... International Finance Coca Cola (CCE) has a huge footprint across the world. They are located in over 200 countries. With a footprint of that size it is vital for CCE to work with an investment bank. A discussion of the global banking process and how it has assisted CCE, how regulatory bodies affect financial decisions, and evaluate contemporary issues in international financial management. Global Investment Banking Investment banks are institutions that support companies, for instance, Coca Cola (CCE) in many different ways. First, they assist CCE in raising capital.

As businesses grew, corporations saw the many possibilities brought on by expanding operations. Companies began to expand by opening franchises in various cities, yet they knew there was more potential for success if they were to expand their operations even further.

Now, Cola-Cola is not only recognized, but it is one of the most consumed soft drinks both within the United States and in cities across the globe. Coca-Cola took a huge risk in expanding their operations. However, their success proves that multinational corporations need to choose the right market to venture into and choose marketing techniques that appeal to their consumers.
