    Coca-Cola uses various segmentation strategies to include and categorize all of its consumers into their beverage market. Coca-Cola has virtually a selecting for everyone on the planet, other than those who naturally prefer Pepsi over Coke. Their “Dieters Segment” appeals to those who are concerned about their weight. Which started with the original Coke and spread to the various versions they offered in late years. Then they created Diet Coke Plus which had added vitamins, which was a customer valued decision. Next there is the “”Real Men” Segment” Which includes Coke Zero, this drink allowed men to purchase low calorie drinks without relating the idea it was very similar to a Diet Coke; “because Diet Coke is for women”. The “Diy Segment” is another segment Coca-Cola has created to divide a extensive target market into subcategories of customers.

    Coke Case Study

    I don't think that Coke can stay up with changing tastes for non-cola drinks. I believe that Goizueta did have the right idea to develop new products, but Coke fell behind after some embarrassing problems within the company, such as the 1999 contamination scare, their slowing unit growth, ugly class action racial discrimination suit (which result in a $195.2 million settlement with 2000 employees), and an aborted takeover offer for Quaker Oats and its Gatorade Sports drink brand. Losing out to PepsiCo in the Gatorade battle left the company with a weakened strategy of beefing up its "fizless" soft drink products. Daft plans to launch coke's first U.S. coffee brand, Planet Java, but the problem now is that they have not dominated this market at all yet. The competition (Pepsi and Starbucks) are well established companies with very well recognized brand names. I think at this point, the most he can expect is for Coke to take half of the market share. For example, Sony came out with the first ‘walkman' portable tape player. If apple had come out with a walkman as well they could have expected to take over half the market at most. By creating the ipod, a completely original and different idea, they were able to take over the entire market. The difference here is that people personalize food and drink. It is hard to introduce new products because people become accustomed to what they like. When they consistently enjoy a certain product, there is a certain comfort level they have to that food or drink, and therefore people usually reject new products.…

    In 2006, The Coca-Cola Company adopted a new compensation plan for its Board of Directors. Its main point is that, the members of the Board get payed if the Company meets the performance goals it targeted. During a period of 3 years (mid-point of the Company´s performance strategy), yearnings per share must raise at a compound rate of 8% a year. The plan foresees a flat fee of $175.000 in stock each year, with no extra payments. When the performance goal is met, at the end of the stipulated period, the share units will be payable in cash at the market price. In case of non-compliance of the plan, the Directors would receive nothing. These measures don’t only imply a change in the payment system but have also implications in the motivation, attitudes and decisions the Board of Directors will take. Both this issues, and the Organizational Culture will be further developed.…

    When Pharmacist John Pemberton invented Coke in 1886, it was the original energy drink claiming to have restorative powers. The original ingredients of Coke also included a small amount of Cocaine, but this was eliminated from the ingredients in 1903. Coca-Cola is made of water, sugar, a few secret flavors and some bubbles. But behind the product itself is where marketing has played a key role in Coca-Cola’s domination of the market place. Coca-Cola promises more than a beverage, it promises good cheer and happy memories. In the early 1900’s it was exceptionally difficult to decipher between Coca-Cola and Coca-Nola - amongst other competitors. Eventually Coke set itself apart with a design challenge that led to a bottle design, created by Earl Dean in 1915, called the “hobble skirt.” This design would forever set Coca-Cola apart from it’s competitors. Robert Woodruff – head of Coca-Cola for nearly 60 years, starting in 1923 - was also credited with many brilliant ideas including: the six-pack, standardized cooler, and tieins to Olympic events. Woodruff also promised to bring Coke to the US troops during WWII for only a nickel. This promise lead to extreme loyalty from those 11 million Americans that returned home. With artworks done by Norman Rockwell and the association Coke made with Santa Clause, Coke once again, found ways to associate their brand with Americana and wonderful memories. Eventually Pepsi entered the scene with a happy little jingle and offered twice as much soda for the same amount of money. By 1983 Coke only held 24% of the market share. Pepsi was beating Coke in the market. In April of 1985 Coke changed the formula of their soft drink. This outraged consumers and was ultimately an epic failure - turned into a big win. When Coke brought back their original flavor the business boomed. By 1986 Coke was dominating the market. Some believe that Coke planned the entire campaign in order to draw attention back to…

The different types of water range from different brands of plain bottled water to flavored and vitamin waters. The variety of teas include green tea, different flavors of herbal teas including caffeinated, decaf, sweet instant and ready to drink teas. Sport drinks are to help replace fluids and electrolytes lost during physical activity. Soft drinks include carbonated non-alcoholic beverages, but are divided into regular, low–calorie, no-calorie, caffeinated and caffeine –free drinks. Juices and juice drinks are divided into 100% fruit juice, and other fruity drinks made with a small percentage of actual juice to no actual fruit juice.
