reflect the stories and the principles that a company believe in. According to Kopaneva (2013),
company’s Mission and Vision play vital roles in the life of the company and well being of its

company main objectives. Concerning vision, it provides a future picture of the company, and it

SAMSUNG
8 people. The founder Byung- Chul Lee in 1960s ascended the significance of human resources.
He claimed that the main success of the company is its employees and they can define the fate
of the company(Shin and Kim, 2015). It further suggested that Samsung classifies quality
problems into the quality of output, staff and the quality of administration. It is a common belief
that the product quality directly influences the survival of a company in the market. Whereas,
Samsung has controlled according to the thought that improving the quality of employees and
management can improve the product and service quality.
Based on Shin and Kim (2015), research another quality of Samsung is making a
significant decision at the correct time. As Samsung built Samsung electronic Express Belt,
where units are interconnected with one another so they can cooperate promptly. The time take
to produce goods, create production system, increase production can be decreased significantly
in comparison to rivals due to fast and regular communication amongst Production Sectors and
Research and Development Sectors.
Regarding motivating people to reach a better quality, the double sourcing of Samsung

at the same time. This method improves productivity and cuts cost (Shin and Kim, 2015). They
further acknowledged that Samsung Electronics did his accent on the business management
framework of forecasting and preparing for future changes. The corporation has dynamically
