Some Perspective
A Historical Perspective
“In well-ordered states, storekeepers and salesmen are commonly those who are weakest in bodily strength and, therefore, of little use for any other purpose.” - Plato
“Advertising ... is a meretricious endeavor in which psychological appeals to ‘fear’ and ‘shame’ are developed to bamboozle the public into purchasing essentially worthless packaged goods at bloated prices.” - Thorstein Veblen
5Ganesh Iyer
Some Perspective (cont…)A modern view
Marketing Philosophy: “Customer Orientation”
“I came here with a view that you start the day with customers, that you start thinking about a company around its customers” - Lou Gerstner, Chairman IBM.
“Why does the customer want to buy from me?” - Charles Schwab.
“Stop being a company with its face towards the CEO and ass towards the customer” - Jack Welch, ex-CEO, G.E.
Reaction to TQM--Reengineering--Competing for Future.

15Ganesh Iyer
Testimonials
The company is obsessed about Coke losing the No.1 slot.
Concern: “Over the last ten years we moved by barely 3 tenths of a percent, the competition gained 4 points on us.” Brian Dyson, Coca-Cola 1979
Confusion: “If we have twice as many vending machines, dominate fountain, have more shelf space, spend more on advertising, and are competitively priced, why are we losing share?” Roy Stout, Coca-Cola 1980
“I am not going to sit on my ass and watch that. To do nothing means I am forever condemned to not touching my product even though I know I can make a better product and move with consumer tastes.” Brian Dyson, Coca-Cola 1981
16Ganesh Iyer
Change to New Coke
1983 go-ahead to explore possibilities of reformulation.
September 1984 found a formula that beat Pepsi in nationwide blind tests by 8 points. » Even Pepsi exclusive drinkers preferred it.
Decision to not introduce the new formula as a line extension.
January 1985: Secret mission to introduce New Coke (after 200,000 taste tests).
17Ganesh Iyer
Change to New Coke
Taste Tests» blind taste tests » “what if this were a new Coke taste?” test » Direct test against branded and unbranded Pepsi» But did not disclose that the product that they were testing would
replace Old Coke.
Once again overwhelming preference for new formulation over Pepsi in blind taste tests.» A small minority (about 6%) will not get over the change. This loss
will be more than compensated by Pepsi consumers switching to New Coke.
» In focus groups when participants knew that it was new coke about one in ten participants get upset.
18Ganesh Iyer
Change to New Coke
April 23, 1985: Launch Press Conference in New York City.
Coke PR line: Product improvement, necessary change to follow trends in consumer preferences.» “the best just got better.”
Absolutely no mention that New Coke beat Pepsi in taste tests.
19Ganesh Iyer
Pepsi’s Response
Responded aggressively to Coke through advertising, public media
Re-framed the change as a product withdrawal.
Gave reporters list of questions to ask
20Ganesh Iyer
Pepsi’s Message
... After 87 years of going at it eyeball to eyeball, the other guy just blinked. Coca-Cola is withdrawing their product from the marketplace, and is reformulating brand Coke to be more like Pepsi. ...
There is no question the long-term market success of Pepsi has forced this move. ... Maybe they finally realized what most of us have known for years. Pepsi tastes better than Coke.”
Letter by Roger Enrico, CEO Pepsi-Cola USA, to employees and published as full page ad on the morning of the New Coke introduction.
21Ganesh Iyer
Consumer ReactionsA Surprise
Many consumers did not perceive the introduction of New Coke as a “product improvement,” but as a loss of Coca Cola, a sentiment that was reinforced by the media coverage.
Coca Cola’s toll-free number was flooded with calls from angry and deeply saddened consumers.
» “Dear Chief Dodo: What ignoramus decided to change the formula of Coke?”
» It was nice knowing you. You were my friend for most of 35 years. Yesterday I had my first taste of the new Coke and to tell the truth, if I had wanted a Pepsi, I would have ordered a Pepsi.
Some hard-core drinkers stocked up Coke worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
22Ganesh Iyer
Consumer Reactions
Organized groups of consumers that resisted the change received extensive news coverage. » “Old Coke Drinkers of America” laid plans to file a class
action lawsuit.
Many bottlers also resisted the change.
What was the problem? Why was this happening?
23Ganesh Iyer
Coke’s Retraction
July 1985: Comeback of original formula as “Coke Classic” announced.» Hype actually did the overall Coke brand good» “love you more if harder to get” syndrome. » Emphasis from brands to category (megabrand strategy).
January 1986: Coke Classic becomes flagship brand.
24Ganesh Iyer
What can we learn from this?
Even a marketer as experienced as Coke can misread its customers.
Two Questions When people consume Coke what do they really consume?
Did Coke really have a problem?

27Ganesh Iyer
How was Coke actually doing?
Diet Coke was the main reason for the decline in regular Coke» Coke is lighter than Pepsi
» Pepsi is sweeter than Coke
Should we be surprised that Coke drinkers converted more enthusiastically to the diet version?
Obsession on the Coke vs. Pepsi rivalry blinded management on the real reason for Coke’s decline.
It wasn’t taste----it was Diet Coke.
28Ganesh Iyer
The Pepsi Challenge
Despite the Pepsi taste tests...did Coke really have a taste problem?» consumers in mall prefer the taste of Pepsi (58%).
» only 67% of ALL consumers are cola drinkers
» Pepsi was stronger than Coke but with non-cola drinkers.
» depending on who you sample you can get very different results.
There is a market research lesson here.
Form of Marketing Myopia: Obsession about competition leading to a misreading of consumer behavior
29Ganesh Iyer
Homework
What if Coca-Cola made the product change gradually and did not announce the change?» The Canadian new coke experience
30Ganesh Iyer
Connection…1984
"There is a twist to this story which will probably keep professors puzzled for years…”
“The simple fact is that all the time and money and skill poured into consumer research on the new Coca-Cola could not measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment (connection) to original Coca-Cola felt by so many people." …Don Keough, President Coca-Cola.

ConnectionEmotional Identification
34Ganesh Iyer
Caselet: Apple ComputersIdentifying the competitor
Apple 1980s - a tremendous success story:
» Introduced computers that anybody could learn to use
» had a stranglehold on the US educational market, so kids got exposed to Apple much earlier than competitive products
» Better products and better advertising
» price premium reflecting the product advantage and the stronger loyalty of its customers
Where did they go wrong?
35Ganesh Iyer
What can we learn from this?
Apple didn’t understand who their competition was» Who did Apple think was their competition?
In fact, competition changed over time» Apple’s perceived vs. actual competition
Apple’s strengths» good at designing customer interfaces» Apple was superior because of its operating system and
software.
What was the best way to leverage Apple’s strength?
36Ganesh Iyer

What do these two caselets tell us?
Coke misread their customers “emotional” value for the product.» Mis-read the emotional connection that customers had with
Coke.
Coke executives did not make the Coke brand versus Coke corporate distinction.
Marketing Myopia: Obsession about competition leading to a misreading of consumer behavior.
37Ganesh Iyer
