The next stage is a stage of providing the actual change actions. Here, the company has chosen a new CEO and President, Douglas Daft, who was an opposite of Ivestor. Daft was a delegator, who wanted to turn Coca-Cola to a most desired company by employees in the world. He also saw a company as a head of the class, when speaking about diversity of workforce and business. Daft was fast in his actions. He has put Ware on the position of Vice-President for Global Public Affairs, as he was concerned about diversity issues in the company as well. They applied Ware’s suggestions about supporting the diversity from the top-executives and tying compensation increases to the achievement of diversity goals. On this stage, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia approved the Settlement Agreement, which was used to non-hourly U.S.-based workers of the company, excluding its bottlers and called for pay-back to employees, future pay equity and equal employment opportunity. Task Force was created to provide an independent supervision of company’s compliance and was reporting on implementation of these programs. On this stage, Coca-Cola learned a lot about its past mistakes and provided dozens of changes to its policies and procedures.

“Citizen Coke: The Making of Coca-Cola Capitalism” by Bartow J. Elmore tells a story of how Coca- Cola have changed its industry as well as the globe by utilizing natural resources. To start on his journey about Coca-Cola, Elmore questions the success of the company behind selling Coke, a low-priced mixture of “sugar, water, and caffeine, packed in glass, plastic, or aluminum” (Elmore 8). Elmore discovers that even though advertising plays an essential key in selling products, Coca-Cola is mostly profitable from outsourcing the supply (Elmore 9). Besides explaining his research on the Coca-Cola capitalism, Elmore also emphasizes on the ecological evidences that support it, which make this book an environmental history of Coca-Cola capitalism (Elmore 14).

Coca–Cola a leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drink products. Coca–Cola was not always the sugary syrup soft drink most people know today. As a matter of fact, before 1886 Coca-Cola was made with alcohol and cocaine. Concocted by Dr. John Pemberton a pharmacist in Atlanta Georgia Coca-Cola was originally named Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. Dr. Pemberton marketed the drink as a cure all for mental and physical disorders and was sold from a soda fountain at his local drug store. A step ahead of prohibition, Dr. Pemberton replace the wine in his formula with a sugary syrup. The cocaine portion of Coca-Cola was removed before 1914 when cocaine was deemed illegal in the United States of America. Coca-Cola as we know today still contains coca but the narcotic portion of cocaine, it is removed. Today, Coca-Cola has expanded to over 200+ countries. From concerts to sport venues to local restaurants you are more than likely to come across a Coca-Cola product, Coca-Cola has had such an impact on society that it is given credit for how we portray Santa Clause today. Other credits should also be given to Coca-Cola like an increase in diabetes and other diseases.

Coca Cola was born in the laboratory of Dr. John Pemberton in May 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia. Coca-Cola's own name was made by Frank Robinson. And marketed for the first time with an ad of banners with the inscription of oil paints labeled "drink Coca Cola". Although it was the title of "brand of the century", Frank Robison had experienced a loss in sales. Coca Cola formula then bought by Asa Chandler in 1892 that heavily promoting senhingga experiencing huge profits. Coca cola increasingly global sales thanks to independent bottling firms with licenses to other countries and this is maintained until now.

The book Citizen Coke: The Making of Coca-Cola Capitalism by Bartow J. Elmore is about the environmental history of Coca-Cola. Elmore is a historian who grew up in the Atlanta area, where the Coca-Cola Company was formed and has a presence to this day. The book discusses how the Coca-Cola Company came into existence and how it acquired resources to manufacture the best-selling product, Coke. After doing a little bit of background on the three book options offered for review, I chose this book because I was most interested in how the company came into existence and how the products were manufactured. What I discovered was that the Coca-Cola Company is a consumer, not a producer. I will go on in this review and discuss the reasons why it is a consumer and not a producer.

Recently, the Coca-Cola Company laid out its growth plan in its 2020 vision, and it plans to double its system revenue, increase its total servings to three billion per day, and raise its operation margins (Banks, 2016). The company has several reasons relating to its economies of scale and cost reductions that would make it realize its strategy. The Coca-Cola Company owns one of the world 's strongest nonalcoholic beverage brands, and its brand qualifies as a billion-dollar brand in nineteen countries across the world (Foster, 2014). Each of the Coca-Cola’s brands generated about fivehundred million to one billion dollars annually in revenue (Collier, 2014). Currently, the company holds the leadership position in the world 's soda industry with a market share of 41 percent (Banks, 2016). Besides, Coca-Cola enjoys a stable global distribution system in two-hundred countries and owns more vehicles than both FedEx and UPS combined (Elmore, 2016). The company, therefore, has a huge moat with significant economies of scale that none of its competitors can beat or copy.

cultural factors can influence the way a product is viewed by the consumer. If the government were to release a report regarding one of PepsiCo’s products then the company might see a decline in sales. Environmental factors include issues regarding the environment and what the company does to protect it. PepsiCo believes that water is a basic human right and should be readily available to any consumer. Overall PepsiCo does a great job in assessing all of the general environment factors in order to sustain a positive view in the consumer’s eyes.

Every year, each brand is trying to come up with a new idea to advertise their products in commercials. My favorite one is from Pepsi, the soda company. I especially loved the ones in 1984 and 2004. Similarities between these two ads are the celebrity endorsement strategy and in each video, they included a song with a meaning that can affects people point of view.

One advertisement and many would say their most famous advertisement was in 1993 during the Super Bowl. just before the kickoff of Super Bowl XXVII on NBC, McDonald's aired "The Showdown" with Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, a minute and a half ad in which Jordan shows up at a gym with a Big Mac sandwich and fries and is challenged by Bird to a game of H*O*R*S*E, with the winner getting the meal.

The Coca-Cola Company is the world’s leading beverage company, with markets in over 200 countries and over 1,100 brands under their portfolio. The company was founded in 1886 and is currently headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This paper seeks to explain the impact of globalization on the standardization versus adaptation decision using examples from the Coca-Cola Company’s performance and strategies since their inception as a company.

One Company: When you join the Company, you’ll enjoy a place where your ideas are free to find their way, support is close at hand, and pride inspires us to grow. Every day Coco-Cola is developing meaningful and accelerated learning

Globalization – the intensification of human interaction (Guest, 18), continues to remain a key facet towards growing economies, improving international relations and influencing new opportunities. Although global expansion is seemingly brand-new within contemporary society, such interaction is not a recent practice, but rather has been performed and cultivated for centuries past. To analyze the power of globalization, through a narrow lens, one could look at the consummation/production of Coca-Cola and a chocolate bar. By interpreting a single bottle of ‘Coke’, much can be revealed about its impact, both negative and positive, on the consumer and the environment of the country where it is produced; Plachimada. Furthermore, through that same context, looking at, a single chocolate bar can further lay bare the dominance and crisp realized influence that a small, subjectively delicious, object has on the issue of stratification, and its relation to power, on the rest of the world; that being, countries where these products are forcefully composed in.

The multinational company that I have chosen is Coca Cola Company since it is a very popular brand and has been serving its customers for more then 10 decades and even after so many years its popularity seems to be increasing day by day which itself speaks about the company's remarkable performance. The Coca Cola Company is an American multinational corporation and manufacturer, retailer and marketer of the nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups (Wright, 1999). It came into existence in 1886 and was invented in Columbus, Georgia by John Stith Pemberton. The current statistics of the company shows that it is currently operating in over 200 countries offering its customers over 500 brands with each day serving of more then 1.7 billion (Charles W. L. Hill, Essentials of Strategic Management, 2012). .Further more the Coca Cola Company is alone responsible for the 78% of the total gallon sales of all the beverages sold worldwide. The company is listed in New York Sock Exchange and is very popular in most of the countries especially United States of America, which alone consumes 47% of the total gallons, sold worldwide (Zurkuhlen & Meeker, 1987). The company headquarter is located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America and its current chief executive and chairman is Muhtar Kent (Charles W. L. Hill, Strategic Management Theory: An Integrated Approach, 2012).
