The annual report of a company contains the information required for outsiders to assess the company's financial condition. In order that this is possible, a substantial amount of information must be gathered and presented in a format common to all companies. The official annual report document, the 10-K, must be filed by all public American companies, and many also include an informal annual report along with this document. This report will analyze the annual report of PepsiCo in order to better understand the company.

Thus, stimulation provides the realistic environment by allowing trainee to make mistake in a safe environment. The learning cycle is shortening because it provides immediate feedback.
However, the training through stimulation may be time-consuming to implement for employee operating heavy machines.

Computer-based Learning

Despite the benefits that organizations could derive from traditional training method, the computer-based training method is growing. The computer-based training method involves delivery training content through internet, WAN/LAN technology, extranet, and satellite broadcast. The report recommends that PepsiCo should employ both traditional training method such as presentation methods and computer stimulation method or computer online-based training method. With recent development in information communication technology, computer-based training (CBT) has continued to serve as a basic training method for employee. The use of CBT is growing due to the benefits that organization is deriving from CBT system. Typically, the cost of implementing CBT compared to the traditional training method is lower…...

Pepsi is vastly superior in terms of size and financial strength. Additionally, they would represent the vast majority of COC's sales volume. For COC, a strategic alliance with Pepsi may hold appeal as it would allow them to continue to build their company by giving them the financial strength to meet the needs of other customers. For Pepsi, a strategic alliance would have little benefit in terms of operations. There would be one potential benefits, however. One is that the Gallery brothers would still have a stake in the business. They are the main source of value in COC so there continued presence is essential. One caveat to that is with a large and stable customer like Pepsi they may lose their drive to create. Most of their major innovations have been responses to crises. In times of stability they have generally rested on their laurels, which would not…...

Enrico knew that, and therefore could rest assured that even when faced with a complete reorganization, his employees would accept the circumstances under which they would have to toil, and would, in the long run, excel!

Pepsico had a reputation for making essential decisions quickly and Roger knew that in order to maintain, and enhance that reputation a consolidation would have to take place. Currently, some of the decisions that had to be made, were making their bureaucratic way through the many levels of management, and days or weeks later, a decision would be made. This was not a healthy situation for Pepsico since many of their customers demanding much quicker resolutions. Another problem was that each separate division inside Pepsico showed wasted efforts by redundant employees. Human resources, accounting, payroll etc. were all separate entities for each division. These separate entities were the direct cause of duplicative efforts, costing the…...

Pepsi is making strides towards addressing some of the major challenges presented by the industry's external environment. The company's dual strategy towards increasing innovation has provided it with more and better innovation opportunities than its main rival, albeit less than smaller, younger firms. Pepsi's culture is more conducive to innovation and the company takes greater risks with business acquisitions in order to improve its product portfolio. In addition, Pepsi also has focused energy on growth in international markets rather than on bolstering its core products in the domestic market. Over time, this will provide Pepsi with strong diversification of income streams. Pepsi's demonstrated ability to operate outside of its core beverage industry also implies that the company will be better able to manage the threats faced by that business. If a sugar tax on soft drinks does through in the U.S., Pepsi will lose a lower percentage of its revenue…...

PepsiCo is the wold's lage snack and beveage company.

references and cultural mores to navigate. These challenges may not allow for a single strategy for all international markets but several strategies for aligning products and brands and manufacturing and distribution process to the local customs.

Each division needs to determine its market place strategies. For PepsiCo American Beverages, the management should take a defensive stance in the carbonated beverage categories. They need to defend and grow its market share against Coke-cola. At the same time, the non-carbonated beverage group should take a strong offense to expand PepsiCo's product offerings to grow market share. PepsiCo Americas Food division should maintain the status quo; it has strong market share in many categories and has perfected the design and launching of new products. PepsiCo International needs to focus their product offerings and cost control of its manufacturing processes. The international division needs to answer the flavors desires of many different cultures. Expansion into new markets must be implemented in a thought full manner: where does the manufacturing take place, what are the costs of transporting raw materials and finished goods and is augmenting the product lines to include new flavors profitable?

Recommendations

Phase 1: Senior management needs to force on the restructure of the company. It needs to ensure that the Latin American businesses successful assimilate into the Americas food and beverage business units. Additionally, the management should focus on the management process for tracking results in the three divisions and how the tracking segments reporting system will work and how decisions will be made base on the results.

Phase 2: Maintain the status quo in the food and beverage divisions. This includes continuation of cost containment and new product development. The assimilation of the Latin America business needs to assesses the potential synergies in purchasing ingredients, manufacturing of products and distribution processes and vendors. The international division should spend 2008 evaluating its performance by market. This analysis will identify areas of strengths and weakness, which need to be capitalized upon or improved.

Financial atios: PepsiCo
Financial ratios are great tools when it comes to the evaluation of the performance of a business entity. In that regard therefore, ratios are used by various stakeholder groups including but not limited to investors, suppliers, creditors, and even regulatory bodies. This text concerns itself with ratio analysis with my entity of choice being a publicly traded beverage company. For purposes of this discussion, I will concern myself with PepsiCo. PepsiCo regards itself "one of world's leading food and beverage companies…" (PepsiCo, 2013)

Key Financial atios

A financial ratio in the words of Moyer, McGuigan, ao, and Kretlow (2011, p. 70) "is a relationship that indicates something about a company's activities…" Various financial ratios have been developed over time. Some of the key financial ratio categorizations that could come in handy in this context include: profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, and financial leverage ratios. So as to enhance the relevance of…...

Edwards v. Pepsico
Company and Product Safety Issue

In the case of Edwards v. Pepsico, 268 Fed. Appx. 756, 2008 U.S. App, Mr. Edwards had three fingers cut off of his dominant hand while working on a bulk bag unloading unit (BBU) at his place of employment, Whitlock Packaging Corporation, Inc. (Whitlock). His lawsuit claimed that, under Oklahoma state-law theories of manufacturers' product liability and gross negligence, defendants were responsible for design flaws in the BBU and a failure to warn of safety concerns.

At trial, the jury learned about the BBU and the roles played by the various defendants. The BBU was designed for Pepsi-Cola Company, a division of Pepsico, Inc. (Pepsi), as part of a system for the production of ready-to-drink beverages bottled under the Lipton Tea name. Pepsi pressed for a hastened manufacturing schedule because it had acknowledged bottled tea as a profitable product. The BBU holds a 1,600-pound sack…...

He had also mentioned that it did not fit in with other business of PepsiCo. Thus it is clear that the CEO of PepsiCo knows the reason, but is not able to take the action, or is unwilling to take the needed action.
