...Summary The case traces the history of the struggles both companies encountered during the start-up phase of their business. During the 1990’s, India’s government opened its door to foreign investors and PepsiCo entered into India and Coca-Cola re-entered four years later. Both companies had many difficult situations to overcome and eventually had to recognize that India’s market was very different and a special knowledge, skills and local expertise was needed to be obtained if both companies wanted to succeed. Along with the adopting to the different culture, the two companies faced bad press over the pesticide content in its soft drinks. Overall, the case highlights the many challenges the two companies faced going overseas to India. 1. The political environment in India has proven to be critical to company performance for both PepsiCo and Coca-Cola India. In Coca-Cola's first entry into this market, they withdrew from India because of the policy of no foreign company could own a majority equity stake greater than 50% and the government wanted them to share their secret recipe. During this time, it is clear there is corruption in the India's government. In 1991 a new government took office which made it easier for foreign companies to do business in India. Coca-Cola re-enter the Indian market in the early 90’s becoming a major competitor of PepsiCo who had entered the Indian market in 1986. Because Coca-Cola had chosen to leave the market than re-enter it cost them time, energy...

...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.

...Coke and Pepsi Learn to Compete In India. Summary of the case The case of Coke and Pepsi in India is a lesson that all marketers can observe, analyze and learn from, since it involves so many marketing aspects that are essential for all marketers to take into consideration. Both companies had many difficulties, especially Coca-Cola, and it's useful to observe how it dealt with the different aspects, stating from the political environment of the Indian market and the trade barriers it faced, going through the market entry and penetration strategies considered and the flexible marketing mix used and how it was placed to increase consumption and market share, ending with the change in the environment and market due to boycott campaigns for different reasons. Discussion Political environment and trade barriers: Until the early 1990s, India was considered unfriendly to foreign investors, especially in consumer goods sector. If an item could be obtained within the country, imports of similar items were forbidden. Due to this environment, Coca-Cola had withdrawn from the Indian market in 1977. Looking back at Coca-Cola's withdrawal we can notice: Coke's refusal to give the formula and withdraw from the market wasn't a clever decision, because as a big company, coke must expect to face many challenges. It should have believed in it marketing capabilities and its ability to position its brand as a unique one, different from others even if they claim they are...

...Promotional Plan Executive Summary Naturally brewed with no added preservatives in Golden, Colorado, the heart of the Rockies, Coors Light is the eighth leading beer brand in the world. As Molson Coors’ largest brand, the new parent company after the 2005 merger, Coors Light has established itself as the biggest selling brand in both the US and Canada. The merger, however, left the company heavily indebted and with limited capital suffered a loss of partnering and sponsorship for major sporting events. Coors Light has worked extremely hard to maintain the positioning as ‘The Worlds Most Refreshing Beer” withstanding the susceptibility the brand faces with only a single brewing site and third party distributors. This promotion plan includes the following objectives for the upcoming year: * To attract non-users and create brand awareness among 90% of females aged 21-30 seeking a refreshing tasting light beer, * To retain the 18-24 year old male target currently held by Coors Light. * To engage the mobile community through the use of Mobile Insider, connecting the brand to consumers. The objectives should be met through various promotional activities tied closely to the company’s long-standing brand image, and mobile promotions to increase accuracy in reaching target markets. Over the next 12 months it is recommended that Coors Light continue to use the Maxim Golf Experience to maintain the current target market. The brand will increase awareness...

...with developing a strategy to grow share and profitability across PCI sales but focusing particularly on 7-Up. Pepsi Cola International had shifted focus to its global brands and, since acquiring 7Up International in 1986, had withdrawn all marketing and technical support for Pepsi’s local Pakistani brand, Teem. As a country manager, however, Mustafa was evaluated on profitability, and Teem was a profitable brand. Mustafa knew that he would need to make important decisions about Teem in developing a brand strategy and marketing plan. Considering Teem’s success in Pakistan, Mustafa wondered how he should position the soft drink and whether to continue investing in it despite the loss of international support. With PepsiCo’s acquisition of 7-Up International, arranging for 7-Up and PCI bottlers in Pakistan to merge also became a priority for Mustafa. The ability to coordinate strategies across all bottlers producing PCI brands would be essential. By August 1990, PCI had been able to merge 7-Up and PCI bottlers in three regions. As contracts expired over the next year or two, Mustafa would need to convince the remaining 7-Up bottlers to sell their plants to PCI bottlers as well. With the mergers complete, Mustafa’s next step would be to persuade bottlers to adopt an updated product line. However, since this would entail changes to Teem, a strong Pakistani brand that outsold 7-Up in some regions, Mustafa anticipated resistance. PEPSICO INC. Pepsi Cola International was owned by parent...
