...Harvard Business School 9-898-171 Rev. December 11, 2000 Nantucket Nectars Well, we knew we were in an interesting position. We had five companies express interest in acquiring a portion of the company. Sometimes you have to laugh about how things occur. Tropicana (Seagram) and Ocean Spray became interested in us after reading an article in Brandweek magazine that erroneously reported that Triarc was in negotiations to buy us. (See Exhibit 1 for a copy of this article.) At the time, we hadn’t even met with Triarc, although we knew their senior people from industry conferences. We have no idea how this rumor began. Within weeks Triarc and Pepsi contacted us. We told no one about these on-going negotiations and held all the meetings away from our offices so that no Nectars employee would become concerned. It was quite a frenetic time. The most memorable day was just a few days ago actually. Firsty and I were in an extended meeting with Ocean Spray, making us late for our second round meeting with Pepsi. Ultimately, Tom and I split up: Firsty stayed with Ocean Spray and I met with Pepsi. Ocean Spray never knew about the Pepsi meeting. Tom and I have learned under fire throughout our Nectars experience, but this experience was a new one for us. —Tom Scott, co-founder of Nantucket Nectars Research Associate Jon M. Biotti prepared this case under the supervision of Professors Joseph B. Lassiter III and William A. Sahlman as the basis for class discussion rather...

(Bellis, 2013, p. 2) Coca-Colas, 2009 Operating Revenues amounted to $30,990 billion with about 74% of that revenue coming from its international operations. (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2012, Comparative Analysis Case; Coca-Cola Vs. PepsiCo p. 148) Its core product was and continues to be the carbonated beverage Coca-Cola even though it has acquired a few other beverages companies along the way. Those companies include Sprite, PowerAde and the Minute Maid Juice Company. Pepsi-Cola, the original product of what is now known as one of the major products of PepsiCo was invented in 1893 and it was originally marketed as “Brads Drink” with a somewhat optimistic marketing theme of being an elixir for the cure of Dyspepsia. Its main ingredients were Pepsin and Kola nut; thus the name change to “Pepsi-Cola” after the company was purchased in 1898 by Caleb Bradham for $100.

...Background of the company chosen: Hawaiian Punch is a well-known brand of fruit punch drinks owned by Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (DPS). The company experienced several ownership handovers and some of the most recent ones include Procter & Gamble sold Hawaiian Punch to Cadbury Schweppes in 1999, and Dr. Pepper Snapple was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes in 2008. The Current Situation of the Company: The main source of our study comes from an intensive case study that illustrates Hawaiian Punch’s “Go-to-Market Strategy” decision option, faced by the company’s Marketing Director Kate Hoedebeck during the time span from year 2004 to 2005. As the number one fruit punch drink sold in the United States, Hawaiian punch enjoyed its continuous success. Its goals are very much aligned with the customers’ needs, in the long-term it aims to maintain its competitiveness through high customer satisfaction, extensive product development, easy accessibility and better profits attainable for retailers to stock and sell. In terms of its strengths, it has already become Cadbury Schweppes’ fourth largest brand by volume. Since the acquisition of Hawaiian Punch by Cadbury Schweppes from Procter & Gamble in 1999, the company had employed two distinct and separate manufacturing, sales and distribution networks to stock and serve identical or similar beverages for the same retail customer. This dual distribution strategy by many has been seen as one of Hawaiian Punch’s strength, leading it towards...

It has since grown operating more than 21,000 stores in 65 countries with over 182,000 employees.

Their product mix includes roasted and handcrafted high quality/premium priced coffees, tea, a variety of fresh food items and other beverages. They also sell a variety of coffee and tea products and license their trademarks through other channels such as licensed stores, grocery and national foodservice accounts. Environmental analysis for Starbuck includes the economy, competition, technology and the political and social environments. Starbucks is usually known for "working for the environment" and they believe that their high prices are necessary for the quality of their products. The decline in sales has had a huge impact on the company revenue and production. Sales from stores have dropped drastically in the last couple years. Many would say that the countries financial crisis has made people think twice before purchasing a high priced coffee. The fact that Starbuck competitors may have a better deal in price has also played a part in their decline in sales. Starbucks’ biggest potential competitors are the fast-food leading corporations...

The company has faced stiff competition for years but now has started succumbing to the rapid change. The automotive scenario in India is changing rapidly and Maruti Suzuki has not been able to cope up with the change, at least not as well as some of its competitors. The customers are now more informed and experimental and hence the ‘close your eyes and pick a Maruti’ attitude is fast disappearing Maruti Suzuki India Limited. The company's headquarters are located in New Delhi. In February 2012, the company sold its 10th million vehicle in India. Tata Motors produces vehicles both in the Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) and the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M and HCV) segments.
