Abstract:
|
UK based MG Rover was one of the oldest car manufacturers in the world. Founded
more than a century ago, MG Rover's problems began in the early 1970s. The
company had to be nationalized to save it from bankruptcy induced by labour
unrest and financial problems.
However, the situation did not improve under the Government's management and the
company was privatized by selling it to British Aerospace (BAe). BAe sold MG
Rover to BMW which, after prolonged losses, sold it to Phoenix Venture Holdings
(Phoenix). Under Phoenix, MG Rover declared bankruptcy when the collaboration
negotiations with China's SAIC collapsed.
