After reading this article, I found Apple’s making the iPhone strategy to be clever and fierce; namely, how the iPhone changed the relationship between the carriers and the handset Manufacturers and now we all have better service, more features, and lower prices using our smart devices. Jobs knew the carriers were the dictators of how the phones were made and how they would work, but Jobs was fierce and kept on pushing and though he announced he wasn’t working on a Apple phone, he really was working on entry to the mobile phone industry because the iPod business was more vulnerable than ever due to WiFi phones coming out soon, and due to slashed storage prices and due to new entrants into making music stores and like mp3 devices. Therefore, long term revenue from the iPod business was not seen as profitable. Therefore, the timing is right for Jobs to rush his people on such a new product because Jobs idea is going to put the phone, music, internet, on one device. After several failures with the prototype just...

...would use to ensure that I offer my buyers a great continuing relationship would be the focal point on price. Today’s economy with so many products and services that cost a fortune it is hard to even evaluate a distinct price. Offering retailers that retail Coca Cola a competitive price that ensures they will make profit while the company does as well will get a more financial sound base for selling Coca Cola. Encouraging a competitive retail wholesale to stores and restaurants will offer more companies and places to offer the Coca Cola brand rather than Pepsi if they only own a certain brand. Meeting and going over a company’s expectations and offering valuable discounts brings more buyers and better relationships from seller to buyer in the long run. The economy regulates prices and the fact that someone can pinpoint how much something is and relatively cheap brings up moral from buyers. Offering a company cheap rates and alternative promotions like a free pallet of Coca Cola, after so many are bought and shipped to the store can be a price focus and which would also stimulate Interdependent relationship. With the right price and price focus the Coca Cola Company can prove to their retail buyers that they can competitively price and offer a low rate for Coca Cola in turn building a level in the marketing continuum with their buyers. The Price focus can also provide the Coca Cola customer with a better view on their product. Low prices and sales on Coca Cola drinks is the first...

...behaviour (Philip Kotler). India has always been known for its cultural diversity. With a variety of cultures in India, Coca Cola faced a challenge in how to target across the cultural lines. Initially, they made the mistake of focusing on the American way of life but they realized their mistake quickly and started researching the Indian market in detail. They found that the 3A’s of availability, affordability and acceptability needed to be employed. Also, affordability was the biggest driver for desirability. Culture: Coca Cola discovered that the values of kinship and togetherness were universal across all cultures in India. So they decided to market coke as a drink for family get-togethers and parties. To achieve this, Coca Cola came up with a marketing campaign that showed Aishwarya Rai solving a feud between her parents with a Coke singing “Pyar me kabhi kabhi aisa ho jata hai, saath me thanda ho settle ho jata hai…”. Recently, Coca Cola launched “Saath Khao Khushiyan Badhao” campaign which encouraged the younger teenage group to eat with the family. These advertisements showed Coca Cola as a symbol of bringing families together. Subcultures: Coca Cola leveraged the classic North Indian custom of asking guests “Thanda Ya...

...Introduction Coca Cola markets nearly 2,400 beverages products in over 200 geographic locations. As a result development of a superior value system is imperative to their operations. Throughout this paper we will analyze their value system by using Michael Porter’s value chain analysis model. In an attempt to paint a current picture of the non-alcoholic beverage industry we will assess the market activity by using mergers, acquisitions and IPO’S as our benchmarks to determine if the market is growing or contracting. Value Chain Analysis A value chain is a model used to disaggregate a firm into its strategically relevant value generating activities, in order to evaluate each activity's contribution to the firm's performance (Terms V 2006). Through the analysis of this model we can gain insight as to how a firm creates their competitive advantage and shareholder value. The value chain of the nonalcoholic beverage industry contains five main activities. These include inbound logistics (suppliers), operations, outbound logistics (buyers/ customers), marketing and sales, and service. Inbound Logistics (Suppliers) Some of Coca Cola’s most notable suppliers include Spherion, Jones Lang LaSalle, IBM, Ogilvy and Mather, IMI Cornelius, and Prudential. These companies provide Coca Cola with materials such as ingredients, packaging and machinery. In order to ensure that these materials are in satisfactory condition, Coca-cola has put certain standards in place which these...

...How Businesses Are Organised and Their Purposes Division of work Work is divided up in the Coca Cola business because this makes it much easier for employees so that they can get the job done. This takes out conflicts between individuals opinions towards the work they are working on. This will mean that no one can say anything about each other’s work and they can do the work in piece without any contribution from others unless it is wrong that needs to be improved told by the manager. Lines of control This means that if Coca Cola Company knows what they are doing and they can control the activities being done. The heads of Coca Cola set task to the senior managers then they do the same thing setting the task to the employees. The task is divided up in the different sector such as finance would do the finance task and marketing will do marketing task. This way everything can be controlled easier rather than one person doing it all which is impossible to do every sectors job in a large company like Coca Cola. Communication In Coca Cola the communication are set from the top to the bottom. The directors of Coca Cola will tell the managers what task have to be done then they will tell the employees what has to be done too, this can sometimes go wrong as the message is getting passed by a lot of people in the business. Sometime the communication is passed from bottom to top because if something goes wrong in the factory of Coca Cola the employees will have to inform their...
