• Though Coca Cola is performing well and gaining trust of its consumers
and obtaining new consumers trust every day, it should act even better to
keep its current position in beverage industry and keep on growing. The
Company should increase its shareholders wealth by increasing its sales
and decreasing the costs which will result higher earnings and net profit.
• Coca Cola needs to continuously strengthen its brand to maintain brand
loyalty and differentiate itself from its competitors, in order to maintain its
strong market position.
