Introduction
The organisation I have chosen to base this assignment on is Skoda. I have chosen Skoda because i believe they are a very creative and innovative car company, from their recent adverts of building their cars with cakes and other foods, this shows Skoda are very creative, and this made me choose Skoda. Before the adverts Skoda were relatively unknown to me personally, however after seeing their creative adverts they stand out more as an organisation.
Explaining Skoda
Skoda started of making bicycles; this is quite strange because it shows the creativity within the organisation. They started of making bicycles and now they are making cars. Skoda is a Czech company; however they have merged with the German car company Volkswagen. The history of Skoda's rise from being a running joke to becoming the most deservedly respected name in the car world is one of the triumphs of the modern era.
