of operations of the firm. However, such strategy is often

Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


Further, there are varied businesses who withdraws from certain markets in order to

make a beneficial turnaround. Retrenchment strategy is treated as most unattractive

strategy which at times leads to dissolving and closure of business venture. However,

at times if Samsung faces problems like decrease in sale turnover then cited firm can

opt following techniques:

Turnaround strategies- It means that withdrawing or retreating from a decision wrongly

taken in order to reverse the process of decline.

Divestment strategies- It states that the sale and liquidation of a portion of firm in order

to restructure the plan and prove to be unsuccessful or ignored.

Liquidation strategies- It states that at the time when entire business is closing down and

firm is selling its assets. Thus, it is considered the most extreme and the last resort

because it leads to serious consequences such as loss of employment for employees etc.

◦ Revenue generation- Under this, mentioned company will majorly focus on

generating the revenue and for this, Samsung will raise the price of their most

demanding product or can focus on working at the debtor turnover ratio (Olson, Slater

and Hult, 2005).

◦ Reduction in asset- Some assets which are not used by the venture can be sold off to

incur some revenue. Moreover, company can also sell their handsets which are not in

demand at cheaper rate so that they will be able to clear their pending stock.

organization gets decreased then the company can boost up the profit by reducing the

cost of the gadgets (Porter, 2008).


Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


Selection Of One Strategic OptionBy considering the above topic and to grow successfully in coming time period, cited

firm have to use substantive growth strategy in order to increase the market share and also the

revenue and productivity. Under this, cited firm can sell their existing or new products and

services to the brand new market. With more stores, outlets and offices, company will able to

grow more and simultaneously it will attract individuals towards their products. However, while

growing in other countries, they have to significantly take care of the climatic environment and

must conduct SWOT and PESTLE analysis for the particular area (Rossi, 2010).

Moreover, the retail outlet should be near to the customer's preference as they do not have to

travel long in order to purchase that product. With the implication of this, mentioned company

will be able to develop a loyal customer base and this will give boost to the revenue and

profitability of the firm. Further, mentioned company need to develop an effective dealer who



[email protected]




Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


can sell the organization products with a clear cut margin without hiding any cost from the

company. If things such happened, then Samsung will cut the dealership and it will have a

negative impact of the dealer venture on customers.

In this strategy, mentioned company can focus on franchisee agreement as it is the most

appropriate and widely exercised strategy. Further, with the implementation of it, Samsung can

start its effective services without any real investment and it will save the cost of land and plant

for the firm. Further, franchising is treated as a long term cooperative relationship between the

two entities i.e. franchisor and franchisees.

On the other hand, cited firm can focus on three major strategy in this segment to

increase their market share as well as revenue (Grant, 2009). Here, it can be evaluated that

Samsung is required to undertake market development strategic option so that firm can focus on

new target market in order to attract new consumers with existing product line. Samsung can

focus on following growth strategies (Füller and et.al., 2006).

Market development: Under this segment, cited firm focuses on targeting the new

market with the help of the existing products so that Samsung able to increase the base

of their loyal customers more efficiently and effectively. Samsung focuses on adapting

the strategy by launching their galaxy android phones to the Indian market. Samsung's

first android model was GT- 17500 and company feel that India is the potential market.

However, there were many controversies and rivals were considering India as a poor

market but Samsung was having faith in it and launched its android phone in the year

2009. This was the only time when sale of the company was boosted up and since that

time the flood of android phone came in the market and people are using it extensively

(Veryzer, 2005). However, implementing such tactic helps in Samsung to develop its


Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


market by targeting new customers with the existing products. Thus, it helps firm to

build the target market and determine their needs so that best products and services can

be delivered to them. Also, it assists business to enhance the sales and profitability of

firm in market. Thus, adopting market development strategy helps Samsung to develop

its target market and thus gain new customers within existing markets so that sales and

profitability can be attained.

Critical Reflection of Implications Of Recommended StrategiesAs stated in above topic, Samsung can implement market development strategy in

order to increase the productivity and revenue of the cited firm (The Ansoff Matrix.

2015). This technique will be more beneficial as by proper scanning of the environment,

cited firm can expand its target market with existing product line and attain maximum

sales. Further, this will have a positive impact on the organization performance as with

high number of customers, firm will be able to increase the base of the loyal customers

and simultaneously organization will be able to achieve their goals and objectives as

well (Adner and Levinthal, 2004). Through developing target market, mentioned

company will be able to sell their products and citizens of that country will come to

know about Samsung and their different product specifications. Moreover, their might

be some existing competitors as well but mentioned company will try to overcome that

because organization having a global brand image whole over the world and with the

effective search, citizens of that country will come to know about the products and

services of the company.

Moreover, the mentioned strategy will be beneficial in each and every manner as

with the construction work will be in progress, it will give employment to many people


Toll Free No. +44 203 8681 670


and it will give them a source of earning as well. Further, with the construction of the

office, firm will recruit skilled and talented individuals which will give them

employment for a long tenure and with the help of it they will be able to live a secured

life (Baines, Fill and Page, 2013). Further, the development of new technologies in the

field of gadgets as well as in the electronics will attract more of the customers towards

the product and with the help of it firm will be able to increase the market share.

Consequently, mentioned company will also give stiff competition to their major

competitor which is Apple.

Furthermore, skilled labour is also a point to think on as of company do not find the

skilled labour then the production process will not take place effectively and the

existence of the labour will also make a burden on the firm as it will increase the

operational as well as administrative cost for the firm.
