coke cola
I originally choose Dr. Pepper but I figured I could probably get more research if I use Coke, since it is a coke product. Coco was discovered way before

"It was 1886, and in New York Harbor, workers were constructing the Statue of Liberty. Eight hundred miles away, another great American symbol was about to be unveiled. Like many people who change history, John Pemberton, an Atlanta pharmacist, was inspired by simple curiosity. One afternoon, he stirred up a fragrant, caramel-colored liquid and, when it was done, he carried it a few doors down to Jacobs' Pharmacy. Here, the mixture was combined with carbonated water and sampled by customers who all agreed -- this new drink was something special. So Jacobs' Pharmacy put it on sale for five cents a glass. Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, named the mixture Coca-Cola®, and wrote it out in his distinct script. To this day, Coca-Cola is written the same way (Company, 2006-2011).

Moving forward to 2000- now, "In 1886, Coca-Cola® brought refreshment to patrons of a small Atlanta pharmacy. Now well into its second century, the Company's goal is to provide magic every time someone drinks one of its more than 500 brands. Coca-Cola has fans from Boston to Budapest to Bahrain, drinking brands such as Ambasa, Vegitabeta and Frescolita. In the remotest comers of the globe, you can still find Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola is committed to local markets, paying attention to what people from different cultures and backgrounds like to drink, and where and how they want to drink it. With its bottling partners, the Company reaches out to the local communities it serves, believing that Coca-Cola exists to benefit and refresh everyone it touches" (Company, 2006-2011).

    The inventor of Coca-Cola named John Pemberton. Pemberton moved to Atlanta and started making and selling of patent medicines. One of his biggest selling items was French wine of coca. A cocaine laced Bordeaux wine that was popular throughout the world. At the time cocaine was not thought of harmful. Doctors gave them as a medicine recipe. Pemberton's formula also contained caffeine from the kola nut (which is actually a seed from a tree in Africa). He sold his "French wine of coca" as a cure for nervous disorders, disturbances of internal plumbing, and impotency. In 1886 he removed the wine so the substances would be like a syrup based medicine. After that he began with experimenting. The cocaine and caffeine were very bitter tasting, so plenty of sugar was added to mask these flavors. Citric acid then had to be added to provide some bite that would counter-balance the sweetness. This creation of new syrup became Coca-Cola.…

    Invented in Atlanta in 1886, the flagship Coca-Cola was the only beverage sold for almost 70 years. A bottler from Italy began selling Fanta Orange in 1955 in which we began our expansion. Since then we have added beverage selections in wider varieties along with portion sizes for our consumers as we believe every lifestyle, life stage and life occasion should be offered an assortment of beverages. Currently we sell over “500 beverage brands in over 200 countries which amounts to 3,500 beverages in numerous categories. These categories include regular, low-and no-calorie sparkling beverages, fruit juices and fruit drinks, bottled water, sports and energy drinks and ready-to-drink teas and coffee” (Worldofcoca-cola.com, 2014).…

    Throughout its enduring reign as an industry leader, Coca-Cola has acquired a sufficient amount of its revenue from CSD sales. According to Dr.Harber (2010), “ New federal nutrition guidelines, issued in 2005, identified regular CSDs as the largest source of obesity-causing sugars in the American diet”. Schools in New York City, throughout California, and elsewhere banned the sales of soft drinks on their premises(Dr.Harber, 2010). This was a tremendous issue that threatened the success of future sales of soft drinks all over the region. The United States obesity rate has continued to rise over the years and more people are now becoming involved in trying to eat and drink healthier. Companies such as McDonalds and Wendys have observed this fact and now offer several healthy items on their menu. Furthermore, the widespread linkage of CSDs with obesity and other health-related concerns was hard to disperse from people’s minds (Dr.Harber, 2010). Coca-Cola knew something had to be done, which led to the search for alternative beverages.…

    Introduction On June 14, 1999, the Coca Cola Corporation faced a severe crisis after it was reported that 200 people in Western Europe had become sick after drinking the company’s products. In Belgium, Coca Cola was severely criticized for what many saw as a negligent response to the crisis. This response paper examines how Coca Cola’s organizational culture and pre-existing factors within Belgium played a role in the crisis. Coca Cola’s Organizational Culture According to George Ritzer, author of the controversial book The McDonaldization of Society, Coca Cola’s organizational culture is characterized by formal rationality: an emphasis is placed on efficiency, predictability, calculability, and control. Coca Cola produces a product that is predictable (a Coke produced in Congo tastes similar to a Coke in Iceland) and efficiently produced. In the addition, the corporation has gone to great lengths to control costs and streamline operations. Ritzer, however, also argues that there is a negative element to this type of organizational culture. As organizations strive for more rationality, they also become more irrational. Ritzer argues that as more emphasis is placed on quantitative results (how many Cokes are sold), less emphasis is placed on quality. Coca Cola, in the late 1990s, exemplifies this irrationality and it is a key factor in the crisis of the tainted Cokes. The Crisis A dysfunctional organizational culture is clearly evident in how Coca Cola handled the crisis. When the first reports of poisonings emerged, Coca Cola responded by denying that a problem existed and went as far as to blame those who had fallen ill. The crisis did not abate. The Belgian government was the first to order the company to recall its product. Other countries across Western Europe soon followed with similar recalls. As time passed, the slow response affected levels of trust…
