 Coca-Cola and Corporate Social Responsibility

Review the article, How Coca-Cola Came to Terms with its Own Water Crisis.

After reviewing the article address the following elements:

1. Identify and discuss the CSR issue for Coca Cola.

2. Identify and discuss Coca Cola’s strategies to address the issue.

3. Discuss whether Coca Cola strategies resolved the issue and offer an alternative strategy you believe would help address the CSR issue.

Make sure the paper body starts with a summary where there is a statement of thesis (overview of the points to be made), continues with a discussion (or specific answers to specific questions), and ends with a conclusion. The seven specific sections should be annotated and have specific answers.

 

All papers should be written in the third person (he, he, it, and they). Make every effort not to shift to second person (you, your) as in, “When starting a company you need money.” Try to avoid shifting to the first person (I, we) as well. It is distracting to the reader and bad style to shift persons in a paper—students often do it in the middle of a sentence.
