What I find to be the biggest indicator of concern is that PepsiCo’s profitability is currently declining, despite its ever-increasing sales figures. It has lost 2% on both its profit margin, and return on assets. The return on common stockholder’s equity, has dipped by 4%, and they lost $.02 over every dollar invested in assets in 2005. This goes back to my assessment of their sales and net income figures. Here again, I see indications that their spending has increased dramatically, which is having a negative impact on profitability. Since the soft drink industry is a high-volume, low-overhead industry, controlling and minimizing expenses is of paramount importance. I find this trend to be very troubling, considering PepsiCo’s sales haven’t stopped climbing, yet they are starting to lose their profitability. Should their sales dip, they will be very hard put to maintain themselves.

When Roger Enrico, Chief Executive Officer for PepsiCo, took over he began to examine the corporation. Going on the belief that if you can't make diversification work, give it up.

This case describes the complexity of PepsiCo's competitive position in the Mexican soft-drink market during the late 1990's. Between 1993 and 1996 PepsiCo and Coca-Cola waged a classic cola war in Latin America. The goal for both companies was to gain market share and by the end of 1996, Coca-Cola had clearly won the Latin America cola war. In 1993 PepsiCo enjoyed a 42% market share in Venezuela thanks to the success of its bottling partner, the Cisneros Group but by the end of 1996, PepsiCo held less than 1% of the Venezuelan cola market. Following PepsiCo's anchor bottler in Mexico, Gemex, the case details the strategies employed by PepsiCo's senior management beginning in 1993 to expand its

When Nakirra was a little girl in church she did not understand what getting baptised meant. Her church school teacher use to explain to her what the values of getting baptised was and how it was important for her to get baptised. She said ,”That baptism was their personal identification with Jesus Christ”. In the bible found in Ephesians 2: 8-9 it states that “For by grace you have been saved through faith”. And this is not their own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works,so that no one may boast.”

Animal Farm: Dangers of an Uneducated Society Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is a short novel that uses fable to bring awareness to the dire consequences of an uneducated society. The novel parallels the pigs to the humans, both of whom end up being consumed by greed to the point they are willing to oppress others in order to maintain their positions of power. The series of events in the novel illustrate the extreme danger of an uneducated society; if not for the farm animals’ lack of intelligence, the animals’ society would not have been able to fall to ruin as it did – it was the crowd’s inability to think for themselves that ultimately allowed corruption to take root and seize control in the community. Thus, it is shown that an

Jack Ma and Indra Nooyi share very common similarities regarding their leadership stories which appear to be strong catalysts in shaping their leadership purpose. They both came from rather simple beginnings, Indra was raised by a strict conservative Brahmin family in Southern India and Jack was repeatedly rejected for his plans of starting an internet company in America. Not deterred by that experience Jack then returned to China with no money but a solid business idea.
