...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The research study was conducted to learn the localization strategy of the global beverage company Coca-Cola in terms of two of its marketing mix variables, namely, the product line and the distribution process. In the process detailed information was collected on products launched, sales and distribution practices followed by the company, the working style of the retail outlets that stocked and retailed Coca-Cola products, and to a limited extent the psyche of the consumers. In addition the study also uncovered initiatives taken up by the top level management and the strategies they laid out to enhance the company’s market share and sales turnover. INTRODUCTION Definition of product line: A product line is a group of products that are closely related because they function in a similar manner, are sold to the same customer groups, are marketed through the same type of outlets, or fall within given price ranges. The major product line decision involves product line length- the number of items in the product line. Product line length is influenced by company objectives and resources. Introduction of the company: “Atlanta Beginnings 1886-1892” It was 1886, and in New York Harbor, workers were constructing the Statue of Liberty.

A continuación conoceremos situaciones que empresas grandes como Purina, Ikea y Coca Cola han enfrentado en algún momento y cómo han logrado superarlas de forma que hoy día siguen siendo exitosas. COCA COLA HISTORIA La Coca-Cola fue creada el 5 de mayo de 1886 por John Pemberton en la farmacia Jacobs de la ciudad de Atlanta, Georgia. Con una mezcla de hojas de coca y semillas de cola quiso crear un remedio, que comenzó siendo comercializado como una medicina que aliviaba el dolor de cabeza y disimulaba las náuseas; luego fue vendida en su farmacia como un remedio que calmaba la sed, a 5 centavos el vaso. Frank Robinson le puso el nombre de Coca-Cola, y con su caligrafía diseñó el logotipo actual de la marca. Al hacerse famosa la bebida en 1886 se le ofreció a su creador venderla en todo Estados Unidos. Pemberton aceptó la oferta (vendió la fórmula y su empresa en 23.300 dólares) y se abrieron varias envasadoras en Estados Unidos. Más tarde un grupo de abogados compró la empresa e hizo que Coca-Cola llegara a todo el mundo. Desde ahí la empresa se convirtió en The Coca-Cola Company. Coca-Cola fue el primer producto ampliamente accesible...

...COCA COLA CASE STUDY « Think global, act local » T. Levitt 1) What is the primary basis for Coke’s past international marketing success? Is it only advertising? The Coca Cola Company expanded slowly abroad in the early 1920’s. Coca Cola presented the beverage with different logos which are culturally symbolic. However the true growth of Coca Cola beverages in the world had been possible during the World War II. Coca Cola Company delivered beverages to the US soldier in Europe and Asia. Marketing: understanding the market Marketing philosophy: A good understanding of customer needs and providing a good offer. Coca Cola: in America is a ritual, you open the fridge and drink a coca cola. Abroad, drink coca cola is to live the American dream. Many will say that it is the level of advertising. But the better answer may be the consistent and effective, locally oriented global marketing, aimed carefully at targeted markets around the globe. Coke and other brands have become leaders in their product categories by understanding consumer motivations and desires and by creating relevant and favorable image associations. Image association: Pavlov theory Cowboy Marlboro Coke Soft drinks Cigarette Pleasant There is nothing fly-by-night in such activities. 2) Given the growing political and economic uncertainty, what changes can Coke make to its global marketing strategy? During the 1990’s, the marketing strategy of Coca Cola Company was described by...

The product comes into existence: It was1886 in New York Harbor when the construction of the Statue of Liberty was in progress, John Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, was intrigued by a fragrant caramel-coloured liquid. He carried it a few doors down to Jacobs' Pharmacy where the mixture was combined with carbonated water and sampled by customers who all agreed — that this new drink was something special. Jacobs' Pharmacy then put it on sale for five cents a glass. Later, Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, named the mixture Coca-Cola and wrote it out in a distinct script, the same way it is in use these days.

...Key Marketing Problem/Opportunity The key marketing problem/opportunity in the case is that Coca Cola has lost market share in the international markets to their main competitor, Pepsi. There are several opportunities for the company to expand and to diversify their marketing strategy to offer new products outside of the carbonated beverages. Opportunity exists in categories such as juice and juice drinks, bottled water, teas, energy drinks, coffee and more. There are also opportunities to grow stronger relationships with their bottling partners, especially CCE. In foreign markets the product life cycle is in more of a growth trend Coke's advantage in this area is mainly due to its establishment strong branding and it is now able to use this area of stable profitability. Since the domestic market has become more consolidated and saturated, foreign markets provide an opportunity to continue to grow their current business. Coca-Cola has the potential to innovate and differentiate the company's products to sustain a competitive advantage. The company even jeopardized the bottler relations by raising prices of its concentrates which in turn back fired.
