It reviews what is known about the recent experience of selected developing countries and developed countries. It describes and illustrates methods that have been tried and options that are available to governments. The report deals strictly with techniques (that is, how to privatize and not whether to privatize). The issues analyzed are the most recurrent in the process of implementing privatization. The report, which consists of three volumes, is largely the result of a cooperative effort by various contributors within and outside the World Bank. Volume I, Methods and Implementation, relies extensively on Volume II, Selected Country Case Studies, and Volume III, Inventory of Country Experience and Reference Materials.

  • History of Jaguar Cars
    Jaguar History Jaguar Cars (Brand of Jaguar Land Rover) Jaguar Cars (/ˈdʒæɡjuː.ər/ JAG-ew-ər) is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover,[6] a British multinational car manufacturer headquartered in Whitley, Coventry, England, owned by Tata Motors[1][2][3][7] since 2008. Founded 1922 by Sir William Lyons and William Walmsley Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before developing passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II to avoid the unfavorable connotations of the SS initials.[8] Sale to The British Motor Corporation followed in 1966, the resulting enlarged company now being renamed as British Motor Holdings (BMH), which in 1968 merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became British Leyland, itself to be nationalized in 1975. Jaguar was de-merged from British Leyland and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1984, becoming a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index until it was acquired by Ford in 1990.[9] Jaguar has, in recent years, manufactured cars for the British Prime Minister, the most recent delivery being an XJ in May 2010.[10] The company also holds royal warrants from Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.[11] Jaguar cars today are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centers at the Whitley plant in Coventry and at their Gaydon site in Warwickshire, and are manufactured in Jaguar's Castle Bromwich assembly plant in Birmingham with some manufacturing expected to take place in the Solihull plant. In September 2013 Jaguar Land Rover announced plans to open a 100 million GBP (160 million USD) research and development center in Warwick, United Kingdom to create a next generation of vehicle technologies.
