    The insight our research will provide for Coca Cola can be used to identify declining sales and opportunities to stay relevant in the beverage market. Although a qualitative approach would be beneficial and at a very low cost it would not be conclusive in order to make a long term strategic plan for the company. The data could be used for determining what types of beverages do college students prefer during morning verses evening classes. While this information would be quite useful it would not be enough data to determine a new global strategy. Since Cola is a worldwide company the use of quantitative research…

All companies in the industry, especially those thinking about entering, have to think about Porter’s 5-Forces model and the pressures it outlines; rivalry among establish firms, risk of entry by potential competitors, substitute products, suppliers, and buyers.…

    The competition within the $74 billion carbonated soft drink (CSD) industry has been remarkable ever since Coca-Cola was formulated in 1886, and further intensified when Pepsi was introduced in 1893. Ever since then, the CSD industry has been dominated by these two companies, with Coke taking the lead in the early stage, followed by Pepsi doubled its market share between 1950 and 1970 by offering its concentrate at a lower price than its competitor. The CSD industry has been profitable historically due to numerous reasons. Firstly, in the world’s largest market for CSD products, consumption had been growing at a steady rate of 3% annually from 1970 to 2000 in the U.S., marking a high growth stage in the industry life cycle (Appendix B). This allowed both Coke and Pepsi (C&P) to achieve annual sales growth of around 10%, while competing head-to-head against each other and other smaller CSD producers. Competition between C&P reinforced their brand image, as the increase in marketing efforts could be transferred into profit and sales growth when the overall demand was increasing in a growing industry. However, the increasing industry volume was largely obtained by C&P, leaving other smaller firms vulnerable with stagnated growth opportunity. Secondly, according to Porter’s Five Forces analysis in Appendix A, high barrier for new entrants, low bargaining power of suppliers of both concentrate producers and bottlers, moderate buyer’s bargaining power and low degree of threats of substitutes prior to 2000, have been favorable to the high profitability and growth of the CSD industry. In terms of concentrate producers, the manufacture process involves little fixed costs and capital investments. This ensures high level of gross margin for them and frees up funds for marketing related expenditures. As the industry became more consolidated, large firms such as C&P gained pricing power over bottlers through master price contracts. For bottlers, even though heavy capital…

    When it comes to soft drinks there are two top soft drink brands that come to mind, Coke and Pepsi. These two brands were invented in the 1800s and produced tasteful drinks that could be acquired at the nearest drinking fountain. The first drink produced by both companies, Coca-Cola by Coke and Pepsi-Cola by Pepsi, fought neck and neck from their early existence. Coke and Pepsi being competitors of each other from that day on went on to produce numerous of drinks that mirrored each other in some way over the next 100 years. In this case study that I extensively read I became more familiarized with both brands and more knowledgeable of their backgrounds and competiveness amongst each other. The primary focus is how the brands were conducting business in the 1990s. The following two questions have been posed and I will answer them with supporting information from the reading itself:…

    1. If we analyze the situation using Porter’s five forces it is easy to see why the industry was so profitable. The substitutes as juices and water didn’t affect the profits of the soft drinks industry. The taste of the soft drinks is what is the most important for the consumers and it is unique. Coke and Pepsi’s powerful brands are inimitable, so not really many substitutes were on the market.…

    There are three major players which are all very important in the production and distribution of carbonated soft drinks. They are concentrate producers, bottlers, and retail outlets. There are over 40 concentrate producers yet there are just three that dominate this industry. They are: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Dr Pepper/Seven Up. The bottlers convert the basic flavor in carbonated soft drinks then package the drink in bottles or cans and in turn sell specific brands of the concentrate producers. Franchised bottlers’ package and distribute in a defined area and are only allowed to represent non-competitive brands. Retail channels include supermarkets, convenience stores, vending machines, fountain services, and small retail outlets. Supermarkets will account for about 40% of sales (Kerin, 2007).…

    For every meal, snacks, parties, gatherings with friends or co-workers, or even just sitting back watching television, there is always that incessant presence of a can or a glass of one’s favorite carbonated drink. For most people, especially for adolescence, these sugary carbonated drinks liven up the quality of the food or even the company, or provide that quenching ‘kick’ for the thirsty, something that water sometimes cannot do. Unfortunately a liter of soda can contain 700 calories (US Department of Agriculture 2012), and frequent intake could pose serious health problems such as obesity or diabetes. Studies show that a daily intake of a 12-oz soda containing 250 calories can contribute to 15 lbs weight increase in a year (Apovian 2004).…
