KEY FACTORS OF SUCCESS IN SAMSUNG SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS
1) Chairman Byung-Chull Lee was committed to the business.
2) Many U.S. semiconductor companies including Intel abandoned manufacturing of memory chips in 1986. In the early 1990s, a vacuum was created in the U.S. market due to the agreement between the U.S. and Japanese governments on restricting export volumes of Japanese chips.
3) Samsung-affiliated companies provided manpower and money needed for starting the semiconductor business.
4) Internal competition was encouraged among departments within Samsung Semiconductor for next generation products. Objective criteria were set up to evaluate the performance of the people within the company.
AS A RESULT, SAMSUNG SEMICONDUCTOR BECAME THE LEADER IN MEMORY CHIP BUSINESS.

1) Causal ambiguityOutsiders have difficulty in identifying mechanisms.Competitors have difficulty in imitation (Coca-Cola).
2) Path dependenceSelf-reinforcing as well as self-destructive (large p
rojects).
3) Inertia Resistance to any changesNo mechanism is perfect!

1) Competitive strategy
Cost leadership and differentiation strategies can be concurrently pursu
ed.
2) Diversification strategy
Relatedness in diversification should be judged not by the SIC code, but
by transferability of existing mechanisms.
3) Industrial policy
The mechanism for developing and implementing industrial policies is as
important as, if not more important than, their content.

1) Traditional strategy: adapting to changes in environment.In reality, environment adaptation can lead to survival,
but no more. (Chameleons, Aborigines)
2) New wave of strategy: creating resources. (P&H, Nonaka) Yet, resource creators are bound to hyper-competition.
(D’Aveni)
3) Road to sustained industry leadership:
