A headline on the home page of Coke.com reads “Battle for Everything.” It is a promotion for a film that failed at the box office — “Battleship.” It could describe the match the Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) has set to decide who will be its new chief executive. At least that is what outside analysts guess. Hidden deep inside the Coke site, beyond the promotions for the Olympics, is a press release that says:
Ahmet Bozer, currently President of the Eurasia & Africa Group, will be appointed President of Coca-Cola International. Steve Cahillane, currently President and Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Refreshments (CCR), will be appointed President of Coca-Cola Americas.
One of these people will become the CEO of Coca-Cola Co. when Muhtar Kent, who is 57, retires. That may be several years off — probably sometime around the 2020 Olympics.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
