 Key Success Factors. . .
The Coca-Cola Company is one of the largest, most successful and most
widely recognized corporations in existence. Coca-Cola is a dominating
force in the beverage industry and sets a very high standard of competition.
Research shows that its trademark is recognized by over 94% of the world’s
population. There are many factors contributing to Coca-Cola’s success,
however, it is believed that their key success factors are Marketing,
Innovation, and Globalization.

Marketing
Coca-Cola is seen as one of the founding fathers of the modern day
marketing model. They were among the pioneers of advertising techniques
and styles used to capture an audience. Through its intense marketing
campaigns, Coke has developed an image that is reflected in what we think
of when we buy Coke and what we associate with drinking Coke. This
image has been subconsciously installed in our brain by the advertising
campaigns that show Coca-Cola associated with “good times.”

Innovation
Coca-Cola has been able to survive and grow in an ever-changing market
because of its ability to systematically innovate and deliver new products.
Coca-Cola began to employ a strategy referred to as “play to win
innovation.” The company began operating in a decentralized environment
that was unfeasible in previous years. Now Coca-Cola offers nearly 400
different products in and is still dominating the beverage industry. This is
made possible by the company’s ability to innovate and adapt to changing
markets,

Globalization
Today’s big business takes place on a global scale, and Coca-Cola is no
exception. Technology is continually changing business, and these constant
changes have been making it more feasible and profitable for businesses to
expand their operations globally in order to serve all different types of
diverse markets around the world. This global view is reflected in Coke’s
recent “I’d like to teach the world to sing” commercial. Coca-Cola is taking
advantage of the large revenue opportunities made possible by participating

in a global market and now offers products in 200 countries around the
world.
