PepsiCo, Inc. began as a successor to a company incorporated in 193 1, known as Loft Inc. Once known as Pepsi-Cola, the company expanded its busines s and adopted its current name, PepsiCo, after a merger with Frito-Lay in 1965. This merger dramatically increased PepsiCos market potential and set the founda tion for the companys tremendous growth. 14

PepsiCos products are recognized and are most respected all around the globe. C urrently, PepsiCo divisions operates in three major US and international busines ses: beverages, snack foods, and restaurants. In each of these businesses, Pepsi Co has attained a leadership position as being the world leader in soft drink bo ttling g, the world largest snack chip producer, and the world largest franchise d and company operated restaurant system. The corporations increasing success ha s been based on high standards of performance, marketing strategies, competitive ness, determination, commitment, and the personal and professional integrity of their people, products and business practices PepsiCos overall mission is to in crease the value of our shareholders investments through sales growth, investme nts and financial activities. PepsiCo believes their success depends upon the qu ality and value of their products by providing a safe, whole some, economically efficient and a healthy environment for their customers; and by providing a fair return to their investors while maintaining the highest standards of integrity. HISTORY OF PEPSI PepsiCos beverage business was founded in 1898 by a pharmacist named Caleb Brad ham who created a special beverage, a soft drink, in the back room of his drug s tore in New Bern, North Carolina. This new soft drink called "Brads Drink" had a unique mixture of kola nut extract, vanilla and rare oils. 15

Caleb began to advertise his new creation with the theme "Exhilarating, Invigora ting, Aids Digestion" and renamed it as "Pepsi-Cola." Caleb Bradham began his co la operation in 1902. The Pepsi Cola Company was headquartered in the back room of his drug store where he packaged the syrup for sale to other soda fountains. The business increased, and on June 16, 1903, "Pepsi-Cola" was officially regist ered with the US Patent Office. And as a result, Caleb Bradham began to franchis e Pepsi-Cola to many independent investors. By the end of 1910, Pepsi-Cola was f ranchised in 24 states. Until World War I, Pepsi-Cola Company achieved 17 years of success and a new theme was introduced, "Drink Pepsi-Cola. It will satisfy yo u." However, after the war years, Caleb Bradham suffered bankruptcy. As a result , Pepsi-Cola became a subsidiary to Loft Incorporated, a large chain of candy st ores and soda fountains. Today, Pepsi-Cola Company is a major division of PepsiC os corporate structure. Pepsi-Cola Company now produces and markets a wide rang e of beverages to retail, restaurants and food services in more than 191 countri es and territories around the world and brings in an annual revenue of $10 billi on. There are 200 plants in the US and Canada, as well as, 530 plants throughout the rest of the world, that produces Pepsi-Colas beverages. Since the creation of Pepsi-Cola in 1898, Pepsi-Cola Company has introduced 13 b everages that wear the Pepsi-Cola trademark. Five of Pepsi-Colas brand names: P epsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7 UP, and Mirinda, each brings in annual revenue in consumer sales of $1 billion. In 1992, a partnership between Thomas J. Lipto n and Pepsi was formed. This partnership produces, markets, and distributes Lipt on Brew, Lipton Brisk and Lipton Fountain Ice-Tea. And in 1993, Pepsi Max a low calorie cola was created and introduced only for the international markets. Peps i Max is now produced in over 40 countries and is the third largest-selling cola brand outside the US. 16

Mazagran, a cold sparkling coffee based beverage, Aquafina, bot tled water, and a low fat milk shake called Smooth Moos. The latest beverage was launched on May 22, 1996 in Philadelphia.

For example, in some parts of the country a two-liter bottle of Pepsi cost 99 cents a decade ago and still does today. One of the way s weve been able to assist this effort is by expanding our use of inexpensive a nd recyclable plastic bottles. The soft drink industry today is confronted with a bewildering array of price increases. Our expenditures for labor, ingredients, transportation and more all continue to rise. The cost of 28

aluminum alone has increased dramatically since last year. Across our entire sys tem however, we have been cutting overhead and re-engineering our manufacturing process in order to keep our prices competitive. It is our policy to limit any p rice increases to the retail trade to the lowest possible extent. MISSION 29

PEPSICO MISSION Pepsi Is One Of The Safest Beverages You Can Drink Today. We follow regulations laid down by the indian Government which are amongst the worlds most stringent. PepsiCo India is in full compliance One Quality Standard For Pepsi Globally. 30

Indian regulations are amongst the worlds best. Over the past few years the sof t drink industry has worked with the Government of India, the scientific communi ty and NGOs to establish stringent science-based regulations. The new regulation s for carbonated soft drinks notified by the Health Ministry on July 15, 2004 ar e comparable to the most stringent international regulations, including that of the European Union. All PepsiCo products in India meet these regulations. Our be verages are safe Our products comply with the Prevention of Food Adulteration Ac t (PFA) directive on the use of water in the preparation of soft drinks. We also comply with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for packaged drinking water. W e use a six-stage water purification process to deliver this standard consistent ly. The pesticide question? Manufacturer of food products adds pesticides to their p roducts. Do we live in a pesticide free world? Pesticides are used to protect agricultura l crops from insects and pests. Minute quantities of these pesticides enter the ground water and remain in the agricultural crops which ultimately find their wa y into our food. Do pesticide residues compromise safety of food products? 31

Recognizing that pesticide residues are present in the food chain, international agencies like WHO and national authorities establish strict norms based on thei r experience and scientific research. Is the safety of soft drinks compromised b y pesticide residues? Independent government data has shown that pesticide resid ues present in soft drinks are at safe levels. ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT PepsiCo has a corporation-wide commitment to the environment. PepsiCo is committ ed to providing a safe and healthy environment for their employees as well as fo r the community. PepsiCo is dedicated to designing, constructing, maintaining, a nd operating facilities that protects their people and their physical resources. 32

PepsiCo commitment to reducing the impact of their businesses on the environment through conservation, recycling, and energy use programs that promote clean air and water and reduce landfill waste. PepsiCos dedication and commitment to the environment is stated in their "Worldwide Code of Conduct". The "Worldwide Code of Conduct" defines PepsiCos commitment based on the following environmental p rinciples: 1. Business is conducted by complying with all applicable laws and re gulations and provide a safe and healthy environment. 2. Minimizing the impact o f our businesses on the environment through methods that are socially responsibl e, scientifically based and economically sound, such as recycling and conservati on. 3. Developing programs that promote clean air and water, energy conservation , and reduce land fill waste. 4. By supporting programs that educate, train and motivate employees to help the environment. 6. By cooperating with different org anizations and governments to find solutions that reduce pollution and by suppor ting environmental policies. MARKETING STRATEGY Pepsi is known in the marketing world as a convenience product, one that is purc hased without much consideration. So how is it decided which brand of soft-drink to buy? Annually, softdrinks are a $5 billion business, that is why the techniq ues for market ing and ensuring Pepsis purchase are so important. 33

In response to last years success of the Pepsi Stuff Campaign, on May 13, 1997 they unveiled "Pepsi Stuff 97." This is a promotion in which you buy Pepsi prod ucts, receive points on the boxes and cans, and then redeem them for items in th eir catalogue. Pepsi was very successful last year with this campaign, attractin g over 30 million participants. One major problem though was 21 year old John Le onard taking serious a television commercial that jokingly offered a military j et as a prize for 1 billion Pepsi points. Pepsi points were also purchasable, so Leonard rounded up five investors to purchase enough points to acquire the jet. Pepsi is now involve in a legal battle over this matter, even though the Pentag on has stated i t is not possible to buy one of the jets. Taking into account th e controversy of the jet, Pepsi has taken consideration to offer prizes in "Peps i Stuff 97" that are legally attainable. They include "Fantasy Stuff" prizes, s uch as throwing out the first pitch at a World Series game or feeding the ball t o Shaquille Oneal for a $25,000 slam-dunk. Success in the soft-drink market als o involves forming strategic alliances with companies to capture market share. P epsi has secured two major deals this year, one with Warner Brothers Internatio nal Theaters, and the other with Major League Baseball. The Warner Brothers all iance gives Pepsi exclusive pouring rights at all existing and projected Warner Brothers International Theaters. This includes 358 movie screens at 43 theaters in 6 countries, including: Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy , and Japan. The significance of this deal according to Vince Gennaro, President of t he Fountain Beverage Division at Pepsi, "Nearly half on the worlds movie fans a re between the ages of 15 and 24. Together with Warner Brothers, we intent to i nject a wh ole new dimension of excitement into their regular trip to the multip lex." Pepsis five year deal with Major League Baseball gives them exclusive rig hts to use baseballs trademarks and team logos in al advertising, packaging, me rchandising, and promotions. Pepsi has forged a reputation as appealing to the t eenage audience, which is why Major League Baseball believes its deal with Pepsi will attrac t a younger audience, which was partially lost 34

due to aggressive marketing campaigns by pro football and basketball, as well as the 1994 strike. "Project Blue" is an international venture the Pepsi hopes wil l transform its international marketplace presence. It represents a $500 million investment, including the system-wide conversion of bottles and cans, coolers a nd vending machines, as well as trucks and other transports. The new design feat ures a striking blue "grid" background; bold vertical typography; and a three di mensional globe that evokes the companys "ball" icon. Currently Coca-Cola is as sociated with red, which is why Pepsi is attempting to create brand association and awaren ess with the color blue. According to John Swanhaus, Pepsi-Cola Compa nys Senior Vice President of International Sales and Marketing, "Blue is modern and cool, exciting and dynamic, and most importantly its a color that powerful ly communicates refreshment. Ultimately, we believe that owning blue will give u s a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace. Pepsi, with their aggr essive marketing, also engage in creative ventures. Three such case include an i nnovative web site, the worlds first commercial in space, and buying screensave r ad space in schools. The web site, called Pepsi World, combines breakthrough t echnology with powerful content. If features movie previews, origin al interacti ve games, first-run articles, new music, digital art, national Net-Promotions an d more. This site allows Pepsi to aggressively market their brand name in a revo lutionary way. The site is constantly being re-inven ted to remain at the forefr ont of the Cyberculture. Pepsi is also breaking ground by filming the worlds fi rst commercial in space. It is part of Pepsis partnership with the Russian Mir Space Station. For the ad, two cosmonauts film the deployment of a large-scale r eplica of Pepsis new blue can, which w as described in the "Project Blue" secti on. The can itself is actually a fully orbital spacecraft built by International Space Enterprises. It was built to withstand temperature swings of -100 F to + 200 F. A Canadian school board, faced with the problem of large-scale funding cu tbacks ,have sold to Pepsi, McDonalds, and Trident advertising rights to a scre ensaver program that mixes educational messages, motivational words, and corpora te advertising. This subject is controversial, but all advertisements must agree to include an educationally motivating 35

message. The Pepsi ad will have a slogan that encourages children to "develop a thirst for knowledge." COMPETITOR Coca-Cola controlled the Indian market until 1977, when the Janata Party beat th e Congress Party of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. To punish Coca-Colas pri ncipal bottler, a Congress Party stalwart and longtime Gandhi supporter, the Jan ata government demanded that Coca-Cola transfer its syrup formula to an Indian s ubsidiary. 36

Coca-Cola balked and withdrew from the country. India, now left without both Coc a-Cola and Pepsi, became a protected market. In the meantime, Indias two larges t soft-drink producers have gotten rich and lazy while controlling 80% of the In dian market. These domestic producers have little incentive to expand their plan ts or develop the countrys potentially enormous market. Some analysts reason th at the Indian market may be more lucrative than the Chinese market. India has 85 0 million potential customers, 150 million of whom comprise the middle class, wi th disposable income to spend on cars, VCRs, and computers. The Indian middle cl ass is growing at 10% per year. To obtain the license for India, Pepsi had to ex port $5 of locally made products for every $1 of materials it imported, and it h ad to agree to help the Indian government to initiate a second agricultural revo lution. Pepsi has also had to take on Indian partners. In the end, all parties i nvolved seem to come out ahead: Pepsi gains access to a potentially enormous mar ket; Indian bottlers will get to serve a market that is expanding rapidly becaus e of competition; and the Indian consumer benefits from the competition from abr oad and will pay lower prices. Even before the first bottle of Pepsi hit the she lves, local soft drink manufacturers increased the size of their bottles by 25% without raising costs. 37
