Samsung has more employees than Google, Apple and Microsoft combined!

We know that a few companies dominate the world of new technologies. For information on information, product to product, a handful of names keeps coming, this is Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft and Sony.

By the diversity of their products or the strength of their brand identity, these giants have carved the lion's share. Who uses the most human force to achieve its objectives?


With 275,000 employees, Samsung Electronics is 5 times Google. This also explains the flow of Samsung in terms of number of models. You thought out much of the Korean smartphone? You do not really had idea. In fact, the company has successfully launched 46 smartphones and tablets just 27 for the year 2014.


Also, consider that Samsung Electronics has no real strength of retail sales. Or Apple Stores are 42,800 Apple employees, that is to say, more than half of their workforce. Apple therefore, in its development, only has "only" 37,500 employees.

Incidentally, note that Sony, in this classification, referring to Sony Electronics, as Samsung refers to Samsung Electronics. If we were to count the employees whole groups, the numbers would be much higher, but then not be comparable to other players in the rankings.

Indeed Samsung Group contains other subsidiaries such as Samsung Life, which is an insurer, and the construction of a theme park and even larger skyscrapers in the world. Similarly, Sony Corporation has huge structures such as Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment and Sony Financial Services.

Must Read:

Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation are virtually Korean and Japanese counterparts, which have both a bewildering diversity of product, affecting virtually all consumer electronics, but also to the components. Yet Samsung has more than double that of employees Sony, who nevertheless develops a game console, which is not the case of Korean.

Samsung also has a lot of employees at software developers, with 40,506 people in 2013 The thing may also be explained by the diversity of its products, mostly nécessitants firmware and software, as well as the diversity of Android's comparable to Google applications. In addition, Samsung is still on the development of Tizen it has revived the transfer of 500 employees.



Finally, a vast majority of employees of Samsung, including nearly 160 000 work in production, and it is probably this fact that makes the most sense when you see the amount of units produced continuously by the Korean .

Despite some financial issues addressed in recent months, we realize that only concerns the mobile division of Samsung Electronics, affect only one part of this subsidiary, which is itself only a fraction an even larger group.

What is interesting however, is to see the possible impact of Google on the world, how it is deployed in a number of daily activities, with a "strike force" much lower. But the positions are different.

So if Schmidt explained that Google's strategy was to work on the volume rather than high margins during the interview in which he said that the iPhone was a 6 year behind Samsung, it gives however full meaning of the word volume.
