SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS

Korean electronics giant Samsung has a relatively unorthodox managerial structure , with a total of three Chief Executive Officers . Hyun Suk Kim , head of the company ’ s consumer electronics business , rose to the joint position in 2018 , alongside Dong Jin Koh and Ki Nam Kim . At the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show ( CES ) in Las Vegas , Kim noted that consumers increasingly value experiences over products : “ We ’ re not looking to spend our money on things . We are looking to buy convenience , peace of mind and enjoyment .” FEBRUARY 2020
