Samsung Electronics cultural issues causing disasters in foundry, LSI, DRAM
It has been clear to us for years that Samsung has baaad internal communication issues. When you&#x27;re at the forefront of technology, you&#x27;re bound to trip up as bets and explorations don&#x27;t pan out. Humans being humans, mistakes <i>will</i> happen, but they must be recognized to be corrected and prevented in the future.<p>It&#x27;s clear that Samsung culture prevents people from admitting mistakes, which of course only leads to more of them as stress builds up.<p>I remember the Samsung Galaxy Note battery problems, and how apparently it was clear to people outside Samsung what the problem was (too tight a clearance a the corners in the case for the batteries, causing bending of the internal electrodes, leading to short-circuits) before Samsung themselves recognized it.<p>You can&#x27;t always be at the top, a sign of good culture is what happens when you slip.<p>Samsung keeps slipping.
