Abstract In this module four session long project I will discuss while learning on how to apply and integrate results from the two completed SLP with four generic business strategies found with this module in regards to the different types of analysis for the Coca-Cola Company. Step one will include the listing of the four SWOT and four generic strategies (Low Cost, Differentiation, Focus and Preemptive) in a 5x5 table for simplicity. In step two and step three, I will list the elements of my choices taken from the Porter’s Value Chain analysis and from the PEST analysis that similarly involves the ideas from my previous SLPs and expound further for the clarification and discussion.
Coca-Cola’s Main Strategic Choices | Low Cost | Differentiation | Focus | Pre-emptive | Strengths: Brand Naming of Coca-Cola’s entire product portfolio. | Coca-Cola’s name is already known to the whole wide world. This is one of Coca-Cola’s greatest tangible assets and strengths towards the market that is cheap and almost free. | Having the most popular name helps a lot from being bought and consume by consumers.
