Samsung Electronics was founded in 1938 in South Korea. It has since grown to become a global leader in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and semiconductors. Some of its major products include smartphones, televisions, home appliances, and memory chips. Samsung has transformed from a cheap OEM manufacturer to a high-value brand through innovation and new marketing strategies. It aims to continue developing innovative technologies and exploring new areas like healthcare and biotechnology to remain a trusted market leader.
The document provides an overview and strategic assessment of the US displays industry in January 2011. It finds that the US industry includes over 130 businesses in the display value chain, with average revenues of $140 million. It identifies several themes for the industry, including that the largest players like 3M and Corning still dominate but face new challenges, and that the US has a strong position in areas like touch technology and microdisplays due to support from the government and military applications. However, the document also notes mixed results for intellectual property and licensing businesses, and questions if more can be done to support equipment manufacturers and novel materials companies in the US.
Samsung Electronics is a major South Korean electronics company. It produces mobile phones, home appliances, semiconductors, and other electronic devices. The document discusses Samsung's business overview, products, SWOT analysis, impact of COVID-19, and recommendations. It recommends that Samsung target the middle and upper-class markets with more premium product lines, and price products more competitively.
This document provides an overview of the consumer electronics industry in India, with a focus on the television market. It discusses the history and growth of the industry since liberalization. Currently, the top players in the television market are LG, Samsung, Sony and Videocon. The document also analyzes the industry using Porter's Five Forces model, finding that competitive rivalry and bargaining power of buyers are very high, while threats of substitution and bargaining power of suppliers are low. Barriers to entry for new competitors are also low.
Samsung was founded in 1938 in Korea as a trading company. It expanded into industries like sugar refining and textiles. In the 1960s, Samsung entered electronics and built its first TV factory in 1970. It began exporting color TVs in 1977. In the 1980s, Samsung invested heavily in R&D and expanded globally. By the 1990s, it grew as an international electronics corporation. Currently, Samsung has over 325,000 employees worldwide and focuses on electronics, engineering and chemicals with a vision of inspiring the world through innovation.
The document discusses the DotCom bubble that occurred in the late 1990s in California. New internet-related companies saw a surge in investment and stock prices due to the potential of e-commerce. However, the bubble burst in 2002 when stock prices rapidly collapsed as interest rates increased and the US faced terrorist attacks. While many companies failed, some like Google and Amazon still exist and grew to become major companies, showing the lasting impact of the DotCom boom.
BlackBerry was once a dominant player in the mobile industry, popularizing on-the-go email and messaging. However, it failed to adapt to the rise of touchscreen smartphones led by Apple's iPhone. BlackBerry stuck to physical keyboards and its proprietary OS rather than adopting multi-touch screens and more open platforms. As a result, it rapidly lost market share as consumers and developers shifted to Android and iOS alternatives. Kodak similarly dominated the photography industry for decades but was slow to transition to digital. It missed opportunities in digital cameras and struggled to change its business model away from film as digital photography grew. Both companies' inability to adapt their business strategies and technologies in response to market changes ultimately led to their decline.
1) The document discusses Samsung Electronics' strategy for international success through analyzing its global strategies using various international business theories.
2) It summarizes Samsung's history, starting in Korea in 1969 and expanding globally through joint ventures for technology and new facilities.
3) Samsung benefited from internalizing markets by acquiring suppliers to gain advantages in areas like coordination, pricing, and stability. This helped enable its continued global expansion.

What steps do you think schools can or should take to promote our democracy in today’s very diverse country?
Food festivals and celebrating a cultural holiday will not be accepted as an answer. Those are examples of tokenism to make the dominant culture feel like they are doing something. These two activities are fun and interesting, but not how we will strengthen our democracy.

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.
If Statement of Purpose 1.0. isn’t the best map it can be for th.

“…if one of the primary purposes of education is to teach young people the skills, knowledge, and critical awareness to become productive members of a diverse and democratic society, a broadly conceptualize multicultural education can have a decisive influence.” Textbook page 338.
What steps do you think schools can or should take to promote our democracy in today’s very diverse country?
Food festivals and celebrating a cultural holiday will not be accepted as an answer. Those are examples of tokenism to make the dominant culture feel like they are doing something. These two activities are fun and interesting, but not how we will strengthen our democracy.

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.
If Statement of Purpose 1.0. isn’t the best map it can be for th.

Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

••• JONATHAN LETHEM CRITICS OFTEN USE the word prolifi.docxanhlodge
- Jonathan Lethem is known for publishing many novels, stories, essays and other works across different genres. He is described as a "protean" or shape-shifting writer.
- Lethem believes creativity comes from influence and interaction with other works, not isolated originality. He celebrates the "ecstasy of influence" where culture is built upon what came before through borrowing and remixing.
- Many artists, including musicians, visual artists and writers, engage in practices that borrow and reuse elements from other works but these practices are seen as essential to creativity rather than plagiarism. Appropriation and remixing are at the core of cultural production.

A National Profile of
the Real Estate Industry and
the Appraisal Profession
by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue .docxanhlodge
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.

2. Sarah McIvor, CA, a junior partner with Price Waterhouse
Coopers, had been selected to conduct a
financial review of Gemini Electronics Ltd. Gemini was an up-
start American electronics company that
recently went public and now wanted to expand its business in
order to rival major Korean and Japanese
producers. Before the company finalized any expansion plans,
Dr. Frank Wang, the founder, felt it was
prudent to conduct an independent evaluation of Gemini’s
financial condition.
Having managed a number of audits of leading companies in the
industry, McIvor’s knowledge of
consumer electronics was extensive. If the report was well-
received by Gemini, this would mean a lot of
additional auditing and consulting business for her firm and a
promotion to senior partner. She decided to
clear her desk of all other files and to focus on the Gemini
account for the next two weeks.
COMPANY FORMATION
Gemini Electronics was a U.S.-based manufacturer of
televisions (TVs). The company was founded in
2002 by Frank Wang, a second-generation American of Chinese
descent. As part of his PhD studies in
electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology
(CIT) in the early 1990s, Wang participated
in a number of basic research projects relating to the
development of liquid crystal displays (LCD). Despite
being only a doctoral student, he made a number of significant
3. contributions to these projects and came in
contact with venture capitalists who were working with CIT to
commercialize this important work.
Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Wang became very
interested in the business side of research and
development (R&D). His plan after graduation was not to
pursue a career in teaching and research as most
of his colleagues wanted to do but to build a major electronics
firm to rival the likes of Samsung, Sony and
LG. Not only would he bring honour and wealth to himself and
his extended family, but he felt strongly
that such an enterprise would allow the United States to re-
establish itself as a major manufacturer of
consumer electronic products. Since the 1980s the United States
continued to make major contributions in
the area of basic research, but most of the design and
manufacturing was done by firms in countries such as
Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Wang’s goal was to reverse this
trend.

decision to return to his father’s home country of Taiwan and
work for a number of electronics contract
manufacturers there who did TV work for the Koreans and
Japanese. Wang stayed in Taiwan for nearly six
years before returning to the U.S. with his young family.
Immediately upon his arrival, he went to work
promoting his business plan for Gemini Electronics to venture
capitalists in California.
Gemini was going to produce big-screen LCD and plasma TVs
for the U.S. market. Wang hoped to
capitalize on American patriotism and disappointment over the
loss of so many U.S. brands such as RCA,
Zenith, Quazar and Motorola to other countries. He planned to
cater primarily to big box retailers such as
Best Buy, Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart and Target who wanted
to shorten their supply chains by sourcing
TVs in North America. Gemini would produce its TVs on a just-
in-time basis and pass on most of the
distribution savings (transportation and warehousing) to the
consumer. This would allow Gemini to
quickly build market share in the U.S., Canada and Mexico by
offering prices that were considerably
below the competition.
RAPID GROWTH
By 2005 this strategy had proven to be a great success. Gemini
was the largest TV producer in the U.S.
with a 35 per cent market share. Major retailers quickly agreed
to carry the brand because of its reputation
for excellent quality at an affordable price. Gemini was
becoming a source of great concern for its major
competitors Samsung, Sony and LG. Due to changing
10. technology, Gemini decided to focus on just LCD
TVs but had added a number of additional products such as
DVD players (HD and Blue Ray), home
theatre sound systems and cable sets. The venture capitalists
had taken the company public in December
2004.
In addition to a deep recession in 2008 and 2009, in late 2009 a
major threat emerged as Gemini’s Korean
and Japanese competitors began lowering their prices to
comparable levels. With the falling U.S. dollar,
brought on by that country’s large trade deficit, and Gemini’s
significant advantage in logistic costs, it was
felt these lower prices were not sustainable. Of greater worry
were a number of technological trends. First,
Sony announced that it would introduce a 3-D TV by summer
2010, and other major producers were
expected to quickly follow. Initially, prices for these new
products would be high and 3-D recorded content
would be in short supply, but it was expected that within a few
years 3-D TVs would be the industry
standard; when this actually occurs will depend on how quickly
consumers replace their TVs again after
just having upgraded to digital/HD units. A second trend was
the need to add video phone capabilities to
TVs. With the growing popularity of Internet phone services
such as Skype, it was felt that a much higher
percentage of phone calls would be made with video. TVs
would have to accommodate the dialling of
numbers and contain video recording and voice input
capabilities. Finally, future TVs will likely have to
incorporate hardware and software so users can “surf” the Web
and read/send e-mail without a micro,
laptop or notebook computer. Gemini felt it would be able to
produce 3-D TVs within 18 months, likely in
time to meet the expected growth in demand. Introducing video
11. phones, Web browsing and e-mail
capabilities is something it can do now as all needed technology
is available; in fact, the company already
has prototypes under development.
PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION
In January 2010, Wang formed an ad hoc committee of senior
managers at Gemini to study different
growth options. One option was to continue to focus on TVs but
to expand geographically into South

America, Europe and Asia. Wang felt that geographic expansion
was wise, but he also wished to develop
Gemini’s product offering so he could compete with Samsung,
Sony and LG in all market segments.
Possibilities included smart phones, e-readers and tablets, MP3
players, game machines, advanced audio
systems and notebook, laptop and micro computers. Gemini
could design these new products internally or
expand through acquisition. Motorola had expressed interest in
17. selling its cell phone unit while Palm had
clearly stated it was looking to be acquired by a firm with
greater financial resources. Taiwan’s Acer was
disappointed with its acquisition of Gateway in 2007 and was
rumoured to want to sell. Bose had discussed
merging its audio business with a larger company that had
greater access to international markets.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Exhibits 1, 2 and 3 contain financial statements provided by
Gemini Electronics for the last five years since
the initial public offering (IPO). Exhibit 4 contains industry
averages.
OPERATIONS
Gemini had a number of advantages over its Asian competitors.
As a young and relatively small company
compared to others in the industry, it was more innovative and
less prone to bureaucratic delays and in-
fighting. The company was forced to greatly expand the number
of administrative and sales personnel in
2006 and 2007, but rapid growth soon improved efficiency.
Southern California, despite inroads from other countries, was
still the premiere location in the world for
R&D in the electronics industry. Gemini had been trying to take
advantage of this by purchasing a number
of patents from U.S. universities and expanding its own R&D
program. In 2009, Gemini opened a new
research facility on the CIT campus.
LCD TVs were large items that were expensive to ship and
18. prone to damage during their long journey
from Asian factories. These costs necessitated higher selling
prices as did the fact that retailers had to keep
larger inventories on hand to guard against supply interruptions.
Gemini’s just-in-time production and
delivery of TVs from factories in the U.S. allowed them to sell
units at greatly reduced prices despite
having to pay much more for labour in the U.S. and in Mexico
where many of their component parts were
produced.
Gemini’s production facilities were state-of-the-art as they were
only a few years old. Assembly lines were
highly automated and could be quickly changed to produce
different models, resulting in smaller
inventories of work-in-progress and finished goods to meet
retailer demand. Due to the limited amount of
electronics manufacturing being done in the U.S., Gemini still
had to source many of its parts from Asian
contractors. This meant that larger parts inventories had to be
maintained because of long delivery times.
In recent years, the company had been successful in sourcing a
much greater proportion of their parts in
North America.
Being a new American TV brand in an industry that had long
been dominated by Asian producers, Gemini
had a hard sell trying to convince major retailers that their
products were worth carrying. All appreciated
the low costs and fast delivery time, but none were sure whether
the customer could be convinced to buy
this new brand. To compensate, many retailers demanded more
generous credit terms than Net 30, which
was standard in the industry. Interest was also not charged on
overdue accounts.

Market research indicated that most Americans did not realize
that Gemini TVs were made in the United
States, so in early 2009 the company felt it was in a financial
position to begin advertising this point
heavily in TV spots. Previously, its advertising was limited to
funding product ads in store flyers.
Wang knew from experience that consumer electronics was a
very competitive industry and that Asian
competitors were long-term thinkers who were willing to
sacrifice profits in the short term to build market
share. Company policy was to maintain large cash balances to
guard against this uncertainty.
Venture capitalists funded Gemini’s start-up with a number of
rounds of financing beginning in fall 2002,
and by late 2004 they had accumulated a 45 per cent equity
stake. After just three years, the decision was
made by the venture capitalists to take the company public in an
IPO. Wang owned the remaining 55 per
cent of the company and was very concerned about losing
25. control. Subsequent to the IPO, the company
adopted a policy of paying no dividends and financing all
growth with debt; no new common shares would
be issued.
Gemini had a $500,000,000 line of credit with Wells Fargo
Bank to finance seasonal variations in net
working capital — the loan had to be 200 per cent secured by
inventory and accounts receivable. All land,
plant, equipment and some patents were financed with term
loans. These loans were negotiated with a
number of banks so Gemini could diversify its funding sources.
To comply with the line of credit and term
loans, the current ratio had to be kept above 1.5.
All inventory purchases were on terms 2/10, Net 60, and most
suppliers charged interest at 12 per cent per
annum on any overdue amounts.

Introduction: Gemini Electronics
Sarah McIvor, CA, a junior partner with Price Waterhouse Coop
ers, has been
selected to conduct a financial review of Gemini Electronics Ltd
. Gemini is an “up‐
start” American electronics company who recently went public a
nd now wants to
expand its business to rival the major Korean and Japanese prod
ucers. Before the
company finalizes any expansion plans, Dr. Wang, the founder,
feels it is prudent to
conduct an independent evaluation of Gemini’s financial conditi
on.
The two‐page evaluation memo should be divided into sections
entitled liquidity,
asset management, long‐term debt paying ability, profitability, a
nd
recommendations. It should be single‐spaced, 11‐point Arial fon
t with 0.7 inch
54. margins. All headings should be in 12‐point bold font.
In addition to the two‐page memo, the following financial exhib
its for 2005 through
2009 should be included:
