Strength Weakness
● Diversified portfolio and experience
of operating in seven major
industry sectors
● The company has a strong culture
and is guided by a clear vision.
● The resources required by the
company are easily available.
● They enjoy a strong position in the
micro environment.
● The TATA group has been plagued
by its reliance on the weak
channels of distribution that it has.
● They are also not profited by the
lacking value chain innovation.
● The macro environment in which
the group operates is very
unstable.
Opportunities Threats
● TATA group has been heavily
profited by the emergence of
markets that have a strong as well
as stable economy.
● Exporting is a big opportunity for
the TATA group.
● The company also has an
opportunity to invest in innovation
and development of newer
products that can suffice consumer
demand.
● TATA has been enjoying a slew of
opportunities that seem to be
unlimited due the strategy of
acquisitions and mergers of global
companies.
● Since TATA group is a
multinational company, perhaps
the biggest threat is the political
uncertainty which results in crime
and corruption.
● The global economy has been
fluctuating which means the
currency rates have not been
stable for a very long time.
● The logistics and transportation
costs of the operations are
definitely affected by the changing
fuel prices.
● The existence of free market is
also a threat to TATA group.
