EXPANSION
Coca Cola is in more than 150 countries.
There are mainly two countries the company does not operate which as Cuba and North Korea.
Cuba is easier to expand to than north Korea due to the political tensions
Cuba is not stable politically.
Cuba's economy is controlled by the state.
The company is already present in more than 150 countries therefore; this makes it easy to look for the countries that are not occupied by the product. There are mainly two areas where the product is not sold which is in North Korea and Cuba. The problem with North Korea is that the country is not in touch with the outside world as the country is protected from outsiders. Cuba is an easier place where coca cola can expand.
The first factor to look at in Cuba is that the country is not stable in that the relationship between the United States and Cuba are not strong. Since the United States is the supplier of the coca cola syrup, the political tensions between the two countries will lead to a strain in the building of new relations and the expansion of the company may take time before the market is receptive to the new product.
The economy of the country is controlled by the state meaning that the rise and fall of prices is not in control of the company making the country a risky area to expand to.
The environment around the country is peaceful and this is a plus side as the external environment can affect the way in which the country operates.
