How many sectors is Samsung group involved in?

Virtually all sectors.

Top-notch shipbuilder.

Leader in chip dev't & manufacturing.

Leader in display panels.

Builder of the tallest building in the world.

Leader in smart phones/phones.

One of the top insurance companies in their home market.

One of the leading soft drinks producer in their home market.

Also involved in petrochemicals, automobile, medicine etc etc.

It's been done successfully elsewhere.

It can be done here.

Cut Mwangi some slack.

And Apple designs & sells (it doesn't even manufacture) fewer products [phones, computers, tablets and software] and makes 5x the profits of Samsung.



@VVS. Apple made a net profit of 37.04B USD in 2013 against Samsung ELECTRONIS' 30.48B USD. Samsung Electronics is a member of the larger Chaebol, Samsung Group which consists of other subsidiaries involved in shipbuilding, insurance, financials,construction,health etc etc.

Safaricom is opening a top-notch school in Thika. M-Pesa Academy or something like that.


The MPESA Academy is almost being commissioned the construction is almost complete. So lets not tell JM that he can only focus on loans and Thin SIM. Convergence of technologies and businesses is the way to go. Watu waingie Mbus wenye wako nje!

maybe daktari has gone senile.. this is a worrying time. when KCB is venturing to Mozambique, Ethiopia, Eastern DRC.. Equity is going into a rotten sector, where pay issues abound and skills are scarce. God forbid, but ngoja patients wakose afya njema hapo Equity Afia ndio utajua PR ni mnyama mbaya

Google started as a search engine. They moved to full blown software development. Now they have gone into areas most people cannot even imagine. See links below:

Equity is just getting started! I told you this on February last year.
See post#21 in this thread.

In ten, twenty years (God willing) we will be having a totally different discussion. Some of us in yachts and some of us in boats at Uhuru Park. Choices will have consequences.


You need to explain how Equity compares to Google or General Electric. Like you'd explain to a 2 year old

The King just needs to recruit Dr Wambui Waithaka to run this outfit. She is very clear in her mind what needs to be done and how to do it - that is if the focus is affordable healthcare.

i d rather invest in a business that focusses on a few aspects that they do exceptionally well instead of gambling with a jack of all trades.

remember the hype that equitel created.

The lion is no warrior at sea and the whale is no warrior on land.

some one needs to tell the king that he s dancing naked.

focus.

I find satisfaction in owning great business,not trading them

General Electric Subsidiaries

GE Aviation
GE Capital
GE Global Research
GE Healthcare
GE Home & Business Solutions
GE Oil & Gas
GE Power & Water
GE Transportation

Visit this link and click on each subsidiary to see what they do.

Equity has not even STARTED scratching the surface. Not even close! Let me take two subsidiaries and try to compare them with Equity. And I say try because the subsidiaries are too big and diversified it might make more sense to compare Equity with their Divisions!! That is how far Equity has to go. And people are being shocked by medicare and equitel!?? Hio ni pre school my friends. Mambo bado!!!

GE Capital for example has four divisions and operations in more than 10 countries! The divisions are:-
GE Real Estate
GE Capital Aviation Services
GE Energy Financial Services
GE Commercial Lending & Leasing

GE Healthcare has a range of products and services that include
medical imaging and information technologies, electronic medical
records, medical diagnostics, patient monitoring systems,
drug discovery, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing
technologies. GE Healthcare consists of 8 primary business units.

Visit the links and read the rest.

A villager who owns a fruit kiosk might get a shock of his life when he visits a major town and sees a supermarket with food stuff, groceries, cooked food, bakery, pet food, hardware stuff, car products, electronics, MPesa, Phombe, Books (Both text and exercise), butchery, pharmacy etc.

He might wonder why the supermarket owner cannot focus! Back in his village, those would be more than 10 businesses owned by different people and located at different locations!!!

Apart from GE Capital, whose big business relies on leasing their health, aviation and other technological stuff they produce, the rest are technology units that would one way or another depend on each other (R&D). Even the health component is about providing technology, not running clinics and hospitals. Anyway, like everything else, time will tell.

Stolen from Busines daily comments

Oooo...ookey... Seems like I bank at Equity, go to school at/though Equity (Wings to Fly), am on the Equity network (thin sim), soon opening an account at Equity Afia, I commute through Equity (Bebapay), work at Equity. All that is left is: Equity groceries, Equity university, Equity... Equity.. Equity... I'm glad its a Kenyan firm., otherwise we would be seeing MAPAMBANO from competitors...

This is the main issue. Medicare isn't cheap! but public knowing equity to be "cheap" will want. very cheap/free svcs. This one is tricky.

They share the same name because of a shared history. They are very different businesses today.

The closest example would be Safaricom. WU used to 'transport' money by pony then 'wire' just as Safaricom is doing by 'USSD' before moving into banking.

LOL, true! Though many kiosks in shags do many things including credit, money-lending, M-Pesa, sell airtime, flour and even mbogas. And many have attached dining rooms.
