This reminds me of around 2000, when I had a Daewoo television, and then my mind was blown one day when I saw a Daewoo car. Who makes televisions and cars? Daewoo apparently.

Ever hear of Daewoo Heavy Industries? They make excavators, railcars and ships

And Hyundai has their hands in much bigger pots than we realize.

Asianometry has an interesting video on the rise and fall of Daewoo that is definitely an interesting example on how not to run a business.
