 History
 Coca-Colawas invented in May 1886
by Dr. John S. Pemberton in Atlanta,
Georgia.

 Thename 'Coca-Cola' was suggested

by Dr. Pemberton's bookkeeper,
Frank Robinson. He kept the name
Coca-Cola in the flowing script that is
famous today.
 In 1891, Atlanta entrepreneur Asa G.
Candler had acquired complete ownership of
the Coca-Cola business, whose marketing
tactics led Coke to its dominance of the
world soft drink market throughout the
20th century. Within four years, his
merchandising flair helped expand
consumption of Coca-Cola to every state and
territory.
 Under Robert W. Woodruff six decades of
leadership , The Coca-Cola Company took
the business to unrivaled heights of
commercial success, making Coca-Cola an
institution the world over.
 The trademark "Coca-Cola" was registered
with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in
1893, followed by "Coke" in 1945. The unique
contour bottle, familiar to consumers
everywhere, was granted registration as a
trademark by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office in 1977, an honor awarded very few
packages.

 Coca-Cola System -
 The Coca-ColaProduction
formula is The Coca-Cola Company's
secret recipe for Coca-Cola. As a publicity
marketing strategy started by David W. Woodruff,
the company presents the formula as a closely held
trade secret known only to a few employees.

 The actual production and distribution of Coca-Cola

follows a franchising model. The Coca-Cola Company
only produces a syrup concentrate, which it sells to
various bottlers throughout the world who hold
Coca-Cola franchises for one or more geographical
areas. The bottlers produce the final drink by
mixing the syrup with filtered water and sugar (or
artificial sweeteners)and then carbonate it before
filling it into cans and bottles, which the bottlers
then sell and distribute to retail stores, vending
machines, restaurants and food service distributors
 The Coca-Cola Company and bottling partners are
not one and the same from a legal or managerial
perspective. The Company's business is focused on
creating and marketing brands and trademarks, while
Coca-Cola bottling companies produce and package the
finished beverage products and then sell and distribute
them to retail and wholesale customers.

These bottling partners range from international and

publicly traded businesses to small, family-owned
operations. Their governance and management structures
are separate from those of The Coca-Cola Company.
 The company’s bottling relationships can be
divided into three types:

 Bottlers in which coca cola company have invested and

have a non-controlling ownership interest

 Independently owned bottlers in which the company

have no ownership interest

 Bottlers in which the company have invested and have

a controlling ownership interest
The Coca-Cola Company owns minority shares in some of its
largest franchisees, like Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola
Amatil, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC) and
Coca-Cola FEMSA, but fully independent bottlers produce
almost half of the volume sold in the world. Since
independent bottlers add sugar and sweeteners, the
sweetness of the drink differs in various parts of the
world, to cater for local tastes.
 Suppliers
Suppliers include those business partners who
supply system with materials, including
ingredients, packaging and machinery as well as
goods and services. At a minimum, all authorized
and direct suppliers must comply with all
applicable laws and regulations, including those
concerning child labor, forced labor, abuse of
labor, freedom of association and collective
bargaining, discrimination, wages and benefits,
working hours and overtime, health and safety,
and environmental practices.
 Customers
Customers include large, international
chains of retailers and restaurants, as well
as small, independent businesses. Some of
our customers are major corporations as
globally familiar as the name Coca-Cola;
others are the corner market or the local
pushcart vendor.
Departments of Coca Cola
Every organization is made up of different
departments, each of these departments help
Coca Cola achieve their objectives. As Coca Cola is
a large multinational company, the amounts of
departments are huge. Each country has their own
Head Office and departments. Coca Cola is
geographically split into five geographic operating
segments, also known as strategic business units
(SBU's). The five SBU's are North America,
Africa, Asia, Europe, Eurasia and Middle East and
finally Latin America. If all these departments
perform in the correct way then that will continue
the success of Coca Cola.
 Coke In India

 Rural marketing
 strategy
CCI's rural marketing strategy was based on three A's -
Availability, Affordability and Acceptability.

 The company opted for a hub and spoke distribution system to

market in rural areas.( stock was transported from the bottling
plants to hubs and then from hubs, the stock was transported
to spokes which were situated in small towns.)

 Large trucks for transporting stock from bottling plants to

hubs and medium commercial vehicles transported the stock
from the hubs to spokes.stock from spokes to village retailers
the company utilized auto rickshaws and cycles.

increase its presence in rural areas from a coverage of 81,383
villages in 2001 to 1,58,342 villages in August 2003

 Suggestion To Stay ahead Of
Competition
    The three main ways are through innovation,
relations or reputation.  
 First of all innovation can be used. This may
certainly give coca cola competitive advantage
because it introduces a new product, which
many people will want to try
 People will like to purchase the commodity
even though price is high because no
substitutes are available. It may also give coca
cola brand loyalty which means customers will
stay loyal to them no matter what happens. 
 Many of coca cola’s plastic bottles are
recycled and as a result less resources are
lost and costs decrease. This makes profits
increase.

 It attracts a new market segment

 This will mean they will have a higher revenue

increasing long term profitability.
  Another factor is marketing. This is a very
important factor for coca cola. In order for the
company to maintain its strong market position,
Coca Cola needs to continuously strengthen its
brand to maintain brand loyalty and positive
responses and differentiate itself
from its competitors
  If coca cola used strong marketing it may raise
barriers to entry, thus decreasing the threat of
new entrants to the industry. 
 Coca Cola's brand represents quality, taste and
excitement to the market, qualities that remain
unmatched by the company's competitors, thus
severely reducing any threat of being
substituted.
 The message that is conveyed through Coco
Cola's advertisements implies that no matter
what personality or what ever kind of
lifestyle someone has drinking cola boosts
their confidence as well as allowing them to
get pleasure from every day activities that
are considered as being dull. 

  This gives a bright, bubbly, lot of energy,

loving and not to mention lively atmosphere.
The white meaning a loyal, pure and
trustworthy company
