Bosch in India BoschOrganization in India VerticalizationProcess in India
1. Bosch organization in india ▪ 1951 - Boschstartedoperating ▪1953 – Development of manufacturing operations -> segments: - automotive technology - industry technology - consumer goods and building technology - engineering an IT services ▪ Overtheyearsthecompanytried to focusoninnovation IN 2011 Bosch Group in India
ImplicationsofVerticalization For BoschGroup in India • Genesis in poor North America performance (sales and profitability were not too good) • Recent changes: • Link Indian operations to other countries • Increase the set of product divisions • Allows best practices, ensues consistency in manufacturing processes and facilitates balancing of production • Produce more units at competitive prices Bosch Group in India
Consequencesoftheserecentchanges: • Mobility of resources between subsidiaries • Uniformity of products and manufacturing methods • Development of a global product strategy • PROBLEM: Regions may become weak • Solution: Country Head. The country head is the head of all entities in India. Local needs of the Indian market and Indian operations are preserved. Bosch Group in India

CHALLENGES Fragmentationoftheorganization Confusionandconflict VoiceoftheRegionMayBeLost ResentementAcrossDifferentBoschCompaniesinIndia
1. Fragmentation of the organization Requires the approval of the Global Product Group Multiple reporting within India and outside which causes delays in resolving simple issues Conflicts between divisions that are supposed to work in synergies because of different goals and incentives More profitable divisions are reluctant to “subsidize” the less profitable ones Bosch Group in India
2. CONfusion and conflict The Head of the Division has to report to the MD of Bosch in India and to a person in the Asia region The importance of command is no longer there “We do not have the ability to adjust. Some of us talk too much” Strong and assertive personalities dominate over the weak and submissive ones Bosch Group in India
3. Voice of region may be lost • Target responsibility has final authority in case of conflict. • Other markets might be more attractive than India. Bosch Group in India
3. Voice of region may be lost • Products unique to India may be neglected by Global Product Group. • Administrative decisions used to have more freedom before verticalization. Bosch Group in India
4. Resentment across different bosch companies in india • Due to verticalization. • Human resources decisions were put into place separately. Bosch Group in India
CONCLUSION • Steady transition from a functional structure to a transnational organisation through the verticalization process. • Verticalization presents beneficial opportunities for India, but challenges must be met to facilitate the needs of the Indian market. Bosch Group in India
