Analysis of Samsung notebook strategy
Abstract
Under the fast growing background, Notebook industry draws lots attention from IT
companies. It is expected that by 2010, the sales of notebook will overrun the sales of
desktop. After the SWOT and SPACE analysis, we recommend Samsung to improve
from two different perspectives, first, set up a clear and detailed marketing goal and
plan, and ensure the enforcing of such strategies. Secondly, manage the distribution
channels effectively and efficiently. There are two trends Samsung need to be aware
1) As customers requires thinner and thinner notebook, the netbook, which is
simplified version of notebook will be anther profit point. 2) Distribution channels
will play more and more important role in this industry. Finding a most suitable
distribution channel management solution is among the priorities for Samsung.
