Information technology plays a vital role for increasing collaboration
among supply
chain members. From the information point of view the effective supp
ly chain
management must provide the right amount of relevant information t
o the right

d) Competitive Review
BUYERS/CUSTOMERS
Coca-Cola has three major and large customers in the market, food str
eet 60,000 cerates
/year, McDonalds 40,000 cerates/year and Pakistan Railways who buy
50,000 cerates /year.
However, these three customers being large and powerful are in
an influential and
bargaining position they can demand discount or others faci
lities like (boards
sign/freezers/coolers etc.) and impose a threat to switch to their
closest rival and
competitor Pepsi.
SUBSTITUTES
Nestle products like juices, coffee, mineral water etc. and Shezan juices
are substitutes of
Coke for health conscious people and other fresh juices.

RIVALS/COMPETITORS
DIRECT COMPETITORS
The direct competitor of Coca-Cola is Pepsi and that of CCBPL is PCI (Pepsi
cola international)
there is always ongoing tuff competition between these two arch rivals
with Pepsi leading
with 54% market share and Coke gradually growing and catching up 36
% market share in
Pakistan. However on global level the situation is reverse. Both companie
s often engage in
price cut wars, prize scheme wars and sponsorship wars to win over each
other customers.
INDIRECT COMPETITORS
These include Nestle and Shezan juices that do not pose a threat to
Coke as yet but
has the potential to do so as it is exploiting the natural aspect and h
ealth issues more

NEW ENTRANTS
Coca-Cola is not afraid of competing .it doesnt fear losing its share
to Mecca- Cola or
other new entrants. The company management believes that new e
ntrants provoke
healthy competition, which will provide Coke with a challenge to hol
d on to its loyal
customers. Besides it will take a lot of effort on the part of new entr
ants like MeccaCola, Pak-cola to fully launch its product in Pakistan and capture
or even motivate
people to switch on to their new product from Coke.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
BRAND NAME, SYMBOL, BOTTLE SHAPE.
Brand name, symbol and bottle shape are distinctive features of Coca
-Cola which give
it an edge over its competitors. (Even without name people can easil
y identify Cokes,
fantas, and sprites bottle from crowd.) They cannot be copied or imi
tated by others.
