sp;take-home sales. Coke’s overall market share has declined from 24.3 percent in 1980 to 21.8 percent in 1984. How directly this competition influenced the big change, only Coke executives know for sure. Coke says the new formula was discovered by accident when chemists were experimenting with flavor combinations for diet Coke. Since the “accident,” however, Coke has spent $4 million over four years in research on the new product, research that convinced the company that both taste experts and consumers preferred the new taste. The rest of the story is well known. People like their old Coke. In the first month of new Coke, 40,000 called the company to complain. Within a couple months the dissatisfied minority became a majority; sales of new Coke dropped 15 percent in June. Company leaders held a series of emergency meetings, then swallowing their pride, announced that old Coke would be brought back as “Coca-Cola Classic.” Although the sudden reversal was embarrassing, it may prove to be a lucky marketing move for the company. &nbs 责任编辑:zhaotingting 论坛精华
