    However, Coca-Cola was going after the larger markets for a quick turn around with the market shares (Schindler, 1992). Unfortunately, Coca-Cola spent four million in research and marketing for a product that lasted a short time on the grocery store shelves (Schindler, 1992). Had Coca-Cola surveyed consumers before investing in all the research for a new product (Schindler, 1992)? Coca-Cola may have found out that consumers did not want a new cola to replace the original (Schindler, 1992). Coca-Cola could have spent less time and money if Coca-Cola just asked consumers their thoughts about the current product line and services (Schindler, 1992).

  • Coca Cola Ethical Issues

    Coca-Cola is the largest beverage company in the world. They distribute their beverage products in more than 200 countries, servicing the citizens of those countries. Their drinks have become a common part of many people’s diets and servicing this large amount of people can raise awareness on the safety of their consumers when drinking their products. This is especially true with the current rise of obesity spreading throughout the world, more specifically in the United States. According to stateofobesity.org, “Nationally, nearly 38 percent of adults are obese. Nearly 8 percent are extremely obese” (n.d). Also, there has been numerous studies reported by actiononsugar.org that confirms “the link between sugars-sweetened beverages and increased obesity” (n.d). This is particularly important due to the ethical issues that arise around The Coca-Cola Company and their role and responsibility in all of this. Many individuals might see the correlation between the two, as Coca-Cola produces their beverages with large amounts of sugar. One 21 fl oz cup of Coca-Cola contains 44 grams of sugar. In fact, according to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day for men is 37.5 grams and for women it is 25 grams (Gunnars, 2017).
