What would you consider Samsung best internal resource:
They are strong in what they currently are doing, this includes both the tangible assets such as the product and distribution chains already engaged and the intangible assets such as their internal intelligence, business processes, marketing experience, etc.
Which resources have they used to develop new core competences that have contributed to their competitive advantage?.
They have invested their financial resources into purchasing stake in other companies that can add in the development of a better stylus and displays. Next up, they will be seeking out the same in terms of gaining a core competency to sell their products in the business to business market.
A company spokesperson commented, "Acquiring a company is also an effective means of developing technological capacity and patent competence." Do you agree? Do you think mergers and acquisitions are a sustainable way of building core competences?
Yes, I think it helps aid in building the core competences, but it also needs to be come from internal growth and tie in with the culture that already exist.
What do you think of Samsung’s product line? Do you feel it maximizes its use of company resources?
I am not that familiar with the product line, but for them to have out paced Apple in the smartphone market globally does give light to the fact they must be doing something right with the resources they have. But with all growing technology, they will need continue to revamp those resource and their product line to stay ahead.
