Objective From Vision, Mission, Values, And SwottHOW TO DERIVE OBJECTIVE FROM VISION, MISSION, VALUES AND SWOTT ANALYSIS

To help us critically summarize the deduction of objectives from vision, mission and value (statements), and the SWOTT analysis, it is deemed essential to locate the place of objectives in the over-all process of Balanced Scorecard, management system framework proposed by Kaplan and Norton (1996) to link the different types of (performance) measurements together.

      Development of BSC begins with determining or updating the company’s over-all

strategy or vision and mission (reflecting the values of the company).   Understandably, it is advisable to clarify the organization’s future direction right from the start.   In this phase, it is important to consult with top management, rather than line managers, to obtain a clear picture of where the company wants to be in, say, three (3) to five (5) years.   With the corporate strategy in place, one now has the guide in the derivation of three

Swot Of Tata Motors

PROFILETata Motors Limited is India's largest automobile company, with consolidated revenues of Rs.70,938.85 crores (USD 14 billion) in 2008-09.

The company is the world's fourth largest truck manufacturer, and the world's second largest bus

manufacturer.The company's 23,000 employees are guided by the vision to be "best in the manner in which we operate, best in the products we deliver, and best in our value system and ethics."Established in 1945, Tata Motors' presence indeed cuts across the length and breadth of India. Over 4 million Tata vehicles ply on Indian roads, since the first rolled out in 1954. The company's manufacturing base in India is spread across Jamshedpur (Jharkhand), Pune (Maharashtra), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Pantnagar (Uttarakhand) and Dharwad

Swot analysis TataSWOT Analysis - Tata Motors Limited The company began in 1945 and has produced more than 4 million vehicles. Tata Motors Limited is the largest car producer in India. It manufactures commercial and passenger vehicles, and employs in excess of 23,000 people.

Weaknesses• The company's passenger car products are based upon 3rd and 4th generation platforms, which put Tata Motors Limited at a disadvantage with competing car manufacturers. • Despite buying the Jaguar and Land Rover brands (see opportunities below); Tat has not got a foothold in the luxury car segment in its domestic, Indian market. Is the brand associated with commercial vehicles and low-cost passenger cars to the extent that it has isolated itself from lucrative segments in a more aspiring India? • One weakness which is often not recognised is that in English the word 'tat' means rubbish. Would the brand sensitive British consumer ever buy into such a brand? Maybe not, but they would buy into Fiat, Jaguar and...
