It's been over 125 years since this new drink was served for the first time
at a soda fountain in Atlanta, Georgia. Today, taking a Coke involves not
only have hands to favorite soda in the world, but a history of effort and
dedication, a present full of enthusiasm, work and energy; and a solid
future driven by the commitment of thousands of employees who are the
Coca Cola system in every country in the
world.
His philosophy is driven by the desire to
attract

and

meet

consumer

demand

consistently generate economic value for


shareholders, as well as greater social
development.
Through the various stages of the history of
The Coca Cola Company, its business
philosophy

has

been

grounded

in

its

mission, vision and values, always based on


its fundamental principle: Respect for human
dignity is above any economic consideration.

comes mostly from the mixture of sugar and oils of orange, lemon and
vanilla. However, the formula is a trade secret, kept in a bank in Atlanta.

9. FIVE STRATEGIC ACTIONS


9.1 We Focused on Driving Revenue and Profit Growth
Each of the 200-plus nations we serve plays a critical role in our
growth plans.

THE COCA COLA COMPANY

1

We used segmented revenue growth strategies across our business


in a way that varied by market type. And we aligned our employee
incentives accordingly. In emerging markets, we focused primarily on
increasing

volume,

keeping

our

beverages

affordable

and

strengthening the foundation of our future success. In developing


markets, we struck a balance between volume and pricing. In
developed markets, we relied more on price/mix and improving
profitability by offering more small packages and more premium
packages like glass and aluminum bottles.
Creating value for our Company and customers looks different in
different countries, and we did a good job segmenting our markets to
drive revenue growth in 2015. While we still have more to do, we
were encouraged by our results. Globally, price/mix rose 2 percent as
did volume, helping increase organic revenue 4 percent. We also
gained worldwide value share in our industry.
9.2 We Invested in our Brands and Business
Healthy businesses require continuous investment. We made a
choice to invest in more and better marketing for our brands,
increasing both the quantity and quality of our advertising. We
increased spending on media advertising by more than $250 million,
and we used these funds to share stronger, more impactful ads.
At the same time, we invested across our expansive beverage
portfolio. We improved our position in the energy category with a
strategic new partnership with Monster Beverage Corporation. We
invested in brands like Suja, a line of premium organic, cold pressed
juices, and agreed to buy China Green Culiangwang, a plant based
protein beverage brand. We also expanded to nationwide the U.S.
distribution of fairlife ultra filtered milk.

THE COCA COLA COMPANY

In 2015, we developed our first global marketing campaign to support


the entire Coca Cola Trademark of Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero and
Coca Cola Life. Launched in early 2016, Taste the Feeling
emphasizes the refreshment, taste, uplift and personal connections
that are all part of enjoying an ice cold Coca Cola. With this
campaign and our broader one brand strategy, were letting
consumers know they can enjoy Coca Cola with calories, fewer
calories or no calories and with or without caffeine. The choice
belongs to each individual, every time he or she reaches for a
delicious and refreshing Coca Cola.
9.3 We Became more Efficient
As we took steps to rebuild our growth momentum, we knew we
needed to invest in more and better marketing while also increasing
our financial flexibility. To these ends, we increased our efficiency and
productivity while reducing costs.
Part of the solution was zero based worka way of looking at our
business that starts from the assumption that organizational budgets
start at zero and must be justified annually, not simply carried over at
levels established in the previous year. We also cut spending on non
media marketing like in store promotions. And we found new savings
in our supply chain around the world.
Overall, we were able to realize more than $600 million in
productivity improvement in 2015, which we used to invest further in
our brands and business and also to return to our shareowners.
For the future, were working to drive productivity and continuous
savings across our Company and system. We see productivity not as
an event or series of events but as an ongoing, day by day process
of becoming stronger, leaner and ultimately better.

9.4 We Simplified our Company


Few industries have changed more rapidly in recent years than the
nonalcoholic beverage industry. Evolving consumer tastes and
preferences, coupled with sweeping innovations in the retail and
supply chain landscapes, have created an environment in which
speed, precision and empowered employees determine who wins in
the marketplace.
To seize this opportunity, we took steps to reshape our business. We
looked hard at our operating structure and identified areas where we
could be faster, smarter and more efficient. We removed a layer of
functional management and connected our regional business units
directly to headquarters. We streamlined a number of important
internal processes and removed roadblocks and barriers that
inhibited us from being as effective and responsive as we knew we
could be.
Most importantly, we began to look at ways to enhance further the
employee experience across our Company with the goal of creating
the worlds most exciting, productive, fun and fulfilling career
environment, with workplaces that nourish curiosity, learning,
innovation and growth. While this journey has just begun, our
associates have responded with the resolve, commitment and
passion that have been hallmarks of Coca Cola leadership since
1886.

9.5 We Refocused on our Core Business Model

THE COCA COLA COMPANY

The Coca Cola Company has always been a creator of refreshing


beverage brands. Today, our expansive portfolio includes more than
500 brands, including sparkling beverages, juices and juice drinks,
coffee, tea, sports drinks, water, value added dairy, energy and
enhanced hydration drinks. Among these brands are 20 that
generate more than a billion dollars in annual retail sales.
Another core competency has been our ability to lead the worlds
most sophisticated system of independent bottling partners while
creating value for our retail and restaurant customers. Over the
years, weve acquired and managed a number of Coca Cola bottling
partners with the aim of improving performance, optimizing
manufacturing and distribution systems, and ultimately refranchising
the bottling territories back to independent status.
In North America, we took aggressive steps in 2015 to accelerate the
refranchising of Company owned bottling territories with the goal of
completely refranchising our North America bottling system by year
end 2017. We also announced a transaction to form a unified new
bottling partner in Western Europe and took action to improve our
bottling system in Southern and East Africa, Indonesia and China. By
year end 2017, we expect Company owned bottlers to produce just 3
percent of our global volume, down from 18 percent today.

12. SWOT of Coca Cola


Coca cola is a brand which is present in households, shops, hotels,
offices, etc. You name it, and the place would have heard of Coca cola.
Coca cola has many products in its arsenal. Here is the SWOT analysis
of Coca cola.
12.1 Strengths in the SWOT of coca cola

Brand Equity: Interbrand in 2011 awarded Coca cola with the


highest brand equity award. Coca cola with its vast global
presence and unique brand identity is definitely one of the
costliest brands with the highest brand equity.

Company valuation: One of the most valuable companies in


the world, Coca cola is valued around 79.2 billion dollars. This
valuation includes the brand value, the numerous factories and
assets spread out across the world and the complete
operations cost and profit of Coca cola.

Vast global presence: Coca cola is present in 200 countries


across the world. Chances are, any country that you go to, you
will find coca cola present in that market. This vast global
presence of coca cola has also contributed to the building of the
mammoth brand name.

Largest market share: There are only 2 Big competitors in the


beverage segment Pepsi and Coca cola. Out of these 2, coca
cola is the clear winner and hence has the largest market
share. Amongst all beverages, Coke, Thums up, Sprite, Diet
THE COCA COLA COMPANY

coke, Fanta, Limca and Maaza are the growth drivers for Coca
Cola.

Fantastic marketing strategies: Coca cola unlike Pepsi


always tries to win peoples heart. Where Pepsis target is
continuously changing, and is targeted towards youngsters,
Coca cola targets people of all ages. The targeting is also done
by celebrities who are well liked for example Amitabh
Bacchan, Sachin tendulkar, Aishwarya Rai,Aamir Khan etc

Customer Loyalty: With such strong products, it is natural that


Coca cola has a lot of customer loyalty. The products
mentioned above like Coca cola and Fanta have a huge fan
following. People will prefer these soft drinks over others.
Because of the good taste of Coca cola, finding substitutes
becomes difficult for the customer.

Distribution network: Coca cola has the largest distribution


network because of the demand in the market for its products.
On the other hand, due to this successful distribution network,
Coca cola has been able to command such a high market
presence.

12.2 Weaknesses in the SWOT of coca cola

Competition with Pepsi: Pepsi is a thorn in the flesh for Coca


cola. Coca cola would have been the clear market leader had it
not been for Pepsi. The competition in these two brands is
immense and we dont think Pepsi will give up so easily.

Product Diversification is low: Where Pepsi has made a


smart move and diversified into the snacks segment with
products like Lays and Kurkure, Coca cola is missing from that
THE COCA COLA COMPANY

2
1

segment. The segment is also a good revenue driver for Pepsi


and had Coca cola been present in this segment, these products
would have been an additional revenue driver for the company.

Absence in health beverages: If you watch the news, you


would know that obesity is a major problem affecting people
nowadays. The business environment is changing and people
are taking measures to ensure that they are not obese.
Carbonated beverages are one of the major reasons for fat
intake and Coca cola is the largest manufacturer of Carbonated
beverages. The inference is that the consumption of beverages
in developed countries might go down as people will prefer a
healthy alternative.

Water management: Coca cola has faced flak in the past due
to its water management issues. Several groups have raised
lawsuits in the name of Coca cola because of their vast
consumption of water even in water scarce regions. At the same
time, people have also blamed Coca cola for mixing pesticides
in the water to clear contaminants. Thus water management
needs to be better for Coca cola.

12.3

Opportunities in the SWOT of coca cola


Diversification: Diversification in the health and food business
will improve the offerings of Coca cola to their customers. This
will also ensure that they get better revenue from existing
customers by cross selling their products. The supply chain
which is distributing their beverages can also distribute these
snacks thereby sharing the load of Supply chain costs.

Developing nations: Although developed nations have a high


presence of Coca cola, these countries are slowly moving
THE COCA COLA COMPANY

2
2

towards healthy beverages. However developing countries are


still being introduced to the delight of carbonated drinks and soft
drinks. Countries like India which are developing and have a hot
summer, find the consumption of cold drinks almost doubled
during summers. Thus the higher consumption in developing
business environment can be a good opportunity to capitalize for
Coca cola.

Packaged drinking water: With hygiene becoming a major


factor in the consumption of water, Packaged drinking water has
found its way into peoples mind. Coca cola has a presence in
the packed drinking water segment though Kinley. Although
Kinleys expansion is slow as of now, Kinley has a huge potential
of expansion. Thus Coca cola as a company should focus on
the expansion of Kinley as a brand and take it up to Bisleri s
level of trust.

Supply chain improvement: Supply chain can be a major cost


sink hole with the transportation costs always rising. Coca colas
complete business is based on transportation and distribution.
There will always be possible improvements in this area. Thus
Coca cola should keep strict watch on its Supply chain and keep
improving to bring the cost down.

Market the lesser selling products In the product portfolio of


Coca cola, there are several products which have not found
acceptance in the market. Coca Cola needs to concentrate on
the marketing of these products as well. It is understood that
Coca cola has made several expenses to launch these
products. Thus, the marketing and subsequent rise of sale of
these products will help revenue of Coca cola.

12.4 Threats in the SWOT of coca cola


THE COCA COLA COMPANY

2
3

Raw material sourcing: Water is the only threat to Coca cola.


The weakness of Coca cola was the suspected use of pesticides
or vast consumption of water. However, the threat here is that
water scarcity is on the rise. With the climate changing, and
regions of various countries facing scarcity of water, sooner or
later someone might raise fingers on beverage companies.
Thus, Water sourcing is an axe which can fall anytime on the
head of Coca cola. If water is limited or rationed, Coca cola can
experience a major downfall in their revenue and capacity of
distribution. The same can affect its arch rival Pepsi as well.

Indirect competitors: Coffee chains like Starbucks, Caf coffee


day, Costa coffee are on the rise. These chains offer a healthy
competition to Coca colas carbonated drinks. They might not be
a big competition for Coke, but they do give a dent to its
beverage market. Similarly, health drinks like Real and
Tropicana as well as energy drinks like Red bull and Gatorade
are stealing away the market share indirectly.

Why The Coca Cola Company is the most successful brand in the
world?
Coca Cola can say many things. But what is undeniable is that their product
is not only one of the most consumed worldwide, but is probably the most
recognizable and iconic brand on the planet, much as in recent years
companies like Apple, Nike or Facebook have uploaded many integers to
snatch that position.
Something has to do, of course, the famous formula they say keep secret.
But in any case, that only explains a small part of its popularity.

Many factors have contributed to the success of The Coca Cola Company
to be become a successful business; however, there are seven keys that
are important to mention, these are:
1. The secret formula.
2. A truly recognizable logo.
3. A bottle with history.
4. Quality at the point of sale.
5. Fixed price.
