Abstract
On 29 June 2005 Videocon won the race to acquire the colour picture tube (CPT) business from Thomson SA, a multinational corporation headquartered in France. The acquisition granted them access to several plants around the world, which had a combined manufacturing capacity of 19 million units of CPTs per year. For Videocon, this meant that they were now in the same league as global market leaders like LG-Philips, Samsung and Matsushita.
