For example pepsi, considered as a very close substitute of coke is sold at the same price as coke. But, in case the price of pepsi falls to Rs 11 per bottle, the customers who are indifferent between the two will shift their demand from coke to pepsi. An Increase in the price of its substitutes( thumbs up, pepsi, limca, mirinda, sprite, mountain dew etc ) the demand for coke will rise and vice versa.
Advertisements and Promotions
The advertisements and promotional schemes undertaken by the Company also majorly affects the demand of the product.

In a monopolistically competitive industry, the goods sold, while not perfect substitutes, can be viewed as acceptable substitutes by most people. As a result, if Firm A raised the price of its good substantially, consumers would decrease the quantity demanded from Firm A and would move to other firms selling similar products. As a result, Firm A would sell few units at the new higher price. As the quantity a firm sells falls, so does its percentage of sales in the industry, also
When it comes to love stories in mythology, most people assume that the god Eros (also known as Cupid) and the goddess Aphrodite (also known as Venus) are behind the stories. However, most of the stories barely involve Eros and Aphrodite in their stories. There are more gods besides Eros and Aphrodite that help symbolize love by their actions in the stories of love. Even though Aphrodite and Eros are the main deities associated with love, several of the other Olympian gods are also agents of love.
When I arrange my assessments and other academic writing, I need to research more as I always write a draft then edit and proof. As Grellier & Goerke (2014) continuously mention in “Communication Toolkit 3Ed” the importance to the writing process is to begin with research and more research then reflect on my ideas before I begin to write. When I start structuring my writing I need to create a plan (Grellier & Goerke, 2014) referring to “Communication Toolkit 3Ed’ creating a list of ideas will help construct my ideas and then a second column to support my ideas. I will admit this is not a tool that I use and I understand the importance of creating lists and ideas. I will endeavour to make this change and use this tool when I am researching and
One big change that needs to be made is pesticide free water in the Coca-Cola products. Indians have a lot of trouble with making sure their food and water is contaminated, and things like this aren’t going to help Coca-Cola’s business because they aren’t going to want to risk their health. Indian’s need to feel safe and trustful of Coca-Cola that their products are safe for themselves. Coca-Cola made also need to use less Indian water in their products if that problem cannot be fixed. Whatever it takes for Indian’s to understand that Coke’s products are pesticide free is what Coca-Cola needs to do. The future of Coke in India is in the hands of

India and the United States have vastly different cultures. When doing business in foreign countries, great care must be taken to recognize the culture of the country in order to avoid problems, such as the ones Coca-Cola experienced in India. In addition, business practices and governmental policies are different between India and the U.S. Coca-Cola should have taken care to study and familiarize itself with the regulatory practices of India prior to doing business there. As most everyone knows, the recipe of Coca-Cola has long been held secret.

This is an obvious example of how political actions and policies can affect, and have affected, the market for soft drinks in India. Therefore, Coca-Cola’s relationship with the Indian government was tarnished, which made it harder for Coke to re-enter. Coca-Cola
