The Creation of Wealth - RM Lala (2004)

A swift read. The overall book talks about the history of the Tata Group. The book has three parts. Part-1 the Jamshetji era where audicious visions are undertaken. Part-2 the JRD era which marks development of collaboration and corporate structure. Some extraordinary actions around R &D on various areas. Part-3 redesigning the organisation for rapid growth and expansion with focus on technology with Ratan Tata at the driving seat. The book ends right before the Nano project. The Tatas didn't have a smooth sail with their business. There were many ups and downs they braved through to develop one of the most respected companies in India. The Tatas are as much contributing to philanthropy as much they have developed profit making corporate giants. 

A book worth reading.
