What do a South Korean tech giant and an iconic American candy maker have in common? More than you might think. 

In this edition of Business Breakdowns, Jenny Rae Le Roux and Namaan Mian explore the business models behind Samsung and The Hershey Company - two very different brands navigating a rapidly evolving global landscape.

You'll discover:

  • How each company actually makes money
  • The key financial metrics driving performance
  • The competitive dynamics shaping their future

From semiconductors to snack bars, this session will sharpen your business acumen and give you a fresh lens on what makes these companies tick - and what could trip them up.
