Reflecting on this weeks content focusing on ethical leadership; develop an essay making decisions for the following questions. 1. What inspired Tata Motors to build the Nano? 2.

What was the political risk of developing a low budget car in India? 5. Would it have been advantageous for Tata Motors to have formed an alliance with another automobile company in developing the Nano? If so, why? 6. Would this car be popular in countries outside of India? Why or why not? 7. Would you say Tata is an ethical leader in the automotive industry? Why or why not?
