2.EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT OF MACRO-ENVIRONMENT
This analysis helps us to describe and understand different factors that are used in the
scanning component of strategic management:
1. Economic Factors
Key major economic factors which existed during the Tata Nano crisis are:
7.1% of India’s GDP comes from automotive Sector and contributes to about 49% of
India’s Manufacturing GDP.
JLR says “Hard Brexit” forced the company to shut the UK Operations which costs 1.52
Billion to the company.
All the sectors were affected with the GST
The Economic changes in India was uncertain. Yet, a developing country like India has
understood the importance of what manufacturing sector can bring to the table. India
want to prove its worth in manufacturing sector and any economic changes brought out
by the government will help in boosting the sector .
2. Social, Cultural, Demographic & Natural Environmental Factors
For any production related company, cheap labor was easily available in India. The Tata Motors
believed in employing the local population and creating job opportunities, goodwill among the
society.
Certain social factors which influenced TATA Motors are:
Perception of TATA automobiles, especially in the Passenger segment is that of a cheap
car and the marketing of TATA Nano added to the same.
Tata Motors have supported more than 300 NGOs
From environmental aspect, the Company strives to become an Eco-Friendly company and
backs many campaigns like Clean Earth and Clear Earth. Climatic conditions and favorable
resources for business is an advantage to Automotive Industries. Large sea coast also helps in
exports. Gujarat, Chennai, Nellore etc.; which are coastal areas prove to be a hub for the
Automobile production in India.
Social factors for Tata Motors in India are favorable for the company specially in a
manufacturing sector. Philanthropic activities of company have added to its goodwill. For
competitive advantages, companies have set up its plant at strategic locations
3. Political, Government and Legal Factors
Tata Motors have faced political confrontation and intervention of regional political
parties. Shifting of Tata Nano plant out of Singur in WB is an example of that.
Laws pertaining to Patents of technology and operations are inadequate. Lobbying is
predominant in Indian economy
Government aims to scrape Diesel and Petrol cars by 2030 and such environmental
measures pose a threat to the company.
Government policies have a cascading effect on the Automotive sectors in India. Budget
allocated by the government and the taxation rules are volatile. GST and the Maximum
Axle Load Regulations Law are an example of the same

Design and Technology
