Business analysis and linking to case study

Based on exhibit, article on Samsung (Financial Times), make sure you understand: • The basic premise of the article, and do some basic research on recent/current industries Samsung is in. • Be familiar with tools that compare competition of companies based on core product features. For example, are there groups of companies providing similar attributes of products, and what are the consequences? • A failure to link parts of the organization together is a disconnected gap that can be benefited from which methodology? Suggest ideas of such utility. • Are national cultures relevant to a particular kind of management responsible (eg. inhwa)? If so, explain how and why. • Are failures also something to do with not understanding how objectives are properly understood within all parts of the organization, and if so are there tools that can help map them out? • Has the product failure something to do with not being consistent with its purpose, and inability to deliver that? If so, how can we understand this better? • Do you think the company was ‘in control’ of itself, and if not are there models of control that can assess if this is the case?
