Using the Case study attached please address following 2 questions (1/3 of work is for Q1 and 2/3 for Q2) Information will be used for ppt slides so use of tables and graph is highly desirable (sticking to word count is not that important, allocated the wording to give some time for research and analysis not for long text writing, bullet point structure will work fine) Q1: Major reasons for the choice of JV route (with reference to the choice of specific partner) by Tata and Thyssenkrupp AG. Why choose JV and not acquisition/merger what are the benefits they are looking for in this model (why go partially owned subsidiary basically) AND what risks they want to mitigate by not going fully owned. Maybe analyze previous companies behavior, were they going for acquisitions or JVs historically while they grew, was that experience successful or unsuccessful. Generally, in steel industry is it more common to grow organically or inorganically and if it is JVs or Mergers/Aqcuisitions used as mechanism, was that successful? Maybe look from culture perspective are large Indian corporation prefer certain mode of expansion globally? Could that be related to Hofstede cultural frame work or WGI country analyses frame of work? Other relevant frames of work? Q2: Compare, analyze and contrast the key indicators of financial position of Tata Steel Europe and Thyssenkrupp AG as independent entities before the JV in year 2017. How does that make sense in terms of proposed JV along with its structure? 1. Analyses of the Steel Industry needs to be done (how it has been performing over the past years ~30 years) 2. Industry value chain analyses to see where each company sits 3. How each of the companies has been performing compare to direct competitors (Analysis for all the ratios in exhibit 5 needs to be done for each company, also need to mention if the numbers for the last reports are different from previous years or consistent with last 5 years companies state) 4. Conclusion if it made sense to go 50:50 JV give financial position of both and competitive state of both within their competition group
