5、Corus, an Anglo-Dutch steelmaker, is just one example of the once-staid groups new boldness. Mr. Tara was recently voted Indian of the year by viewers of an Indian television channel, beating both Sachin Tendulkar, Indias greatest cricketer, and Aishwarya Rai, the countrys most famous screen goddess
6、. And he has succeeded partly because he is what his friends call an individualist, and others might call a loner.Mr. Tata does hot like publicity and avoids the platforms and applause of conferences. He lives frugally, does not drink or smoke and seems baffled by the idea of time spent not working.
7、 Asked what he would do with it, he usually replies that he would walk his dog along the beach near Mumbai.

8、 says twice in the course of an interview at a hotel in New Delhi owned by the sprawling group.Mr. Tata became chairman in 1991, just as Indias economy was opening up. His uncle, who had run Tata for more than 50 years, had started Tata Airlines (which became Air India) and was to India what Gianni
9、Agnelli of Fiat was to Italy. He was a good-looking philanthropist (慈善家) with a French wife and held the first pilots licence to be issued in India.

10、for the succession even when his: uncle was due to retire.Despite all the glory that surrounded J. R.

12、dent fiefs by men much older than Mr. Tata. They might have expected Mr. Tata, who had never held an executive position, to leave them alone. Instead, he retired them, improving their pensions to soften the blow. He sold stakes in some companies and used cash from the sales and revenue from Tata Con
13、sultancy Services, Indias largest IT firm, to reinforce control of those that remained. There are now a mere 96 companies in the group, and Tata Sons now owns at least 26% of each of them. That has made the portfolio a little easier to manage, but it leaves Mr. Tata more isolated at the top.Shortly
14、after he became group chairman, Mr. Tata also decided that Tata Motors would make its own cars, even though a joint venture with a foreign firm would have been easier. Critics grumbled that a good truck business was about to be destroyed for the sake of an ill-conceived vanity project. But after a d

18、nd this is the way companies are moving. “Mr. Tatas latest car project - producing a vehicle that will sell for under 3,000 - combines two of the things that keep him from those walking along the beach: securing the fortunes of the family group and pleasing a highly developed sense of fairness. The
19、factory will be in West Bengal, a state chosen partly because it is in need of industrial development. West Bengals government is eager for the investment, but Tata Motors has faced protesting farmers, a politician on hunger strike and, Mr. Tata thinks, commercial rivals trying to prevent the birth
20、of a more affordable car. Tata Motors is sticking it out, and expects to secure the land to build its new plant at the end of the month.Now Mr. Tata wants to prove Tata companies can compete in the rich West as well as in the unpredictable but hugely promising markets of the developing world.

21、more, Mr. Tata wants to set the group solidly on a path to achieving all this before he retires.The barrel-chested tycoon hasnt named a successor or said when he plans to step down. Hell turn 70 in December, but he still has a vice-like handshake, and associates are amazed at his command of technica
22、l details of the various Tata companies. That makes his failure to designate a successor all the more disconcerting. Some even question whether his departure might spur the groups breakup. “Who will be the glue?“ worries one veteran insider. “Will there even be a central leader?“Ratan could even be
23、the last Tata to oversee the group. The Tata family tree, on display at a company museum, stretches back 800 years through generations of Parsi priests, an Indian minority descended from Persians. Though Ratan leads the family to unprecedented prosperity at present, it has to end with Ratan himself
