Exercise 5C

What Strategies Should PepsiCo Pursue in 2014?

In performing strategic management case analysis, you can find information about the respective company’s actual and planned strategies. Comparing what is planned versus what you recommend is an important part of case analysis. Do not recommend what the firm actually plans, unless in-depth analysis of the situation reveals those strategies to be best among all feasible alternatives. This ex- ercise gives you experience conducting library and Internet research to determine what PepsiCo is doing in 2013 and should do in 2014.

Instructions

Step 1Go to the www.pepsico.com website and click on Media and then click on Press Releases. Read through the most recent 20 press releases.

Step 2Determine three new strategies that PepsiCo is actually pursuing. Identify three proposed strategies that you feel would be excellent for PepsiCo to pursue. Give a rationale for each of your proposed strategies.

There is no calculation needed in this one. My professor expects detailed answers and explanations. He doesn't accept a simple answer like these are the 3 strategies. He expects it to explain why the strategies would be good and exactly how they will benefit Pepsico in 2014.
