ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the detail regarding the result of the survey on the management style in Hindustan Motors. Hindustan Motors is an Indian automotive manufacturer based in India. It is owned by the Birla family. The company was the largest car manufacturer in India before 1990. In 2017, Hindustan Motors sold its brand name to the French company Peugeot. Post-Independence in 1948, vehicle production was shifted to West Bengal. In early 1999, General Motors India purchased the plant from Hindustan Motors. Hindustan motors used to make earthmovers, initially in collaboration with Terex–USA, and beginning in 1984, with Caterpillar Inc. In Hindustan Motors, workers had nothing to do with the strategy and progress in the plants. Workers were not consulted regularly on matters of work, future plans, and strategy. One of the central purposes of management is to facilitate communication across all of the organization’s boundaries, so that the entire company works together to address given business challenges.
