<パラグラフ全文> The sweet spot is somewhere between 8 and 12 metrics, says Andrew. That's about the number that Samsung Electronics Co. uses, says Chu Woosik, a senior vice-president at the South Korean company. Chu says the most important metrics are price premiums and how quickly they can bring to market phones that delight customers. Samsung also watches the allocation of investments across projects and its new-product success ratio. That, Chu says, has nearly doubled in the last five years. "You want to see it from every angle," he says. "A lot of companies fall into the trap that they thought things were really improving, but in the end, it didn't work out that way. We don't want to make that mistake."
気になっていたのは、この記事ではイノベーションの指標について書かれている中で、サムスンのThe most important metrics としてphonesを挙げている点でした。教えていただいた解釈に基づいて、もう一度Googleで調べたところ、サムスンは今年世界初のHDD搭載携帯を発表した、韓国は世界で最も進んでいる携帯電話市場の1つだということがわかり納得できました。ありがとうございました。
