Question:

1. Why might a country in Latin America or Africa resist Coca- Cola’s efforts to expand local sales?
2. Does the United States have a comparative advantage in soft drinks? Explain.
3. Knowing that smaller sizes have helped Coca-Cola increase sales and profits in India and China, do you think it should use the same approach in the United States? Why?
