STEEL: CURRENT AND FUTURE CONTEXT<br />
As China <strong>and</strong> India industrialise the current <strong>and</strong> forecast requirement for steel<br />
is growing <strong>and</strong> likely to continue to grow at a faster rate than before<br />

Actual Forecast<br />
• Will an Indian steel company<br />
be one of the top five? [it<br />
already is]<br />
• Which companies will be in<br />
the top five?<br />
• Which Indian companies will<br />
become part of a top five<br />
company?<br />
Strong companies will attract<br />
capital to become stronger;<br />
weaker companies will be<br />
acquired<br />

NEW CHALLENGES BRING NEW DANGERS<br />
Solving new challenges with old ideas <strong>and</strong> attitudes brings bad results<br />
• Crimean War<br />
• Maginot Line<br />
• <strong>The</strong> danger of managerial obsolescence : the 15 year rule!<br />
Todays dangers for the steel industry:<br />
• Permanently high prices ….. Will lead to material substitution<br />
• Price volatility ….. Price risk hedging mechanisms are needed<br />
• Continuing obsession with overcapacity ….. We need well managed equilibrium capacity<br />
Long run returns will be driven - by competition – to an equilibrium position<br />
12 – 15% ROA?<br />

DEVELOPMENT BRINGS NEW HOPE<br />
• An industry no longer dominated by NA, EU <strong>and</strong> Japanese<br />
• Look at the composition of the IISI Exec Committee<br />
• Look at the emerging world players, Posco, Gerdau, Tisco, Techint, Boasteel, Severstal …..<br />
etc.<br />
• And the world’s largest steel company (in prospect) ….. Mittal <strong>Steel</strong><br />
