Throughout the 20th century, the company enjoyed high sales and commanded more than half of the world carbonated drinks market. Most of the sales were received from the four major sugary drinks; Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite and Diet Coke (Sharf, 2014). However, with the turn of the 21st century, the company faced a declining market share due to the changing tastes and preferences among consumers. Today, most of the people prefer consuming more health- oriented soft drinks and bottled water as opposed to sugary beverages.

I am hoping that through analytics, I will help the organization rise from its current predicament hence increase its sales and market share in the global soft drink market. Carande, Paul & Traci (2017) stated that analytics is an essential tool that helps in creating value in the business since it provides a holistic view of the market conditions, consumer needs and their preferences. Also, analytics helps in effective risk mitigation and bringing together hard facts from the balance sheet and qualitative evidence such as consumer preferences, product innovation and the company’s geographical footprint. This offers a clear understanding of what drives value in a company and how to manage the value (Moreno, 2017).
