The Creation of Wealth chronicles the history of the Tata business empire from its early beginnings to contemporary times. The founder, Jamshedji Tata, was a pioneer in many ways among early Indian entrepreneurs. Jamshedji Tata was not just a businessman but a patriot who always kept the future of his country in sight. He focused on the three areas of steel, hydroelectric power and technical education which he saw as keys to the country's growth. The Creation of Wealth shows how the Tatas have consistently stuck to this vision of their founder. It shows their concern for the country's growth and the ways by which they planned the expansion of their business interests. The book traces the group's history from the British period to the post-independence era of strict state-controls on private enterprise. Then came the 1990s which brought about the economic reforms initiated by Dr. Manmohan Singh. This was also the period when the Tata Group was in a period of transition, with Ratan Tata taking over as the head. Liberalization presented its own challenges and the Tatas had to transform themselves again to adapt to a new era. However, through it all, the Tatas have never lost sight of the corporate social responsibility that their founder defined for the company. This new edition of The Creation of Wealth was published in 2006 by Penguin India. It is available in paperback format. Key Features:
