Excellent marketing abilities in countries that arestill out of reach of many competitors of Ford
Motors Company.
Excellent network of suppliers and supply chain management.
Excellent management of global workforce withless unionization except for UK whereshop
floor militancy led to closure of Dagenhammanufacturing plant.
1.2.2 FordMotorsWeakness:
Not successful in withstanding against competition like Toyota.
Falling sales and revenues (faced whopping $5.45billion in 2001 that improved to $2 Billion loss
before the Jaguarand Land Rover companies were sold to Tata Motors India) poor financial
condition continuing for a number of years.
Yet to capitalizeto their potentialopportunities in Small and Medium segment where themotor
market is the largest.
Inability to establish sustainable markets in high end carmodels that led to sale of Land Rover
and JaguarCar Models.
Losing strength in local US market.
High Debt but no tangibleconsolidated efforts of cost management –still believe in paying
premium in single supplier model. (Probably to support their corestrength of Virtual assembly
lines and interchangeableparts).
No diversification – entire business dependent on automotive manufacturing and supply (except
Ford Finance which is not largeenough to save thecompany from turmoil.)
No Parent Company – Hence all responsibility of make or break lies with Ford motor company.
1.2.3Opportunities for Ford Motor Company:
Recovery of US and growth of US and global economies.
Growing motors market in small and medium segmentsin the third world countries.
Development of Hybrid carsand ElectricCars.
Growing economies in Asia where Ford is already present or canenter easily due to regional
strengths.
Promoting their powerful Volvo vehicles in the Bus and Truck markets of Asia wherethe local
brands like Tata Motors arevery strong.
Local sourcing and Manufacturing in Emerging Marketslike India.
1.2.4 Threat to FordMotorsCompany:
The westerncar marketshave been hit very badly due to stagnationand the current economic
crisis.
Stringent Emission norms in Europe, UK and US.
Japanese and Korean competitors are very aggressivein thewestern marketsresulting in
reduced grip of Ford motor company in US market.
Poor customer service network and supply chain management in some of Emerging and
Developing countries..

Jaguar Land Rover is a Premium Car Maker headquartered in Whitley, Coventry, United
Kingdom. Its principal activity is the design, development, manufacture and sale of vehicles
bearing the Jaguar and Land Rover (including Range Rover) marques. Both marques have long
and complex histories prior to their merger going back to the 1940s, first coming together in
1968 as part of the ill-fated British Leyland conglomerate; and later existed independent of each
other as subsidiaries of BMW (in the case of Land Rover), and Ford (in the case of Jaguar);
Ford later acquired Land Rover from BMW in 2000 following the break-up of the former Rover
Group; which was effectively the remainder of British Leyland.
The Jaguar Land-Rover business employs over 16,000 people, predominantly in the UK,
including some 3,500 engineers at two product development centers, in Coventry and
Warwickshire. Jaguar Cars, founded in 1922, is one of the world's premier manufacturers of
luxury saloons and sports cars. Land Rover has been manufacturing 4x4s since 1948. Its
products have defined the segments in which they operate. JLR sell cars in almost 100
countries, supported by 18 National Sales Companies in major markets, and importers in
others. –

1.3 Back Drop of M&A:
Ford Motors became cash strapped due to the US recession, and in order to save itself from
bankruptcy they needed immediate cash flow. This lead to the sale of their luxury brands;
Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin, probably their biggest mistake ever.
Ford took over Jaguar in 1989 while Land Rover came under its wing much later in 2000. Both
brands had iconic status in the market, but somehow Ford got it all wrong and failed to
improvise, because of which JLR ran into losses worth billions.
On the other Hand Tata’s Majority of Sales were still in Domestic Market and for meeting their
Global Ambition Jaguar Land Rover gave right platform, Market access and the access to the
value chain – Manufacturing facility in Europe, Inbound Logistics, Operations – Production,
Assembly, Testing, Outbound Logistic – Order Processing, Distribution, Marketing and Sales –
Advertising, Sales Organization, Service, Procurement, Research and development, Human
resources management and Infrastructure.

Tata Motors had to incur a huge capital expenditure as it planned to invest another US$ 1 billion in JLR
deal. This was in addition to the US$ 2.3 billion it had spent on the acquisition. Tata Motors had also
incurred huge capital expenditure on the development and launch of the small car Nano and on a joint
venture with Fiat to manufacture some of the company’s vehicles in India and Thailand. Basically in this
deal FORD had leveraged by TATA for relinquish of the past losses and to run the production at the
required phase. But the above mention benefits recoil for the TATA’s to work out the future scenario for
the running the operations as per desired manner.
2.1 Strategic Benefit:
Tata Motors stood to gain on several fronts from the deal. One, the acquisition would help
the company acquire a global footprint and enter the high-end premier segment of the global
automobile market.
Jaguar Land Rover are very good brand and FORD Motors Company was selling them
because they were in Financial Trouble, plus they had bought the company for USD5.3
billion USD which they sold at USD 2.3 Billion, so Tata picked up there firms at a pretty good
price and at point that they are already at an upswing towards being in better shape.
It gave Tata Motors access to the Local Value chain for Land River Jaguar in Europe of
Supplier, Supply Chain, Process, Manufacturing, R&D, Operations, HR, and Dealer etc.
Technology and Intellectual Property rights.
That key Strategic product, technology and size.
2.2 Understanding the source of Synergy Gains
Acquiring JLR would provide significant potential for revenue synergies, including giving Tata
greater international distribution, broader product range and better customer service skills
Tata gains access to world-class engineering capability
One of the main reasons that push companies to merge is the possibility to obtain synergies to
reinforce the competitive position. In this case, there was great potential for new synergies. In
particular, they would arise with some of the companies held in Tata’s portfolio. The companies
in question were: Tata Steel, TACO and TCS.
• Tata Steel (part of Corus group, also owned by Tata), is a multinational based in London,
which produces steel. It’s the second largest European steel producer.
• TACO (Tata AutoComp Systems Limited) is another company owned by Tata, specialized in
the provision of products and services in the automotive industry.
• TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) is an Indian multinational information technology services,
business solutions and consulting company headquartered in Mumbai.
On its side, Tata would be assisted in improving the quality of its current products in the Indian
market by capitalizing on the design capability and experience of JLR. According to Mohandas
(2010), the design and aesthetics of the newmodels will stay in the UK, which is the hallmark of
16. IndianInstitute of ForeignTrade

the iconic luxury brands, but such designs would be also provided to other companies of Tata,
especially those based in India. Also, by acquiring JLR Tata managed to soften competition in
the segment it wanted to enter.
2.3 Point of Revenue Increase.
The deal was that JLR acquisition increased Tata Motor’s debt-equity ratio 3.03 IN 2008-09 1.1
a year agao. Just after taking over, Tata Motors faced its toughest challenge when it incurred a
GBP 300 Million loss in the first year with JLR sales slumping by a third. This was followed by
Labour problems and negotiation with the British government for access to loans and
guarantees. However, in August 2009,it raised GBO 469 million through global depository
shares. It was the beginning of the turnaround Story.
Since then the company has raised money through several bond issues, which allowed it
greater strategic flexibility in investment in modernization of plant, product development and
expansion into emerging markets.
The company turned Profit in 2010-11, when it reported GBP 1.03 billion.

operating profits.

both the companies JAGUARAND LANDROVER had been making losses under their former
owner ford motors, however there was an opportunity hidden in exploring the strong brand value
and research and development hidden behind both the companies and eventually this
opportunity was utilized to the fullest extent by tata motors and its market capitilasation now
stands at 71500 crore which is more than a tenfold rise from the initial post acquisition low.
2.3.2BrandValue:
Recently TATA MOTORS drove past Reliance Industries to top the 2010 edition of India’s Most
Valuable Brands survey with a valuation of $8.45billion. A major part of this success can be
attributed to the JAGUAR ANDLANDROVER brands. Jaguar and land rover both have been
part of a larger conglomerate for a long time, however their potential was not unlocked
then, TATA MOTORS succeeded in doing that. Jaguar and land rover steadily started regaining
their rhythm in the market and contributed towards creating a good brand value for TATA
MOTORS.
TATA MOTORS-JLR brand soared 172%in one year to $8.45 billion from only $3.1 billion in
2008-09.
2.3.3CashFlowsandBottomLine
During the quarter ended june 2010 JAGUAR LAND ROVER has generated a positive cash
flow of £23 million, post capital and product development expenses the first such instance since
the deal. Moreover It posted a profit of £221 million (Rs 1,613 crore) for the quarter ended June
against a loss of £64million in the corresponding quarter. The margin expansion was driven by
cost cutting measures and currency tailwinds as well as sales of higher variants of landrover
and increasing sales in china and USA.
2.3.3 Topline
JAGUAR LANDROVER global sales in July 2010 were 19,386 vehicles, higher by 30%. Jaguar
sales for the month were 5,676, higher by 26%, while Land Rover sales were 13,710, higher by
31%. Cumulative sales of Jaguar Land Rover for the fiscal are 76,539 nos., higher by 50%.
Cumulative sales of Jaguar are 21,131 nos., higher by 31%, while cumulative sales of Land
Roverare 55,408 nos., higher by 59%.
2.4 Points of Cost Reduction
2.4.1Tata also managed to lower its operations costs considerably. For example it acquired
numerous newtechnologies saving a lot of money in R&D expenses.
2.4.2 Furthermore, the costs of manpower were also reduced, by outsourcing it from India to
Britain and vice versa. For instance, off shoring engineering services to India was one ways
money was saved.

M e r g e r a n d A c q u i s i t i o n P r o j e c t Page18
2.4.3 Tata Steel anticipated that the combined entity would save $450 million in production,
procurement, financing, and other synergies over the first three years after the acquisition.
2.4.4 In addition, there were enhanced technologies, skills and knowledge transfers from India
to Britain and vice versa.
2.4.5 In conclusion acquiring JLR will improve Tata’s balance sheet in the sense that its
revenues will increase owing to the reduced cost of production. Also, expenses regarding
engineering and designs services will be lowered and Tata will enjoy lower production 48cost.
2.4.6 Apart from sharing designs, knowledge and skills as well as reducing competition in the
market, the acquisition of JLR also reduced the cost of production thanks to the synergies with
other Tata Companies such as Corus.

4. Conclusions:
The acquisition of JLR by TATA motor was Strategically a very good move by TATA Motor
taking in consideration their Global Ambition, However they would need maximize the leverage
by not just increasing Sales or getting technological, supply chain, IPR or management
expertise but hey need to make sure that the TATA Group which has over 90 companies
together are participate the JLR value chain by provide cost, quality, customization and timely
output and gain from the share of JLR business expenses towards their respective line of
business however taking into consideration JLR management perspective.
JLR acquisition also possess some challenges high interest rate of Debt effecting profitability
but the more important one would be JLR would now have more share or percentage of
revenue in Tata Motors overall revenue and challenge is going to be to keep the pace and
leverage by TATA motors legacy products to increase their revenue share and also since the
majority of revenue would now come from outside India Tata Motors would have re look at their
Organization Structure to transform into a Transnational Organization and relook at their goals.
Over all it a good Acquisition which has increase TATA motors market share, Brand Value and
recognition and a very high amount of Synergy Gain in Supply chain, Technology, IPR ,
Visibility, Assets in EU Market and Access whole new segment of Luxury Sedan and Premium
SUV.
It has also helped TATA Motors in Domestic Market in India to increase the sales and revenue
and equipped them to compete with Foreign MNC’s in Indian Market.
