Lessons From PastLessons From PastNew Coke
“There is a twist to this story, which will please every humanist and will probably keep Harvard professors puzzled for years," said Keough (President & COO) at that July 11th press conference. "The simple fact is that all the time and money and skill poured into consumer research on the new Coca-Cola could not measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment to original Coca-Cola felt by so many people.”
Coke spent over $4 million and came close to losing their business altogether just to learn the lessons of New Coke, all of which can be summed up in the advice of Polonius to his son, Laertes, in Act I, Scene III of Shakespeare’s Hamlet:
This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. *
