Here is a brief introduction to Pepsi:

Pepsi is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending


machines throughout the world. It is produced by PepsiCo and was first
developed in 1893 by Caleb Bradham, a pharmacist from New Bern,
North Carolina. Bradham named the drink "Brad's Drink" and marketed
it as a "tonic" that could help with digestion and headaches.

In 1898, Bradham renamed the drink "Pepsi-Cola" and began to sell it


nationally. The drink was initially successful, but sales declined in the
early 1900s. In 1931, the Pepsi-Cola Company was purchased by
Charles Guth, who renamed it the Pepsi-Cola Corporation. Guth
invested heavily in marketing and advertising, and Pepsi-Cola sales
began to increase.

In the 1950s, Pepsi-Cola began to challenge Coca-Cola for the top spot
in the soft drink market. The two companies engaged in a series of
advertising campaigns that became known as the "Cola Wars." Pepsi-
Cola's advertising was often humorous and edgy, and it appealed to a
younger generation of consumers.

In the 1960s, Pepsi-Cola introduced a number of new products,


including Diet Pepsi and Mountain Dew. The company also began to
expand its international operations. Today, Pepsi-Cola is one of the most
popular soft drinks in the world. It is sold in over 200 countries and
territories and generates billions of dollars in revenue each year.

PepsiCo is a multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation


headquartered in Purchase, New York. In addition to Pepsi-Cola, the
company's other brands include Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Tropicana, and
Quaker Oats. PepsiCo is one of the largest food and beverage companies
in the world, and its products are enjoyed by consumers around the
globe.

Create more smiles with every sip and every bite. By creating joyful
moments through our delicious and nourishing products and unique
brand experiences."

This mission statement highlights several key aspects of PepsiCo's


goals:

 Bringing enjoyment to consumers: Delivering tasty and


satisfying products that create positive experiences.
 Focus on deliciousness and nourishment: Balancing enjoyment
with offering some level of nutritional value.
 Crafting unique brand experiences: Going beyond just the
product by creating memorable associations with the Pepsi brand.

embodies a more specific, inferred mission within the broader company
goals. This inferred mission for Pepsi could be:

 Providing a refreshing, enjoyable beverage experience.


 Offering a youthful, fun, and accessible drink option.

3.3 Vission

Similar to the situation with mission, Pepsi itself doesn't have a publicly
announced vision statement. PepsiCo, however, has a company vision
that encompasses all its products and brands, including Pepsi. Here's the
PepsiCo vision statement:

"To be the global leader in convenient foods and beverages by


winning with purpose."

This vision statement focuses on PepsiCo's aspirations as a company:

convenient food and beverage industry worldwide.
 Convenience: Offering products that are readily available and easy
to consume on-the-go.
 Winning with purpose: Achieving success while also considering
social responsibility and positive impact.

While PepsiCo's vision provides a direction for the company, we can


again infer a potential vision for the Pepsi brand itself based on its image
and market positioning:

 To be the world's leading choice for a refreshing, fun, and


accessible carbonated beverage.

3.4 Core Value

audience in its marketing and potentially develop products with
broader taste preferences in mind.
 Environmental Sustainability: Pepsi could be working towards
minimizing its environmental footprint, influencing packaging
choices and production methods.

success while considering social responsibility – perhaps
influencing its involvement in community initiatives.

CHAPTER 2: SALE ORGANIZATION

1. Organization structure
1.1. Organizational structure at pepsi

Hierarchical Structure with Market-Based Divisions:

 PepsiCo follows a hierarchical structure with a CEO at the top


overseeing the entire company.
 Below the CEO, PepsiCo is divided into various market-based
divisions, each focused on a specific geographic region or product
category.

Potential Divisions Influencing Pepsi:

 PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA): This division likely


oversees Pepsi production, marketing, and distribution within
North America. It would play a major role in decisions concerning
Pepsi within this region.
 PepsiCo Europe or PepsiCo Asia, Middle East, and North
Africa (AMENA) (depending on your region): If you're focusing
on Pepsi's operations outside North America, the relevant division
would be PepsiCo Europe or PepsiCo AMENA. These divisions
handle Pepsi's business within their respective geographic areas.

Functional Departments within Divisions:

 Each market-based division likely has functional departments like


marketing, sales, research and development, and finance. These
departments work together to ensure Pepsi's success within their
assigned market.

Matrix Management means "potential" in Japanese, added for clarity]

 PepsiCo might also utilize a matrix management structure to some


extent. This means teams can be formed across different functional
departments and market divisions to work on specific projects
related to Pepsi. For example, a marketing campaign for a new
Pepsi flavor might involve collaboration between the marketing
teams from PBNA and PepsiCo Europe.

1.2. Organizational structure of pepsi

Delving into PepsiCo's Organizational Structure


PepsiCo, the parent company of Pepsi, employs a hierarchical structure
with global leadership overseeing various geographic and product-based
divisions. This structure influences decision-making, communication,
and overall operations for Pepsi and other PepsiCo brands. Here's a
breakdown of key elements:

 Leadership Team: At the helm is a CEO and executive team


responsible for setting the strategic direction for the entire
company.

 Geographic Divisions: PepsiCo operates through geographically


focused divisions, such as PepsiCo North America, PepsiCo
Europe, PepsiCo Asia, Middle East, and North Africa (AMENA),
and PepsiCo Latin America. Each division manages Pepsi and
other PepsiCo products within its assigned territory. This allows
PepsiCo to tailor strategies and marketing approaches to specific
regional preferences and market conditions.
 Product-Based Divisions (Optional): In addition to geographic
divisions, PepsiCo might have separate divisions focused on
specific product categories. While not confirmed, an example
could be a "Global Beverage Group" that oversees all beverage
products, including Pepsi. This structure allows for centralized
expertise and resource allocation for beverage development and
marketing.

 Functional Departments: Within each geographic or product


division, functional departments like marketing, sales, research and
development, and finance handle day-to-day operations for Pepsi
and other brands. These departments work together to ensure
successful product launches, effective marketing campaigns, and
efficient distribution for Pepsi within their respective markets.

 Matrix Management (Potential): PepsiCo might utilize a matrix


management structure to some extent. This means cross-functional
teams can be formed, bringing together personnel from different
departments and divisions to work on specific projects related to
Pepsi. For example, a new marketing campaign for Pepsi might
involve collaboration between marketing teams from PepsiCo
North America and the global beverage division (if it exists).

2. Management and Employees

PepsiCo's management and employee landscape:

2.1. Management Structure

focused divisions, each with its own president or senior vice
president responsible for overseeing Pepsi and other brands within

dedicated brand management team for Pepsi. This team would be
responsible for developing marketing campaigns, managing
product development initiatives, and ensuring Pepsi's success

21 CHAPTER III: SELLING PROCESS

Prospecting Potential Customers for Pepsi

PepsiCo, through its Pepsi brand, has a well-established customer base.


However, there's always an opportunity to reach new consumers and
expand market share. Here are some methods PepsiCo can utilize for
prospecting potential Pepsi customers:

Understanding Target Audiences:

 Demographics: Pepsi traditionally targets a younger demographic


(teens and young adults) through its marketing efforts. However,
PepsiCo might also consider expanding its reach to:
o Families with children: Highlighting affordability and fun
aspects of Pepsi.
o Health-conscious consumers: Promoting sugar-free Pepsi
options and healthier flavor variations.
o Professionals: Positioning Pepsi as an afternoon pick-me-up
or a refreshing drink for social gatherings.
 Psychographics: Understanding consumer lifestyles and
preferences is key. Consider:
o Active individuals: Targeting Pepsi as a rehydration drink
after exercise.
o Value-conscious consumers: Emphasize Pepsi's affordability
compared to other brands.
o Trendsetters: Partnering with influencers or creating limited-
edition flavors to appeal to this group.

Prospecting Techniques:

 Market Research: Conducting surveys and focus groups to


understand consumer preferences and identify potential new Pepsi
drinkers.
 Data Analytics: Analyzing existing customer data to identify
buying patterns and target similar demographics with marketing
efforts.
 Social Media Marketing: Engaging with potential customers on
social media platforms, using targeted advertising and influencer
marketing to promote Pepsi.
 Event Marketing: Sponsoring sporting events, music festivals, or
other events frequented by Pepsi's target audience to create brand
awareness and product sampling opportunities.
 Partnerships: Collaborating with restaurants, convenience stores,
and other retailers to offer promotions and increase Pepsi's
visibility at points of purchase.
 Digital Marketing: Utilizing targeted online advertising, search
engine optimization (SEO), and content marketing strategies to
reach potential customers searching for beverage options.

Additional Considerations:

 Local Market Insights: Adapting marketing strategies to consider


local preferences and cultural nuances in different regions.
 Sustainability Efforts: Highlighting PepsiCo's sustainability
initiatives, such as using recycled packaging, might appeal to
environmentally conscious consumers.
 Promotional Offers: Utilizing free samples, coupons, or loyalty
programs to incentivize new customers to try Pepsi.

2.Preparation

The exact preparation process for Pepsi is a trade secret, but here's a
general idea based on the ingredients and common beverage production
practices:

1. Water Treatment:

 Pepsi primarily uses filtered water as its base. This involves


purifying the water source to remove impurities, minerals, and any
unwanted elements that could affect taste or shelf life.

2. Syrup Preparation:

 A concentrated syrup containing flavorings, sweeteners, and other


ingredients is prepared according to Pepsi's proprietary recipe. This
syrup might include:
o High fructose corn syrup or sugar (depending on the Pepsi
variation)
o Caramel coloring for the distinctive color
o Natural and artificial flavors for the signature Pepsi taste
o Phosphoric acid for a slight tanginess
o Citric acid for additional tartness
o Caffeine for a stimulating effect (may be absent in decaf
versions)

3. Carbonation:

 The prepared syrup is then mixed with filtered water in large tanks
at a specific ratio.
 Carbon dioxide gas is then forced into the mixture under high
pressure. This creates the bubbles – a defining characteristic of
carbonated beverages like Pepsi.

4. Filling and Packaging:

 The carbonated Pepsi is then filtered again to remove any


impurities introduced during carbonation.
 The beverage is then filled into sanitized cans, bottles, or other
containers on a high-speed production line.
 The containers are sealed, labeled, and packaged for distribution.

5. Quality Control:

 Throughout the process, Pepsi undergoes rigorous quality control


checks to ensure consistent taste, safety standards, and adherence
to the recipe.

3. Approach

Pepsi's approach to success can be analyzed from various angles. Here's


a breakdown of some key elements:

1. Marketing and Branding:


 Targeting a Younger Demographic: Traditionally, Pepsi's
marketing focuses on a younger audience (teens and young adults)
through humor, music, and pop culture references in their
advertising campaigns.
 Building Brand Image: Pepsi strives to cultivate a youthful,
energetic, and fun brand image that resonates with their target
audience. This is evident in their slogans like "Live for Now" and
"That's What I Like."
 Social Media Engagement: Pepsi utilizes social media platforms
to connect with consumers, run targeted advertising, and partner
with influencers to expand their reach.
 Celebrity Endorsements: Pepsi has a history of collaborating
with celebrities and athletes popular with their target demographic
to promote the brand.

2. Product Innovation:
 New Flavor Introductions: Pepsi regularly introduces new
flavors and variations to cater to evolving consumer preferences.
This keeps the brand exciting and allows Pepsi to explore new
taste profiles.
 Sugar-Free Options: Recognizing the growing demand for
healthier alternatives, Pepsi offers sugar-free versions like Pepsi
Zero Sugar to cater to health-conscious consumers.
 Limited Edition Flavors: Pepsi occasionally launches limited-
edition flavors to create a sense of excitement and exclusivity,
attracting consumer interest.

3. Competitive Advantage:

 Affordability and Value: Pepsi positions itself as an affordable


and accessible beverage option compared to some competitors.
 Global Presence: Pepsi is distributed and marketed worldwide,
making it a recognizable brand across various regions.
 Distribution Network: PepsiCo leverages a vast distribution
network to ensure Pepsi reaches supermarkets, convenience stores,
restaurants, and vending machines, maximizing product
availability.

4. Adapting to Consumer Trends:

 Sustainability Efforts: PepsiCo is increasingly focused on


sustainability initiatives, which might influence Pepsi's packaging
materials and production methods in the future. This aligns with
growing consumer concern for environmental responsibility.
 Healthy Options: The introduction of sugar-free varieties
demonstrates Pepsi's adaptation to consumer preferences for
healthier beverage choices.

5. Responding to Competition:

 The "Cola Wars" with Coca-Cola is a prime example of Pepsi's


competitive spirit. Pepsi uses innovative marketing strategies and
product variations to differentiate itself and capture market share.

CHAPTER VIII MOTIVATION

1. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory

Lower-Level Needs:

Physiological Needs (Basic Survival): Pepsi wouldn't directly


address this level, but clean, refreshing beverages can be
positioned as thirst quenchers and coolers, indirectly satisfying
this need.

Higher-Level Needs:

Safety Needs (Security & Stability): Pepsi can emphasize


product safety and hygiene in their messaging, appealing to
consumers' desire for quality and trust.

Social Needs (Belonging & Connection): Pepsi's marketing


often associates their products with fun, social gatherings, and
pop culture moments. This taps into the human desire for
connection and belonging.

Esteem Needs (Self-Confidence & Recognition): Pepsi can


sponsor sporting events or partner with celebrities to create a
sense of aspiration and coolness around their brand. This
connects with the desire for social recognition and self-esteem.

Self-Actualization Needs (Personal Growth): Pepsi could


highlight the "positive choice" aspects of their healthier options
or their commitment to sustainability initiatives. This caters to
the desire for personal growth and contribution to something
larger.

2. Goal-Setting Theory

Specific Goals:
Clarity and Measurability: Pepsi should set clear, specific goals
that are quantifiable. Instead of "increase market share," a better
goal might be "achieve a 5% market share increase in the energy
drink category within the next year."

Challenge But Achievable: Goals should be challenging


enough to motivate the team but also achievable to prevent
discouragement. Pepsi can break down large goals into smaller,
more manageable milestones.

Commitment:

Public Commitment: Publicly announcing goals can increase


Pepsi's commitment and hold them accountable. This could be
done through press releases, employee announcements, or
industry conferences.

Participation: Involving employees in setting goals can increase


their buy-in and ownership. Pepsi can conduct workshops or
surveys to get employee input on goals and strategies.

3. Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory


Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory can be a valuable tool for PepsiCo to understand and
improve employee motivation. Here's how it applies:

Hygiene Factors (Don't Cause Satisfaction, But Prevent Dissatisfaction):

These factors are essential to maintain a basic level of employee satisfaction and
prevent demotivation. They won't necessarily make employees love their jobs, but their
absence will cause frustration. Here's how Pepsi can address them:
 Salary and Benefits: Competitive compensation and benefits packages are
crucial to attract and retain talent.
 Job Security: Employees need to feel secure in their positions to focus on their
work.
 Working Conditions: PepsiCo should provide a safe, clean, and comfortable
work environment.
 Company Policies: Fair and transparent company policies are essential for
employee trust.
 Supervision: Effective supervision provides guidance, support, and resources
for employees.

4. Sales Volume and Profitability

Here's a breakdown of PepsiCo's recent sales volume and profitability:

Sales Volume:

 Annual Growth: PepsiCo achieved a 5.88% increase in annual sales volume


for 2023 compared to 2022. This translates to a total revenue of $91.47
billion [Macrotrends].
 Quarterly Performance: It's important to note there can be fluctuations
throughout the year. For the fourth quarter of 2023 (ending December 31st,
2023), PepsiCo experienced a slight decline of 0.52% in sales volume compared
to the same quarter in 2022

5. Employee Satisfaction
Positive Indicators:

 PepsiCo Happiness Score: Based on employee reviews on Comparably,


PepsiCo scores a "B" with 62% of employees reporting a positive work
environment [Comparably].
 Employee Engagement: PepsiCo reports a solid 79% score on their internal
Organizational Health Survey (OHS) for 2022, with 82% employee
engagement [PepsiCo].

Areas for Potential Improvement:


 Compensation Satisfaction: While 64% of employees feel they are paid fairly,
there might be pockets where compensation could be a focus for improvement
[Comparably].
 Work-Life Balance: While data isn't readily available, some employee reviews
might suggest work-life balance could be an area of concern for PepsiCo to
address.

6. Recommendation
Here are some recommendations for PepsiCo, drawing on the insights from the
previous discussions:

Product Development:

 Healthier Options: Consumers are increasingly seeking healthy alternatives.


PepsiCo can expand its portfolio of lower-sugar, lower-calorie beverages and
healthier snack options.

ingredients to resonate with environmentally conscious consumers.
