"The Tata group is one of the biggest diversified business groups located in India. The faction generated about US$100 billion in sales in 201112 from 90 companies operating in diverse businesses in seven broad sector groups. The case scenario depicts in detail the diverse mechanisms by which the Tata group tries to make a corporate or parenting advantage.
The case also discusses the outlook of a number of the group firms. Firms frequently found the group affiliation and services to be of value as it supplied them with better contract enforcement, less friction and lower transactional costs within the group, superior accessibility to the political power structure and considerable financial backing. With questions on the sustainability of the prevalent structure, practices, group doctrine and culture, the case ends with the Tata group preparing to welcome its new chairman in December 2012. "
