The headquarters ofSamsung Sanghoein Daegu in the late-1930s

In 1938,[16]

Lee Byung-chull(19101987) of a large landowning family in theUiryeongcounty came to

the nearbyDaegucity and founded Samsung Sanghoe (), a small trading company with forty

employees located in Su-dong (now Ingyo-dong). It dealt in groceries produced in and around the city

and produced its own noodles. The company prospered and Lee moved its head office to Seoul in

1947. When theKorean Warbroke out, however, he was forced to leave Seoul and started a sugar

refinery inBusanas a name ofCheil Jedang. After the war, in 1954, Lee foundedCheil Mojikand 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, moving into businesses such as insurance, securities, and retail. Lee

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.

In 1948, Cho Hong-jai (the Hyosung groups founder) jointly invested in a new company called

Samsung Mulsan Gongsa (), or the Samsung Trading Corporation, with the SamsungGroup founder Lee Byung-chull. The trading firm grew to become the present-day Samsung C&T

Corporation. But after some years Cho and Lee separated due differences in management between

them. He wanted to get up to a 30% group share. After settlement, Samsung Group was separated

into Samsung Group andHyosungGroup,Hankook Tire...etc.[17][18]

In the late 1960s, Samsung Group entered into 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 inSuwon. Its first product was a black-and-white television set.

The SPC-1000, introduced in 1982, was Samsung's first personal computer (Korean market only) and uses an

audiocassette tapeto load and save data - thefloppy drivewas optional[19]

In 1980, Samsung acquired theGumi-based Hanguk Jeonja Tongsin and entered the

telecommunications hardware industry. 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 have produced over 800 million mobile phones to date.[20]

The

company grouped them together under Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. in the 1980s.

After the founder's death in 1987, Samsung Group was separated into four business groups -

Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group,CJ Groupand Hansol Group.[21]

Shinsegae (discount store,

department store) was originally part of Samsung Group, separated in the 1990s from the Samsung

Group along with CJ Group (Food/Chemicals/Entertainment/logistics) and the Hansol Group

(Paper/Telecom). Today these separated groups are independent and they are not part of or

connected to the Samsung Group.[22]One Hansol Group representative said, "Only people ignorant of

the laws governing the business world could believe something so absurd," adding, "When Hansol

separated from the Samsung Group in 1991, it severed all payment guarantees and share-holding

ties with Samsung affiliates." One Hansol Group source asserted, "Hansol, Shinsegae, and CJ have

been under independent management since their respective separations from the Samsung Group."

One Shinsegae Department Store executive director said, "Shinsegae has no payment guarantees

associated with the Samsung Group."[22]

In the 1980s, Samsung Electronics began to invest heavily in research and development, investments

that were pivotal in pushing the company to the forefront of the global electronics industry. In 1982, it

built a television assembly plant in Portugal; in 1984, a plant in New York; in 1985, a plant in Tokyo; in

1987, a facility inEngland; and another facility inAustinin 1996. In total, Samsung has invested about

$5.6 billion in the Austin location by far the largest foreign investment inTexasand one of the

largest singleforeign investmentsin theUnited States. The new investment will bring the total

Samsung investment in Austin to more than $9 billion.[23]

[edit]1990 to 2000

Samsung started to rise as an international corporation in the 1990s.Samsung's construction

branchwas awarded a contract to build one of the twoPetronas TowersinMalaysia,Taipei

101inTaiwanand theBurj KhalifainUnited Arab Emirates.[24]

In 1993,Lee Kun-heesold 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

theSungkyunkwan Universityfoundation.

For a company of its size Samsung has made relatively few acquisitions.[38]

Rollei Swiss watch battle

Samsung Techwinacquired a German camera-makerRolleion 1995. Samsung (Rollei) used

its optic expertise on the crystals of a new line of 100% Swiss-made watches, designed by a

team of watchmakers at Nouvelle Piquerez S.A. in Bassequort,Switzerland. Rolex's decision

to fight Rollei on every front stemmed from the close resemblance between the two names

and fears that its sales would suffer as a consequence. In the face of such a threat, the

Geneva firm decided to confront. Rolex, this was also a demonstration of the Swiss watch

industry's determination to defend itself when an established brand is threatened. Rolex sees

this front-line battle as vital for the entire Swiss watch industry. Rolex has succeeded in

keeping Rollei out of the German market. On 11 March 1995 the Cologne District court

prohibited the advertising and sale of Rollei watches on German territory.[39][40]

Fokker, a Dutch aircraft maker

Samsung lost a chance to revive its failed bid to take over Dutch aircraft maker Fokker when

other airplane makers rejected its offer to form a consortium. The three proposed partners

Hyundai, Hanjin and Daewoo have notified the South Korean government that they will not

join Samsung Aerospace Industries Ltd.[41]

AST Research

Samsung bought AST (1994) and tried to break into North America, but the effort foundered.

Samsung was forced to close the California-based computer maker following mass defection

of research staff and a string of losses.

FUBUclothing and apparel

In 1992, Daymond John had started the company with a hat collection that was made in his

house in the Queens area of New York City. To fund the company, John had to mortgage his

house for $100,000. With his friends, namely J. Alexander Martin, Carl Brown and Keith
