...BUSM 3194 – Organizational Theory Assessment Task 1: Individual Assignment Completed by: Cheryl Tan Hui Ting S3449942 Word Count: 1836 Organizations are dependent on the environment for their survival. The organizational environment has been defined as all the factors that exist out of the organization that has the potential to affect parts, if not all, of the organization. The effects of their relationship can cause an organization to dictate the structure of their processes and functions in a particular manner that can ensure productivity, effectiveness and maximize gains. In this essay, we will focus on two paradigms that can help shed light in understanding how Coca Cola relate to its environment. The first paradigm that will be explored is the Modernist Perspective. The modernist approach embraces objective ontology and positive epistemology, where theorists believe organizations exist even if there is no knowledge of it. They seek out the truth through tests, assessments and statistical methods to fulfill the purpose of being effective, more productive and to gain power, control and structure within the organization (Hatch & Cunliffe 2013). Modernist theorists define the environment as an objective entity living outside the organization’s boundary. Stakeholders, who have a role to play in the survival of the organization where they provide materials, resources, capital, equipment and regulate law, are part of the environment. These stakeholders...

Abstract This paper investigates how much and in which ways Coca Cola Enterprises uses CSR. The importance of CSR has grown over the last couple of years, and with the major brand Coca Cola has, it is of great importance to Coca Cola Enterprises. With Porter’s Five Forces I have analyzed the competition on the market, and which advantages it gives Coca Cola Enterprises when they use CSR. I have also used Porter’s generic strategies and through analysis I figured out which strategy Coca Cola Enterprises use. Coca Cola Enterprises uses the strategy called differentiation. This strategy is making customers prefer your product, and giving it a special value to the customers. CSR is about taking responsibility, and Coca Cola Enterprises does that...

...TERESA M. AMABILE ELIZABETH A. SCHATZEL The Lumen and Absorb Teams at Crutchfield Chemical Engineering Realizing that his next appointment would be starting momentarily, Paul Burke hurriedly attempted to tidy up his somewhat chaotic desk. The meeting was going to include discussion of some troubling data he had recently received, and he wanted space for spreading out and making notations on the charts. It was April 2003, and Burke was in his sixth year as director of the Polymers Department in the Corporate Technology Development (CTD) division of Crutchfield Chemical Engineering (CCE), a large, international chemicals and fibers manufacturer. CCE was in the last stages of a companywide downsizing that had resulted in an 18% reduction in force over the past six months. At 52, Burke had seen a number of prior downsizings and other organizational upheavals in his years at CCE and other firms in the industry. He was well aware that, following such changes, employee morale and performance often suffered initially but soon rebounded. However, a recent Human Resources (HR) survey and his own observations had led him to become particularly concerned about drastic differences among his five research and development (R&D) teams in both motivation levels and performance. Wishing to reverse what seemed to be a dangerous trend, he had engaged organizational psychologist Joanna McKinty, an external consultant, to study his department and report back on what might be accounting...

...recognizable brand in the United States since it’s creation in the late 1800s. Rapidly expanding in the international market, Coca-Cola has proven to their competitors they are innovative, forward-thinking, and here to stay. After the untimely death of CEO, Roberto Goizueta, Coca-Cola has experienced various ethical dilemmas. These ethical dilemmas have had a direct impact on Coca-Cola’s business relations, stakeholders, corporate culture, and financial advancements. By thoroughly examining ethical issues of the past, resolving legal grievances, and consulting third party organizations Coca-Cola is striving to regain the trust of consumers and business partners worldwide. Background Stakeholders are various parties who are directly or indirectly affected by the decisions and/or actions of a company. Throughout Coca-Cola’s history their business endeavors have had both positive and negative impacts on members of society. The primary stakeholders such as; employees, customers, investors, government agencies, community organizations, and shareholders are essential for a business to survive. However, the direct impact a company may experience from the influence of secondary stakeholders such as; media, trade organizations, and special-interest groups may also contribute to a company’s downfall. The constant changes in top level management from 1999 to 2004 left Coca-Cola in a vulnerable state. The inconsistencies in leadership directly impacted primary stakeholders. In 2004...

...to his advantage in marketing his product. The Coca-Cola Company grew tremendously under Candler’s 26 years of leadership. The company produces concentrate Syrup, which is then sold to licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North America and Western Europe. In 1901, two young lawyers bought the bottling rights from Candler for $1. This incident had a huge impact on the company, three years after the bottling company was established, The Coca-Cola Company had sold their one millionth gallon of syrup.

...market (eg. from lower sales). The sustainability of Coke’s earnings are also helped by more efficient tax structure seen from lower effective tax rate compared to Pepsi. Its Selling General Administration expenses are also within the industry norm (compared to Pepsi). Coke’s has room to further improve its efficiency by improving its balance sheet structure. This includes a more efficient use working capital (eg. reducing receivables and inventory days), using higher leverage to attain higher return on equity and optimizing/sweating the assets more to generate higher asset turnover. Coke’s acquisition is substantially cashless. It exchanged $3.4bn of equity investment it had in CCE and assumed $9.5bn in debt and obligations to control CCE’s North American bottling operations. This will impact Coke’s financials in a few ways: i) With the acquisition, there could possibly be synergies and cost reduction which would benefit Coke’s bottom line. The resultant Coke’s earnings could improve with the consolidation of North American bottling earnings. This will then improve EPS....

...the following ratios for each company for the 2009 fiscal year with the goal of comparing their relative valuations and assessing the sustainability of their current levels of profitability. The above table is prior to the acquisition. Pepsi's ROE of 35% is higher than Coke's ROE of 28%. The number of shares outstanding for coke is higher than pepsi. The asset turnover for Pepsi is roughly 1.6 times that of Coke. The asset turnover of Coke is lower than pepsi resulting in a lower ROE. Coke has to increase their sales or sell assets. The impact of this is reflecting in the higher ROE. The impact of this also is reflecting in the higher ROE. The operating costs are also high in the case of Coke. In regard to the valuations of Coke and Pepsi, Pepsi is undervalued as compared to Coke as the P/E ratio is 15.6; if we consider Coke P/E ratio of 18.4 the expected market price of Pepsi should be ~$70. The acquisition of CCE requires Coke to assume more debt resulting in higher leverage for Coke and higher operating expenses from a bottling company will result in a lower EPS. It will increase interest expense and affect the ROE adversely. Estimating the rate of interest using the interest expense paid in 2009's for the long term debt on the books, the ROE is expected to reduce to 25%. The acquisition of the bottling company will require that Coke shows the consolidated figures of the bottling company in its financials. The assets of Coke will increase however, there...
