Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: PepsiCo is a global consumption goods company with a focus on beverages and “junk” food. The total revenue in 2013 underlines its global significance. Compared to Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo is stronger in North America and around the globe, but that is a direct result of PepsiCo’s diversified portfolio. When it comes to brand value and numbers of sold cola beverages, Coca-Cola Co has a unique market share. Especially on the cola-market, both companies are the most successful competitors worldwide. Pepsi-Cola has a very long history, but had only been a domestic product in the United States until the late 1940s. Therefore, Coca-Cola has an advantage regard-ing international distribution. In Germany, Pepsi-Cola entered the market almost 30 years after Coca-Cola. Nonetheless, Pepsi proved to be strong opponent by initiat-ing clever marketing campaigns. After the so-called “Pepsi-Challenge” in the 1970s PepsiCo could succeed temporarily in winning the consumers’ hearts. However, the German market for cola products is much more competitive behind Coca-Cola than the US-market. Traditionally, Coca-Cola is the main producer of cola in Germany followed by local products from dicount markets. Next to the big international players, the German beverage industry is very diversified and oriented locally. Pepsi-Cola is available in nearly every German supermarket. It is also very present due to PepsiCo’s strong focus on advertising and sponsorship. But among German consumers Coca-Cola still maintains its pole position supported by a dominent brand image. This turns out to be one of the most obvious threat to Pepsi-Cola’s market position. Addtionally, Pepsi-Cola’s image as a cheap cola drink is firmed, because of PepsiCo’s focus on distribution through discount markets. The development on the German beverage market shows the importance of sustainable packaging and ingredients. Therefore, Pepsi-Cola has to rely on its niche position in order to offer an alternative meeting consumers’ requirements in the future.

None-theless, Pepsi proved to be a strong opponent by initiating clever marketing cam-paigns. However, the German market for cola products is much more competitive than the US-market. The strategic planning analysis of PepsiCo, using Kotler’s four P’s, shows, how much Pepsi-Cola’s suffers from its lack of image compared to Coca-Cola. Pepsi-Cola is very present in retails and commercials, but does not have a trustful brand image. Pepsi-Cola’s image as a cheap cola drink is a threat to its future deveopment, because a decline in the product-life-cycle is possible. PepsiCo’s focus on the German beverage market needs to include a product development, that show consumers, that Pepsi-Cola can be a tasty as well as a sustainable product. The strategy of product diversification must not contain Pepsi-Cola as the main beverage drink of the company.

Book Description
Consumers are so much conscious and sensitive in case of selecting brand. This study investigates the impact of consumer's perception in selecting beverage products between Pepsi cola & Mojo cola. A survey was conducted by a significant number of respondents from the Pabna University of Science & Technology & surrounding areas. The data analyses were conducted by descriptive factor analysis, statistical tools & technique. The results revealed that the most of the consumers are highly concerned about the perception of brand regarding selection of Pepsi cola & Mojo cola beverage drinks. This is a relatively new issue that remains largely undiscovered by researchers under our country's perspective. It is hoped that the findings may assist the local (Akij Beverage Ltd.) and multinational (Transcom Beverage Ltd.) beverage companies about the necessities of enhancing their brand perception. The paper adds to the existing body of research on beverage consumers particularly on consumer's perceptions and expectations from these brands.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, , language: English, abstract: Crystal Pepsi was a clear Cola launched by PepsiCo in the early 1990s, following a marketing trend for clear and pure products. However, after an initial success, sales dropped drastically and the product was pulled off the market. Since then, a lot of factors like consumer preferences and the market environment have changed. The case focuses on the decision of whether Crystal Pepsi should be re-launched today or not. David Novak became CEO of PepsiCo North America in 1992 after a successful career in the marketing world. When he detected the development of pure and clear products' fad, ranging from soap to gasoline, he saw an opportunity to tap into for Pepsi. Thus, he decided to develop his idea and launch Crystal Pepsi, a colorless and caffeine-free cola that would appear more refreshing. By 1994, the trend was largely over and many of the products, including Crystal Pepsi, disappeared from the market due to poor sales. Only years later, precisely in 2007, during an interview, Novak admitted to Fast Company that while it was the “best idea” he ever had, it was also the “worst executed”. If this buzz is true and is really happening, why Crystal Pepsi failed in the first place?

Book Description
Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola are widely recognized as being two of the premier marketing companies in the world. They have introduced a great variety of new products and package types. They have raised celebrity advertising to a new level. Coca-Cola even changed the formula for Coke. These and other developments in the carbonated soft drink industry came about from major strategy changes by Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola. Rather than simply reacting to a changing competitive environment, PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company have created and implemented strategies that turned the new environment to their advantage. Although Pepsi-Cola attacked Coca-Cola's dominance and achieved near-parity with Coke in bottled soft drinks, both Coke and Pepsi have benefitted from fighting the Cola Wars. The battle between them has stimulated continuing growth in an industry regularly pronounced by the experts for many years to be on the verge of maturity. One widely ignored aspect of the Cola Wars is the ongoing transformation of the soft drink distribution systems of Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola from systems of independent bottlers to captive bottling subsidiaries. Chandler advanced the hypothesis that successful firms develop strategies to take advantage of new opportunities, and that those strategies then determine the organizational structure required for effective implementation. We find that changes in the organization of the two leading carbonated soft drink firms' distribution systems provide support for Chandler's hypothesis. The independent bottling systems were a unique and effective organization for many decades. Changes in the external environment, however, raised the costs of transacting between the parent concentrate manufacturers and their independent bottlers. In particular, the new competitive environment required rapidly changing product and marketing strategies, and the implementation of these strategies required the close cooperation of the distribution systems. In effect, Coke and Pepsi needed to change the organization of their distribution systems to implement effectively the strategies that stimulated the new competitive environment, because the relative transaction costs of the independent bottling systems in the new environment were too high. The book presents a strategic analysis of the history of the industry.

Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 5.0, University of Pretoria, language: English, abstract: The global beverage landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as consumers increasingly opt for healthier drink alternatives, posing challenges for industry giants like Coca-Cola. This study delves into the complexities faced by Coca-Cola in navigating this shifting paradigm, marked by heightened health consciousness among consumers and stringent regulatory measures aimed at curbing sugary drink consumption. Utilizing a strategic analysis framework, the research evaluates Coca-Cola's organizational background, internal resources, external environment, and strategic imperatives. Key findings underscore the imperative for Coca-Cola to align with evolving consumer preferences and sustainability mandates, necessitating strategic diversification, brand power utilization, global localization, and robust sustainability initiatives. The study advocates for a holistic approach that harmonizes Coca-Cola's brand legacy with contemporary health and environmental imperatives, ensuring its continued market relevance and leadership amidst dynamic industry shifts.
