2. HISTORY
Tata Motors was founded in 1945, as a locomotive manufacturer. Tata Group
entered the commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with
Daimler-Benz of Germany. After years of dominating the commercial vehicle
market in India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by
launching the Tata Sierra, a sport utility vehicle based on the Tata Mobile
platform. Tata subsequently launched the Tata Estate (1992; a station wagon
design based on the earlier Tata Mobile), the Tata Sumo (1994, a 5-door SUV)

Tata Indica (first


generation)

Tata launched the Indica in


1998, a fully indigenous
Indian passenger car tailor-
made to suit Indian
consumer needs though
styled by I.D.E.A, Italy. Although initially criticised by auto analysts,
its excellent fuel economy, powerful engine, and an aggressive
marketing strategy made it one of the best-selling cars in the history
of the Indian automobile industries. A newer version of the car,
named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version
and quickly became a mass favourite. Tata Motors also successfully
exported large numbers of the car to South Africa. The success of the
Indica played a key role in the growth of Tata Motors.

and formerly Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company) is a
commercial vehicle manufacturer headquartered in GUNSAN, J
JEOLLABUCK-do South Korea, and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Tata Motors. It is the second-largest heavy commercial vehicle
manufacturer in South Korea and was acquired by Tata Motors in
2004. The principal reasons behind the acquisition were to reduce
Tata's dependence on the Indian commercial vehicle market (which
was responsible for around 94% of its sales in the MHCV segment
and around 84% in the light commercial vehicle segment) and expand
its product portfolio by leveraging on Daewoo's strengths in the
heavy-tonnage sector.

Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to develop trucks
such as Novus and World Truck and buses including Glo Bus and
Star Bus. In 2012, Tata began developing a new line to manufacture

Range Rover Sport, and Jaguar XF, the fourth-generation Land Rover
Discovery, Range Rover Velar and the Range Rover (L405).

Land Rover Discovery Sport

JD Power, of the US, rates Land Rover and Jaguar as the two worse
brands for initial quality. [50] The Jaguar F-Pace made Consumer
Reports February 2019 list of the 10 Least Reliable Cars. The editors
cited "electronics, drive system, power equipment, noises and leaks"
as problematic aspects.

The Jaguar Land Rover subsidiary was struggling by 2019 and Tata
Motors wrote down its investment in JLR by $3.9 billion. Much of the
financial problem was due to a 50% drop in sales in China during
2019, although the situation was improving. Still, Tata was open to
considering a partnership with another company according to a
statement in mid-October, as long as the partnership agreement would
allow Tata to maintain control of the business. The company ruled out
the possibility of a sale of JLR to another entity.

Tata Nano

Tata Nano is often cited as the world's most affordable car

The Nano was launched in 2009 as a city car intended to appeal as an


affordable alternative to the section of the Indian populace that is
primarily the owner of
motorcycles and has not
bought their first car.
Initially priced at ₹100,000
(US$1,500), the vehicle
attracted a lot of attention
for its relatively low price.
However, the Nano was
very poorly rated for safety
and in 2018, Cyrus Mistry,
chairman of the Tata

Group, called the Tata Nano a failed project, with production ending
in May 2018.

Tata Ace

Tata Ace, India's first


indigenously developed sub-
one-ton minitruck, was
launched in May 2005. The
minitruck was a huge success in
India with auto analysts
claiming that Ace had changed
the dynamics of the light
commercial vehicle (LCV)
market in the country by
creating a new market segment
termed the small commercial vehicle segment. Ace rapidly emerged
as the first choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and
rural transport.

By October 2005, LCV sales of Tata Motors had grown by 36.6% to


28,537 units due to the rising demand for Ace. The Ace was built with
a load body produced by Autoline Industries.

By 2005, Autoline was producing 300 load bodies per day for Tata
Motors. Ace is still a top seller for TML with 500,000 units sold by
June 2010.In 2011, Tata Motors invested Rs 1000 crore in Dharwad
Plant, Karnataka, with the capacity of 90,000 units annually and
launched two models of 0.5-T capacity as Tata Ace Zip, Magic Iris.
Ace has also been exported to several Asian, European, South
American, and African countries and all-electric models are sold
through Polaris Industries' Global Electric Motorcars division. In Sri
Lanka, it is sold through Diesel and Motor Engineering (DIMO) PLC
under the name of DIMO Batta.

3.4 RISK
Deterioration in economic conditions: the impact of the global financial crisis
and European sovereign debt crisis continues to be a cause of concern, despite
concerted efforts to contain the adverse effect of these events on global
recovery.
In addition to India, the company has automotive operations in the UK, South
Africa, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and Indonesia being convinced. The
Indian auto move industry is affected substantially by the general economic
conditions in India and around the world. The demand for automobiles in the
Indian market is influenced by factors including the growth rate of the Indian
economy, easy availability of credit, and increase in disposable income among
Indian consumers, interest rates, flight rates, fuse prices. During the global
financial crisis in FY 2008 to 2009, RBI had eased its monetary policy stance to
stimulate economic activity. Subsequently, as the Indian economy start
recovering from the downturn, inflation pressures increased substantially,
followed by several interests rates hike by RBI. With inflammation moderating
in FY 2011 to 2012, RBI reduce interest rates rapper it and reverse repo rate by
50 basis points in April 2012, however, muted industrial growth along with
higher inflation and higher interest rates still continue to pose downside risks to
overall growth. The auto movie industry is generally in cyclical and economic
slowdowns in the past, have affected the manufacturing sector including the
autumn movie and related industries. Detoriation in key economic factors such
as growth rate interest rates and inflation as well as reduce availability of

adversely affect automobile sales in India and results of operations.

Jaguar Land Rover operations have significant presence in the UK, North
America, continental Europe and China, as well as sales operation in many
major countries across the globe. The global economic downturn significantly
impacted the global automobile markets, particularly in the United States and
Europe, including the UK, where Jaguar Land Rover operations have significant
presence. The company strategy with respect to Jaguar Land Rover operation,
which include new project launches and expansion into growing markets such
as China, Russia and Brazil, may not be sufficient to medicate the decrease in
demand for the product established markets and this could have a significant
adverse impact on the financial performance. In response to the recent economic
slowdown, the company further intensified efforts to review and realign our
kusko cost structure such as reducing manpower cost and other fixed costs.
Jaguar Land Rover businesses exploring opportunities to reduce base through
increased sourcing of material from low cost countries, reduction in number of
suppliers, reduction in numbers of platforms, reduction in engineering changes

Indian multinational automotive manufacturing company and a member of
Tata group. Products offered by the company varies from cars, trucks,
vans, coaches, military vehicles, sports cars, buses and construction

9.1 STRATEGIC ANALYSIS


In the past few years, Tata Motors succeeded by exploiting international
opportunities. Its percentage of revenue from international operations has
increased from 9% in 2016 to 79.80% in 2018. Hence its strategy is worthy
of study. ‘Flexible Strategy Framework’ is used to analyse the strategy of
Tata Motors which evolved to gain its international presence in the
automotive manufacturing industry. This framework is an attempt to
manage change, along with the consideration of continuity forces in the
organization. The ability of the firm to integrate continuity and change

forces effectively has made the firm competitive in the international


market. The organization is continually doing innovations to keep itself
ahead of the competition. This study is a novel attempt to explore linkages
between internationalization and competitiveness using the framework of
flowing stream strategy.

9.2 SWOT Analysis


Before getting into the SWOT analysis of the TATA Motors, let us
consider one scenario.
Imagine yourself as a manager of a multi-national company, and you are in
a position to take a decision to venture into new avenue. What will you
do? How will be your thought process?
If I was in that situation, I would have first checked if my company is well
equipped to venture into the new avenue by evaluating my company’s
strengths and weaknesses. Then, look for the forces that I have to fight
against or the competition I have to face. Finally, I would have looked for
new opportunities.
You might have noticed a pattern in the above thought process. Firstly, I
have looked for internal factors that will affect my decision and then, I
tried to access the external environment. The framework that explains
above thought process in a structured way is called “SWOT Analysis”.
Now, let us discuss what is SWOT in a structured way. Acronym of SWOT
is Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It is process of

lOMoARcPSD|27688444

accessing four major aspects of the company before taking any strategic
decision.

Strengths
Strengths are nothing but the areas where you are good at. The qualities or
the offerings that makes you stand out in the competition. For example:
Before launching Jio, Reliance has good market capital and telecom
infrastructure. That helped them to capture more market in less time by
offering services at lower price.

Weakness
Weakness are the areas where there is scope of improvement. The qualities
or the offerings that may fire against you in the competitive environment.
We can say that Reliance has no experience in Telecom Industry before
launching JIO, inexperience can be considered as their weakness. We can
find weaknesses if we evaluate our self critically.

Opportunities
Opportunities are the external avenues that can help you or that can be
explored to gain advantage or bring positive result.
We can make a huge difference if we will be able to utilize these kind of
opportunities. Again for Reliance, the high cost of internet services was
the opportunity. They took opportunity with both hands and penetrated
into market by reducing the prices to minimum.

Threats
Threats include the factors that can affect your business negatively. It is
important to identify the threats as early as possible to avoid the major
losses. We can focus on our competitors when we are accessing the threats
in the markets.
Not only competitors but any external political, social and technological
factors also constitutes threats. The major threat for reliance can be in

retaining their customers, who joined Jio seeing less price if they increase
prices in future.
I hope you have understood about the frame work of SWOT, now lets us
get into SWOT analysis of TATA motors. Before that let us know about
TATA Motors a bit.
