Government Intervention: Government intervenes because of having a share in


Maruti Suzuki as it’s owned by the government and a public company. Strategic
decisions are dependent upon government approvals.
Penetration Inability: Maruti Suzuki’s one of biggest inabilities is not being able to
penetrate the world market. The company is only popular in India and some of the Asian
regions other than this Maruti Suzuki’s presence in Europe and the North American
market is not that fascinating.
Weak Managerial & labour Relationship: The relationship between management and
labour unions is not good. Employee strikes, worker’s wages strikes have declined the
reputation of Maruti Suzuki in terms of being the best working place.
Diversification in the Workforce: The workforce at Maruti Suzuki Motors is analyzed
with mostly local workers, and low amounts of workers from other ethnical
backgrounds. Lack of diversification makes it difficult for employees from different
ethnical backgrounds to adapt at the workplace, leading to loss of talent.
Opportunities for Maruti Suzuki:
Potential areas of attention for a corporation to enhance results, expand sales, and,
ultimately, profit is known as opportunities. Maruti Suzuki’s opportunities are:

Maruti Suzuki is that it introduced its LPG version of Wagon R which is a smart move
taken by the company.

innovations to the market by improving relations. Just like recently, Maruti Suzuki is
working with Toyota on a project to launch small electric SUVs in the market.
Technological Developments: Technology succeeds with numerous advantages
among many departments. Operations can be automated to diminish costs. Technology
enables better data to be obtained from customers and improves trading
accomplishments.
Immense Production Potential: Maruti Suzuki has immense potential in foreign
markets and it is a rapidly growing market for automobiles. It can tap into European
and other untouched markets where growth potential is even more.

Transport Industry: The transportation industry has been thriving in recent years and
has significant growth potential in the future. This has reduced transportation costs,
which benefits Maruti Suzuki by loweringits overall costs.

Threats to Maruti Suzuki:


Environmental variables that can damage a company’s growth are known as threats.
Maruti Suzuki’s threats include the following:
Fall in Market Share: Maruti Suzuki has experienced a great fall in its market share
because of the higher increment in market share of other brands, such as Figo, Ford,
and Volkswagen. Also, Maruti Suzuki registered a sales drop in January 2022.
Intense Competition: China intends to join the Indian car market which can create
immense competition. Also, Maruti Suzuki has other competitors from global
automotive brands.
Controversies: Maruti Suzuki is facing certain controversies such as its cars failing
accident tests and safety benchmarks which is one of the most important aspects
customers look into before purchasing any car.
Costs and Expenses: Higher fuel costs including demonetization expenses and
economic recession has caused decreasing purchases by customers

Tata Group, privately owned conglomerate of nearly 100


companies encompassing several primary business sectors: chemicals, consumer
products, energy, engineering, information systems, materials, and services.
Headquarters are in Mumbai.
The Tata Group was founded as a private trading firm in 1868 by entrepreneur and
philanthropist Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata. In 1902 the group incorporated the Indian

16
BIT-MBA
Maruthi Suzuki

Hotels Company to commission the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, the first luxury hotel
in India, which opened the following year. After Jamsetji’s death in 1904, his son Sir
Dorab Tata took over as chair of the Tata Group. Under Dorab’s leadership the group
quickly diversified, venturing into a vast array of new industries, including steel (1907),
electricity (1910), education (1911), consumer goods (1917), and aviation (1932).

Following Dorab’s death in 1932, Sir Now roji Saklatwala became the group’s chair.
Six years later Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata (J.R.D.) took over the position. His
continued expansion of the company into new sectors-such as chemicals (1939),
technology (1945), cosmetics (1952), marketing, engineering, and manufacturing
(1954), tea (1962), and software services (1968)-earned Tata Group international
recognition. In 1945 Tata Group established the Tata Engineering and Locomotive
Company (TELCO) to manufacture engineering and locomotive products; it was
renamed Tata Motors in 2003. In 1991 J.R.D.’s nephew, Indian business mogul Ratan
Tata, succeeded him as chairman of the Tata Group.
Upon assuming leadership of the conglomerate, Ratan aggressively sought to expand
it, and increasingly he focused on globalizing its businesses. In 2000 the group acquired
London-based Tetley Tea, and in 2004 it purchased the truck-manufacturing operations
of South Korea’s Daewoo Motors. In 2001 Tata Group partnered with American
International Group, Inc. (AIG) to create the insurance company Tata-AIG.

In 2007 Tata Steel completed the biggest corporate takeover by an Indian company
when it acquired the giant Anglo-Dutch steel manufacturer Corus Group. The following
year the company made headlines worldwide when it ventured into the automotive
industry.
On January 10, 2008, Tata Motors officially launched the Nano, a tiny, rear-engine,
pod-shaped vehicle that eventually sold at a base price (excluding options, tax, and
transportation fees) equivalent to $1,500 to $3,000. Although only slightly more than 3
metres (10 feet) long and about 1.5 metres (5 feet) wide, the highly touted “People’s
Car” could seat up to five adults and, in Tata’s words, would provide a “safe, affordable,
all-weather form of transport” for millions of middle- and lower-income consumers
both in India and abroad. The first Nano hit the road in India in July 2009.
Tata Motors purchased the elite British brands Jaguar and Land Rover from the Ford
Motor Company in 2008. Four years later Ratan Tata retired and was succeeded by
17
BIT-MBA
Maruthi Suzuki

Cyrus Mistry. Mistry was abruptly dismissed as chairman in October 2016-reportedly


over disagreements with members of the Tata family regarding business strategy-and
Ratan returned to the position on an interim basis. Ratan’s second stint as chairman
ended in January 2017 when Natarajan Chandrasekaran was appointed to the position.

4.Toyota:

Toyota Motor Corporation, Japanese Toyota Jidosha KK, Japanese parent company of
the Toyota Group. It became the largest automobile brand and manufacturer in the
world for the first time in 2008, surpassing General Motors. Many of its about 1,000
subsidiary companies and affiliates are involved in the production of automobiles,
automobile parts, and commercial and industrial vehicles. Headquarters are in Toyota
City, an industrial city east of Nagoya, Japan.

In 1933 Toyoda Kiichiro founded what later became the Toyota Motor Corporation as
a division of the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. (later Toyota Industries
Corporation, now a subsidiary), a Japanese manufacturer founded by his father, Toyoda
Sakichi. Its first production car, the Model AA sedan, was released in 1936. The
following year the division was incorporated as the Toyota Motor Company, Ltd.,
headed by Kiichiro. (The company’s name was changed to Toyota, which has a more
pleasing sound in Japanese.)
Toyota subsequently established several related companies, including Toyoda Machine
Works, Ltd. (1941), and Toyota Auto Body, Ltd. (1945). During World War II the
company suspended production of passenger cars and concentrated on trucks. Faced
with wrecked facilities and a chaotic economy in the aftermath of World War II, the
company did not resume making passenger cars until 1947 with the introduction
of the Model SA.
In the 1960s, Toyota took advantage of the rapidly growing Japanese economy to sell
cars to a growing middle-class, leading to the development of the Toyota Corolla,
which became the world's all-time best-selling automobile. The booming economy also

18
BIT-MBA
Maruthi Suzuki

funded an international expansion that allowed Toyota to grow into one of the largest
automakers in the world, the largest company in Japan and the ninth-largest company
in the world by revenue, as of December 2020. Toyota was the world's first automobile
manufacturer to produce more than 10 million vehicles per year, a record set in 2012,
when it also reported the production of its 200 millionth vehicle.
Toyota was praised for being a leader in the development and sales of more fuel-
efficient hybrid electric vehicles, starting with the introduction of the Toyota Prius in
1997. The company now sells more than 40 hybrid vehicle models around the world.
More recently, the company has also been criticized for being slow to adopt all-electric
vehicles and focusing on the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, like
the Toyota Mirai, a technology that is costlier and has fallen far behind electric
batteries.
