Coca-Cola’s Values and Analysis On the same page as the mission and vision statements, Coca-Cola shares its values. These values are based on virtues and do not need much explaining. Coca-Cola’s values are: leadership, collaboration, integrity, accountability, passion, diversity and quality. As stated earlier, these are the merits the company cherishes the most. Anything the company does that doesn’t match up to these values can hurt its credibility. Coca-Cola’s values align with what most people would like to see in a company. Also, each value is reasonable and can be controlled – up to a certain extent – by the company. A key factor of values is they need to influence a company’s action in a positive form (Heathfield, 2017). Ideally, if …show more content…
Its mission to refresh the world is mainly intended for its customers and employees. It is in the best interest of the customers to have Coca-Cola’s product readily available to them, no matter where they reside. It is in the employees’ interest to have such a large target audience, as it will provide a need for their jobs. The want to inspire optimism and happiness covers all the stakeholders that have an investment – doesn’t have to be monetary – in the company. Creating happiness is something the company will do if it is financially success because it can benefit everyone. For example, creditors will get paid, suppliers will continue to operate, and a percentage of profits can be allocated to the community. The last part of the mission statement, creating value and making a difference, also aligns with multiple stakeholders. Creating value is something all investors and shareholders want for their companies. Making a difference matches with the interests of the community and some …show more content…
The company must list more tangible and specific goals that measure its success; giving a way to show progress. The last thing would be to update some of its vision statements that the company has already accomplished. Vision statements are meant to show where a company wants to be in the future; it makes no sense to have a vision statement about the present. For example, being the vision of productivity. Very few will argue that Coca-Cola is not a “highly effective, lean and fast-moving organization”. Perhaps it can replace that vision with one that effects its current state. A possible replacement can be one that deals with a growing health concern in the United States.
Conclusion
After analyzing Coca-Cola’s mission, vision, values and goals, there is no doubt that it attributed to much of the company’s success. Each element seemed to be centered around the vast interest of its stakeholders. The company’s mission statement visibly explains the reason why the company exists. Its vision statement gave stakeholders’ understanding of where the company was heading. And finally, the values and goals represented the company’s commitments and moral compass. The few changes that were recommended, were minor adjustments intended to enhance the impact of each
With over 110 million people watching the game of the year, it is no surprise that “Love Story” is aired in between breaks. Having such a large audience view the product will most definitely persuade individuals to purchase their product. Coca-Cola has produced a unique product that quenches thirst while also bringing people together. “Love Story” has brought out the pathos and ethos of the viewers as well as persuading them to purchase a Coke to share with a loved one. As people reminisce on the good days with the ones they love and cherish, they will also remember the classic drink with the words “Coca Cola” printed across the
Mission statements are typically future focused and are not essentially constructed on present-day. They should be a reasonable viewpoint from which to look down the road. These statements should not bound the development of the organization’s premises through incorrect
The goals created for the organization have to be aligned with the strategic goals and overall mission of the entire organization.
The more a product is found desirable the more likely will the person buy it. Effective advertising and positioning attracts customers. The brand equity of Coca cola is very high and it has established an emotional connect with consumers. Coca Colas brand slogan “Open happiness” has successfully positioned the brand as a global icon of happiness. Such connects are very important in order to persuade a consumer into buying the brand.
Thus, instead of focus on short-term profit maximizing or costs saving, firms should be stakeholder-oriented. A firm which is stakeholder-oriented focuses on the need of their stakeholder such as employees, customers, society and others who have a direct economic link to the firm (Habil, n.d.). Businesses that are socially responsible will avoid actions that may cause detrimental to stakeholders. They have greater concern on stakeholder well –being. A firm that decided to ignore the social issues may results in a loss of strategic opportunities ('Shareholder value or social responsiblity?', 2007).

In the carbonated soft drinks industry, Coke Cola and Pepsi Co are the biggest players in the market for aerated beverages.

This is known as an oligopoly market; where there are few large firms competing with each other in the industry.
