參考答案:The Company
Citroën began as an industrial venture, a firm whose identity was closely linked with the personality of an extraordinary man.
More than eighty-five years on, the same pioneering spirit continues to drive the company. This spirit exists – naturally – in the products made by Citroën, as well as in the hearts and minds of the staff.
The Identity
Citroën was the name of an exceptional man. Trained at the Ecole Polytechnique, an elite engineering school, André Citroën was a brilliant technician. But he was also an adventurer and an inventor of modern style. The stamp of his personality remains integral to the identity of the company that he founded in 1919.
This creative drive is combined with a strategy of market conquest that underpins Citroën’s spirit of innovation. A Citroën is a unique, meaningful, inspired object that looks like no other car. The brand name also stands for quality. And since the quality of both products and services is central to the company’s image and to the loyalty shown by customers to the brand and its network, Citroën has implemented a certified quality system through which it is aiming to identify and satisfy customer expectations even more effectively.
In their day-to-day work, Citroën personnel are committed to pursuing growth and efficiency through a culture of constant progress. The founder’s pioneering spirit thus extends well beyond the brand’s products, to encompass the action of the men and women who work for the company, to serve customers… and the world around them. Citroën has already made the environment a priority concern. Across its network, the company has put in place tools and services designed to address environmental problems and, ultimately, to improve the image of the industry as a whole.
Men and women
Citroën’s 13,900 employees, 6,045 of whom work outside France, all contribute to the company’s results. In France, 1,785 people work at the head office and in central services, while a further 6,070 are involved in commercial activities outside head office. In 2005, Citroën hired 89 new managers for France.
Network
In France, Citroën has almost 346 sales outlets, more than 2,310 Citroën Authorised Repairers, 321 Official Spare Parts Distributors and 789 Eurocasion licensees. In Western Europe, the company is represented by 18 subsidiaries and 8 importers running a total of almost 1,761 sales outlets, around 4,269 Citroën Authorised Repairers and 1,159 Official Spare Parts Distributors. In the rest of the world, the network comprises 67 importers, 3 subsidiaries, 1 jointventure in China and more than 1,150 sales outlets.
