CHAPTER 1: PROJECT INITIATION BRIEF
1) Outline Business Case
Samsung is a South Korean Conglomerate Company that operates in wide range of areas
such as electronics, construction, financial services, ship building & Aeronautics, Medical and
Chemical, Marketing, IT and Machinery Services and hospitality. Looking at the economic
position of the company and its brand value in the market can easily set-up a base for
diversifying in the new area. One of the area is Samsung print management and printer
manufacturing. Further, Cheil is a marketing company that works under the Samsung group
(Samsung Print and Design Solution, 2016). Author has identified that company is not targeting
individual customers and small companies. Thus, this leads to a gap that author is planning to
fulfill by providing business idea to management of Samsung. Through the means of this,
company can enter into design and print sector with introduction design house that consist of
Graphic design, Logo design, Website design as well as 3D printing service that provides
designing and printing services to customer by utilizing all the resources in optimum manner.
Samsung cam provide designing and 3D printing services to different small health care
organizations for printing medical equipment, Industrial printing, Architecture, Personalized
Printing, Automotive industry etc.
Samsung needs to target small business enterprises and individual customers because big
organizations can purchase 3D printers but small business firm and individuals customers are not
capable enough to purchase these equipment because of tight budget. So, Samsung can offer
designing and 3D printing services of small business firm. For this project, author has estimated
the budget of around £10 million which is to be completed in 6 months period. However, for the
appropriate execution and completion of entire project manager is hired which focuses on
identifying several risks associated with strategic, operational, natural and financial that
Samsung is capable to manage by looking at the increasing growth opportunities in designing
and 3D printing services in near future.
2) Project Description
Description of the project can be determined on the basis of three different dimensions
that are as follows:
 Customer quality expectations: This criteria will be measured by participating in
corporate trade fairs and exhibitions within three market segment UK, US and Canada.

By the means of this, professionals will be able to provide appropriate demo to the clients
such as B2B or B2C and evaluate the expectations of customers to generate demand in
the targeted market.
 User acceptance criteria: This criteria will be measured on the basis of feasibility and
reliability of the products offered to the user. However, brand name of Samsung will be
more than enough for the users to accept the reliability of the 3D printing services
(Bradley, 2005). Furthermore, feasibility will be based on the easy access to customers
and showcasing them the effectiveness and reliability of 3D printing services in different
areas such as school, laboratory, science colleges etc.
 Operations and maintenance acceptance: This criteria is to make sure that the activities
throughout the lifecycle of the project generates better results even after completion of
the project. Further, operations acceptance will be based on the sale, marketing and
demand of the services so that corporate aim and objectives of Samsung can be achieved.
3) Project Approach
