Description
Summary:	On 27 January 2022, the Tata Group, a strong player in the aviation industry, acquired the debt-laden Air India airline with the ambition of making the latter a world-class airline. The Tata Group has a strong presence in the in the aviation industry: it has a majority share of AirAsia and has taken part in joint ventures with Vistara and Singapore Airlines. With the combination of the two airlines, the Air India acquisition presents the Tata Group with an opportunity to create synergies and become the second-largest domestic carrier in India (after IndiGo). The key focus areas during the acquisition are to reward management and to improve management performance, process alignment, organizational structure, employer branding, employee engagement, and retention. A committee of 40 members (Krishna Veera Vanamali, 2022) and a 100-day revival plan was formed to revamp Air India thoroughly. The case study examines the challenges organizations face in the aftermath of a merger and problems related to processes, systems, and people for successful acquisition. Integration and alignment of the acquired entity need to be well planned, taking care of discords and synergies for balancing the employee organizational expectations and needs. The case emphasizes the integration of various HR functions. The case also discusses integration tools and tactics that can be used during a successful acquisition. Students will be asked to analyze the critical issues that an organization faces while acquiring a company with a distinct corporate culture.
