SUCCEED TO INSPIRE LIKE THE TATA (PB)

A trading company begun in
1868 is now a global enterprise that operates in a hundred countries across
six continents, with revenue of over $110.7 billion! In Succeed to Inspire
Like the Tatas, Rajiv Agarwal describes the vision and founding philosophy that
has helped the Tata Group become India’s foremost value-based corporation.
Unlike most corporates, their aim has always been to improve the quality of
life of communities, and most importantly, build India as a nation. Be it
their philanthropic Trusts that support education, health, livelihood
generation, art and culture, or their contribution in industries such as IT,
steel and automobile, the Tatas have proved that the secret to strong
leadership is long-term stakeholder value creation. The book offers a
riveting account of how some of the best-known products and services,
including the Nano, came about. It also shows how some of Tata’s best
acquisitions, including Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley Tea, were a result of
seeing takeovers as partnerships. Like the previous two books in the series,
this book also offers lessons taken from the successes as well as mistakes
made by its leaders, to further inspire the reader into taking effective
management decisions.
