Myth – big change
(a story of Samsung)
When I was in primary school in 1993, a
teacher read an article for us. The article was about Samsung. Nowadays Samsung
is like a huge dinosaur, but at that time, Korea's status was as a developing
country. As I remember, there were not extremes between poor and rich like a herbivore
dinosaurs park.
In that article, one of the shocking lines
was a slogan “Change everything without your wife and children!”, written by the
CEO of Samsung. Actually, in 1992 that company already had the hugest profits
ever seen in Korea. Nevertheless, I think he felt something hungry and a crisis
for the future. It has been over 20 years.
During 20 years, that company tried
to adapt to the fast-paced world. The result is what we can see now.
There are so many creation myths in industries.
I just choose one of them for this topic. I respect the CEO’s decision and it
deserves to be benchmarked as an education - even though I don't use their
products any more.
