digital products, but products that inspire digital
integration across our entire company. The second
part of being an “E -Company” is to use E-Processes
connecting R&D, production, and marketing to
customers and partners—a disciplined approach that
brings value to every part of our supply chain,
leveraging product data and customer relationships
through Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). This
is the secret to our outstanding growth, how we
expanded and became a leaner, more efficient
operation at the same time.
In 2003, we look forward to laying even firmer
foundations for future competitiveness, increasing
our R&D budget to grow our technology base and
develop innovative products while broadening our
talent across the globe, as we expand the Samsung
DigitAll brand. With continued uncertainty, now a
permanent feature of our lives, our Digital -E
Company is more important than ever. We invite
you to look back at this record year of success and
join us in a journey of connection, convergence, and
communication.
