Case Study Of Cross Border Acquisition Of Jaguar Land Rover

804 Words4 Pages

1. Executive Summary
The major aim of this project is to analyze the challenges and other aspects involved in a very famous cross border acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) by and Indian company: Tata Motors. The current state of ‘international joint ventures and mergers’ force companies to not only merge two different corporate cultures but also to instigate merger of two national cultures (Riccardo, 2013). The scene is more complex in case of this acquisition as Tata motors is a company from India which was ruled by Britain some decades ago.
The changes in business such as takeover of a firm or merger of two firms usually tend to follow a particular sequence:
• Alarm state: bankruptcy possible, acquisition
• New people are brought on top
• Re structuring of processes and people. The new ways of doing things will break up the existing ways of doing things and will give new scope to people
• The organization sets for itself new goals and standards. Since the objectives have been modified, direction and actions would be too
Did corporate and national cultures influence the typical sequence? Did this affect what would happen after the acquisition (often called as post acquisition management)? We referred many articles published in this famous case study and also interviewed in Tata motors to know the details of this event.
“Even in foreign hands these two British marquees were on the skids- until rescued by Tata Motors. Now sales are booming thanks to demand from china and

    One explanation appeals to be behavioral traits; the managers acquiring firms may be driven by overconfidence in their ability to run the target firm better than its existing management. This may well be so, but we should not dismiss more charitable explanations. For example, Firms can enter a market either by building a new plant or by buying existing business. If the market is not growing, it makes more sense for the firm to expand by acquisition. Hence, when it announces the acquisition, firm value may drop simply because investors conclude that the market is no longer growing.
