coca-cola consumer decision making week 6

Coca-Cola satisfies in the first place a useful need, it takes away the thirst of a consumer. But coca-cola can also be seen as to satisfy a pleasure need. Consumers who drink coca-cola can experience a refreshing moment, which is more an emotional response. Also, the consumption of coca-cola can cause an approach-avoidance conflict. Although it takes away your thirst and can give you a refreshing moment, it also contains a lot of sugar which is not good for your health. Therefore people can be less motivated to buy coca-cola. In western countries, where coca-cola is more of a everyday product, people purchase coca-cola based on habit. Usually, consumers will not take into account the different coca-cola brands, but just purchase the brand they always take if it satisfies their needs, or in this case wants.  

Developing a Global Vision coca-cola- week 5

The Coca-Cola Company is adjusting its approach so that it can tap into customers different experiences around the world. These differences provide the appropriate marketing activities and beverages to connect with consumers. Its "think local, act local" approach to marketing allowed adopting communications to fit local circumstances. Coca-Cola Company wants to provide consumers with beverages to fit their different life styles and life stages. Coca-Cola CEO Douglas Daft replaced practically all of Coca-Cola's senior management in Europe with local executives. By placing more responsibility and accountability in the hands of local managers who are closest to the local consumer. In Brussels, hostesses go to discos and hand out free Coke to teenagers having alcohol to demonstrate pleasure of a Coke break. This was possible by the insights of local marketing managers of coke who knew that Belgians are party animals management in Atlanta would not know this. This is a good example of how the new localization was working.

unethical behavior coca cola week 4

Coca-Cola Company has been sued by many different people and for several different reasons. Coca-Cola. In the early 20th Century, was prosecuted for the unethical and illegal actions of combining drugs with their product to create an addicting force between the product and the consumers. Coca-Cola Company’s idea of creating customer loyalty was aimed more at addicting the customer to the product over developing a relationship between the customer and the company. The unethical behavior of the company was not to cross the line with serious legal issues of this caliber and moved onto substituting caffeine for cocaine. In October 2006, Coca-Cola Company was sued for an insufficient label. The lawsuit claimed that since the label was insufficient, the labels were misleading the consumers. This can be easily classified as unethical behavior by the company and can be seen as morally wrong.The company is essentially trying to profit from the misconception and misguidance of the marketing for the product.  During late July 2001, Coca-Cola was threatened by a major lawsuit that involved the company violating human rights that caused five hundred employees at Coca-Cola plants in Columbia harm or death. The lawsuit is a response of Coca-Cola trying to take advantage of foreign aid to help cut costs of producing the product. Coca-Cola Company has repeatedly committed acts of unethical behavior throughout the life of the business. From the start of the business when cocaine was a key ingredient in the products to current times where the company is sacrificing human-rights and environmental issues in order to save up money from expenses and wages the business is ethically obligated to incur.
