Oddly, I don't have motivation to do your homework for you. > FYI RE: SAAB, then SAAB-SCANIA and now, Saab AB It was Investor, the owner of Saab-Scania, who decided to divide the two companies Saab and Scania into independent companies. One reason to that was that there were on synergies between Saab's consumer products and Scania's The process started In 1990, I think, when Investor sold half of its stake in the Saab car to GM. In 1995, Scania and Saab (the remaining part of their operations)t became independendet and a year later listed on the stock market.. Scania has no interest in buying Saab.
