Skoda Stakeholders
Skoda auto is an automobile manufacturer in the Czech Republic. Starting off in the late 1890’s Skoda was just a company that manufactured cycles. However by the mid 1940’s Skoda had started to manufacture cars and slowly progressed as a company. However it was never a big company as they sold regular cars, which did not stand out. However in 1991, it was brought by the well-known car manufacture, Volkswagen. This made a dramatic change in the design and production of their cars as German technology was used to develop Skoda products. Know having the financial backing of a big German company, it allowed Skoda to push them selves to new levels and to produce bigger and better cars. In the past Skoda specialised in making small vehicles, however due to the investment from Volkswagen, Skoda is now also selling cars in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Not only have Skoda been rewarded for there recent cars with high sales but also by being presented with an award for best car, it was rewarded as the 2006 small family car of the year as well as ‘hot hatch of the year’
