RPG Enterprises--1995
By: Tarun Khanna
Abstract
As in most emerging markets, a significant portion of the Indian private sector is dominated by extensively diversified, often family-owned or controlled, business groups. This case examines the strategy and structure of one of the largest business groups in India, at a time when the economy is going through substantial transition. RPG Enterprises' restructuring in response to the policy reforms in India (1991-95) allow one to understand the underlying reasons for the existence of the business group in the first instance. Also permits a discussion of some of the difficulties of restructuring in an emerging market.
