Mittal's bid for Arcelor was a hostile bid. A takeover is considered "hostile" if either the board rejects the offer, but the bidder continues to pursue it, or the bidder makes the offer without informing the board of the target beforehand. On the other hand, Gujarat Ambuja deal was a friendly deal where both parties agreed to the price and the deal was done. It was totally different from the Mittal Steel one. Mittal Steel can be compared with ITC-BAT (British American Tobacco) deal where Mr. Yogesh Chandra Deveshwar (Chairman, ITC) was highly appreciated on the deal not being done.

Let me talk about Mr. Laxmi Narayan Mittal (CEO & Chairman, Arcelor Mittal). He is known as the world's largest steel producer and the fifth-richest person (wealth: $32 billion). He moved from India to London after a default to Indian financial institutions. But his tremendous success outside India confirms that license-permit raj did not let the entrepreneurship develop. It is only now when we got free after 50 years of insular policies and illogical trade protectionism. If they did not exist, we could have produced a few more entrepreneurs like Mr. Laxmi Mittal.

India is really an emerging economy power in South-East Asia. This success should be credited to late Rajiv Gandhi and Mr. Manmohan Singh. Rajiv launched the IT revolution during his Prime Minister's tenure. Manmohan Singh initiated the process of globalization and opened the economy. However, the corruption has increased manifold even among ministers, capitalists and bureaucrats and the Indian democracy has converted into a 'mobocracy'. The high level of terrorism also can be attributed to our politicians and misguided governance.

Our economy got liberalized in 1991 and it was called a seminal event in Indian history. We got rid of Fabian socialism and accepted the

    Edward Luce states that India is the largest democracy and has real elections in the country. Even though India is a democracy and has real elections there is an also a lot of corruption in India. The corruption is a stress that holds India back greatly from becoming a dominant world power. The economy of India still thrives enough to be an economic rival to the United States and china. Even though India is thriving Luce writes that India’s 1.1 billion people only 35 million have formal jobs that are enough to pay taxes. Even with this burden India still has a successful economy and can compete with other large countries. Luce states “India has a highly complex economy. Its complex steel plants are helping put their Japanese and American counterparts out of business” (pg. 55).…

    Globalisation, according to Penguin Dictionary of Economics, “Stresses the geographical dispersion of industrial and service activities (for example research and development, sourcing of inputs, production, distribution) and the cross boarder networking of companies (for example through joint ventures and the sharing of assets”. According to Herman E Daly, Globalisation serves the vision of a single, cosmopolitan, integrated global economy. This definition focuses on the cross border movement of goods, services and resources (financial and human) impacting on the domestic and global assets and employment. Globalisation, thus focuses on an integrated economic world in which the economy is a single market characterised by trade and investment flows, cross border economic activities in production, investment financing, movement of capital, technology, labour, internationalisation of consumption, capital, and services. Economic liberalisation is the gateway of globalisation and financial liberation plays the most crucial role in integration of one country’s economy on the global economic network. However, very often the term liberalisation and globalisation are used simultaneously. Important instruments of liberalisation are regulation of financial market to allow foreign capital, foreign investment, to and fro flow of capital etc. reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers of trade, simplifications of customs measures etc. For successful global integration a country must move to economic liberalization by dismantling entry barriers and Licensing system, reduction in physical restrictions on imports, reduction in control on capital and current account, reforming financial system and opening up financial market to private (domestic and foreign) players, removing controls on foreign capital (FD and portfolio)…

    To put to the stock, India had social domestic policies from 1947 to 1991. Apparently, the economy was characterized by extensive regulation, public ownership, pervasive corruption and slow growth. Since 1991, continuing economic liberalisation has moved the country toward a market based economy. A revival of economic reforms and better economic policy in first decade of the 21st century accelerated India’s economic growth rate.…

    Post independence, Indian economy has seen many transitions till now. Form 50’s till 1991, it has followed the principles of Nationalization based on the Socialist principles which it followed from then prospering Soviet Union. But, during the crisis of 1991, when the country was on the brink of going bankrupt, economic reforms were introduced in the form of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization and Indian economy went on from being a closed and planned economy to more of a market driven and mixed economy. Since then, the Indian economy has reached new heights. It is now, the tenth largest economy in the world and if adjusted to purchasing power parity, is the fourth largest. The growth rate of our economy is also third fastest in the world next only to China and Indonesia. But, although showing such high growth, has our country developed at such a pace? The answer to this question is a disheartening “No”. India, still, is very behind in the Human development Index (119, according to 2010 reports) and the economic growth has increased the unequal distribution of wealth in the country. So, the question arises, what went wrong? The primary reason for this can be attributed to corruption. Lets first look at the period when India was a planned economy and followed the principles of Nationalization. All the industries were state controlled and there was a system of “License Raj” during that period. Due to corruption, the industries were operating under losses and the quality of the products was also depreciating due to ignorance of the governing authorities. Adding to that, the vulnerability of foreign enterprises and private companies to venture into the market due to License Raj and corruption were also restricting the investment in the economy. This led to the crisis situation in the late…

    First of all, let us focus on the political environment. India had a very long period of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, and then became the colony of the British for nearly 100 years. In 1947, India was independent, and became a republic country. Due to British influence, India’s political structure is similar to Britain. India has a parliamentary system and a party system. There are more than eight national and two dozen regional parties in India. Among these parties, the Congress Party is the most influential party in the country. It had uninterrupted control of the government for 33 of the 44 years following independence. The Congress Party played a really importance role in India’s economic reform. For example, the aged P.V. Narasimha Rao led the Congress Party from 1991-1996 and was responsible for much of India’s free market reform in the early to mid-1990s. Comparing with other Asian countries, India’s parliamentary system and party system makes the political environment relatively free and open. At the same time, the influence and authority of the Congress Party also makes India’s political environment relatively stable. However there are also lots of issues impacting India’s stable…
