With his strong can-do spirit, the late Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee energized the once-small trading company into one of the world’s largest electronics makers. The deceased patriarch called on executives to “change everything except your wife and children” to better compete with competitors.

On Wednesday, Samsung Electronics revisited the late former chairman’s leadership and business strategies at a forum attended by prominent scholars at its Seocho office building in southern Seoul.
