But there also are other competitors in Korea.

Do you mean there are other Korean companies that do what Samsung does?

I'm not sure what you mean by "most competitive". (How do you measure that (competitiveness)?)

I think "competitive" is a little bit different from "competitiveness", which means "capability".

Samsung is the most competitive company in Korea.
=> Samsung is the company of the highest competitiveness in Korea.

 

[Tarheel]

The difference is that one is an adverb and the other is a noun.

I wouldn't use most competitive.

"Company of the highest competitiveness" does not work.

How about:
Samsung is ranked the No.1 company in Korea. The competitive drive/spirit is intense to maintain its position and prestige as the industry leader, both locally and globally.

Why can't "competitiveness" work?
Samsung is the company of the highest competitiveness in Korea.

 

[Tarheel]

Why can't "competitiveness" work?

Because nobody knows what that means. (No offense intended, of course.) It's impossible to know what that means.

Are they the best-known company in Korea? The most innovative? (Those things are also hard to measure, but at least I can understand them a little better.)

You can say "a competitive company" or "a company is competitive", meaning one that has a strong desire or culture to compete.

" A company of (the highest) competitiveness" is unheard of, though people would roughly know what you want to say. There are better ways of saying it.

Maybe "competence" is an adequate term. I don't know how to erase the first ones.

Samsung is the most competitive(competent) company in Korea.
=> Samsung is the company of the highest competitiveness(competence) in Korea.

Evidently, you greatly admire Samsung for being so innovative.
