Acquisition by Tata group

Acquisition: you might have heard this term in business world. This means that taking control of one company by another company. This can be done usually in order to enlarge their business and survive in foreign markets. The large company in a particular industry will acquire small companies in the same industry. You might hear so many success stories in acquisition. Let me give big example for this kind of acquisition, India’s largest group Tata acquired United Kingdom’s Tetley tea in the year 2000.
It has happened exactly ten years before and it has got almost all the shares of that industry. One important thing here is that Tata tea is smaller than the company it acquired. Tetley tea is twice big as Tata tea; this was the first big acquisition by an Indian company in international market. Tata has paid around four hundred and thirty one million USD for this acquisition. The executive director of Tata sons said that this is the model for business innovation and it acts as a role model for acquisition. This became the case study in acquisition.

Cars for India

India is overtaking Japan in compact car manufacturing. Car manufacturers like ford, Volkswagen, General motors ready to invest. Currently they are investing hundreds and millions of pounds to Indian automobile industry to capture the market. China overtook US in the car manufacturing and it is being the top of the list. Japan was the leading manufacturer of small/compact car in 2007 and the market is dropping. It is expected that the sales of compact cars will go up in upcoming year.
Latest survey says that around 850,000 cars will be sold in this year and it is expected that it will go up in next year as well. In western countries public preferred to buy more luxurious cars where as developing countries like India customers looking to have a car at least. In this scenario, compact/small size car will be the best suit them in many ways.

Electricity from Sewage


There are so many things need to be saved in this world. We have to use all wastages effectively. Thames Water Company did it. Now they are generating electricity from human’s poo. It may not be good to hear but actually it saved £ 15 m in last year. Sewage cleaning process carried out. Sewage cake has been dried. It burnt to get some heat and this heat has been used to get some electric power. There are two different methods are used to get electric power. One method is that sewage cake is used to burn and this heat used to run a boiler and get some electric power. And second method is through anaerobic digestion where methane is burn to get more heat which is again used to generate heat as similar to first method. According to official, 100% sewage used effectively nothing has been sent for landfill.
After burning all those things the ash will be sent to farmers for fertilizer. The solid form of sewage has more calorific content that gives more heat compare to normal thing. There are some other method which also gives electricity to home. One method among them is that we can make some deep hole in ground and we will get hot steam from it. This hot steam can be used to generate electricity. These methods have zero pollution.
