Expert Answer
1) The public issue in this case was over-utilization of the ground water resources in its production and bottling. TCCC is using tremendous amount of water in manufacturing the beverages which is leading to utilization of the ground water resources to a greater extent for the local communities.
There is certainly performance expectations gap in this case. The expectations of the local communities in saving the water is very high, but in reality, there is a huge gap in the performance initiaties that the company has started and the expectations that various stakeholders have on the organization. The “performance-expectation gap” defined in the book explains the gap between corporate performance versus stakeholder expectation. The stakeholders’ concerns particularly the state of Kerala in India stated that the TCCC was depleting groundwater and producing products that contained pesticide residues.

4) TCCC reached out to the stakeholders. It used stakeholder engagement and dialogue by successfully conducting meetings with the stakeholders in order to determine the best way of solving the problem, and the crisis that the company and the world is going through.
5) Initially they were very negative with the accusations that were made by India. But subsequently, they came in terms with the situation and responded appropriately by following the issue management process and partaking in the stakeholder engagement to resolve the issue.
