...1. Situation Analysis Case Background Created in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton, Coca-Cola has gone through many changes, some good and some bad, but in the end has become the worldwide leader in its industry (Graham, 2011). The company boasts a lineup of approximately 500 different drinks, including soft drinks, teas, coffees, juices, and waters. Soft drinks are their “cash cow” with around two billion cans and bottles sold each day (Graham, 2011). The syrup originally was designed as a "cure-all tonic" and contained coca leaves (Davis, 2004). Two years after creating the mixture, and just before he died, Dr. Pemberton sold the rights to the beverage to Asa Candler. Due to increasing demand Joseph Biedenharn started bottling Coca-Cola and bottled distribution of the soda began; within five years large scale bottling operations became available. Throughout the company's history, and even today, it has faced and overcame many challenges. Coca-Cola was, until recently, the world’s most valuable brand (Elliott, 2013), but is still the worldwide leader in the beverage industry. Through all the successes, Coca-Cola has encountered some challenges along the way. Coca-Cola has been criticized for discrimination against minority employees, poor working conditions of migrant workers, and even assassinations of trade union leaders and union-affiliated workers that provoked protests (Raman, 2007). Another emerging issue the company is facing is criticism that their products are contributing...

...1. Introduction A paradigm shift currently indicates the global challenges that industries are facing and more companies are pressured to embrace sustainability as business conditions change. However, only recently corporations started integrating sustainability as the part of their business strategy as they came to recognize that it is an essential part in growing and establishing themselves as the leader in the competing environment. A well-executed sustainability strategy can enhance the company’s value and reinforce competitive advantage in the market while protecting the capital base. The balance of power has shifted between corporations and it is important to balance economic prosperity along with environmental and social dimensions. Sustainable business strategy represents a marked shift in traditional business practices and companies who do not adapt to the changes in these practices in order to achieve sustainable profitability will be more likely to face the brand value decline or even extinction in the future. For instance, the change represents the need to understand how all three dimensions affect each other and companies ought to consciously create new consumer preferences. However, a lot of companies still are missing guidelines to implementing a marketing strategy of sustainability as an essential part, which is at the core of ensuring organizational, social, economic and environment growth while managing overconsumption issues (White, 2011). Current researches...

...A Critique on Mission Statements I. Introduction Upon entering into the market, a company does not necessarily have to have a mission statement; however, most successful companies achieve their objectives and goals through operating with and being founded upon a mission statement. The mission statement’s purpose is for companies to say much more about their business scope and purpose of ‘who they are, what it does, and why it exists’. Some companies project future growth in their mission statement; however, that projection can be stated in the company’s vision statement. This paper’s mission is to list and critique the mission statements of Spring Hill College and eight S&P 500 companies being: Google, Coca Cola, Avon, Walt Disney, Target, Wels Fargo, All state and Verizon Wireless. II. Spring Hill College’s Mission Statement Spring Hill College is a Jesuit Institution founded in 1830 by Michael Portier, Mobile’s first Catholic bishop. The mission of Spring Hill College a liberal arts and Jesuit College of the south reads: “Rooted in its Catholic heritage and continuing the 450-year-old Jesuit tradition of educational excellence, Spring Hill College forms students to become responsible leaders in service to others.

...organization that produces a comprehensive sustainability reporting framework that is widely used around the world.” This year, in 2012, The Coca-Cola Company has set out to report against the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that measure economic, environmental and social performance. We have done so within the scope of our Company’s wholly owned operations. Where we have reported information on behalf of the Coca-Cola system (The Coca-Cola Company and our bottling partners), we have flagged this information within the body of the text. For 2012, and the 2011/2012 Sustainability Report specifically, our Company has self-declared a grade B against the GRI G3.1 Guidelines. This year’s Sustainability Report has also received verification by a third-party external verification agency, FIRA Sustainability BV. Their verification is evidenced by a “+” sign next to our grade B, which reflects their verification and approval of our tracking systems. Throughout this report, you will find the KPIs that we have addressed, along with additional information regarding our most critical initiatives and programs. While we strive to continuously increase our transparency, some of the information requested in response to additional KPIs could put at risk our ability to compete and therefore are not included in the report.

...Apple Brand Communications Audit Analysis 1.Assessment of Apple’s Website: After browsing Apple's official website, I think it did quite successful with an overall sense and expression of Apple’s brand image. From my own perspective, I like Apple's official website design style, simple and sophistication. On the homepage, the advertisement in the middle catches the eye, with a big post and link to the related products. Colors are also designed to be simple and fresh on the homepage, adapting to Apple’s brand concept and making customers feel comfortable when browsing their website, which will interest customers to learn more information about this company's products and will give customers a perfect user experience. Secondly, I think Apple's official website has great usability, which classified every of its main products in the top homepage clearly, so that the major product information can be easily found and clicked on to get further detail information, such as the valuable product description and the best characteristic features of products. Design is the key of Apple’s concept, ease of use and simple of look differentiate all those “i”-products with others. In addition, Apple 's official website was also set up a product search, so that visitors can search for the information they want to get in the first place. And online customer service setting can promptly solve the customer problems for the product. Overall, everything in their website is very humanized. 2...
