...The Coca-Cola Company One of today’s most asked beverage world questions; Coke or Pepsi? My goal is to tell you why Coca-Cola is the worldwide leader in producing and distributing non-alcoholic beverages. Coca-Cola was founded in 1886, by Pharmacist, John Stith Pemberton. Initially Coca-Cola was used as a remedy for illness, selling for five cents. Things have changed quite a bit since the introduction of Coke, for instance, Coca-Cola now produces over 3,500 products in 200 countries. This fact alone shows the global grasp of Coca-Cola. Coke produces soda beverages like original Coca-Cola, Barq’s Root beer, and Sprite. What many people do not know is that Coca-Cola is also the largest juice and juice drink Company, selling close to two billion unit cases of juice and juice drinks a year across more than 70 brands. Minute Maid, Simply Orange, Fuze, and Hi-C are all juice drinks that are produced by the Coca-Cola brand. Coke also is a huge supplier in the water and sports beverage realm; they produce beverages like Glacéau Vitamin Water, PowerAde, and Dasani.

A: According to an online Strategic Management lecture, the key success factors of Coca-Cola can be summed up as the following: strong global presence, licensed bottlers, high utilization of fixed assets, advertising and differentiation, well-recognized and cherished brand name, retail and distribution network, product innovation capabilities, and breadth of product line.

...Strategy Q1: Assessment of environmental issues affecting Coca Cola Provide a detailed assessment of the environmental issues affecting Coca Cola global business and marketing strategy. Given guidance in terms of opportunities or threats they may pose for the company in the future. Lo; illustrate how marketing decisions are affected by various forces in the external business environment “WATER is to Coca-Cola as clean energy is to BP.” So declares Jeff Seabright, Coca-Cola's manager of environmental affairs, when asked about the firm's new global water strategy. The fizzy-drinks maker unveiled that strategy as part of its annual environmental report, released this week. “We need to manage this issue or it will manage us,” says Mr Seabright. At first sight, the analogy with oil may seem odd, but it is not so far-fetched. Big Oil has long been the target of activists clamouring for action on global warming. BP stole a march on its oily brethren by accepting that climate change is a real problem, making smallish investments in clean energy, and grandly proclaiming itself “beyond petroleum”. Coca-Cola has also been targeted by activists, but over the issue of water rather than energy. The firm has been hit hardest in India. First, experts from Delhi's Centre for Science and Environment, a green think-tank, tested various soft drinks and determined that they contained high levels of pesticide. It turned out that Coca-Cola was not the cause of the problem. But its inept handling...

...Running Head: COCA-COLA AND THE FOUR Coca-Cola and the Four Functions of Management Tiffany Woodward University of Phoenix Abstract: We will be explaining how internal and external factors affect the four functions of management in the Coca-Cola Company. We will be providing specific examples for internal and external factors that affect the company; the factors are as follows: globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics. Coca-Cola and the Four Functions of Management The Coca-Cola Company is one that we have loved and enjoyed for many years and more to come. The company was established in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. Today the well-known soda is sold in over 200 countries and is consumed at the rate of more than one billion per day. The four functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Coca-Cola had to do all of these to become the successful, thriving company they are today. Globalization is an external factor that would affect these functions. “Through the late 1990s, under CEO Roberto Goizeta, Coca-Cola pursued a strategy that involved focusing resources on Coke’s megabrands, an unprecedented amount of standardization, and the official dissolution of the boundaries between the U.S. organization and the foreign operations”. (Ghemawat, 2011) Coca-Cola has to recognize how much business that they have around the world and adjust any strategy to keep being successful. In the last few years...

...International Brand Management Brand: Coca Cola Background Coca Cola Company was founded in the year 1886, while it enjoys the status of being one of the biggest non-alcoholic beverage companies in the world, originally was intended as a ‘patent medicine’ when pharmacist John S. Pemberton as a ‘coca wine’ invented it in the late 19th century, Coca-Cola has dominated the worldwide soft drink market for decades now. It has been recognized as one of the most valuable brands and retained No.3 position on the list of Best Global Brands, after Apple and Google. Now the brand is still continuing to evolve and to stay ahead of trends through constant innovations. It is intriguing to take a closer look at how Coca cola climbed up to the top and adapted itself in a changed world. Brand Typology: Experienceà Credence Coca cola always seeks to bring about Ultimate Drinking Experience. The idea of “consumer provocation” is crucial in building the brand as an experience brand. According to Joe Tripodi, Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer of Coca Cola, part of Coke’s engagement strategy is to move away from being a brand that promotes happiness, to a brand that provokes happiness. As firstly being an experience brand, provoking experiences through stories that are sufficiently powerful and share-worthy to fuel conversations with many is the core of the program. Coke has developed the so called “360 degree Engagement Plan” that includes low ...

...Coca-Cola: International Business Strategy For Globalization Dr. Michael Ba Banutu-Gomez, Professor, Management and Entrepreneurship, William G. Rohrer College of Business Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to analyze the efficiency of global strategies. This paper identified six key strategies necessary for firms to be successful when expanding globally. These strategies include differentiation, marketing, distribution, collaborative strategies, labor and management strategies, and diversification. Within this analysis, we chose to focus on the Coca-Cola Company because they have proven successful in their international operations and are one of the most recognized brands in the world. We performed an in-depth review of how effectively or ineffectively Coca-Cola has used each of the six strategies. The paper focused on Coca-Cola's operations in the United States, China, Belarus, Peru, and Morocco. The author used electronic journals from the various countries to determine how effective Coca-Cola was in these countries. The paper revealed that Coca-Cola was very successful in implementing strategies regardless of the country. However, the author learned that CocaCola did not effectively utilize all of the strategies in each country.

In 1886, John Pemberton, an Atlanta pharmacist, stirred a concoction and carried it to Jacobs’ Pharmacy that was a few doors down. Mixing the concoction at the Pharmacy with carbonated water letting the customers sample the product and the after the sampling the mixture was selling for five cents a glass. The first year average of selling the mixture was nine glasses per day. The mixture was named Coca-cola from Pemberton’s bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, who wrote the name in script and is still written the same way today. Pemberton died in 1888 without knowing the success of the business. Asa Griggs Candler securing the rights to the business in 1891 for a total of $2300 became the company’s first president and took the company to greater heights. Marketing of the new product by giving away free coupons for the new drink was his way of making the product known passing out free calendars and signs to pharmacy’s so the symbol, and the name would get out into the world (The Coca-Cola Company, 2011) .
