CHAPTER 2
INTRODUCTION TO THE ORGANISATION
COCA-COLA COMPANY
2.1 Introduction
The Coca-Cola Company (Coca-Cola), the world’s leading soft drink maker,
operates in more than 200 countries and sells 400 brands of nonalcoholic
beverages. Coca-Cola is also the most valuable brand in the world. Coca-Cola is a
globally recognized successful company. The Coca-Cola was founded in May of
1886 and continues for more than a century through the times of war and peace,
prosperity and depression and economic boom and bust. As late as the 1990s,
Coca-Cola was one of the most respected companies in the world, building and
known as a very successful management team. Since 1998, the company has been
struggling with internal weaknesses and external threats.
2.2 Brief history of Coca-Cola
1894 … A modest start for a bold idea
In a candy store in Vicksburg, Mississippi, brisk sales of the new fountain
beverage called Coca-Cola impressed the store's owner, Joseph A. Biedenharn. He
began bottling Coca-Cola to sell, using a common glass bottle called a Hutchinson.
Biedenharn sent a case to Asa Griggs Candler, who owned the Company. Candler
thanked him but took no action. One of his nephews already had urged that Coca-
Cola be bottled, but Candler focused on fountain sales.
8. Shivaji University, Kolhapur
RIT, Rajaramnagar Page 8
1899 … The first bottling agreement
Two young attorneys from Chattanooga, Tennessee believed they could build a
business around bottling Coca-Cola. In a meeting with Candler, Benjamin F.
Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead obtained exclusive rights to bottle Coca-Cola
across most of the United States (specifically excluding Vicksburg) -- for the sum
of one dollar. A third Chattanooga lawyer, John T. Lupton, soon joined their
venture.
1900-1909 … Rapid growth
The three pioneer bottlers divided the country into territories and sold bottling
rights to local entrepreneurs. Their efforts were boosted by major progress in
bottling technology, which improved efficiency and product quality. By 1909,
nearly 400 Coca-Cola bottling plants were operating, most of them family-owned
businesses. Some were open only during hot-weather months when demand was
high.
1916 … Birth of the contour bottle
Bottlers worried that the straight-sided bottle for Coca-Cola was easily confused
with imitators. A group representing the Company and bottlers asked glass
manufacturers to offer ideas for a distinctive bottle. A design from the Root Glass
Company of Terre Haute, Indiana won enthusiastic approval in 1915 and was
introduced in 1916. The contour bottle became one of the few packages ever
granted trademark status by the U.S. Patent Office. Today, it's one of the most
recognized icons in the world - even in the dark!
9. Shivaji University, Kolhapur
RIT, Rajaramnagar Page 9
1920s … Bottling overtakes fountain sales
As the 1920s dawned, more than 1,000 Coca-Cola bottlers were operating in the
U.S. Their ideas and zeal fueled steady growth. Six-bottle cartons were a huge hit
after their 1923 introduction. A few years later, open-top metal coolers became the
forerunners of automated vending machines. By the end of the 1920s, bottle sales
of Coca-Cola exceeded fountain sales.
1920s and 30s … International expansion
Led by long-time Company leader Robert W. Woodruff, chief executive officer
and chairman of the Board, the Company began a major push to establish bottling
operations outside the U.S. Plants were opened in France, Guatemala, Honduras,
Mexico, Belgium, Italy, Peru, Spain, Australia and South Africa. By the time
World War II began, Coca-Cola was being bottled in 44 countries.
1940s … Post-war growth
During the war, 64 bottling plants were set up around the world to supply the
troops. This followed an urgent request for bottling equipment and materials from
General Eisenhower's base in North Africa. Many of these war-time plants were
later converted to civilian use, permanently enlarging the bottling system and
accelerating the growth of the Company's worldwide business.
1950s … Packaging innovations
For the first time, consumers had choices of Coca-Cola package size and type --
the traditional 6.5-ounce contour bottle, or larger servings including 10-, 12- and
10. Shivaji University, Kolhapur
RIT, Rajaramnagar Page 10
26-ounce versions. Cans were also introduced, becoming generally available in
1960.
1960s … New brands introduced
Following Fanta® in the 1950s, Sprite®, Minute Maid®, Fresca® and TaB®
joined brand Coca-Cola in the 1960s. Mr. Pibb® and Mello Yello® were added in
the 1970s. The 1980s brought diet Coke® and Cherry Coke®, followed by
POWERADE® and DASANI® in the 1990s. Today hundreds of other brands are
offered to meet consumer preferences in local markets around the world.
1970s and 80s … Consolidation to serve customers
As technology led to a global economy, the retailers who sold Coca-Cola merged
and evolved into international mega-chains. Such customers required a new
approach. In response, many small and medium-size bottlers consolidated to better
serve giant international customers. The Company encouraged and invested in
several bottler consolidations to assure that its largest bottling partners would have
capacity to lead the system in working with global retailers.
1990s … New and growing markets
Political and economic changes opened vast markets that were closed or
underdeveloped for decades. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Company
invested heavily to build plants in Eastern Europe. And as the century closed, more
than $1.5 billion was committed to new bottling facilities in Africa.
11. Shivaji University, Kolhapur
RIT, Rajaramnagar Page 11
21st Century …
The Coca-Cola bottling system grew up with roots deeply planted in local
communities. This heritage serves the Company well today as people seek brands
that honour local identity and the distinctiveness of local markets. As was true a
century ago, strong locally based relationships between Coca-Cola bottlers,
customers and communities are the foundation on which the entire business grows.

PEPSI COMPANY
2.1 Introduction
Pepsi is a carbonated soft drink that is produced and manufactured
by PepsiCo. Created and developed in 1898 and introduced as "Brad's Drink", it
was later renamed as Pepsi-Cola on June 16, 1903, then to Pepsi in 1961.It is one
of the most well-known brands in the world today available in over 160 countries.
It has an extremely positive outlook for India. This reflects that India holds a
central position in Pepsi's corporate strategy.
India is a key market for Pepsi co, and at the same time the company has
added value to Indian agriculture and industry. PepsiCo entered India in 1989 and
is concentrating in three focus areas- Soft drink concentrate, snack foods and
vegetable and food processing. Faced with the existing policy framework at the
time, the company entered the Indian market through a joint venture with Volta’s
and Punjab Agro Industries. With the introduction of the liberalization policies
since 1991, Pepsi took complete control of its operations.
2.2 Brief history of PepsiCo
Pepsi was originally named "Brad's Drink", after its creator, Caleb Bradham,
a pharmacist in New Bern, North Carolina. It was created in the summer of 1893
and was later renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898, possibly due the digestive enzyme
pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe. Bradham sought to create a fountain drink
that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy
In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore into a
rented warehouse. That year, Bradham sold 7,968 gallons of syrup. The next year,
Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles, and sales increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1926,
Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the original design of 1905. In 1929, the
logo was changed again. In 1929, automobile race pioneer Barney Oldfield
endorsed Pepsi-Cola in newspaper ads as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating,
a fine bracer before a race".
18. Shivaji University, Kolhapur
RIT, Rajaramnagar Page 18
Bankruptcy
In 1931, the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt during the Great Depression- in
large part due to financial losses incurred by speculating on wildly fluctuating
sugar prices as a result of World War I. Assets were sold and Roy C. Megargel
bought the Pepsi trademark. Eight years later, the company went bankrupt again.
Pepsi's assets were then purchased by Charles Guth; the President of Loft Inc. Loft
was a candy manufacturer with retail stores that contained soda fountains. He
sought to replace Coca-Cola at his stores' fountains after Coke refused to give him
a discount on syrup. Guth then had Loft's chemists reformulate the Pepsi-Cola
syrup formula.
Pepsi Cola Trademark
The original trademark application for Pepsi-Cola was filed on September 23, 1902
with registration approved on June 16, 1903. In the application's statement, Caleb
Bradham describes the trademark as an "arbitrary hyphenated word "PEPSI-
COLA” and indicated that the mark was in continuous use for his business since
August 1, 1901. The Pepsi-Cola's description is a flavoring-syrup for soda water.
The trademark expired on April 15, 1994.
A second Pepsi-Cola trademark is on record with the USPTO. The application date
submitted by Caleb Bradham for the second trademark is Saturday, April 15, 1905
with the successful registration date of April 15, 1906, over three years after the
original date. Curiously, in this application, Caleb Bradham states that the
trademark had been continuously used in his business "and those from whom title
is derived since in the 1905 application the description submitted to the USPTO
was for a tonic beverage. The federal status for the 1905 trademark is registered
and renewed and is owned by PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase.
Rise
During the Great Depression, Pepsi gained popularity following the introduction in
1936 of a 12-ounce bottle. Initially priced at 10 cents, sales were slow, but when
the price was slashed to five cents, sales increased substantially. With a radio
advertising campaign featuring the jingle "Pepsi cola hits the spot / Twelve full
ounces, that's a lot / Twice as much for a nickel, too / Pepsi-Cola is the drink for
19. Shivaji University, Kolhapur
RIT, Rajaramnagar Page 19
you," Pepsi encouraged price-watching consumers to switch, obliquely referring to
the Coca-Cola standard of six ounces a bottle for the price of five cents (a nickel),
instead of the 12 ounces Pepsi sold at the same price. Coming at a time of
economic crisis, the campaign succeeded in boosting Pepsi's status. In 1936 alone
500,000,000 bottles of Pepsi were consumed. From 1936 to 1938, Pepsi-Cola's
profits doubled.
Pepsi's success under Guth came while the Loft Candy business was faltering.
Since he had initially used Loft's finances and facilities to establish the new Pepsi
success, the near-bankrupt Loft Company sued Guth for possession of the Pepsi-
Cola company. A long legal battle, Guth v. Loft, then ensued, with the case
reaching the Delaware Supreme Court and ultimately ending in a loss for Guth.
Current Situation
PepsiCo, Inc. is one of the most successful consumer products companies in the
world, with 2000 revenues of over $20 billion and 125,000 employees. The
company consists of: Frito-Lay Company, the largest manufacturer and distributor
of snack chips; Pepsi-Cola Company, the second largest soft drink business and
Tropicana Products, the largest marketer and producer of branded juice. PepsiCo
brands are among the best known and most respected in the world and are
available in about 190 countries and territories.

3.6 WHY & WHEN TO ADVERTISE
Advertising as a tool to marketing not only reaches those who buy, but also
those whose opinions or authority is counted for example a manufacturer of marble
tiles and building boards advertises not only to people who intend to build houses
but also to architect and engineers. While the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals
products advertise to doctors as well as to the public. At time it is necessary for a
manufacturer or a concern to advertise things which it does not sell but which
when sold stimulates the sales of its own product. There are concerns like electric
heaters, iron etc. because the use of these increases the demand for their products.
Advertising should be used only when it promises to bring good result more
economically and efficiently as compared to other means of selling. There are
goods for which much time and efforts are required in creating a demand by
sending salesman to prospective buyers than by simply advertising them. In the
early days of the cash register in America it was sold by specially trained salesman
who called on the prospective users and had the difficult task of convincing them
that they could no longer carry on with the old methods, and that they urgently
needed a cash register. In our country certain publishers have found it less costly to
sell their books by sending salesman from house to house among prospective
buyers than to advertise them. In these two examples the cost of creating demand
would be too high if attempted by advertising alone under such circumstances
advertising is used to make the salesman acceptable to the people they call upon to

increase the confidence of the public in the house. Naturals when there are good
profits competitors will be attracted and they should be kicked out as and when
sufficient capital is available by advertising on a large scale. Immediate result may
not justify the increased expenditure, but it will no doubt secure future sales.
