ABSTRACT
Coca Cola has come a long way since its beginnings, from selling nine bottles a day to
currently over 800 million.
In this project, we perform a comprehensive audit of Coca-Cola's marketing program and
recommendations developed for future marketing plans.
We provide recommendations for Coca-Cola's marketing efforts as well as product line
enhancements, as Coca-Cola faces stiff competition and changing consumer tastes. These
recommendations include:
Pursuing a multi-pronged marketing strategy
Quality of the products should be improved and the ingredients of the products should be
mentioned on the products so that the consumers might be aware of the products they
are consuming
The company must try to make different brands of Coca-Cola available at every retailoutlet whether it is large or small, otherwise the consumer may go for substitute.
The main objective of this study lies in understanding the organization. This project is based
on information collected from primary and secondary sources.

BEVERAGE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Indias one billion people, growing middle class, and low per capita consumption of soft
drinks made it a highly contested prize in the global CSD market in the early twenty-first
century.
Ten percent of the countrys population lived in urban areas or large cities and drank ten
bottles of soda per year while the vast remainder lived in rural areas, villages, and small
towns where annual per capita consumption was less than four bottles.
Coke and Pepsi dominated the market and together had a consolidated market share above
95%. While soft drinks were once considered products only for the affluent. By 2003, 91% ofsales were made to the lower, middle and upper middle classes.
Soft drink sales in India grew 76% between 1998 and 2002, from 5,670 million bottles to over
10,000 million and were expected to grow at least 10% per year through 2012. In spite of this
growth, annual per capita consumption was only 6 bottles versus 17 in Pakistan, 73 in
Thailand, 173 in the Philippines and 800 in the United States.
In 2001, Coca-Cola recognized that to compete with traditional refreshments including lemon
water, green coconut water, fruit juices, tea, and lassi, competitive pricing was essential.

ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOFT DRINK
INDUSTRY
Soft drink industry scenario the world over is almost the same with two major players i.e.
Pepsi Co. and Coca-Cola having the major share in the pie.
The other major player in the industry is Cadbury-Schweppes and some local player in
individual countries. The major components of the industry consist of the concentrate
manufactures, bottles and the sales and distribution network of the companies the rule and
responsibilities of each of them are different.
The major activity taken up by the concentrate manufactures relates to the production of the
basic product which is bottled by the bottling plants mostly independents and subsequently
sold through the established distribution set ups of the respective companies.
Independents bottling arose primarily because it was not possible to create an effective
organization for operating a vertically integrated company with hundreds of geographically
separated manufacturing unit and local delivery operations given the limited transportation
and communication system of the time and the lack of sophisticated financial and
management controls.
In India after the exit of coke in 1977 Parle and pure drinks controlled the Indian Soft Drinks
market. By the end of 1970 Campa-Cola was practically alone in Cola market Parle
introduced Thums up in the beginning of 1980s. By the end of 80s Parle with Limca, gold
spot and Thums up emerged as clear winner with around 60% market share.
Finally in June 1990 Pepsi was launched in India under the brand name of Lehar Pepsi.
The most strategic step taken by Coca Cola was the purchase of Parle brands. With this coke
instantly had the ownership of countries tap soft drinks brands as well as got access to Parles
extensive 54 bottling plants as well as a pre set distribution net work. This purchase gave coke
an over might lead occur rival Pepsi which had came almost 5 year earlier.

FACTORS AFFECTING SOFT DRINK INDUSTRY
Seasonality: Seasonality is one of the most important factors that affect the soft
drink business. Seasonality is primarily influenced either by the weather, or by
holidays and religious festivals. Within the Group, soft drink business has different
seasonal cycles throughout the year.
Service frequency: This is another factor that affects the business. Service
frequency is the time gap between visiting a particular outlet again. Service frequency
directly affects the rotation time which in turn affects the value of business.
Demand pattern for the market: Every product has a different demand pattern and
affects the business.
Price of the product: Price of the soft drinks also affects the business. Due to perfect
competition in soft drink market, price of a product plays a major role in business.
Disposable Income: Disposable Income of the consumers also affects the business of
the soft drink players. A high disposable income of the consumers ensures a high
demand for the products in the market.

PROFILE OF THE ORGANISATION
COMPANY PROFILE
Coca-Cola was first introduced by John Syth
Pemberton, a pharmacist, in the year 1886 in
Atlanta, Georgia when he concocted caramel-
colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle in
his backyard. He first distribute the product by
carrying it in a jug down the street to Jacobs
Pharmacy and customers bought the drink for five cents
at the soda fountain. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, whether by accident
or otherwise, producing a drink that was proclaimed delicious and refreshing, a theme that
continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed.
Dr. Pembertons partner and book-keeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name and
penned Coca-Cola in the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide even today.
By the year 1886, sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks per day. The first year, Dr.
Pemberton sold 25 gallons of syrup, shipped in bright red wooden kegs. Red has been a
distinctive color associated with the soft drink ever since.
Muhtar Kent (born in 1952), is a Turkish American businessman, who is currently Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Coca-Cola Company.

HINDUSTAN COCA COLA BEVERAGE PRIVATE LIMITED
Coca-Cola was the leading soft drink brand in India until
1977, when it left rather than reveal its formula to the
Government and reduce its equity stake as required under
the Foreign Regulation Act (FERA) which governed the
operations of foreign companies in India. Coca-Cola re-
entered the Indian market on 26th October 1993 after a gap
of 16 years, with its launch in Agra.
The Coca-Cola Company acquired soft drink brands like Thumps Up, Gold spot, Limca,
Maaza, which were floated by Parle, as these products had achieved a strong consumer base
and formed a strong brand image in Indian market during the re-entry of Coca-Cola in 1993.
Coca-Cola is made up of 7000 local employees, 500 managers, over 60 manufacturing
locations, 27 Company Owned Bottling Operations (COBO), 17 Franchisee Owned Bottling
Operations (FOBO) and a network of 29 Contract Packers that facilitate the manufacture
process of a range of products for the company. It also has a supporting distribution network
consisting of 700,000 retail outlets and 8000 distributors .Between 2001 and 2003, the percapita consumption of cold drinks doubled due to the launch of the new packaging of 200 ml
returnable glass bottles which were made available at a price of Rs.5 per bottle. This new
market accounted for over 80% of Indias new Coca-Cola drinkers
A Healthy Growth to the Indian Economy
Ever since, Coca-Cola India has made significant investments to build and continually
consolidate its business in the country, including new production facilities, waste water
treatment plants, distribution systems, and marketing channels. Coca-Cola India is among the
countrys top international investors, having invested more than US$ 1 billion in India in the
first decade, and further pledged another US$100 million in 2003 for its operations.

A Pure Commitment to the Indian Economy
The Company has shaken up the Indian carbonated drinks market greatly, giving consumers
the pleasure of world-class drinks to fill up their hydration, refreshment, and nutrition needs.
It has also been instrumental in giving an exponential growth to the countrys job listings.
Creating Enormous Job Opportunities
With virtually all the goods and services required to produce and market Coca-Cola being
made in India, the business system of the Company directly employs approximately 6,000
people, and indirectly creates employment for more than 125,000 people in related industries
through its vast procurement, supply, and distribution system. Coca-Cola is made up of 7000
local employees, 500 managers, over 60 manufacturing locations, 27 Company Owned
Bottling Operations (COBO), 17 Franchisee Owned
Bottling Operations (FOBO) and a network of 29 Contract Packers that facilitate the
manufacture process of a range of products for the company. It also has a supporting
distribution network consisting of 700,000 retail outlets and 8000 distributors. Almost all
goods and services required to cater to the Indian market are made locally, with help of
technology and skills within the Company. The complexity of the Indian market is reflected
in the distribution fleet which includes different modes of distribution, from 10-tonne trucks
to open-bay three wheelers that can navigate through narrow alleyways of Indian cities and
trademarked tricycles and pushcarts.

large quantities of a product in one single transaction. The Company provides goods to these
customers on credit, payments being made by them after a certain period of time i.e. either a
month of half a month.
Examples: Clubs, fine dines restaurant, hotels, corporate houses etc.
Future Consumption:
This route consists of outlets of Coca-Cola products, wherein a considerable
amount of stock is kept in order to use for future consumption.The stock does not exhaust
within a day or two, instead as and when required stocks are stacked up by them so as to
avoid shortage or non-availability of the product.
Examples: Departmental stores, Super markets etc.
Immediate Consumption:
The outlets in this route are those which require stocks on a daily basis. The stocks of
products in these outlets are not stored for future use instead, are exhausted on the same day
and might run a little into the next day i.e. the products are consumed at a fast pace.
Examples: Small sized bars and restaurants, educational institutions etc.
General:
Under this route, all the outlets that come in a particular area or an area along
with its neighboring areas are catered to. The consumption period is not taken into
consideration in this particularroute.
Criteria for providing free chilling equipment

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter describes the methodology of the study. This project is based on information
collected from primary and secondary sources.
After the detailed study, an attempt has been made to present comprehensive analysis of Coca
cola. In data collection two methods are used, one is qualitative and one is quantitative
method.
In quantitative technique, analysis tool to find the market share of Coca-Cola in areas covered
under VITAL. In collecting requisite data and information regarding the topic selected, I
visited 43 shops and collected the data.
For this study, the survey was conducted in the entire city of Agra and Pilibhit covering all
the categories including students, working professionals etc.
The sample was randomly selected from Agra district & respondents were in the age group of
18 to 60+ years. The responses of the respondents were recorded on a pre-coded structure
questionnaire by the part-time casual interviewers trained for this purpose. The data in the
coded form were collected from the interviewers compiled and analyzed While selecting the
respondents due care was taken to give proper representation to female respondents as well as
different age groups & occupational categories.
Research Methods versus Methodology
It seems appropriate at this juncture to explain the difference between research methods and
research methodology.Research methods may be understood as all those methods/techniques
that are used for conduction of research. Research methods or techniques*, thus, refer to the
methods the researchers
35
-
8/3/2019 Summer Training FInal
36/66
*At times, a distinction is also made between research techniques and research methods.
Research techniques refer to the behaviour and instruments we use in performing research
operations such as making observations, recording data, techniques of processing data and the
like. Research methods refer to the behaviour and instruments used in selecting and
constructing research technique. For instance, the difference between methods and techniques
of data collection can better be understood from the details given in the following chart
Type Methods Techniques
1. Library (i) Analysis of historical Recording of notes, Content analysis, Tape and Film
listening and Research records analysis.
(ii) Analysis of documents Statistical compilations and manipulations, reference and abstract
guides, contents analysis.
2. Field (i) Non-participant direct Observational behavioural scales, use of score cards, etc.
Research observation
(ii) Participant observation Interactional recording, possible use of tape recorders, photo
graphic
techniques.
(iii) Mass observation Recording mass behaviour, interview using independent observers in
public places.(iv) Mail questionnaire Identification of social and economic background of respondents.
(v) Opinionnaire Use of attitude scales, projective techniques, use of sociometric scales.
(vi) Personal interview Interviewer uses a detailed schedule with open and closed questions.
(vii) Focused interview Interviewer focuses attention upon a given experience and its effects.
(viii) Group interview Small groups of respondents are interviewed simultaneously.
(ix) Telephone survey Used as a survey technique for information and for discerning opinion;
may also be used as a follow up of questionnaire.
(x) Case study and life history Cross sectional collection of data for intensive analysis,
longitudinal collection of data of intensive character.
3. Laboratory Small group study of random Use of audio-visual recording devices, use of
observers, etc.
Research Behaviour, Play And Role Analysis

From what has been stated above, we can say that methods are more general. It is the methods
that generate techniques.
However, in practice, the two terms are taken as interchangeable and when we talk of
research methods we do, by implication, include research techniques within their compass.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the
various
steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with
the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research
methods/techniques but also the methodology. Researchers not only need to know how to
develop certain indices or tests, how to calculate the mean, the mode, the median or the
standard deviation or chi-square, how to apply particular research techniques, but they also
need to know which of these methods or techniques, are relevant and which are not, and what
would they mean and indicate and why. Researchers also need to understand the assumptions
underlying various techniques and they need to know the criteria by which they can decide
that certain techniques and procedures will be applicable to certain problems and others will
not. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his
problem as the same may differ from problem to problem. For example, an architect, whodesigns a building, has to consciously evaluate the basis of his decisions, i.e., he has to
evaluate why and on what basis he selects particular size, number and location of doors,
windows and ventilators, uses particular materials and not others and the like. Similarly, in
research the scientist has to expose the research decisions to evaluation before they are
implemented. He has to specify very clearly and precisely what decisions he selects and why
he selects them so that they can be evaluated by others also.
From what has been stated above, we can say that research methodology has many
dimensions
and research methods do constitute a part of the research methodology. The scope of research
methodology is wider than that of research methods. Thus, when we talk of research
methodology we not only talk of the research methods but also consider the logic behind the
methods we use in the context of our research study and explain why we are using a
37
-
8/3/2019 Summer Training FInal
38/66
particular method or technique and why we are not using others so that research results are
capable of being evaluated either by the researcher himself or by others . Why a research
study has been undertaken, how the research problem has been defined, in what way and why
the hypothesis has been formulated, what data have been collected and what particular
method has been adopted, why particular technique of analysing data has been used and a
host of similar other questions are usually answered when we talk of research methodology
concerning a research problem or study.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application of
scientific
procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has
not been discovered as yet. Though each research study has its own specific purpose, we may
think of research objectives as falling into a number of following broad groupings:
1. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it (studies with
this object in view are termed as exploratory orformulative research studies);
2. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group
(studies with this object in view are known as descriptive research studies);3. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is
associated
with something else (studies with this object in view are known as diagnostic research
studies);
4. To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables (such studies are
known as
hypothesis-testingresearch studies).
Thus in the present scenario, the research objectives can be summarized as below -
To find out Market comparison of all the available brands of the soft drinks in
the market.
The second objective of my report is to find out the brand availability of Coca Cola
vis -a vis Pepsi.

RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is a framework or blueprint for conducting the research project. It specifies
the details of the procedures necessary for obtaining the information needed to structure
and/or solve research problem.
On the basis of fundamental objectives of the research we can classify research design into
two general types:
1) EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
2) CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH
Exploratory research is one type of research design, which has its primary objective the
provision of insights into, and comprehension of, the
problem situation confronting the researcher.
Conclusive research is designed to assist the decision maker in determining evaluating and
selecting the best course of action to take in a given situation.
Conclusive research can be further divided into two types:-
Descriptive
Experimental
The research design used in this project is a DESCRIPTIVE DESIGN.
Descriptive study as the name implies is designed to describe something-for example the
characteristics of users of a given product, the degree to which the product varies with
income, age, etc.

DATA COLLECTION METHODS
The success of any project or market survey depends heavily on the data collection and
analysis. It is necessary that the data collected is a reliable data in order to achieve the
research objective. All data sources can be classified into two data:
1. PRIMARY DATA 2 SECONDARY DATA
1) PRIMARY DATA: -Primary data is the data which are fresh and collected for the first
time, and are original in character. There are various Primary data collection
techniques, which have helped in data gathering.
The primary data collection techniques used in the project is as follows:
a) PERSONAL INTERVIEW METHOD
b) QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD
c) OBSERVATION METHOD
2) SECONDARY DATA- Secondary data are those data, which have been already
collected or published for the purpose other than specific research need at hand .This data is
simply used up by the researcher for his purpose of collected the data and its use is now not
the same The secondary data source here in this project are:-
a) MAGAZINES
b) WEBSITES
c) JOURNALS
SAMPLING DESIGN
Design is the plan, structure & strategy of investigation conceived so as to attain answer to
question to survey and to control the variances. According to this projects/ surveys the
analytical, interpretive/objective design was chosen.

The universe of the study, I have selected all retail outlets who are in a radius of Sanjay Place
(Agra) region.
Sample Size
Our project Guide, keeping in view the time consideration, determined the size of the
sample arbitrarily. The sample size I have taken 50 units.
Sampling Techniques

recently, so many of them were not aware.

CONCLUSION
As far as I can conclude this study I strongly feel thatr soft drink market is highly
diversified. Although it seems that Coca-cola is the market leader in the study area, it lacks
the necessary innovative marketing techniques being adapted by its main business rival Pepsi.
However, Coca-cola has managed to capatalise its global brand image and is currently the
market leader.
Selected flavors like Thums Up from Cocoa Cola & Mountain Dew from Pepsi
represent market leaders drinks.
Retailers strongly feel the need for the launch of promotional schemes speciallyduring off season. It can also be inferred that as Pet bottles offer more portability & are cost
effective they emerge as buyerss choice.
It can finally be concluded that although Coca-cola is a global leader it is really facing
a stiff compition from Pepsi.
