Risk Analysis at Coca Cola Company

Company Profile

Coca-Cola or Coke is a cola-sparkling drink sold in restaurants, shops, and retailer machines in over 200 countries. This drink is produced by The Coca-Cola Company. Coke is one of the best known and most extensive brands of sales. Its main rival is Pepsi. Coca-Cola was first introduced on May 8, 1886 by John Styth Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. It was he who first mixed the caramel syrup which became known as Coca-Cola. Frank M. Robinson, John's friend and accountant, suggests Coca-Cola's name because it believes that two C letters will stand out for advertising. Later, he created the name with oblique letters flowing, Spencer, and was born the most famous logo in the world.
Dr. Pemberton sells his creations at the price of 5 cents per glass in his pharmacy and promotes his products by dividing thousands of redeemable coupons to taste one free drink. That year he spent US $ 46 on advertising costs. In 1892, Pemberton sold Coca-Cola's copyright to Asa G. Chandler who later founded the Coca-Cola company in 1892.
Chandler is skilled in creating consumer attention by making various souvenir items with Coca-Cola logo. These objects are then subdivided into important sustainable sales locations. Innovative advertising styles, such as colorful designs for buses, decorative glass chandeliers, and a series of souvenirs such as fans, calendars and jams are used to popularize Coca-Cola's name and drive sales.

Risk Analysis and Solution

1.      Health issues
Consumers are getting smarter in choosing a product. They are currently very concerned about health. Carbonated beverages are one of the healthiest, less healthful beverages. Therefore there is a risk to CocaCola's company, as many consumers are starting to leave carbonated beverages.
So far CocaCola only focus on the business of soft drinks. As health risks arise, CocaCola must try to innovate to make new, healthier variations of the drink. Or open a new business branch.

2.      In some countries like India banning the sale of coca-cola
A company can not stand on its own. It needs government support also to make a company become successful and smoothly in running business activities. Coca-Cola was blocked by the Indian government's policy of banning the sale of Coca-Cola products in the country because in 2004, farmers in India protested against the Coke Bottling plant in India that caused the well water to dry.
CocaCola as a large company should have good CSR. Given this problem, CocaCola must improve the quality of CSR. CocaCola's existence can improve the people's welfare.

3.      The high price of raw materials
The high price of raw materials is a risk faced by companies as big as CocaCola. Because this company requires a lot of raw materials for the production process.
Because the price of raw materials is expensive, CocaCola must have good management in conducting its business activities, so that the finished product can reach the consumers and can benefit the company even though the price of raw materials is high enough.
4.      Difficulties managing all subsidiaries worldwide
Because CocaCola is a very large company, there are many complex risks Coca Cola may face. Company management system should be good, so that the risk can be minimized.

5.      Risk of exchange rate
More than three quarters of a profit and 71% of its growth is obtained outside the United States. Therefore, the company is very sensitive to the strength of the dollar.So when the exchange rate is benefit the company, CocaCola must utilize this moment to get the maximum profit.

6.      Risk of competitors
This risk is a risk faced by all companies in business.
To keep the existance of CocaCola, this company must be more innovative and must make a good branding. The goals is to make CocaCola tay superior despite having a competitor.
