[디깅노트] '적자 사업부' 낙인에...삼성 IDM 신화 흔들리나

Samsung's morale crisis in its Foundry division undermines the integrated device manufacturer (IDM) model that created its semiconductor leadership, threatening irreplaceable technical expertise retention at a critical moment when HBM competitiveness is being recovered. Fairness in compensation and organizational recognition are not merely HR issues—they are strategic imperatives for maintaining semiconductor technological advantages in a highly competitive market. Without restoring employee trust and acknowledging supporting divisions' contributions to flagship products, Samsung risks losing decades of accumulated engineering knowledge that cannot be quickly or cheaply rebuilt.
