The Coca/Cola Com0a$!
>ounded in .::2, the Coca-Cola Company is the world(s leading manufacturer, vendor, and
distributor of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups% The company(s corporatehead)uarters is based in "tlanta, with local operations in over *++ countries around the world%
"lthough Coca-Cola was first created in the nited tates, it rapidly became popular wherever it
went% The first international bottling plants opened in .+2 in Canada, Cuba and Panama, soon
followed by many more% Today, Coca-Cola has a portfolio of more than 0,+++ beverages% Coca-
Cola has *,++ employees worldwide% $ore than D+ percent of our income comes from outside
the %%, but the real reason we are a truly global company is that our products meet the varied
taste preferences of consumers everywhere% =Coca Cola Company, *+.?
The company today in "tlanta is now absolutely limited to producing the concentrate, which is
licensed and sold to the partners of Coca-Cola, in the Coke language these partners are often
called Coca-Cola bottlers, these bottlers hold exclusive contracts with the company and are given
rights to produce and distribute in the specific countries and sometimes even in certain regions%
The product is developed by the concentrate which is highly secret and with fresh water and
sweeteners product is ready to reach the customers by certain channels of distribution% These
concentrates are sold for soda fountains to ma&or restaurants and food service providers across
the globe%
The Coca-Cola Company has eventually tried to introduce different type of Cokes over the years
which includes' Caffeine->ree Coca-Cola, Eiet Coke Caffeine->ree, Coca-Cola Cherry, Coca-
Cola Fero, Coca-Cola Ganilla, and special versions with lemon, lime or coffee% #n *+.0, Coke
products could be found in over *++ countries worldwide, with consumers downing more than
.%: billion company beverage servings each day%
Coca-Cola has always been under competitive edge globally, however there are some regions
where its market share is relatively low and PepsiCo have retained its huge market share% ince
the .::+(s both Coca-Cola and Pepsi have been under a cold war to get most sales across the
world and to build a distribution network that every land should be con)uered on this plant%

Coca Cola 'eera"e% Paki%ta$Limited.
Coca-Cola came to Pakistan in .0% #nitially it was a different structure, now it is an altogether
new structure% #n the start the company had franchise bottling system in Pakistan% "s a part of its
drive to enhance the )uality, availability, and image of Coca-Cola products, The Coca-Cola
Company established a new Company in Pakistan in .2, by the name of 6Coca-Cola
Beverages Pakistan Limited7 =CCBPL or Company?% CCBPL is a part of Coca-Cola JKecek

#n .0 Coca-Cola entered in Pakistan, after nine years of Pakistan(s inception to provide the
most popular beverage of that era that was Coca-Cola and also to fulfil their mission to refresh
the world and to create value and make difference and after 2+M years the Coca-Cola is ready to
complete its *+*+ vision% Iot only that Coca-Cola had introduced its new offerings in the face of
prite, >anta, $inute $aid,

is less than 02 which means that most of the population belong to youngers and therefore it(s
easy to target them %
Nowever its seen that all over Pakistan be it young or old seems to be a market for Coca-Cola
and all sort of carbonated soda drinks, &uices and due to concern of water purity even providing bottled water is increasing and nor the customers are gender specific%
Value:
>rom time to time Coca-Cola in Pakistan have carried out improvements and in order to create
shared value that is in the best interest of their valuable customers they abolished franchising
system and instead centrali/ed due to the )uality and availability concerns, not only that Coca-Cola plants across Pakistan are considered one of the most modern bottling plants that provide
)uality beverage, within the span of *++-*+. the foreign investments worth + $illion were
deployed in order to facilitate Coca-Cola system in Pakistan%
Coca-Cola believes in implementing new technologies time to time in order to enhance customer
experience as well as making sure that the product is available%
Future:
Coca-Cola Pakistan has always looked forward to enhance its product line and in due course
Coca-Cola might invest more in order to create plants and enhance availability and visibility of
products%
There are new flavors of $inute $aid in pipeline whereas new flavors of new introduced >anta
might also be introduced looking forward at the maturity of the market% Nowever the flavored
coke introduction might not be possible nor Coca-Cola might bring its snacks or energy drink
units due to low profit margins%
Business e are not in:
Coca-Cola is specifically a beverage company and 9 of the products internationally belong to
beverage divided intro sparkling, still and water category all comprises of no alcohol and the

Exter$al 'u%i$e%% 8actor%
!very company today depends upon two aspects its internal business environment and the other
aspect that is external business environment, the external business environment is usually most powerful constraint that impacts the business and industry at large and sometimes to entire
economy% The changes in the external business environment either produce threats or give
opportunities for the business to excel and Coca-Cola should be well aware of the happenings in
the external environment which could either make or break the business within Pakistan%
>luctuations in the economy, changing legislation and taxation rules, revolving foreign policies,
changes in customer demands, attitude, values and demographic pattern largely influence upon
the profitability of Coca-Colas market in the Pakistan%%%
Competition: The competition globally is divided into three parts in the carbonated soft drinks
industry leading the market is Coca-Cola following Pepsi and other companies like Er% Pepper,
however in Pakistan the completion is only limited two companies, competition is an external
business environment which cannot be avoided but can be controlled
!olitical: #f it can be stated that the political impact in the Pakistan is the biggest external
business factor that could influence a business is the political conditions of this country, Pakistan
suffers from massive turmoil(s in the politics which result in policies that could destroy a specific business% Ahereas specific city based threats for example
8/9/2019 Case Study Analysis of Brannigan Foods: Strategic Marketing Planning - HBR
19/47
Social an# Culture: Coca-Cola is very careful in the application of its promotional campaigns
and introduction of its products in Pakistan, since the social and cultural environment of Pakistan
is very different as compared to other countries and is very conservative and any reminiscent
advertisements usually face a lot of negative reactions on the part of the consumer and
sometimes results in boycott of Products and ignoring of the brand usually% ocial factors
comprise of consumer itself, its family and groups associated with it and its status% >amily
members definitely affect buying behavior in such a way that if number of children is more in a
family than the elders, then the children choice can matter a lot at the time of soft drink purchase%
Hn other hand, sometimes people prefer to go for the product that demonstrates their eminence in
society at large% That(s the reason it results in impact, company targets younger generation which
had found its place to sociali/e online on social network, therefore to understand patterns online
is easier as compared to reality% The cultural on the other hand also results in an impact, if we
take a look fifty years ago, Pakistan was not about soft-drinks and colas it was more about
homemade beverages such as tea, lassi, satoo, &uices, soup etc% But now it is becoming part of
our cultural no wedding in Pakistan goes without sharing a soft drink today and therefore it has
created and influence on culture and had get along well with cultural norms of Pakistan specially
in the urban areas%
!ersonal: Personal choice impact the buyer decision such as age of the byer, the customer life
cycle stage, personality, attitude, perception, occupation as well as norms% The biggest factor
usually in personal characteristics is the life cycle stages which explain that over the time line the
preference, taste and choice of an individual has been changing with a consistent rate% >or
example@ "t the starting stage the potential customer isn(t aware of a soft drink but will be when
reaches to a new stage of its life and there will be a stage where the consumption will end% #t is
also upon the way of thinking of an individual there are people who never drink these beverages
whereas for some it maybe because of their occupation which gives them purchasing power of
the product an individual with low salary would prefer a regular glass bottle of Coke over a
rupee can% ame goes with health concerns some would prefer a diet drink over a normal highly
carbonated drink
18 | P a " e
8/9/2019 Case Study Analysis of Brannigan Foods: Strategic Marketing Planning - HBR
20/47
!s$chological: every person(s buying behavior is further influenced by ma&or psychological
factors such as motivation, perception, and learning and self-benefits% $otivation is basically a
drive that(s sufficiently pressing a person to seek satisfaction of the need% ometimes a person
has no intention to buy a particular product but what happens is that the group of people around
him motivates him motivates% #f a person is highly satisfied with the taste of diet coke4, he may
share his experience with another person and as a result the latter person might get motivated by
his opinion and end up buying diet coke4 #n some cases, consumers have descriptive thoughts
and beliefs about something% #t may change with the passage of time because mostly all the self-
beliefs are secondary and not the core ones%
%ther: Hther factors like the overnment rules, regulations and technological advancements
have had no significant effect on the product and the company%

Com0etitor A$al!%i%
Customers@ Coca-Cola Bottlers Pakistan have got some of very large buyers throughout Pakistan
that order massive )uantity of cases one of them is $cEonalds Pakistan who have cola fountainsinstalled in every branch which re)uire $illions of unit cases annually &ust like there are
institutions such as Pakistan railways, whereas in the city of lights one of the most popular
restaurant B%B%; tonight exclusively sells Coca-Cola products like these are so many exclusive
institutions, modern trades like Nyper star, #mtia/, $etro etc% Eespite these big customers there
is always a threat to lose them to an ardent competitor like Pepsi which is consistently sniffing
for any sort of loopholes whereas there are other factors such as bargaining power resulted in
further discounted price and lower margins%
Substitutes: There might be no viable competitor other than Pepsi in the carbonated soda drink
industry' however there are some substitutes that take away good share of carbonated soda
drinks% Iestle is one big example of it who have &uices and nectars of two types@ >ruit-a-Gitals
and Ies->ruta, the former one is targeted for a premium market whereas Ies->ruta competes
with the range of &uices like he/an, >roto, lice etc% Hther substitutes also include flavored
milk, ice coffee 4tea and water as well%
Competitors@
Direct Competitors: Eefinitely the direct competition is from the market leader Pepsi in
Pakistan and which heavily en&oys 29 share between Coca-Cola and Pepsi in Pakistan, whereas
Coca-Cola is performing pretty well as compared to last two decades when their market share
was only .9 which has now risen up to 09% There is no local competitor that could become a
threat because over the years many Cola(s tried to get in the market but miserably failed% The
scenario in the global market is almost opposite% Both PC# and CCBPL are engaged in price and
scheme wars, whereas the turf war of sponsorship has fueled over the years%
20 | P a " e
8/9/2019 Case Study Analysis of Brannigan Foods: Strategic Marketing Planning - HBR
22/47
n#irect Competitors: There are many indirect competitors such as Iestle, he/an, >roto, and
$ilo etc% however they never have been a threat to the soda companies because of a relatively
different segment, however these companies have ability to pro&ect a serious threat% 5ecently the
raising health issues and concerns related to diabetes and obesity have resulted in people
boycotting the highly carbonated soda drinks with these &uices and dairy products%
Suppliers: Coca-Cola have authori/ed suppliers which work on contract based supply, this part
is divided into two parts one is raw materials that are used for making of beverage and other is
the concentrate that is imported from The Coca-Cola company based in "tlanta therefore there is
no significant threat posed by the suppliers% erious concern is shown toward their material by
their procurement department and expired batches are also pulled away from market directly by
CCBPL, there were some issues before CCBPL was incorporated and there was franchising
system but the )uality is way better as compared to their competitors%
'e (ntrants: Coca-Cola has never been afraid of new entrants in the market' the management
believes that entrants help in developing good competition% The competitors like $ecca-Cola and
"mrat Cola don(t pose such threats and these companies are like visitors that come and go, they
don(t hold threat to either Coca-Cola or Pepsi in Pakistan% Nowever new entrants in shape of
alternative products always pose a threat to cut some hefty share of CE(s%
>ollowing is the list of all direct and indirect competitors@

nno)ation in Communication
Coca Cola Pakistan has kept its communication strategy parallel to its global policy and ensuringall communication is aligned and connects with the consumers% !ven if it is not for the masses,
the campaigns are massive, engaging and exciting to be involved in% Coke ads and activations,
not only create product recognition and solidify brand personality, but also increase buyer utility%
They have a product impact on sales%
Sales Force (mpoerment
Coca Cola has managed to get a gaining share in the local market, due to its investment and
strategic focus on developing a strong and well e)uipped sales force% This speciali/ed task forceof Coca Cola does not only support inbound and outbound logistics, but serve as the backbone
for the company(s operations, understanding and executing the consumer(s insights and partners(
concerns%
*ualit$ Assurance
>rom ingredients, to packaging, to the operation technology, the paramount ob&ective in all
aspects remains the upholding of )uality Coca Cola promises as a legendary brand% The local
division of this multinational ensures that all legs of the value delivery process follow the
international standards and give the best, uncompromised product to the consumer% This
sustenance of )uality is reflected in all functions and creates an assurance within the consumers
that they are getting the best in the world%

8/9/2019 Case Study Analysis of Brannigan Foods: Strategic Marketing Planning - HBR
37/47
Ke! I%%ue%
>ollowing are the key issues that were derived while doing the analysis of Coca-Cola Pakistan%
Market Share: The vision of the Coca-Cola Pakistan suggest that they want to be the market
leader in Pakistan, however they are stuck at the market share of 09 whereas the market of
Pepsi is in Pakistan is around 29, which shows a huge gap between the two Corporates and it
can be said that the market share at this time is the biggest issue for Coca-Cola Beverages
Pakistan Limited in Pakistan which is growing at a slower rate, the company only had .+9market share in :+(s and in around 0 years company have only managed to rack it around 09
in the carbonated soda drink =sparkling market? as of today, there are many reasons that caused
the company to be stuck on this stage% This is also not fulfilling the global vision that is Gision
*+*+ which means that the goal won(t be reached if Pakistan Coca-Cola doesn(t reach this goal%
o this is the highest priority issue for the company currently we have thought be addressed
)uickly as possible%
Distribution: The another high priority and key issue that falls in the ambit of issues that needsto be addressed is the distribution system of the company, Coca-Cola Pakistan have had
consistently suffered distribution blows over the time and before its centrali/ation it was even
more pathetic The company isn(t doing well in terms of distribution of our drinks, the retail
outlets aren(t satisfied with the distributors either, we have struggled for an in-house distribution
in past we cannot currently shift the option and we need to work out on third-party distribution
system% lobally, mostly successful franchise of Coca-Cola currently have a bottling plant plus
in-house distribution system but not in Pakistan not the largest of the competitor PepsiCo does
that in Pakistan% The distribution system that is currently under the ambit hurt in two ways one
with the loss of sales and other with the loss of retail outlets, when some sort of issue occurs the
customer and the retailer is also affected from the distributors end, distributors tend to claim
Coca-Cola need to increase their production capacity in some plants as-well, the other issue it
faced was slow stockings to its retail outlets across Pakistan% $any retail outlets complained that,
36 | P a " e
8/9/2019 Case Study Analysis of Brannigan Foods: Strategic Marketing Planning - HBR
38/47
despite being exclusive outlets for Coca-Cola they were out of stock for days and despite
re)uisition the stock wasn(t filled and they had no option to call to Pepsi distributors to give
them stock, due to this many of the exclusive retail outlets went from the hands of Coca-Cola%
Competition ,!(!S-: The biggest issue in the industry of beverage industry is the stiff
competition, although Coca-Cola Pakistan doesn(t have any competitor except Pepsi Pakistan
when it comes to carbonated soft drink industry in a direct competition, however there are
indirect competitions that usually knock doors to take a good share of carbonated soda drinks,
there are aspiring domestic companies in Pakistan that could do damage in future such as !ngro
>oods Limited by introducing a carbonated drink over the decades brands like Aalls, $ilk pack,
>roto, Tapal etc% were unchallenged and today after decades we could reali/e that they all areunder tough competition striving to sustain their growth and margins%
The competition from Pepsi isn(t repent able by Coca-Cola Pakistan and in this scenario if such
competitor enters Coca-Cola will be first to get affected by any such havoc, previously all soda
companies which entered were of small scale, if someone like !ngro enters in such market it
'ot enough pro#ucts: Ahen we talk about the key issues one of them is availability of less
products or introduction of less products in Pakistan, whatever the reason maybe, there are 0+++
products of The Coca-Cola globally and only nine products are there in Pakistan, there are so
many segments that are not targeted, there are so many products that could be introduced,
whenever this )uestion is asked related to introduction of products the reply is same the margins
are the issues and hence the products aren(t introduced whereas on the other hand Pepsi is trying
to capitali/e every segment within the industry with his offerings of &uices and energy drinks%
%ur taste is not as seet as people ant: lobally Coca-Cola is loved because of its low
sweetened taste and in the +(s the taste was changed and due to that there was big chaos and people wanted the same flavor back, whereas in Pakistan the biggest issue is that is the taste
people usually don(t like this taste and this seems a biggest stepping stone, we could do either by
introducing a new coke with a Pakistani sort of taste and re-brand as Coke classic with the same
old taste in this way the product portfolio will be enhanced too%
37 | P a " e
8/9/2019 Case Study Analysis of Brannigan Foods: Strategic Marketing Planning - HBR
39/47
Dontime: Hne of the ma&or issue that company faces is the machine downtime issues across
Pakistan specially in Pun&ab based plants due to shortage of electricity and there is no self-
generated electricity plants therefore there is a lot of machine downtime due to that and due to
that product efficiency in cost creates a problem as well as labor is also paid while downtime
which also adds to the unit per cost%
.uice market an# (nerg$ Drinks: There are many segments that Coca-Cola currently lags
behind such as an economy &uice that could match the price of other &uices available in the
market as well as huge market of energy drinks, in the company(s global product portfolio there
are various energy drinks that are suited for different target markets and they could try brining in
the bottom of the line product if they believe economy is the case, with over 0+++ products
globally, Coca-Cola have only bought nine products in Pakistan which is a setback, Pepsi has
capitali/ed in the snacks industry of Pakistan by brining >rito Lays to Pakistan whereas Coca-
Cola
