Maybe many people know that the original coca cola is a kind of liquid that salted in some pharmacies, but do you want to know how does it become today's most famous soft drink?
What we also interested in is how the decision of starting the cross-country business into China was made. In about 1928, China was still not a perfect market for foreign companies. Why did Coca-Cola wanted to set factories in Shanghai and all the difficulties they met afterwards. People's reactions in China are very interesting and maybe determine the failure of the first try of Coca-Cola. In 1979, the company tried again. China was totally different at that time. Our country started the reform and opening-up policy. People started to accept new thing from other countries and that made Coca-Cola's moving to China a success.

Coca-cola coming to china is a part of a bigger globalization strategy.
China is a big market, which is beneficial to the development of the Coca-Cola globalization. China is vast territory and abundant resources, with a large population and a big market. And, after China's reform and opening up, there were more and more the Europeans and Americans came to China. Coca-Cola wanted to give those foreigners who come to China to provide Coca-Cola. Let those who relied on Coca-cola couldn't drink it because of leaving their countries. So the Coca-Cola Company decided to enter the Chinese market, developed enterprises.

There were some differences in business practices and customs. Coca-cola considered these. China is a big cultural country. At that time, china had just do the reform and opening up. China belonged to an arising country. Beijing as the capital of china, there were a lot of political and commercial activities. So it was with plenty of opportunities to Coca-cola. However, just at that moment, Chinese traffic was not convenient. It couldn't meet the demand of market. In American, people were used to drinking Coca-cola and liked carbonated drink beverage of cola type. In addition, china just went abroad, was lack of consciousness to establish a brand. Such as advertising to make people learn and love Coca-cola. But the American economy had a certain development, and was with a strong commodity propagation consciousness. Initially, Coca-Cola in China sales mode insisted on global consistent marketing idea, and adopted the way of direct sale to point-of-sale, for wholesale development was not positive. But, in practice, they found that Beijing had a regional particularity, Beijing as China's political cultural center, often had large domestic and international activities. Traffic control for Coca-Cola this kind of fast moving consumer goods transport, it was a great limit. At the same time, Coca-cola should in the short term create a vast retail network; it needed to input a huge amount of money. This must increase the enterprise cost, weaken the market competitiveness of products. So, Beijing Coca Cola LTD., according to China's national conditions quickly adjusted the marketing mode, in China implemented the "localization" strategy. It started to cooperate with the wholesalers, used wholesalers' network resources, transportation resources, channel resources, with the fastest speed, sent the products to each point-of-sale. Coca-cola reduced the cost and expanded the market sales, wholesalers also won the profit, and consumer can be at any place and any time to drink Coca Cola. In addition, Coca-Cola looked for special bottling enterprise. Such as COFCO Company that was with high degree of internationalization, the quite advanced operation and management idea and similar strategic management.

For China whether was a good market to Coca-Cola, different people had different views. Because of the political and economic background, every man insisted on every man's statement. On the one hand, some people agreed and affirmed 'China is a good market'. For example, the Coca-Cola President Martin hoped to export Coca-cola to Mainland China, and establish a Coca-Cola bottling plant. 'Coca-cola has strong interest to mainland China.' Martin said. Coca-Cola always waited for the opportunity; hope it was able to in the first time to enter the Chinese mainland market. At that time, diplomatic relations between China and the United States had just turn well, not fully improved. Some Chinese were hostile to the United States. TongZhiGuang asked him: 'Do you think now ripe for? Could the Chinese people accept coke?' 'We and the American soldier have no other contact, but we are producers, they are consumers.' Martin said,' Coca-cola just is a company which sells sweet taste soda to make money, no special place.' In fact, when Coca-Cola factories were in China, the most direct target was not Chinese consumers, but those foreigners who worked in China and visited China , especially the Europeans and Americans. Because that that generation of Americans father and grandfather grew up with drinking Coca Cola. For Americans or Europeans had been accustomed to no matter where they wanted to drink it. So, they hope to have Coca Cola at wherever be with tourists. On the other hand, some people objected Coca-Cola to enter the Chinese market; accused that China introduced Coca-Cola was 'nation-selling doctrine', 'the introduction of the American way of life', 'strike national industry'. Then parts of China appeared 'Against Coca-Cola tide'.

The Form Coca-Cola came into China
It has been a long time since the Coca-Cola Company entered the Chinese market. It is said that the famous company didn't set up a branch office in China until 1979. This year is meaningful to Coca-Cola Company. In this year, Coca-Cola Company came into China formally. This company signed a 10-year exclusive agency agreement with the China National Cereals Oils and Foodstuffs Import and Export Corporation (COFCO). It is the form that Coca-Cola Company entered Chinese market. At the very beginning, the products of this company are only sold to foreign guests at a designated place in a special sales way because it is a kind of high-end consumer goods during that period. The kind of soft-drink only appeared in some movies in Chinese people's daily life. Two years later, in order to occupy Chinese soft-drink market at a high speed, the Coca-Cola Company decided to build factories in China. The company planed to set up a Sino-foreign joint venture factory in China. In order to reduce investment risks and pressure from public and motivate Chinese enterprises to invest, the Coca-Cola Company decided to donate equipment to them and provide favorable cooperation conditions. In 1981, Coca-Cola Company cooperated with COFCO and North COFCO. Under this circumstance, the first bottling plant was established in Beijing. In 1984, different bottling plants were set up in ZhuHai, a city in Guangdong Province. The goods of Coca-Cola Company were allowed to sell to Chinese people.

Cooperating with Chinese enterprises is the main method for Coca-Cola Company to come into Chinese market. Because of the unique culture and policy of China during that period, the great US soft-drink company almost had no other options to come to this special market, which means it was the only option for Coca-Cola Company to enter Chinese market. 3 governments decided to maintain a cooperation relationship with Coca-Cola Company in the long term. There are SLIB, China International Trust and Investment Corp., and COFCO. In addition, a lot of small local enterprises are willing to set up a cooperation relationship with Coca-Cola Company. They work together to establish some bottling plant factories in China. By the end of October 2009, China Business Unit has established a total of 39 bottling plants. We can see from that cooperating with Chinese enterprises is the only way for this company to enter china and this method is effective. This Company entered china successfully.

Do you want to figure out that why Coca-Cola Company had to make this decision? This hard decision has a connection to the culture, history and policy in China during that period. To understand the different culture in different countries is a main principle for the global company enters the foreign, unknown market. In 1970s, china's political situation is unrest. It was pretty hard for foreign companies to enter Chinese market. The market was controlled by the Chinese government strictly. If foreign companies want to set up branch offices in China they must get the approval of government. This criterion has no change, which means you must obey this rule until now. During that period, the beverage industry in china is undeveloped. Bottling facilities were outdated and the equipment was quite old. They didn't have advanced production technology either. Most soft-dink were limited to the Chinese market, they couldn't sell their products in the nationwide. So it was more difficult for Coca-Cola Company to set up factories independently in China. Under this circumstance, cooperating with Chinese government and local enterprises was the only choice.

The largest beverage company around the world has the large system. Due to the worldwide product, the organizational structure is one of the momentous key elements. As the leading producer, Coca Cola holds the most of market of soft drinks. The organizational structure that the Coca uses is to create a unique brand and make it recognized by most of people. Besides it, the quality of the old as well as the new products, the marketing of beverage, the global availability and the ongoing innovation are the other strategies what Coca devotes itself to. What Coca Cola pays attention to is to build an organizational structure that shall deliver a stratagem which is global and local. The goal of the Coca-Cola is to be the leading provider. The products and processes have to be the highest quality. Coca Cola establishes six strategic priorities. The first is to accelerate the growth of soft drinks. The second is enlarging the range of products. Thirdly, grow system. Fourthly, invest intelligently in the growth of market. Fifthly, serve customers creatively and build businesses. The last is to drive and cost effectiveness. In my opinion, the move to a product team structure may lead to greater efficiency. The structure can be built around function, product and process.

The organization's hierarchy can be divided into several parts. The chairman of the Coca Cola leads the company into a new century. What Kent does is to organize the management structure and control the leadership. Different managers have various works to devote to. Diverse locations have the different stratagems. Entering the Chinese market is a good example. In the opinion of the managers of Coca, cooperation and access to the Chinese market are important. The China market is now at the right time and Coca Cola has had several recent successes in taping into the market of China. To understand the different culture in different countries is a main principle for the global company enters the foreign, unknown market. For China whether was a good market to Coca-Cola, different people had different views. Because of the political and economic background, every man insisted on every man's statement. On the one hand, some people agreed and affirmed 'China is a good market'. For example, the Coca-Cola President Martin hoped to export Coca-cola to Mainland China, and establish a Coca-Cola bottling plant. 'Coca-cola has strong interest to mainland China.' Martin said. Though the procedure in China could not have a favorable wind all the way, Coca achieves a success at present. This is the growth of Coca-Cola; it will make the future better.
People all over the world believe that Coca Cola is needed in many countries, both the developing countries and developed countries. In April 2007, the Coca-Cola discussed the performance indicators for the system with several bottling partners. The corporate responsibility reports from many of Coca's bottling partners are accepted for the development in next several years. Coca-Cola looked for the special bottling enterprise. Such as COFCO Company that was with high degree of internationalization, the quite advanced operation and management idea and similar strategic management.
There are three advices what I want to give to the Coca. The first is developing the charity to more countries and location which have been poor for a long time. The second is paying more attention to the health of consumers, and get the trust from the people all around the world. The last is that doing more for the environment and try to persuade people to protect the environment. The responsibility of Coca is the same sustainable as the power of its brand.
Conclusion
I think the coca cola company is a successful company. The leaders of the coca cola use the correct ways to entry international and specifically come into the china market. The leader of coca cola change different methods to cater to the current market. At the same time, the coca cola changes the shape of the bottles. The special shape attracted more consumers than before. The coca cola also create the appropriate methods for the Chinese market. Now the growing sales volume proves the correct methods the company did for the marketing. The coca cola company focuses on quality and the appearance of their products. The coca cola company cares for the employees of the coca cola. The Company provides medicinal services and good environment for the employees. The coca cola has the good cooperative partners to make the prefect products. The coca cola focuses on the drink brands. The exclusive quality for the coca cola is different from the other brands such as Pepsi. The coca cola's success is based on the company hard work and leader's wise decisions. When we are thirst, buying a bottle of Coca-Cola to drink is easy now. However, many people do not know when Coca-Cola was into China, it encountered many difficulties, almost was a long adventure. In 1976, China and the United States didn't establish diplomatic relations at ambassadorial level, the two countries established liaison office in each other's capital, and Coca-Cola intended to enter the Chinese market. But then China's political situation was unrest, Vice minister of foreign economic trade, chairman of the board of China import and export bank TongZhiGuang told US, entering the china was early. He explained that Chinese who were born after the founding of the China, only in the movie saw coke and Coca Cola in movies always relates with American army. After the Korean War, Coca-Cola image was not only one type of drink simply. The Chinese still could not accept Coca-Cola; this product represented the western life style. At that time, the Coca-Cola met some political diplomatic problems when entered the Chinese market. In 1978, China's political situation gradually better. Before the Coca-Cola bottling plant set up, since 1979, COFCO Group arranged sales by the way of consignment. Coca-Cola returned to the mainland Chinese market after evacuated 30 years, became the first foreign company in the mainland beside the Hong Kong and Macao. Coincidentally, at the same time, in another meeting room of the same hotel, China and the United States were holding rapprochement talks. The Coca-Cola Company used the improvement of relations between China and the United States to promote the Coca-cola development in the mainland of China. At the same time, Coca-Cola cooperation with China was in favor of the improvement of relations between China and the United States. After solving political problems of accessing to the Chinese market, Coca-Cola implemented 'localization' strategy to improve the sales in china. Initially, Coca-Cola in China sales mode insisted on global consistent marketing idea, and adopted the way of direct sale to point-of-sale, for wholesale development was not positive. But, in practice, they found that Beijing had a regional particularity, Beijing as China's political cultural center, often had large domestic and international activities. Traffic control for Coca-Cola this kind of fast moving consumer goods transport, it was a great limit. It started to cooperate with the wholesalers, used wholesalers' network resources, transportation resources, channel resources, with the fastest speed, sent the products to each point-of-sale. Coca-cola reduced the cost and expanded the market sales, wholesalers also won the profit, and consumer can be at any place and any time to drink Coca Cola. In addition, Coca-Cola looked for special bottling enterprise. Such as COFCO Company that was with high degree of internationalization, the quite advanced operation and management idea and similar strategic management.
The business philosophy of "localization" of Coca-Cola Company is the key to success. "Localized thinking, localized marketing" this marketing strategy combines geographical characteristics in order to make Coca-Cola more local. It also does things locally and tries to create products appeal to consumers constantly. For example: Coca-Cola used Chinese characteristics "Fu" as the Chinese New Year packaging. It combines Coca-Cola culture and traditional Chinese color together, so that Chinese consumers can easily feel like home; China's bid gold cans and the Beijing Olympics emblem Coca-Cola limited edition commemorative cans, indicating deep roots in the Coca-Cola with the Olympic and appreciated by the public.
2000 Coca-Cola China headquarters moved from Hong Kong to Shanghai. This makes Coca-Cola's business development in China maintain closer ties with China's development. Currently in China, Coca-Cola has become a leading soft drink manufacturers and operators. According to the 2002 CCTV survey shows that other drinks: Coca-Cola's market share, brand loyalty and preference degrees are leading, is China's most popular carbonated drinks.
Coca-Cola in terms of the procurement and use of raw materials, personnel hiring, or advertising, product packaging, new product development are able to fully reflect the excellent localization Thought Coca-Cola products, 98% of raw materials procurement in China, and 99% The employees from the local Chinese. Recently released by the Economic Observer newspaper and Research Center of Peking University Enterprise Case "2002 China's Most Admired Companies" Award, Coca-Cola once again been named the "Most Admired Companies" one. These awards and honors made where the Coca-Cola Company superiority and successful implementation of the marketing strategy of "localization". Coca-Cola business in China's rapid growth in China has become the world's seventh largest market in Coca-Cola. Since we have learnt something about Coca-Cola Company, we can find that this successful company is good at managing. In the class, we learnt that "Study the ways jobs are performed now and determine new ways to do them." is one of the scientific management principles. This principle means the manager tries different methods to see which is best. In 1970s, Coca-Cola Company tried a lot of methods to enter the Chinese market. Because of the special culture and policy of china, they chose to cooperate with Chinese enterprises. This decision was the best one which led them to enter China successfully.
