When any organisation is involved in mergers and acquisitions, they generally used it to accelerate growth and to have access to various valuable assets of other company such as human capital and also to reduce competition in the marketplace to gain absolute competitive advantage in the market. Furthermore there are multiple empirical evidences proved that many mergers and acquisitions fail and being a reason to loss of market shares and exit of key top management personnel from the company. Different examples of failed mergers and acquisitions are found in almost all industries in different contexts. Many failure cases show us genuine discrepancy between the expectations, motivating acquisitions and the difficulty encountered to realise the expected value in the market and a complete miscalculations by the company and without knowing the ground reality they opted for or the acquisition. In June 2008 India-based Tata Motors Limited had announced that it had completed the acquisition of the two extremely glamorous and iconic British brands Jaguar and Land Rover from the US based food Motors for 2.3 billion USD. There are many experts who had shared their comments and it was mentioned that such acquisition would eventually help the parent company in several ways especially to attract the global audience, to get an international footprint and it will also help the parent company to enter the high end premium segment of the global automobile market and with the help of that the company would able to strengthen their presence in premium segment.
