Recently, Samsung has been aiming to deliver the best product and services to the whole world with their innovative Galaxy phone devices. Their overall aim is to provide the entire population with phones that end up being customer oriented lifetime companions. However, with their current market expansion and manufacturing increase in the Galaxy's production, Samsung has been exposed for fining and excessively overworking their outsourced employees in China. This is almost an ironic contradiction against their goal of "making the world a better place."
More than 40% of Galaxy smartphones and other goods are produced in China. Samsung has admitted their mistake, but believes outsourcing has manufactured more jobs for their company and also allows them to adjust the output of their smartphones, depending on the current demand or production problems at a specific factory. In an effort to negate the human resource violations they've created, Samsung has promised to implement a new system, including hiring more workers, introducing automation, and improving production processes. They're also making efforts in creating new guidelines to gradually reduce overtime work hours.
With their new phones in tow, Samsung has sold over 50 million units of the Galaxy S3 globally, and means to double that number with the recent arrival of the S4. This year, Samsung has topped Apple in the Fortune Global 500 list and aims to increase the gap of units sold worldwide between the two companies.
