How Ratan Tata is changing India's biggest companyRatan Tata trained to be an architect. Then he worked for the family firm, the Tata Group - one of the biggest companies in India. It has companies in many different sectors, including the car industry and the steel industry. The company's latest project is producing a car that costs under $3,000. Mr Tata does not drink or smoke and he does not like publicity. He became chairperson in 1991. At that time, Tata was a difficult organisation to manage. There were more than 300 different companies in the group and some were oldfashioned. Today, there are only 96 companies and the group is more modern. In the past, it was difficult for Tata to trade outside India because of competition from other countries. Now it exports internationally. The Tata Group is also buying companies in different countries. At the moment, one of the companies in the group, Tata Steel, is trying to buy Corus, a European steel company. But it has a competitor CSN, a Brazilian company, also wants to buy Corus. Ratan Tata is making changes to the company. Many of these changes help make the group more competitive. But he isn't changing all the group's traditions. For example, the Tata Group still tries to help its workers - the children of Tata's steelworkers first started to have free education in 1917. Two thirds of the Tata Group is owned by charitable foundations, and today they are still helping people in India. Investors sometimes ask: 'Is Tata doing the right thing? Is charity good for business?' But Mr Tata thinks it is possible to help people and be competitive at the same time. Задание 2.
