Features: This book is about Lee Byung-chul and Samsung. The book is not centered on Lee Byung-chul within Samsung, but rather on Lee Byung-chul's Samsung, a history of Samsung's development woven together by Lee Byung-chul's life experiences and thoughts. The series of company presidents and managers subtly visible in the book, the 170,000 Samsung employees traceless in the book, and even the deeper sense of pride and hope that Koreans hold for Samsung—all remain unexplored. Yet, the collective effort of these individuals, including Lee Byung-chul, has created Samsung's current brilliance. If readers can feel Samsung's sense of cohesion and the shimmering aura of personal charm surrounding Lee Byung-chul, then the book has succeeded. This book was first published in February 2003. Upon its release, it climbed to the top of South Korea's bestseller list and has remained there ever since. In 2002, the Samsung Group achieved unprecedented performance. Sales and net profits both exceeded records. How was this accomplished? What is Samsung's secret? What is Lee Byung-chul's management secret? Who is Lee Byung-chul? What is Lee Byung-chul's top-tier management philosophy, as the core of Samsung's competitiveness, the source of its belief and passion in victory? This book will present the answers to these questions to the readers. This book is about Lee Byung-chul and Samsung.
