The Samsung Group is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Samsung


Town, Seoul, South Korea. It is South Korea's largest Chaelbol and the world's largest
conglomerate by revenue with annual revenue of US $173.4 billion in 2008. The meaning of the
Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars".

The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international affiliated businesses, most of them
united under the Samsung brand including Samsung Electronics, the world's largest electronics
company by sales. Samsung Heavy Industries, the world's second largest shipbuilder,
Samsung Engineering was ranked 35th, Samsung C&T, 72nd in a 2009 ranking of 225 global
construction firms compiled by the Engineering News-Record, a U.S. construction journal, and

Industries.

domestic industries, Samsung Group is the sole monopoly dominating a single market, its
revenue as large as some countries' total GDP. In 2006, Samsung Group would have been the
35th largest economy in the world if ranked, larger than that of Argentina. The company has a
powerful influence on the country's economic development, politics, media and culture, being a
major driving force behind the Miracle on the Han River; many businesses today use its
