Experiment 3
Carlos Slim
Mexico City Bureau May, 30 2007.
- These days Slim has a lot. His wealth has caused some resentment in a company where 40 percent live in poverty and thousands emigrate each year to seek opportunity in the United States. Both the U.S. and Mexican governments complained recently that Mexico's economic growth is stunted because large conglomerates such as Slim's have too much control.

- The domination of large Mexican conglomerates such as Slim's chokes off growth of smaller companies, says Celso Garrido, an economist at Mexico City's Autonomous Metropolitan University who studies Mexico's business dynasties.

Ratan Tata
Business Week August, 13 2007.
- Tata's business dealings reflect the bolder side of his personality. In the past four years he has embarked on an investment binge that is building his group from a once stodgy regional player into a global powerhouse.

- Tata has overseen sharp downsizing, risky plunges into auto manufacturing and telecom, and a transformation of the conglomerate's insular and lethargic management culture. Now he wants to prove tata companies can compete in the rich West as well as in the unpredictable but hugely promising markets of the developing world. Whats more Tata wants to set out the group solidly on a path to achieving all this before he retires.
