K.C. Mahindra and J.C. Mahindra along with Malik Ghulam Mohammed.

Over the years, they diversified into many new businesses in order to meet the needs of their customers.

They follow a unique business model of creating empowered companies that enjoy the best of entrepreneurial
independence and Group-wide synergies.

This principle has led their growth into a US $15.9 billion multinational group with more than 155,000
employees in over 100 countries across the globe.

In 1994, the Mahindra & Mahindra management decided that, in order to bring about a focus in the company's
activities it was imperative to recast it in the SBU, or strategic business unit, mode.

Earlier, the company was organised in functional departments that saw, for instance, a marketing person
selling jeeps in the morning and tractors in the evening.

The reorganisation resulted in six core SBUs or sectors being identified. Each such division or SBU was to be put
under the charge of a sector president -- who would 'own' the sector and be entirely responsible for its
performance.

In addition, a corporate centre was created, to include some of the company's brightest staffers, who would pool
their efforts to strengthen the work of the sector presidents.
Strategic Business Units (SBUs)
The six sectors are:
Automotive
Farm Equipment
Trade and financial services sector
Infrastructure development sector
Information technology and telecom sector
Automotive components sector
Strategic Business Units (SBUs)

portfolio ranging from mass transport solutions to sports utility vehicles like the Scorpio and Bolero and multi-utility

Strategic Management
In all businesses today, aligning the business with strategy has become an important element to succeed. And Mahindra group is
no different. Organisational restructuring, managing key resource requirements, performance management systems, career and
succession planning have all been re-aligned to form synergy with the companys overall business strategy.

A Choudhari, executive vice president, human resources & corporate services, Mahindra & Mahindra group told
The re-alignment was necessitated by changing dynamics in the business environment.

He said that the objective was to grow leadership positions in the UV and tractor market and developing successful businesses
in relatively new business areas like IT, financial services, realty and infrastructure development and also service industries like
Time share (Club Mahindra).

Keeping in mind the new business objectives the challenge was to re-orient the human resource management towards these
objectives, said Mr Choudhari.
Strategic Management
Organisational Restructuring based on business needs

Organisational restructuring mostly happened because of the changing dynamics in the business especially the
tractor and automotive division.

In the past few years , the emphasis was development of the long term strategy and fixing clear business goals.

Taking the example of tractors, the long term goal was to be the largest manufacturer in the world. Thus the
process began by changing internal benchmarks of excellence to global standards.

Benchmarking all business processes from product development to customer care and commercial controls to
JUSA (Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers) was implemented.

Mahindra & Mahindra began a full reassessment of organisation and management structure with the help of
consultants like Mckinseys Arthur Anderson and Korn Ferry.
Strategic Management
OUTCOME:
Clear roles and responsibilities were identified.
The competency required for each role was mapped.
The officers went through individual assessments of competencies against the requirement of each role.
External consultants as well as internal assessors ran assessment centres and each individual was then placed based on
competency and role fitment.
The restructuring also led to the pruning of the staff.
In 2001, there were 3970 officers in 13 grades
And these levels which was brought down to 3400 officers in five responsibilities namely strategic, executive,
department/unit head, managerial and operational in 2003.
The same strategy was later extended in the other businesses in the group.
For example, Mahindra Engineering services has recently been established by combining key engineering and design
resources from the Tractors and Automotive division.
Strategic Management
Managing Key Resource Requirements

A reassessment of organisational requirements brought in gaps in terms of management resources.
Many of the roles were filled through internal promotions and parallel moves.
For certain roles, the company began inducting senior management resources from diverse companies like Xerox, Marico,
Enron, Hindustan lever Ltd as well as from engineering, tractor and automobile sectors.
A talent pool with rich background which was suitable to the changing business requirements of the group was created.
Also to have young bloods in the company for long term benefit, they started a Management Trainee Scheme by hiring
young talents from campus recruitment.
The group has put in place a Mentoring system, where each management trainee has a senior executive who plays the role of
mentor.
Reviews were done after every 2-3 months and proper guidance and counselling was done if it was required.
Further in order to encourage existing management resources to seek internal opportunities beyond their immediate business
group, a formal internal advertisement has been established, which puts up vacancies on the Mahindra intranet.
Strategic Management
Strategic Management
Management Development (house management development programme)


Need to enhance internal talent and leadership potential was felt at middle and senior management levels.

This objective was being met through a series of initiatives at all levels including the top management, where the emphasis
is on strategy, leadership and change.

A three tier approach was in place to develop the capabilities of the management and it was structured to meet the needs at
each responsibility band of management.

So, if the emphasis in the top management is on strategy, leadership and change.

For the strategic and executive management band, the focus is on team building, people skills, understanding and managing
technology and financial and marketing orientation.
Strategic Management
For department and unit head management band, the emphasis is on general management skills, managerial and personal
effectiveness and multi functional understanding.

Apart from the in house management development programme, the group also utilises selective outside programmes for
high potential managers.

These include management programmes run by Harvard Business School, London Business School and India School of
Business Hyderabad.


The idea is to take the management development programme to the lowest level of the hierarchy to bring out the leadership
potential, which is extremely crucial for the companys growth as it moves ahead.
Strategic Management
Managing Career and Succession

The objective of career and succession planning was to taps both the strengths and weaknesses and aspiration of each
individual executive.

The detailed career planning also leads to identification of incumbents as successor to a specific responsibility.

What they try to do, through their succession planning is the early identification of potential successors and both formally
and informally, begin to provide expanded responsibilities so that there is an on-the-job development of a larger perspective
and understanding
