Competition and incompetency in health beverages are the two main problems with Coca-Cola.
There is a need to introduce beverages that suits difference target audiences. Well in case of
competition considering the top most competitor ‘Pepsi’. These are the two manor companies in
the beverage industry. Let’s analyze both the companies in general. These two have been rivals
for over a century as per Ruback (1995). These companies have their brand recognition globally
but whereas Coca-Cola has been the largest manufacturer and distributor of these non-alcoholic
beverages all over the world. This company has been around in more than 150 countries having

Measure Maps
Rizzo Goal Inc. produces and sells hockey equipment, often custom made for online orders. The company has the following performance metrics on its balanced scorecard: days from ordered to delivered, number of shipping errors, customer retention rate, and market share. A measure map illustrates that the days from ordered to delivered and the number of shipping errors are both expected to directly affect the customer retention rate, which affects market share.
