PepsiCo Strategic Plan

Summary

PepsiCo is the largest food and beverage business in the United State (PepsiCo, 2012).

They own many top leading brand name snack foods and beverages, of which 22 of them bring

in over one billion dollars in annual sales each (PepsiCo, 2013). Some of these popular brands

include Pepsi-Cola, Frito-Lay, Tropicana, Quaker, and Gatorade (PepsiCo, 2013). Along with

being the number one food and beverage business in the United States, PepsiCo is the second

largest food and beverage company in the world (PepsiCo, 2012). PepsiCo products can be found

in over 200 countries around the world (PepsiCo, 2013). The sale of snack foods accounts for

more than half of PepsiCo’s total revenue made (Wikinvest, 2013). Of PepsiCo’s total revenue,

about 48% of total sales come from international sales (Wikinvest, 2013). PepsiCo’s Total

Revenue for the year 2012 was 65 billion dollars which was slightly down from 2011’s Total

Revenue which was 66 billion dollars (LexisNexis Academic, 2013). In 2012, 35% of PepsiCo’s

net revenue came from emerging and developing markets which is up 11% from just six years

ago (PepsiCo, 2012). Some of these emerging and developing markets include many Asian-

Pacific countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand of which PepsiCo is ranked within

the top five of snack and beverage companies (PepsiCo, 2012). PepsiCo is predicting that the

Asian-Pacific market will become one of its largest markets over the next several years despite

the fact that their Asia, Middle East, and Africa division only accounts for about 10% of their net

Revenue for 2012 (PepsiCo, 2012). Because of this, PepsiCo is investing heavily in the Asian-

Pacific market (PepsiCo, 2012).

Because of the fact that Asian-Pacific countries, to include China, South Korea, Japan,

Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, just to name a few, have such huge potential for growth

there is a great strategic opportunity within this region. As of March of 2012, PepsiCo has

formed an alliance with Tingyi (Cayman Islands) Holding Corp. (PepsiCo, 2012). Tingyi is a

well-known food and beverage company within China and the Asian-Pacific region (PepsiCo,

2012). This deal allowed Tingyi’s beverage subsidiary to become PepsiCo’s franchise bottler in

China (PepsiCo, 2012). In October of 2012, Tingyi and PepsiCo announced the opening of a new

beverage plant in Zhengzhou China, which will provide for western and central China (PepsiCo,

2012). Besides being a beverage company, Tingyi also sells processed food and snacks in China

under the brand name Master Kong (PepsiCo, 2012). With a further alliance, PepsiCo and

Master Kong can form a strategic partnership. This partnership would allow the Master Kong

subsidiary to become another PepsiCo franchise and manufacture and sell snack foods under the

PepsiCo name. PepsiCo would benefit from Master Kong’s manufacturing and distribution

facilities while Master Kong would benefit from PepsiCo’s product line, brand name, and

resources. This strategic plan will benefit both parties involved and help increase PepsiCo’s

Asian-Pacific market share.

History

PepsiCo gets its humble beginnings back in the 1890s when Caleb D. Bradham (Doc

Bradham) created a new kind of cola drink (PepsiCo, 2001). With the encouragement of some

friends, Doc Bradham was convinced to sell his new cola concoction commercially (PepsiCo,

2001). It was not until years later that the cola became known as Pepsi Cola (PepsiCo, 2001).

PepsiCo was not a company yet but Pepsi- Cola was slowly growing. Following the successful

method of Coca Cola, Doc Bradham started selling the Pepsi syrup to pharmacies and started

bottling his product for consumers (PepsiCo, 2001). Over the next several of decades the Pepsi

Cola Company grew and shrank with World War One and the Great Depression until it found its

self in the hands of a businessman named Charles G. Guth, who owned a candy and fountain

store and recently had a falling out with Coca Cola (PepsiCo, 2001). Mr. Guth took Pepsi from a

small cola company and grew it into an international business by introducing it to Canada and

Cuba with the financial and labor support of his partner Mr. Loft (PepsiCo, 2012). Year passed

and Pepsi continued until 1965 when Pepsi joined forces with the Frito-Lay Company and

became PepsiCo Incorporated (PepsiCo, 2001). Over the next several years PepsiCo continued to

merge with, or take over other companies. In 1977 they took over Taco Bell, in 1978 they took

over Pizza Hut, and in 1986 they took over Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) (PepsiCo, 2001). In

1997 the three companies split off from PepsiCo to form their own company (PepsiCo, 2001).

This practice of taking over, partnering up with, or creating an alliance with other companies is a

practice PepsiCo still uses today. Such an example can be seen in PepsiCo’s most recent alliance

with a Chinese company, Tingyi Holding Corp. Tingyi is a leading food and beverage company

in China (PepsiCo, 2012). Tingyi started of selling instant noodles in China back in 1992 under a

brand name called Master Kong (PepsiCo, 2012). Currently Master Kong is one of China’s most

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

5 | P a g e

recognizable brand names, and ranked by TNS, a market research firm, to be Chinas second most

valuable brand (Wexler, 2011). Continuing with what PepsiCo has done over there many years

they has been around, further deepening their alliance with Tingyi and their subsidiaries can only

increase PepsiCo’s position within the Asian-Pacific market place.

Vision

PepsiCo’s vision is to “continually improve all aspects of the world in which we operate

– environmental, social, economic – creating a better tomorrow than today,” according to

PepsiCo’s vision statement (PepsiCo, 2013, Para. 3).

PepsiCo’s alliance with Tingyi is already improving the world in which they operate in.

With the construction of a new 24,000 square meter beverage plant in Zhengzhou China,

PepsiCo and Tingyi have created thousands of jobs in the area (PepsiCo, 2012). There new

beverage plant was also constructed in accordance with the criteria set by the Leadership in

Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) (PepsiCo, 2012). This new environmentally friendly

manufacturing facility falls in with the vision set by the PepsiCo Company, and will be the gold

standard to reach for when furthering alliances to increase their market share within the Asian-

Pacific region over the next several years.

Mission Statement

PepsiCo’s mission, according to PepsiCo, “is to be the world’s premier consumer product

company focused on convenient foods and beverages. We seek to produce financial rewards to

investors as we provide opportunities for growth and enrichment to our employees, our business

partners, and the community in which we operate. And in everything we do, we strive for

honesty, fairness, and integrity.” (PepsiCo, 2013, Para. 2)

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

6 | P a g e

PepsiCo’s strategic plan to further increase its snack food market share within the Asian-

Pacific countries follows the mission set by PepsiCo. It seeks to increase its market share within

the Asian-Pacific region. It seeks to increase sales and revenue for its shareholders along with

providing for its employees. Finally, it seeks to create an environment of fairness and respect

with its partners and the community it touches.

Corporate Values

PepsiCo strives to be a socially and environmentally responsible company and holds this

philosophy deep within its corporate values (PepsiCo, 2013). What this means is that PepsiCo is

committed to sustained growth, empowering people, and being a trusted and responsible

company (PepsiCo, 2013).

With the implementation of its strategic plan, PepsiCo hopes to empower people to be

able to not only choose snack that taste great, but are great for you by further introducing its vast

line of snack food products to the Asian-Pacific region. With its alliance of Tingyi’s subsidiary

Master Kong, PepsiCo will further be able to create an environment of sustained growth with it

introduction of popular snack foods. With socially responsible business practices, PepsiCo will

be able to become a publicly trusted brand name within the region with will benefit PepsiCo and

its partner Tingyi.

Business Objectives

The objective of PepsiCo is to increase its market share of its brands among the global

market. Increase revenue and profitability for its shareholders through innovative practices and

new markets. Lastly, help create a better world through its ethical business practices and

environmentally impact. These objectives can already be seen within the company based on its

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

7 | P a g e

actions. With their alliance with Tingyi, PepsiCo is able to produce its beverages and have them

bottled in Tingyi’s LEED certified bottling plant which will provide Pepsi Beverages to western

and central China (PepsiCo, 2012). This is, of course, not the only LEED certified bottling plant

that Tingyi has in the country. Currently Tingyi has four LEED certified bottling plants within

China (PepsiCo, 2012). This partnership with Tingyi is advantageous because it helps PepsiCo

maintain its objective and retain brand notoriety.

PepsiCo plans to continue with its present strategy of partnering up with well-established

companies in the beverage and food industry. Not only does PepsiCo benefit from the

knowledge and experience already obtained within these established companies, but they get a

great advantage because distribution channels are already established. By partnering up with

Tingyi’s snack food subsidiary Master Kong, PepsiCo will be able to open itself up to new

markets that are already well aware of the Master Kong brand name. PepsiCo will also be able to

take advantage of the distribution chain that Master Kong has spent over twenty years

establishing all over Asia. Furthermore, PepsiCo will be able to take advantage of all of Tingyi’s

and Master Kong’s production and distribution facilities so it can distribute its product all over

the Asian-Pacific Region. This will be how PepsiCo plans on interweaving its strategic plan with

established and approved practices it already has in place.

Key Strategies

PepsiCo’s current market share within the Asian-Pacific countries is abysmal.

Apparently, only about 10% of PepsiCo’s net revenue comes out of the AMEA region and that

also includes both Africa and the Middle Eastern countries (PepsiCo, 2012). With the Savory

snack market in the Asian-Pacific region having total revenue of over 20 billion dollar in 2011,

PepsiCo should be able to claim more revenue from the region (Savory Snacks Industry Profile:

Asia-Pacific, 2012). Furthermore, processed snacks and potato chips accounted for 57.2% and

23.5% of the total markets revenue respectively (Savory Snacks Industry Profile: Asia-Pacific,

2012). With only about 6.5 billion dollars in revenue coming out of AMEA, which includes both

snack foods and beverages, it is imperative that PepsiCo follows these key strategies to gain

more of the Asian-Pacific market share.

The first key strategy is for PepsiCo to do what it does best which is form more

partnerships. In the past few years PepsiCo has been able to form an alliance with a well-known

Chinese food and beverage company called Tingyi. This alliance franchises out PepsiCo’s

bottling and distribution to a subsidiary beverage company of Tingyi (PepsiCo, 2012). Tingyi

also has a subsidiary snack food companies that is well known all over Asia for its noodles and

other snack foods (PepsiCo, 2012). Master Kong, the subsidiary company, could be quite

beneficial to PepsiCo’s snack food division just like Tingyi is beneficial to PepsiCo’s beverage

division. PepsiCo should form another alliance with Tingyi’s snack food subsidiary building off

the back of the previous alliance. Within the first year PepsiCo should form an alliance with the

Master Kong Corporation. PepsiCo will have to contribute a 5% indirect equity interest into the

Master Kong Corporation with an option to increase its indirect holdings to 20% within five

years. Master Kong will gain franchise right to PepsiCo’s snack food brands like Frito Lay and

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

10 | P a g e

Quaker. Master Kong will also be able to work closely with PepsiCo’s research and development

facility in Shanghai (PepsiCo, 2012).

The second key strategy is for PepsiCo to use its alliance with Master Kong, along with

its Research and Development Facility and marketing teams, to better determine what products

the Asian-Pacific market likes along with what culturally specific changes should be made to

existing products. This research will be invaluable to PepsiCo because it will provide an in-depth

look into the Asian-Pacific market. PepsiCo can then work with Master Kong to weed out

product that under performs and create new product that suits the Asian-Pacific market.

The third key strategy is for PepsiCo to market its product and brand name through

endorsements, advertising, special events, and charitable contributions. This will not only make

PepsiCo’s brands better known, but is will create notoriety for the company as a whole. PepsiCo

should mainly focus its advertising to largely populated areas for maximum exposure.

The final key strategy for PepsiCo, with the Master Kong Corporation, is to create

manufacturing and distribution hubs. By creating one hub in Zhengzhou, PepsiCo and Master

Kong could share resources with the Tingyi bottling plant already there and provide product to

China. By creating a second hub in Guangzhou, they could produce and distribute product all

across Asia due to the fact that Guangzhou is a Southern Chinese port city.

Major Goals

Being the world’s second largest food and beverage company is a mighty goal to achieve

for any company, let alone PepsiCo (PepsiCo, 2012). Over PepsiCo’s many years they have

strived to be the best food and beverage company in the world. With such a large market, like

that in Asia, PepsiCo has to find a way to insert itself and succeed or else it risks losing what it

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

11 | P a g e

worked so hard to achieve. PepsiCo’s strategic goal should be to create an alliance with Tingyi’s

subsidiary, Master Kong Corporation. Its goal should be to work out a partnership that builds

further upon the wonderful relationship PepsiCo has been able to build with Tingyi. This

partnership will not only benefit PepsiCo through granting it access to a company with well-

established manufacturers and distributors, but will also benefit Master Kong by franchising out

the production of some of PepsiCo’s billion dollar brands.

A second major goal for PepsiCo is to hone its product line for the Asian market. One

thing businesses must learn when they are working on a global level is that not all products

translate to other cultures. What may work in one country may not work in another. By studying

the Asian-Pacific market PepsiCo can create products that the customer really likes. Maybe Cool

Ranch Doritos do not do so well in South Korea, but a new seafood flavor is a hit. By

continuously examining their product they will be able to better produce what the customer

wants and increase market share.

The third major goal for PepsiCo is to win over the hearts and minds of the Asian-Pacific

population thus improving brand recognition and corporate notoriety. Although advertising is an

effective way of getting a brand’s name out there, it is through events and charitable

contributions that will make a long lasting impression upon the public. If enough of the public

has a positive opinion of a company, whether customer or not, the company benefits, and that is

the goal PepsiCo hopes to achieve within Asia.

The final major goal for PepsiCo is to centralize its production and distribution into two

major locations. Do to the fact that snack foods have a longer shelf life than fresh food, the

ability to ship them longer distances provide less of a problem. By having one production facility

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

12 | P a g e

in Zhengzhou, PepsiCo and Master Kong can better utilize resources that already exist with

Tingyi’s Pepsi bottling plant. By having a second production facility in Guangzhou, PepsiCo and

Master Kong can take advantage of the sea port that exist for the transport of product throughout

Asia along with its general location to large populations and Southern Asia.

Strategic Action Programs/Strategic Actions

For the strategic plan to be enacted the first thing that must be done is to form a mutually

beneficial partnership, or alliance, with Tingyi’s snack food subsidiary Master Kong. Because

this new partnership bears a lot of similarity to the deal previously reached with one of Tingyi’s

other subsidiary, it is reasonably safe to assume that the new partnership will share a similar cost

do to the fact that the both partnership are with companies of a similar scope. The cost of

PepsiCo’s 5% indirect equity interest in Master Kong is expected to be roughly 180 million

dollars after taxes, or roughly about 0.11 cents per share. For this alliance to go through Tingyi’s

shareholders must first approve of the deal by voting on it. Once that has passed, PepsiCo’s

partnership must get regulatory approval from the Chinese government (PepsiCo, 2012). This is

standard with any foreign corporation seeking to form a partnership with a Chinese company.

The time frame for this part of the whole strategic plan to be enacted is one year.

After an alliance has be agreed upon, shareholders have approved, regulators have given

their blessing, and Master Kong has started producing and distributing PepsiCo’s product, a

greater amount of research will be put into PepsiCo’s Asian products. This research will be used

to help determine how to cater PepsiCo’s products to the Asian-Pacific consumer market.

PepsiCo’s marketing and product research for the region will see an increase of 10% for the first

year there products are being produce and distributed by Master Kong, and 2% for the next four

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

13 | P a g e

years after that. This should provide adequate resources for the marketing and development team

to quickly gain a better understanding of the Asian-Pacific snack food market.

For the strategic plan of increasing the Asian-Pacific market share to succeed, PepsiCo

must make their name known to their customer. PepsiCo’s name recognition is not as great as

some of its largest competitors like Coca-Cola (Wikinvest, 2013). PepsiCo did have great

success with its “Bring Happiness Home” campaign video that celebrated the Chinese New Year

(PepsiCo, 2012). It was estimated that over 700 million people viewed this video of a family

reuniting for the holiday (PepsiCo, 2012). Advertising like this will go far in greatly increasing

brand recognition. Another way to endear PepsiCo into the hearts and minds of its customer is

through charitable contributions and actions. PepsiCo should sustain the same level and quality

of advertising it has had with it successful “Bring Happiness Home” campaign over the next five

years. Along with quality advertising, PepsiCo will set up a 25 million dollar charitable fund to

be used throughout the region over the next five years. This will help promote a positive image

of the PepsiCo brand throughout Asia.

For greater distribution of products throughout the Asian-Pacific region, PepsiCo, along

with its partner Master Kong, should construct two LEED certified production hubs. One hub

should be in Zhengzhou and the other in Guangzhou. The Zhengzhou plant will be able to work

with Tingyi’s bottling plant to share resources like warehouses and distribution route because

PepsiCo’s beverages and snack foods complement each other and usually end up going to the

same locations. The other production and distribution hub will be located in Guangzhou because

it is a large manufacturing city with a sea port, which is located in Southern China, and would be

perfect for the distribution of product throughout the Asian-Pacific region. Guangzhou is in

relatively close proximity to Taiwan, Macau, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, Philippines, and

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

14 | P a g e

Thailand, just to name a few countries, and would be perfect for distributing product to these

locations. On average these production facilities will cost about 350 million dollars each to

construct with a grand total of 700 million dollars combined (Wikinvest, 2013). This money can

come out of the 3.5 billion dollar fund PepsiCo has set aside to construct 10 new manufacturing

facilities and then leased to Master Kong, or they can be built through the partnership of the two

companies (Wikinvest, 2013). These two facilities should take no longer than two years to

construct. Through these strategic actions, PepsiCo’s strategic plan will be enacted.

Implementation

The implementation of the strategic alliance between PepsiCo and Master Kong will take

place once both parties involved are able to come to an arrangement, shareholders approve of the

deal, and government regulators sign off on the partnership. PepsiCo’s representatives will meet

with representatives of both Tingyi, and their subsidiary company Master Kong, to broker a

strategic alliance that is beneficial to both parties involved. At this time PepsiCo and Master

Kong will discuss which brands in PepsiCo’s vast line of snack food products it would like to

start of producing and distributing. Funding for the indirect equity interest in the company will

come from the revenue made for the current year. This will allow PepsiCo to move forward in its

strategic plan to gain a greater market share of the Asian-Pacific region.

Tingyi and its subsidiaries have over 70 production facilities all across China which

could be used for the initial phase in production of PepsiCo’s products. With the ultimate goal of

having two main production and distribution hubs, PepsiCo will have to cooperate with Master

Kong, and Tingyi, in the construction of these new facilities. It would be beneficial to both

parties to have modern, centrally located production and distribution facilities. To implement this

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

15 | P a g e

plan, land must be acquired, plans must be drawn up, and contractors/construction companies

must be bid out. This whole process of planning and constructing manufacturing and distribution

hubs should take about two years to complete, and cost roughly 700 million dollars.

For PepsiCo to create better brand recognition throughout the Asian-Pacific region they

will keep up there successful advertising campaign and set up a 25 million dollar charitable fund

to be used over the next five years. For the maximum amount of brand exposure do to charitable

contributions PepsiCo should focus its contributions to well-populated areas throughout Asia.

Almost 90% of all snack foods sold throughout the Asian-Pacific market come from

supermarkets/hypermarkets, independent retailers, and convenience stores (Savory Snacks

Industry Profile: Asia-Pacific, 2012). These channels of distribution usually lie within largely

populated areas or middle class areas. PepsiCo should focus its contributions to these areas by

helping local communities. Schools, hospitals, and parks are highly visible areas that could

create greater brand recognition. This will be where a majority of the 25 million dollars will be

spent.

PepsiCo will also implement strong market research into their product lines sold in the

Asian-Pacific region. PepsiCo already knows that processed snacks, potato chips, and nuts and

seeds make up about 98% of the snack food market (Savory Snacks Industry Profile: Asia-

Pacific, 2012). This does not, however, mean that snack foods that do well in the United States

will do well in the Asian-Pacific region. Different cultures have different taste. Through the

implementation of product research, PepsiCo will be able to give the market more snack foods

that they like and further increase PepsiCo’s total market share within the region. This will take

place after the initial partnership is created and help create and maintain successful products.

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

16 | P a g e

Measurement and Controls/Milestones

There are several milestones set up to measure the success of PepsiCo’s strategic plan to

increase its market share with in the Asian-Pacific region. The first milestone has to do with the

completion of the partnership with Tingyi’s subsidiary, Master Kong. It is believed that a 5%

indirect equity interest in the company will be needed which will come out to roughly 180

million dollars, with the potential option of increasing it indirect equity to 20% in five years.

Because this is such a large investment into a foreign company, PepsiCo’s auditors and corporate

lawyers will need to examine Master Kong to make sure it is a sound company to form an

alliance with and to ease shareholders concerns.

The next milestone set for PepsiCo is to see an increase in market share within the Asian-

Pacific Region. With access to Master Kong’s production and distribution lines, PepsiCo should

see a growth in sales of its products within the Asian market. It is reasonably safe to assume that

PepsiCo’s market share will increase by at least 1% in the first year to a total of 11% of the total

market share. Over the next five years PepsiCo’s goal for total market share should be 18%, or a

rise of 8% over five years. This growth in market share will be attributed to its partnership, its

advertising campaign, charitable contributions, and its research into making a more desirable

product.

PepsiCo’s final measurement and control come from its decision to construct two

production and distribution hubs. These two LEED certified building will be the central points in

which Master Kong produces and distributes PepsiCo’s products throughout Asia. The cost of

these two facilities is estimated around 350 million dollars each which is slated to come from the

3.5 billion dollar manufacturing construction fund PepsiCo has set up for the region. If the cost

PepsiCo Strategic Plan

17 | P a g e

of these facilities is greater than 400 million dollars, and/or Master Kong had great reluctance to

use these facilities in lieu of their own facilities then great consideration must be given to

abandoning the construction of these central hubs. With these measures and controls in place,

PepsiCo will be able to track it progress and make adjustments to better achieve its strategic plan

of increasing its market share within the Asian-Pacific region.
