In fact, even though it looks perfect shareholders' taste, Samsung seems to have not much possibility to reduce this higher procurement cost from Korean partners unless they change its providing line card to China or Taiwan like as Apple. However, they never take an affair and it is not just simple matter of business view for Samsung in Korea. Korean people and even government put implied pressure to Samsung as a leading company should grow Korean industry eco-system and make win-win relationship between conglomerates and small-medium companies.
