Link to article: https://hbr.org/2011/07/the-globe-the-paradox-of-samsungs-rise
Question:
1) Consider what the article talks about. What was Samsung's paradox?
2) The article covers, Strategy, Globalization, Organizational Design and Behaviour, Change Management, Innovation, HR Management, and Marketing, and discusses how Samsung built competitive advantage and advanced hybrid capabilities. Reflect on Samsung's challenge and accomplishments in relation to your understanding of these issues and discuss what you recognize that is relevant from your studies and experience.
3) Also, read the last paragraph. It states that through this hybrid model Samsung has reached a plateau not a pinnacle and suggests they must reach a higher level of diversity and decentralization to transcend being just a Korean company in Brazil, moving beyond current strengths to deal successfully with future challenges and paradoxes. What does this paragraph infer? What analogy can you make with another company or scenario?
