Ratan Tata leading the Tata Group in the 21st century

Case Study 5  Ratan Tata leading the Tata Group in the 21^st century

              I could read whole pages about Ratan Tata thanks to professor extend our due day to submit this assignment. This case was really good because this is deeply concerning financial matters which I like to study.

Question 1

Ratan Tata’s impact can be attributed to one individual such as executive team, employees, and citizens. He made a speech for executives and changes his company. He doesn’t like “over everybody’s dead bodies” and he is philanthropist and environmentalist. He is also keen to globalize company and good decision maker as exemplar of risk taker. He even seems to be deserved as president. His impact influences a lot of aspects of business because his company has various categories.

He is also excellent as leader because he said “Rather than telling them(executives) what to do, he(Ratan Tata) asked them what they liked to do and how they would advance that(goal). It’s a very empowering form of leadership, rather than a directive form of leadership”.

Question2

He needs to reduce cost and implement sale of bulk by using their financial company, Tata Sons. Their obsolete infrastructure is needless and their conglomerate is costly. He sharps his company by their financial techniques. He think “the debt obligations could be met though the cash flows generated by various group companies and proceeds from stake sales by the holding company Tata Sons.”

Question3

He did a lot of mergers and acquisitions but he faced controversies risks. He is good at making relationship with government.  In case of West Bengal, he could not do that. However, basically, he succeeds in M&A business. He said “You can be risk-averse and take no risks, in which case you will have a certain trajectory in terms of your growth.
