Abstract

The Tata Group, involved in diverse sectors ranging from automotives and engineering products to energy and consumer products, is held together by its common pursuit of improving the quality of life of people. The Group accomplishes this by targeting sectors that impact the national economy. Jamsetji started a steel plant because he said India must have steel. There was a bit of pioneering, patriotism and philanthropy, and of course profits all P’s by the way. In the same way, the Tata Group went into hotels, chemicals and automobiles. The Tata Group is all about leadership with trust in chosen areas of national economic significance.
