competitor
as a result of coca-cola dominating the world wide soft drink industry, competitors are left to dry. competitors are having a hard time keeping sales up when up against a monopoly of coca-cola and Pepsi products. competitors are after the same money as coca cola.
Subtopic
Government and regulatory authorities
the Government is put in a weird position when it comes to coca-cola. coca-cola has been denied from a few countries including Bolivia. government are affected by this because coca-cola is such a big company that large meetings are held, regulatory authorities have to go over the content of the product, the way its marketed( faulty transnational marketing in the past). the government receives all the tax revenue and possible kick backs coca-cola produces. if production is up, governments pay is up and if pay is down, so is the governments pay.( lowering GDP)
Subtopic
water/recourse industry
90% of coca-cola is made up of water. the world will be at a fresh water crisis if coca-cola continues to produce at their fast pace rate. water industries are affected because they feel as if its unethical to sell water to a company that only turns it back into sugar.
Subtopic
they are being payed based off supply product to the company but if the company goes out of business then the suppliers cannot provide them anymore therefore loosing a customer.
ethical issues
coca-cola has a long history of employee discrimination, abuse of workers rights and unethical product health standards.
Suppliers are interested in selling their product to a big business with a high sales rate meaning that their supply will be in a high need.
as long as coca-cola can get their product on the market, they do not care how badly employees are treated during production.
