Value Innovation, first component of Blue Ocean Strategy is Samsung’s primary tool for product development. Value Innovation Program centre was started in 1998 and by 2004 the centre was playing a very key role in rapid growth of Samsung to become the world’s top consumer electronics company. Many cross-functional Blue Ocean project teams were at work, and had ingrained the approach in the corporate culture with an annual conference presided over by their entire top management. One of the key successes of VIP centre was, within five years of entering the mobile phone market, in 2003 Samsung has become the No2 player in the mobile phones market.
Samsung BOS strategy has also helped it to maintain top position in TV market (since 2006-2010), Global; LCD panel market since 2002. BOS is still at the core of the Samsung product strategy and company has been able to make the necessary adaptations according to the business environment and changing consumer preferences. In 2006 Samsung launched Market Driven Change (MDC) where its focus was on the consumer insights and how to develop better and new products using consumer insights. One of the successful results of the MDC was Flat panel LCD TV Bordeaux. This TV has played a crucial role in Samsung overtaking Sony in the LCD market.
