    1. INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTRY

    Glimpses on the Birth of Coca-Cola

    John Smyth first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca Cola in Atlanta. It was

    May of 1886 when the pharmacist caramel syrup in a three legged brass kettle in

    his backyard. He first distributed the new product carrying Coca-Cola in a jug

    down the street to Jacobs Pharmacy. For five cents, consumers could enjoy a

    glass of Coca-Cola at the Soda Fountain. Whether by design or accident

    carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup producing a drink that was

    proclaimed Delicious And Refreshing.

    Dr. Pemberton partner and bookkeeper frank M Robinson, suggested the name

    and panned Coca cola in the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide

    today. Mr. Robinson thought the two C,S would look well in advertising.

    By 1886, sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks per day. That first year, Dr

    Pemberton sold 25 Gallons of syrup, shipped in bright red wooden kegs. Red has

    been a distinctive color associated with the No-1 soft drink brand ever since. For

    his effort, Dr Pemberton grossed $5o and spent $73.96 on advertising.

    In 1891, Atlanta entrepreneur, Asa G. Candler had acquired complete ownership

    of the Coca-Cola business. With in four years, his merchandising flair helped

    expand consumption of Coca-Cola every state and territory. In 1919 Coca Cola

    Company was sold to group of inventors for $25 million. Robert W.Woodruff

    became president of the Coca Cola in 1923, and his more then six decades of

    leadership took the business to unrivalled heights of commercial success making

    Coca Cola an institution the world over.

    Soft Drink Market In Present Scenario

    The soft drink market all over the world has been witnessing a throat cut

    battle between two major players: coca cola &Pepsi, since very beginning.

    The thirst quenchers are trying hard to have the major piece of the apple of

    overall carbonated soft drink market. Both the players are spending energies

    in building capacity, infrastructure, promotional activities etc

    Coca cola, being 11 years older than Pepsi, has been dominating the scene

    in most of the soft drink market of world and enjoying the leader ship in terms

    of the share. But the coca cola people are finding it hard to deep away Pepsi,

    which has been narrowing the gaps regularly. The two are posing threats for

    each other in every nook and corner of the world. While coca cola has been

    earning most of the part of its red and butter through beverages sales but

    Pepsi has a multi product port folio with a handsome portion from the same

    business.The warriors are face to face once again here in India with different

    strategies and tactics to attack the rival. Coca cola is focusing upon the joint

    ventures with the exiting bottlers to enhance its control on manufacturing in

    marketing of its products range and attain the equality standards of its class.

    Countering it Pepsi has taken the battle in its own hands by floating as

    investment of $95 billon to set Pepsi Co. India holdings as a subsidiary for

    company owned bottling operations (COBOL). Both the companies are

    following different path for reach the same destiny i.e. to fetch the bigger

    portion of the aerated soft dink market in India.

    Both the competitors have a distinct vision and properties about the Indian

    soft drink market. though having so much difference and distances with each

    other ,they both consider India a huge potential market ,as per capita

    consumption here is a mere three serving annually against the world average

    2

    of 80.therefore ,they are putting in their best effort to woe the India consumer

    who has to work for 1.5 hour to buy a bottle soft drink in comparison to the

    international norms of 5 minutes, a major hurdle to cross over for both the

    athletes or getting no.1 position.

    Coca cola is well with its 53 bottling sites throughout the country giving it an

    edge over competition by processing a well built and distribution set up. On

    the other hand , Pepsi, with 2 more years in India , has been able to set an

    image of winner this time in India and get the pulse of India soft drink The

    soft drink giants are Leaving on stone unturned and her for the Long terms.

    Coca cola has been penetrating the market through its wide

    product range with a determination to change consumption pattern of soft

    drink in India. Firstly, they upgraded the whole industry by introducing 300 ml

    bottles, which in turn had given the industry a booming growth of 20% as

    compared to the earlier 5%. They want to develop a Coca culture and are

    working on a strategy to offer soft drink in every possible package. In Coca

    cola cap, the idea of competition has not come from Pepsi, but from the other

    beverages such as Tea, Coffee, Nimbu Pani, and Water etc.

    Pepsi is quite aggressive in its approach to Indian consumer. They are

    desperately working on the strategy to be winners in the hot cola war between

    two big banners. According to Pepsi philosophy, its the madness encourages

    executive to think, to conjure up those creative tactics to knock the fizz out

    there competition. Pepsi had plumbed a large on the visibility of its blue red

    and white logo. They have been going with aggressive marketing by putting

    Sachin Tendulker, Akshay Kumar, and now Shahrukh Khan in their

    advertisement to endorse their brand, the role models for its targeted

    consumer the teenagers. They have increased the fizz in the market place by

    3

    introducing the dispensers called Fountain Pepsi and has been enjoying a

    lead over its rival there.

    Coca Cola on the other hand, has been working on the saying slow and

    steady wins the race, side by side retailing to every more of its competitor.

    They have produced the shield of Thums Up with a handsome Markey share

    in Indian soft drink market. Countering Pepsis international commercial that

    used two chimpanzees to cock a snoop at coke. Thums Up has been

    positioned now very near to that young image of Pepsi and giving it a tuff

    time.These cool merchants have put every thing on fire .if coke get the status

    of the official drink of wills world cup, Pepsi blushed as nothing official about

    it. as Thums up projected as sare jaha se accha, Pepsi was passionate

    enough with freedom to be and now the yeh dil mange more. When Thums

    up came with thunder blast

    Factors Influencing The Soft Drink Industry

    A soft drink is a mixture of concentrate sugar syrup and treated water .the

    factor that affect the soft drink market and the soft drink industry has resulted

    in the great competition are

    (a) Impulse:

    Soft drink business not governed by brand loyalty.So that emphasis is not

    only on creating the market but also on retaining it.

    (b) Availability Factor:

    The availability of right brand in the right place, at the right time is main aim

    for winning consumers in soft drink business.

    Bottlers purchased concentrate, at carbonated water and some time

    sweetener, and deliver it to the customer accounts.

    Retail channel refers to business location that sells or serves the products

    directly to the consumers. Soft drink is not a product, which a person plans to

    buy before hand, but it is an impulse purchased. Lots of sale depends upon

    the strength of merchandising done at the point of sale.

    It all begin in 1977, a change in government at the center led the exit of Coca

    Cola which preferred to quit rather diluting its equity to 40% in compliance

    with the foreign exchange management act (FEMA). The first national cola

    drink to pop up was double seven. In the mean time, pure drinks, Delhi on

    cokes exit, switched over to Campa-Cola.

    The beginning of 1980 s saw birth of another cola drink thumbs Parle the gold

    spot people launched it in 1978-79,AS REFRESHING Cola by the mid

    eighties Mc Dowell and by the late eighties there was double cola, whichentered in India market (share 33%) with its gold spot and Limca brands.

    Later Thums up also started thumbs up. At the same time threat to the India

    soft drink was that of fruit drinks. In 1988, fruit drink market was valued at

    rs.40 crore &grew at the rate 20%.

    Coca Cola-cola entered India buying up to 69% of the 18000 crore soft drink

    market (i.e. Parle expert brand of Thums ups, limca gold spot, Citra &

    Mazza). Today the scene has changed making it a direct battle between two

    giant Coca Cola-cola & Pepsi. The picture will become clearer by looking at

    the Indian market shares in the beverages industry. One of the strongest

    weapons in coke company armory it has the flexibility it has empowered its

    people with .in coke every employee, may he be a manager or salesman,

    have an authority to take whatever steps he or she feels will make the

    consumers aware of the brand and increase its consumption. Thus coke

    believes in establishing and nurturing credibility of salesman & making

    commitment to grow business in accounts all these factors led to a high

    growth in the Indian market &constantly increasing market share.

    HISTORY OF SOFT DRINKS

    The history of soft drinks began with the end of the last century. Its history dates

    back to civil war in 91 SA in 1960. At that time people were suffering from many

    diseases. Problem at that time was how to cure all these disease, since no

    remedy was present at that time. It was a big question for American people. So in

    1885 Mr. John Paimwarlion who lives in Antonica made a drink and registered it

    as TRENCH WINE COLA. In the beginning this drink was made with mixture of

    cocaine and alcohol but later on it is

    named as COCO-COLA. A new brand named PEPSI COLA in the year 1887.

    10/70

    Around 1948 the first branded soft drink in the Indian market. This soft drink

    was named as Gold Spot. Before Coco-Cola entered the country to dominate

    the scene in 1950, Parle Exports Pvt.Ltd. was the first Indian company to

    introduce a lemon soft drink this drink was known as Limca and it was

    introduced in 1970. However before this they had introduced Cola pepine

    which was withdrawn in face of tough competition from coco-cola.

    In the year 1977 Coca-Cola left Indian market and this brought in an

    opportunity for various Indian companies to show their caliber. At this time a

    new soft drink was introduced by Parle products and this was colour. This

    drink was introduced with a mighty saying "happy days are here again". As if

    happy days went away with

    coco-cola. There was another company named pure drink, which introduced

    the soft drink named Campa Cola along with arrange and lemon flavours.

    Just after this many more companies entered the soft drink market. A soft

    drink name double. I had been introduced by a company Morden bakers.

    Another company Mohan meakins also came up with a Soft drink named

    Mary & puch up, Mc Dowell came with thrill.,. Push and Sprint.

    Previously there was no competition in the Indian soft drink market but with all

    companies coming in the Indian market a huge competition was place with

    college advertisements. But in the year 1988 Pepsi was given permission to

    sell its soft drinks in the Indian market by the Government of Indian. CocaCola also come backin the year 1993.

    Coca-Cola in India

    The coca-cola company entered India in early 1950, it setup four bottlingplants at

    Bombay, Calcutta, Kanpur and Delhi.

    In 1950, as were negligible companies in the Indian market therefore

    Coca-Cola did not faced much competition and they were accepted in Indian

    market more easily. The brand was accepted by all age group. The full credit

    must go to coca-cola for making soft drinks popular in Indian by end of

    1977.Coca-Cola had captured more

    than 45% of market share in India Then Coca-Cola left Indian following public

    regulations the company was required to Indianise or close operation come to

    an end in July 1977

    Coca-Cola come back in the year 1993 after liberalization and was launchedat Agra with the slogan "Old wave have come to Indian again". At the time

    parle was the leader in the soft drink market and had more than 60% of the

    total shore in soft drink. Coca-Cola joined hands with parle and to enter India

    after 17 years. By striking a 40 million deal with Parle. Coke almost made a

    clear sweep and made its good as " To become all time all occasion drink not

    a special treat beverage."

    HISTORY OF COCA COLA COMPANY

    In the year of 1990, over one hundred years after the soft drink was invented, the

    Coca- Cola company opened up a museum like building which was designed to

    be a tribute to its famous soft drink product. It is also said to be a tribute to the

    countless number of consumers who drink Coca-Cola. The world of Coca-Cola,

    as it is called is located in Atlanta, Georgia right amidst the tourist district. And, its

    tribute to the soft drink is because it is so popular that it is now served daily in

    nearly two hundred countries.

    Having the museum located in Atlanta is fitting because long before anyone had

    ever heard of Coca-Cola, a doctor by the name of Johan Stythe Pemberton, who

    was a druggist in Atlanta, mixed up his own concoction of medicinal syrup in May

    in the year of 1886, Dr. Pemberton used Africa.

    Kola Nut extracts and coca leaves, which are both strong stimulants, in his

    potion. The result was Q thick caramel colored syrup. The purpose of the potion

    was to be an effective tonic which would help a person's brain and nerves

    function better.

    Dr. Pemberton's partner, a bookkeeper by the name of Fran M. Robinson, came

    up with the name of Coca-Cola for the syrup from the names of its two basic

    ingredients. Dr. Pemberton poured some of the Coca-Cola syrup into a jug and

    took it to Jacobs Pharmacy in town. The pharmacy made Q fountain drink which

    12

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    13/70

    mixed some of the Coca-Cola syrup with plain water. The drink was sold to

    customers for a nickel a glass.True or not, it has been said that a customer came

    into the pharmacy one day complaining or a headache. He asked for a glass of

    Coca-Cola to be made with carbonated water instead of plain water and the

    carbonated version of the soft drink was the born.The first year, in 1886,

    Dr.Pemberton sold twenty five gallons of his syrup which earned him total

    revenue of just fifty dollars. By the next year, because of h is poor health

    condition, he began to sell of f his company. Five years later, man by the name of

    Asa G.Candlar, had acquired total control of the Coca-Cola became a patented

    product in the United States.Its popularly would not stay within the United States

    for long, though, because in the year of 1906, Cola-Cola was bottled in Cuba and

    in Panama. Bottling operations were soon start ed in Hawall the next year, then

    in the Phillipines, France, Belgium, Bermunda, Colombia, the Honduras, Italy,

    Mexico, Haiti, and Burma in later years. By the year of 1940, the famous soft

    drink was bottled in forty country.

    Advertising for the cola has included many product slogans including "The Pause

    That Refreshes", which was used in 1929, "Have A Coke And A Smile", which

    was used in 1979, and "Always Coca -Cola" which was used in 1993 when sales

    from this soft drink exceeded ten billion cases worldwide. In brief the historycould be defined under following headings-

    On May, 1886, Atlanta druggist Dr. John Styth Pemberton (former

    confederate officer) invented "Coca-Cola" syrup using melted sugar, water

    and other ingredients. It was marketed as a "brain and nerve tonic" in

    drugstores. Sales averaged nine drinks per day.

    Frank M. Robinson, Pembertons's bookkeeper, was he person who

    suggested the name Coca-Cola" which was chosen because both words

    actually named two ingredients found in the syrup. They were the coca leaf

    and the Kola nut Robinson spelled Kola with a "C" to look better in

    advertising.

    13

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    14/70

    The first year's gross sales were $ 50 and advertising costs were $ 73.96.

    The original formula included extracts of the African kola nut and coca

    leaves, both strong stimulants. "Coca-Cola" was one of thousands of exotic

    patent medicines sold in the 1800's that actually contained traces of cocaine.

    One summer, in 1886, a customer walked into a drugstore complaining of

    a headache and requested a bottle of "Coca-Cola" syrup. To get instant relief,

    he asked the "soda jerk" to mix up a glass on the spot. Rather than walk to

    the other end of the counter in order to mix it with cold tap water, the clerk

    suggested using soda water. The man remarked it really tasted great, and

    soon after "Coca Cola" was in fizzy, carbonated form.

    "Coca-Cola" was first sold for 5$ a glass as a soda fountain drink, at

    Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia.

    In 1888, Asa Griggs Canler bought the company from Dr.Pemberton. Later

    that same year Dr. Pemberton died by 1914, Candler had acquired a fortune

    of some $ 50 million. Baseball hall of farmer Ty Cobb, a Georgia native, was

    another early investor in the company.

    In 1891, Coca-Cola produced its first calendar.

    In 1894. Joseph A Biedenharn, owner of the Biedenharn Candy company

    in Vicksburg, Mississippi, first bottled "Coca-Cola".

    By 1903, the use of cocaine was controversial and "Coca Cola" decided to

    use only "spent coca leaves". It also stopped advertising "Coca-Cola" as a

    cure for headaches and other ills. In 1919, after his death, Griggs Candler's

    14

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    15/70

    family sold the interest in "Coca-Cola" to a group of businessmen led by

    Earnest Woodruff for $ 25 million. Woodruff was appointed president of

    "Coca-Cola" on April 28, 1923 and stayed on the job until 1955.

    The water business is far bigger than carbonated soft drink. It is leaving no stone

    unturned to scale up quickly tended to use a smaller size - 250ml to drive

    penetration. But not only does it cannibalize the 300ml. Float, it also offer very

    little margin at the current Rs. 10-12 pricing. But Coke's Kinley & Pepsi's

    Aquafina have to contend with Ramesh chouhan's Bissleri. Which is discounting

    heavily to build volumes in the low margin business say's Pepsi's Sinha- "We will

    refrain from discounting in the water business" Kinley's on other hand is fighting

    Bisleri tooth and nail.

    The fight has all the making of a Cola war. As coke and Pepsi have shown, there

    are no clear winner in such battle.

    Distribution Network

    A conceptual Approach:

    Creating a customer and creating a product do not complete the process of

    marketing, delivering the product to the customer is an equally important part of

    this process. This is referred to as "Distribution" in marketing parlance. As

    distribution affects a company's sales, finance and turnover. Therefore a brief

    explanation regarding various aspect of distribution is required.

    Definition:-

    It can be defined as the process of reaching the product to the consumers. It

    encompasses all the activities in the physical flow of products between producer

    and consumer.

    Importance:-

    34

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    35/70

    Distribution provides place and time utility to products. In other words it makes

    the product available at the right time and right places. It enhances company's

    sale and its competitive position. Distribution also helps in the process of demand

    generation. It helps in building up an effective cost reduction by judicious

    management. It has to be dealt by keeping various factors. In soft drinks there is

    an advantage that the shelf life of product is almost one year compared to other

    where it is just one week or few months. Further it is a sector where producer has

    to reach the consumer unlike others.

    Components: -

    Major component of the distribution network are as under:

    Distribution planning

    In plant water housing

    Transportation

    Field warehousing

    Receiving

    Handling

    Inventory management

    Order processing

    Stock accounting

    Communication

    Accounting

    35

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    Designing the system: - It includes the following steps.

    Find out what is desired by the customers.

    Find out what the competitors do in this regard.

    Find out the peculiar features and specific requirements.

    Keep the cost system cost effective.

    The system should be flexible.

    While managing a distribution network there are three key

    areas. They are as under:

    1. Transportation

    2. Warehousing

    3. Inventory control

    Transportation management involves decisions on:

    How much to move

    When to move

    Where to move

    Mode of movement

    While designing a warehousing system, it is necessary to raise and answer the

    following basic question relating to this flow.

    1. How many warehouses should we have?

    2. What should be the size or capacity of each of them?

    3. Where should we locate them?

    36

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    37/70

    Effective management of finished product inventory is quite essential for running

    a business effectively and profitably. Inventory strategies and decisions become

    particularly important in business where inventory costs form a sizeable part of

    total marketing costs.

    The following are the main issues involved in the management of finishing

    product inventories:

    1. Correct identification of the functions performed by the inventories .

    2. Working out strategies for keeping the inventories at the optimum level.

    3. Establishment of the right relationship between inventory functions and

    inventory levels and they are by deciding the optimum level of inventory.

    A Total System Approach to Distribution Is a Must

    Through, we have seen that the different functions of distribution such as

    transportation handling warehousing and inventory management. Interact

    constantly with one another. As the functions are interdependent, the cost there

    of are also closely interrelated Very often one function subsides another. For

    example, if the firm is prepared to incur increased cost on transportation, it may

    be in position to reduce its inventory cost. This is so because under such a

    condition, the firm can use faster mode of transport and thereby reduce the level

    of inventory in the field warehouses. And the converse is also equally true.

    In the nature of things, the different functions of distribution need an integrated

    handling

    37

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    38/70

    This means that in the nature of things, none of the distribution functions can be

    handled isolation. They have no separate identities. They need a high degree of

    coordination and common direction. If the functions are scattered, in an arbitrary

    manner among different departments of the company without common direction.

    Control would get fragmented and effectiveness would be adversely affected.

    In fact under such a situation, the very objectives of distribution get fragmented

    and distorted. The different function would pull in different directions. The

    transportation people would go all out to reduce the cost of transportation

    unmindful of the effect of such a policy on other aspects; they would settle for

    less reliable and slower modes of transport; they would also report to bulk

    dispatches of the product to a few selected places instead of dispatching it to a

    large number of demand centers at greater frequency and in convenient lots the

    several locations with a view to maximizing customer services The inventory

    control people opt for the diametrically opposite objective , viz , minimizing

    inventories , whatever be the consequences ! In brief

    When the different functions are viewed in isolation, the tendency will be to

    reduce the cost of particular function unmindful of its consequences on the other

    related functions

    Individual functional costs are kept in focus, but the total cost of the distribution

    function as a whole is forgotten. Cost reduction becomes ' the slogan for each

    38

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    39/70

    function/department. Decisions are taken by each function in isolation, based on

    alternatives available to particular function sometimes; it even leads to a "penny

    wise, pound foolish practice. The ultimate result is that costs go up while the

    level of service goes down.

    Distribution Has To View As A Single Unified Task And A Single Integrated

    System:

    Because of the interrelations among the different functions and their costs, it

    would be necessary and desirable to look at the distribution job as a single

    unified system and optimize the efficiency of the distribution job as a whole. Such

    a approach will result in better coordination among the various distribution

    functions , remove the sub optimization in the system and enable the firm to

    achieve its distribution objectives the case.

    LINKAGE OF SALES & DISTRIBUTION WITH PERSONAL

    EXPERIENCE & FINDINGS

    Sales and distribution is a very important part activity of any firm distribution

    selected to searches the god and services to the customer so as to increase the

    proof it and sales of the company with out proper distribution the company does

    not achieved the desired goal of maximum proof it

    39

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    40/70

    As in my survey I found that there is a big problem of distribution so that the

    company lost the sales of some major out lets like cinema hall and mess so it is

    very necessary that company should considered on its distribution chance. I

    found that the distribution is very defective and not regular so that the retailers

    switch over the other brands like Pepsi, because they provide regular and quick

    supply to the retailers because of their good and effective distribution system. It

    is necessary that you have proper number of transportation vehicle and

    warehousing Communication so.

    Company must have proper number of trucks, warehouse, and effective

    communication with the distributors so that they supply the consumer's goods in

    tune without gap.

    SCENARIO OF SOFT DRINK IN INDIA

    Preference Product

    The history of Indian soft drink market is dated around 1948 'when the first brand

    named as Gold Spot was introduced in Indian market. This opened the doors for

    other soft drinks and Coca-Cola entered the market in 1950's with its brand coke.

    Then came the Indian companies in which the main was PARLE Pvt. Ltd. It was

    the first Indian company to introduce a lemon soft drink. In 1970's in competition

    40

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    41/70

    to the coke they launched a brand named Cola Pepino but it failed due to a tough

    competition from coke and had to be withdrawn from the market.

    Indian Government was also putting its efforts to introduce its own local drink to

    become self reliant , But in early 70's disputes started between Indian

    Government and Coca-Cola was to asked quit and the Indian Government

    launched its own drink at the Agri Expro 77 in New Delhi as 'Double 7' with the

    help of Morden Bakers.

    After coke left Indian Parle had no much in the market it introduced a new

    competitor left soft drink named THUMPS UP. This was Q substitute for Coca-

    Cola in the market with similar taste and colour. This drink took the place of Coca

    cola and very soon became very popular and one of the prominent share holder.

    There were other companies also which entered the market in which Pure Drinks

    launched Campa Cola along with orange and lemon flavours Mohan Makings

    came with Mary and pickup and the McDowell introduced thrill. Rucsh and Sprint

    later Parle became the leader in the soft drinks but after the introduction of Pepsi

    in 1988 the competition started and with the return of Coca-Cola in 1993 it has

    gained up due to modernization of society the market an 'the competition both

    increased and is giving a way to more and more improvement today Indian soft

    drink industry is well established and having a growth rate of 20% per year. The

    total market estimated for the year 97-98 is of Rs.1800 crores.

    41

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    42/70

    With improved economy bottles have to be popelled into expanding capacity with

    their bit time plans. With increasing demand the volume production is supposed

    to reach 1 million cases with ten years. To reach this target the Cola market will

    have to build capacity infrastructure and the bottles more easily available and

    more affordable.

    The Indian Coca Cola history date back 48 years ago i.e. the Coca Cola entered

    the early 1950's in Indian market and set their four plants of bottling at Bombay

    Calcutta Kanpur and Delhi. At that time there was negligible competition in Indian

    market and Coca cola soon captured the Indian market, it would not be wrong if

    the credit of popularizing the cold drink culture is too given to Coca Cola. This

    brand was soon accepted by all the segments and all age groups becoming a

    popular thirst quencher.

    But in early 1970's when Coca Cola market was high ( 45% to 50% ] in India and

    their were not Things started changing in 1977 when the Janta Party come to

    power for George Fernamdez the Coke controversy was an ideal issue to derive

    political mileage. It request Coca-Cola's competitor Parle for help to bottle new

    product. The product trails in parliament were successful and the political

    pressure to throw out Coca Cola gathered momentum. Coke was finally asked to

    quit in 1977 in spit of world wide reputation of being a unique secret formulation.

    With the opening of economy in 1991 the MNC's once again started acting in the

    giant Indian market with this coca cola also entered in 1993. It was launched at

    'Agra' with the oldwave coming to Indian again. At this time parle was leader in

    soft drink market and more than 60% of the total shareholder of soft drink

    42

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    43/70

    industry. Coca Cola joined hands with Parle to reenter with its full strength after

    17 years.

    By striking a $ 40 million deal with Parle, Coke almost made a clear sweep over

    the market to compete with the other MNC giant Pepsi Cola which was already in

    the market at that time. The aim of the Coke was to become an all time all

    occasion drink and not a special occasion beverage.

    This time the competition faced is tough for the company because it has the

    American

    giant Pepsi as main competitor but other companies like Cadbury Schwepper arealso

    there.

    3.4 Type Of Research

    1. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH: -It includes surveys and fact-finding

    enquiries of different kinds. The main purpose of descriptive research

    is description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present.

    2. ANALYTICAL RESEARCH: -Analytical research has to use facts

    or information already available and analyze these to make a critical

    evaluation of the material.

    LITERATURE SURVEY

    Prior to the field works, it was deemed important to study books on research,

    sales and distribution and about the coke and Pepsi. The fierce battle in between

    two was also an interesting feature of my study.

    3.5 Research Design

    Descriptive and exploratory research design has been used in this

    project. Descriptive research has been done by collecting information from

    different outlet such stocks; chilling equipment etc. Exploratory research has

    been done to work out various problems faced by retailers and other outlets

    47

    48/70

    3.6 Sample Design

    The sampling unit of the research has been kept as retail outlets engaged in sale

    of softdrink.The survey in areas of Gandhi Nagar, Purani Basti, Dakshin darwaza

    Ganeshpur, Kachehri Market, Bade ban, conducted by the under signed. I had

    tried to collect relevant data from all outlets in big area found operating at the

    time of survey. In total data from 300 outlets have been collected and analysed.

    3.7 Scope of study

    The scope for the study is very wide as I covered all

    departments profit for one year in all the field which is related with my study .I

    covered all the expenses of the industry and the find profit from that data which

    required a wide range of data and material from the market.

    3.8 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

    It is well known fact that constraints and limitations are bound to be present in

    any study do this also has some limitation as:

    The survey has been conducted only in few areas of Basti due to limited

    time.

    It is very difficult to make the people understand the significance of

    conducting survey.

    48

  • 8/3/2019 ROHAN KUMAR1

    49/70

    Some retailers or dealers did not want to say the actual sale of soft drinks

    from the counter.

    Due to shortage of monitory resources the project report does not reach to

    its

    perfection.

    We have conducted the survey only for 200ml. And 300ml. Glass bottles

    so it is difficult to find out the actual demand of Coke.

    The respondent may be biased or influenced by some other factor.

    Lack of retailers interest to answer the questions is also an important

    limitation.

    Information is collected only from retailers.

    The entry and exit of new/old outlets can increase or decrease market

    share.

    Data collection

    Data for the project have been collected from its primary sources. Filling of

    questionnaire has been made item of data collection. personal interview method

    has also been used for the same.

    Field work

    All 300 outlets from where data was collected have been personally visited by me

    f or survey. Questionnaire has been filled in f or each outlet.

    FACT & FINDINGS

    1. The Coca-Cola holds no. 1. position in the market with its mother brand.

    2. Its brand Sprite too holds a good grip over the market in comparison to main

    competitors of Dew.

    3. Thums-Up is having major market share as compared to Pepsi.

    4 People have tendency to switch over on other brand and because of duopoly

    (only two players are available in the market Pepsi and Coke) the competition

    is very direct.

    6. The number of Coke S.G.A'S is more Pepsi in terms of area and outlet.

    7. The demand of coke is high in comparison to Pepsi but because of shortage of

    Coke S.G.A's and poor distribution the retailers prefer to sell Pepsi.

    8. Total sale of Coke is more than pepsi.

    SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

    Although it is very early to suggest any thing to such a internationally renounced

    company like Coca-Cola having in the mature stat e of marketing yet for the local

    market, client distributors & retailers, based on the interactions & feed backs from

    various outlets, segments of customers I would like to suggest as under:

    1. Distributor should not be changed frequently because retailers deal with

    distributor only and its not easy for a new distributor to maintain goodrelationship with each established old retailer.

    2. Distributors should give importance to every outlet irrespective of their status

    whether big or small. In this regard they may be trained suitably.

    3. Distributors should disclose schemes provided By the Company to each and

    every outlet without discretions.

    4. Distributors should replace the defective goods or damaged bottles

    immediately without any calling for explanations.

    5. Distributors should provide required flavours to the retailers to increase their

    sales.

    6. Distributors should give gifts prizes to the shopkeepers provided by the

    openers, wall clocks, sinages etc.

    in quantity under any scheme or 'on discount they must fulfill it as it affects

    company's goodwill.

    10. There should be nice gift items for the retailers showing the limit crate sale

    (limit as decided by company) at the end of the season. This could develop a
