Abstract

Since 2010, globalisation has imposed a new view of the competitive environment in which competitors are not always direct rivals. On the contrary, as a result of alliances and agreements, certain firms can become mega-organisations that have the potential to change the long-term competitive structure of sectors (oversize economy). In the emerging oversize economy, mega corporations (The Coca-Cola Company, McDonald’s, Apple, for instance) manage competition adopting firm policies focused on shareownership, co-ownership and stock splits. The Coca-Cola Company accountability for sustainability creates a range of outcomes including diverse beverage products; economic benefits such as jobs, taxes paid and community investment; ecosystem impacts and initiatives; and customer and shareowner value.
