[Muzings] Culture of Accountability




@ Samsung i see what prolly no other handset maker might have(I presume).
Self-Started individuals.
Well maybe not all the people but some people(abt 40%) committed to get better bigger and eclectic products. When I mean products its just not about products such as iPhone or a Discman. Engineers try to refine the existing products to a T !.
It can be a CD player. Innovation and Better Engineering go hand in hand.

Thats why ;
Not just any other Semi conductor company can be Samsung;

Its people who execute without excuses who drive the wheels@SamsungIndia.

Though it happens to be a simple tried and tested Business Model.
The Marketing and Sales make sure the Engineers have enough on their hands.
The Engineers on their part make sure the end user has no blues and likens the product.


Essentially while the culture in the industry seems to be 10% appraisals year on year.
@Samsung its all about "Value For Money" approach. or "Money for Value" ;-)


Engineer executes without excuses as he has to account for the Salaries given out to him.
These days when the average indian salary is 1$ a day. THe IT Engineer is at a overly Skewed luxury that way.Unless VFM approach is adopted its hard to sustain his salarys year on year.
Luckily for Samsung India, Engineers have in grained this as part of their culture.


Which in other companys maybe by the way of Key Performance Indicators tighly coupled to the appraisal process.

So while the MFV approach is there but its mainly not built into the HR process and is at a sublime process and something between the Employer Samsung and its employees.
