USihlalo we-Samsung Group u-Lee Kun-hee ushone namuhla eneminyaka engu-78 ubudala, inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea yamemezela, kodwa akazange ayidalule imbangela yokufa. Indoda eyenza umkhiqizi wamathelevishini ashibhile enye yezinkampani ezibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni, kodwa futhi "yaphikisana" nomthetho, iphelile unomphela, ngubani ozongena esikhundleni sakhe?
U-Lee Kun-hee wathatha i-Samsung ngemva kokushona kukayise (owasungula inkampani) u-Lee Byung-chul ngo-1987. Ngaleso sikhathi, abantu babecabanga kuphela nge-Samsung njengomkhiqizi wamathelevishini ashibhile nama-microwave angathembekile athengiswa ezitolo ezinesaphulelo. Nokho, u-Lee wakwazi ukushintsha lokho maduzane, futhi kakade ekuqaleni kwawo-90, inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea yadlula izimbangi zayo zaseJapane naseMelika futhi yaba umdlali omkhulu emkhakheni wememori chips. Kamuva, i-conglomerate iphinde yakwazi ukuba yimakethe yokuqala yezibonisi kanye nomakhalekhukhwini abasezingeni eliphakathi neliphezulu. Namuhla, iqembu le-Samsung lithatha ingxenye eyodwa kwezinhlanu ze-GDP yaseNingizimu Korea futhi likhokhela inkampani ehamba phambili ehileleke kwezesayensi nocwaningo.
Ungaba nentshisekelo ku
I-Samsung Group yayiholwa ngu-Lee Kun-hee ngo-1987-2008 nango-2010-2020. Ngo-1996, wabekwa icala futhi watholakala enecala lokugwazela owayengumongameli waseNingizimu Korea ngaleso sikhathi, uRoh Tae-woo, kodwa waxolelwa. Elinye icala lavela ngo-2008, kulokhu lokweqa intela kanye nokukhwabanisela, okwathi u-Lee Kun-hee wagcina elivumile icala wabe esesula esikhundleni sokuba yinhloko yenhlangano, kodwa ngonyaka olandelayo wabuye waxolelwa ukuze akwazi ukuhlala e-International Olympic Committee. futhi uyinakekele, ukuze Imidlalo yama-Olympic yango-2018 ibanjelwe ePyongyang. U-Lee Kun-hee wayeyisakhamuzi esicebe kakhulu eNingizimu Korea kusukela ngo-2007, ingcebo yakhe ilinganiselwa kuma-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-21 (cishe. 481 bhiliyoni imiqhele yaseCzech). Ngo-2014, uFrobes wametha njengomuntu wama-35 onamandla kunabo bonke emhlabeni futhi waba ngumuntu onamandla kunabo bonke eKorea, kodwa ngawo lowo nyaka wahlaselwa isifo senhliziyo, umphumela okuthiwa usadonsa kanzima kuze kube namuhla. Lesi sigameko siphinde samphoqa ukuthi ahoxe emehlweni omphakathi, kanti iqembu le-Samsung laqhutshwa ngempumelelo yisekela likasihlalo kanye nendodana ka-Lee - u-Lee Jae-yong. Ngokombono, kwakufanele athathe isikhundla sikayise njengenhloko ye-conglomerate, kodwa naye wayenezinkinga ngomthetho. Ngeshwa, wabamba iqhaza ezenzweni zenkohlakalo futhi wachitha cishe unyaka ejele.
Ubani ozohola i-Samsung manje? Ingabe kuzoba nezinguquko ezinkulu ekuphatheni? Ngabe isiqhwaga sezobuchwepheshe sizoya kuphi ngokulandelayo? Isikhathi kuphela esizosho. Kodwa-ke, into eyodwa icacile, isikhundla esizuzisayo "somqondisi" we-Samsung ngeke siphuthelwe yinoma ubani futhi kuyoba "impi" ngakho.
