SAMSUNG GROUPThe Samsung Group is a South Korean conglomerate (chaebol) composed of numerous businesses, including Samsung Electronics, one of the world's largest electronics companies. Samsung Group is South Korea's largest exporter and is helmed by Chairman Lee Kun-hee, the third son of the founder Lee Byung-chul. The name "Samsung" means "three stars" or "tristar" in Kore Samsung means three stars in Korean. Lee Byung-Chull founded Samsung in 1938. It started as a small trading company with forty employees, located in Seoul. The company did fairly well until the Communist invasion in 1950 which caused great damage to his inventories. He was force to leave and start over in Suwon in 1951. In just a year, the companys assets had grown twenty-fold. In 1953, Lee created a sugar refinerythe South Koreas first manufacturing facility after the Korean War. The company prospered under Lees philosophy of making Samsung the leader in each industry he entered (Samsung Electronics). The company started moving into service businesses such as insurance, securities, and department store. In the early 1970s, Lee borrowed money from foreign companies to begin the mass communication industry by launching a radio and television station (Samsung Electronics). Samsung Group later formed several electronics-related divisions, such as Samsung Electron Devices Co., Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Samsung Corning Co., and Samsung Semiconductor & Telecommunications Co., and grouped them together under Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. in 1980s. Its first product was a black-and-white television set (Samsung Electronics). In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Samsung Electronics invested heavily in research and development, constructing the company as a leader in the global electronics industry. By the 1980s Samsung was manufacturing, shipping, and selling a wide range of appliances and electronic products throughout the world (Samsung Electronics). In 1982, it built a television assembly plant in Portugal; in 1984, it built a $25 million plant in New York; and in 1987, it built another $25 million facility in England (Samsung Electronics). In 1993 Lee Kun-Hee, Lee Byung-Chulls successor, sold off ten of Samsung Group's subsidiaries, downsized the company, and merged other operations to concentrate on three industries: electronics, engineering, and chemicals (Samsung Electronics)

SAMSUNG GROUPSamsung became the largest producer of memory chips in the world in 1992. In 1995, it built its first liquid-crystal display screen, eventually equalizing its technology to Sonys. Samsung has also tried hard to improve its international image. It has spent more than $6 billion since 1998 on marketing, sponsoring the last five Olympics and erecting a large video sign in Times Square in 2002 (Lee kun-hee). Samsung is very involved in the Asian Games, contributing Samsung Nations Cup Riding Competition, Samsung Running Festival, Samsung World Championship, and still many more around the globe (Samsung Electronics)

Summer Training Project is an excellent opportunity for aspiring managers like us to get experience of corporate world .Summer Training is mainly for 6-8 weeks .So I decided to make most of it .I was fortunate that I got a chance to work with SAMSUNG INDIA ELECTRONICS Pvt.

DATA ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTIONData analysis is needed to give the raw data any meaning. The first step in analyzing the data is cleaning the data. This is the process of checking the raw data to verify that the data has been correctly entered into the files from the data collection forms. After that the data can be tabulated, which refers to the actual counting of the number of observations that fall in to each possible response category. After that the Graphical Presentation can also be done to understand the Tabulated Data.

SWOT ANALYSIS

COUNCLUSION & PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

In this project report, I have tried to indicate and explain some aspects of Marketing for a world known brand SAMSUNG. Though SAMSUNG has touched sky due to its quality products but nowhere in the world any Organization which can claim as champion in present era of competition, minute to minute changing technology and simultaneous changes in consumer behavior. It is a fact that business success depends upon identifying and serving the needs of present and future customer and crucial analytical approach which provides management needed strategic and factual information for decision making has become essential now. Being a marketing management student I was keenly interested to make analysis of market to provide some effective solutions to my company SAMSUNG. I during survey started for answers to all those questions which are mainly related to consumer behavior, dealers behavior towards the products of SAMSUNG. In process of survey field visits to different places of Kangra districts planes with thick population density and snow covered hilly areas of Chamba with thin and scattered population, interaction with Consumer of SAMSUNG brand and other with loyalty towards main competitors like LG, VIDEOCON, PHILIPS etc. helped me a lot to build a picture of complexity and diversity of consumer behavior with change of geographical and demographical conditions. Surveys provide me an opportunity to meet people and dealers face to face and as a mean of gaining a quick and accurate assessment of implications and impact of SAMSUNG brand. This also helped me to know the difficulties of dealers/distributers and enable them to express and analyze their problems and priorities. Survey was an opportunity provided by my project manager to trigger, consider, search ch Survey and experience market to set objectives to increase awareness, encourage trial, reinforcereport behavior and provide information about highly placed brand SAMSUNG, if my help SAMSU NG in
