thebalanced.newsSamsung Electronics Names New Head of TV Division Amid Rising Competition
Samsung Electronics has appointed Lee Won-jin as the new head of its Visual Display Business, replacing Yong Seok-woo, amid rising competition from Chinese manufacturers. The leadership change, the first in over two years, aims to bring fresh ideas to Samsung's TV division, which has seen declining profits due to stagnant demand and higher raw-material costs. Samsung is also reportedly considering exiting the Chinese TV and home appliance market as rivals like TCL and Sony strengthen their positions.
