(Samsung Special)

Everyone has their own way. No one can replace it, no one can walk the way twice. Life has its ups and downs. People do not know completely why they should walk the way, till when they should walk. Life is mysterious and incomprehensible. Sometimes, we undergo an ordeal and we become conscious of other's way.

Merchants are people who especially experience rise and fall. Businessmen of South Korea have worked hard over 60 years with their lives having been dynamic. Entrepreneurs are originally lonely, feeling that they want to stop their business confronting hardships. Businessmen endlessly mediate, sometimes being tormented by anguish. Konosuke Matsushita was the founder of Mathushita Group and was called 'God of Business'. He said "Business is thinking"

It is worth focusing on the outstanding businessmen's thought and idea to shed light on 'Entrepreneurship' that are fading away nowadays. Hoam Lee Byung-chul, Asan Jeong Ju-young, Yoenam Gu In-hoe, SK Choi Jong-hyun are the examples of successful businessmen. Korea was poor in natural resources, capital, and human resources. This made businessmen full of agony and contemplation which would be guidelines for young men who dream of founding companies.

2010 is the centennial anniversary of Hoam Lee byung-chul who was the founder of Samsung. Samsung is a global group that has 300 trillion won asset and 200 trillion turnover. Hoam established 'Samsung store' in 1938. Hoam's way of life was a microcosm of Korean Economy that achieved a high level of condense growth.

His belief in Science was endless. He said, "Science technology is the combination of knowledge and power. Technology innovation, development of up-to-date technology, and bold challenge are important. These will promise prosperity of nation and its people's .

Hoam's idea continued to Lee Gun-hee's 'Creative Business, Critical Business, and Global Business'. This made Samsung world's top business group.

Hoam's philosophy of business are divided into 'Confucian Analects business' and 'First-rate business'. Hoam was born in Ui-ryeong of Kyongnam province in 1910. Hoam started his study in seodang when he was 5 years old. Hoam combined eastern traditional philosophy with western rationalism and science technology. This gained a toehold for a global Samsung.

Hoam's 'Confucian Analects business' is related with Shibusawa Eiichi called 'Father of Japan's Finance' He was the father of Japan's Capitalism, establishing 500 corporations.
He emphasized social responsibility of businesses. He insisted "Moral and Economy are the one. We should contribute to the nation and the society by spending money properly."

It was 1960 when Hoam became conscious of first class management. President Lee saw New year TV program in Japan that predicted world's politics, economy, military, and culture. Through this program, he got aware of fertilizer plants technology, methods for acquiring a loan. Hoam diligently conducted 'Tokyo Plan' every year until 1987.

Hoam launched the dream of establishing 'World's leading group' through global window named 'Tokyo'. He kept a good friendship with Japan's businessmen through listening and communication. With Global relationship, Hoam began to comprehend and follow Japanese companies.

Hoam's philosophy of business rushes Korea Economy to open the new way. That is, recovering enthusiasm, soul of entrepreneurship and perfectly changing into creative economy. Samsung's perfectionism made the group world's first-class leading group, however could not make the group 'Creative Invention Group'. Creative and humane inventions derive from mildness of nature itself.

The founder of Taoism, Lao-tzu said that 'Everything in the universe relentlessly generates and develops. It is the natural law that all creations become new and develop.'
Thinking that everything change is almost true as companies need constant innovation. Korean Economy and Samsung at the moment should proceed firmly being prepared for the 21th century's changing science and culture. Now, we should sublimate ideas of 'God of Business' into creative spirits of Korean Economy, making Korea worldwide economy leader.
