How did Samsung become so big?

polo · 21 Jan 2023, 02:47 AM

I've always wondered how Samsung has become so big now especially in TV and smartphones. 20 years ago, I never thought of buying electronics from them always TV/VCR/DVD/etc. from the likes of Sony, Panasonic, JVC....

Any ideas please?

I was surprised that the company started as a grocery store.

This is kinda a rhetorical question, but what's your point Avion? I'm sure polo knows what he/she has already said..

My reasoning was, the posts appeared to be duplicated.

To me, that appeared to be cross-posting, which is not allowed under the forum rules. However, upon re-reading the forum rules, I may be in error.

Rule 'H' states:

Quote:

H) Do not post the same information two or more times to different Forums (no "cross-posting")

As the posts were in the same forum, with a few word changes/omissions, I guess that's allowed.

Avion - I thought it was obvious why I posted again - I created a new thread just for the subject "How did Samsung becomes so big?" as it might attract more discussion than in the "4 v 6 Head VCRs - Panasonic don't make them?" thread....

But it doesn't look like it has. Maybe everyone is on holiday!
