Setting Price and Distribution

Place

Even though the headquarters of the Coca-Cola company is in the United States, the

company operates in other regions of the world which have been divided into separate self-

sustaining business operations. With a separate international division structure, the company is

able to realize the smooth and seamless undertaking of its day to day activities. The five

continental divisions of the company include Eurasia & Africa Group, Latin America Group,

Europe Group, Pacific Group, and the North America Group. Each division is headed by a vice

president who is responsible for the operation of the subdivisions under their continental

divisions.

Pricing Strategy

The tight competition experienced in the soft drink industry makes it necessary for the

Coca Cola company to develop an effective pricing strategy to enable it to realize the desired

outcomes. According to (), the Coca-Cola company utilizes the cost-based framework for the

first Coke. This means that the prices of the final product are determined by the costs that the

company incurs in producing the soft drinks and offering it to the final consumers. The strategy

presents an opportunity for the company to reduce the prices of its products when it realizes a

decrease in its production costs. Also, the company utilizes a psychological pricing strategy to

realize the set pricing goals and objectives (Okwara & Iwuoha, 2019). For instance, instead of

setting the prices of a 2-Litter Original Coke is $2.00, they make the prices $1.99 which makes

the customers feel that the prices of the soft drink are below $2. The result is that the company is

has been able to realize an increase in the sales volumes thus contributing to the increased

margins for the enterprise in its local and international operations.
