Coca-Cola: An Analysis of Organizational Culture

Organizational Culture

As a group, members were able to identify through research that Coca-Cola

promotes a workplace or organizational culture that supports diversity. Being a global

organization which established different corporate offices around the world, its

reportedly inclusive culture was identified to be sourced from “seven core values:

leadership, passion, integrity, collaboration, diversity, quality, and accountability. Our

central promise at The Coca-Cola Company is to refresh the world in mind, body, and

spirit, and inspire moments of optimism; to create value and make a difference” (The

Coca-Cola Company: Workplace Culture par. 1). It was therefore emphasized that this

inclusive workplace culture that encourages diversity is crucial for sustaining leadership

in the global beverage industry through respecting individuals, valuing differences and

effectively representing consumers and markets where they transact business with in

various global locations (The Coca-Cola Company).

Effects of Organizational Culture

Through the organization’s culture, it was therefore revealed that among the

most effective gauge of success is their leadership in the beverage industry. According

to the report published online in CNN Money, Coca Cola ranked number 4 in the

World’s Most Admired Companies and number 1 in Beverages industry (CNN Money). As

revealed, the nine key attributes that made Coca-Cola number 1 included: innovation,

people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of

management, financial soundness, long term investment, quality of products and

services, and global competitiveness (CNN Money). These are therefore effects of support
to a workplace culture that values diversity and acknowledges the important contribution

of its people.

Team’s Performance

The team effort was cohesive and worked perfectly well from formulation to

implementation of strategies that ensured attainment of group goals. Team meeting

were either conducted briefly after classes or scheduled at Starbucks where division

and delegation of tasks and responsibilities were noted and progress on the project was

monitored. A team leader was elected to govern administration of other roles and

responsibilities and to provide direction and guidance as required. Through the

appointment of a team leader, every facet of group activities and responsibilities were

noted and followed up with respect to compliance against schedules.

There was actually very minimal conflict that emerged. All members were

responsible and mature enough to discern the need to comply with their respective roles

and responsibilities to ensure that the defined objectives were accomplished. In times of

minor disagreements, regarding conformity to common schedules, among others, these

were immediately resolved through negotiations and majority votes. The progress of the

performance of each member’s contribution was measured according to their set of

responsibilities that were initially distributed, as well as in compliance with attending

scheduled meetings. As such, everything worked out well and a cohesive and

successful output was generated.
