The Samsung conglomerate, known globally for its electronics and smartphones, is South Korea’s biggest and touches almost every aspect of South Korean life. Samsung encompasses more than 50 affiliates involved in life insurance, shipping, cars, construction, hospitals, hotels — even seeing-eye dogs.
“You can live your entire life here, from cradle to the grave, on Samsung products. So you can die, go to the Samsung morgue when you’re dead, get married at the Samsung wedding hall in the company,” says author Geoffrey Cain, who has written a forthcoming book on the company.
