1. Describe the economic characteristics of the global motor vehicle industry.

The characteristics of the global motor vehicle industry are a boom in certain places and a bust in others all due to economic conditions in different nations.

Tata also has the strengths of being the number 1 manufacturer in India, 3rd largest bus manufacture by volume, 3rd largest passenger vehicle manufacturer in India, and 4th in manufacturing trucks by volume in the world. Tata also has a very high employee
