...PepsiCo Problem PepsiCo’s business strategies were working out very well for them except for in their international operations. The international segment had relatively low profit margins which meant that PepsiCo needed to implement a new organizational structure that would better utilize strategic fits between the company’s international operations. Also, the operating margins and profitability across the different geographic areas and product lines varied a lot for PepsiCo. Gaining some more stability throughout each area and product line would increase the company’s growth and strength within their targeted markets. Situation Analysis In 1997 PepsiCo set out to accomplish a major portfolio restructuring through acquisitions, product innovation, international expansion, and close relationships with distribution allies. All of this restructuring proved positive for the company and they saw success in many areas. They saw their international snack volume grow by 9 percent and the international beverage volume increased by 8 percent in 2007. However, PepsiCo’s international operations were much less profitable than its businesses operating in North America. The company did notice opportunities for growth in these international markets, though. PepsiCo executives expected that, by 2010, China and Brazil would be the two largest international markets for snacks. They also found that it could grow international sales through its Power of One Strategy. Through research PepsiCo...

If you are thinking about buying a car, your choices can be overwhelming: Should you buy or lease? New car or used? A sport utility vehicle, a sedan, a sports car, or a minivan? Should you get a sunroof or four-wheel drive? How much extra would you pay for a vehicle that will have a high resale value in the future? What are the expected operating expenses for each model—insurance, repairs, gasoline, and so on? Finally, what opportunities will you forgo if you buy a car? How else could you spend your money, either today or in the future? Making decisions about a product with many options is not easy. Before buying a car, for example, you might draw on the experiences of friends and family, read advertisements, visit dealers, and test-drive vehicles. You might also research different models and financing options on the Web, read Consumer Reports, price insurance rates for favorite models, or even visit chat rooms frequented by car buffs.

...Rethinking Strategy at Macy’s 1.) When developing a marketing strategy, I feel Macy’s should do research on the local areas style preferences, like brands preferred, maybe certain colors and sizes may also be considered. They may also have to consider climate, such as which seasonal clothes to purchase to sell. In the Midwest they may need warmer clothes for the colder months; and for the warmer climates that would obviously not be needed, but there may be more brand specific the area may prefer. They may also want to consider customer loyalty to certain local products. Keeping the store names may be helpful, as people identify the name with a part of them and their hometown. Not making such drastic changes and keeping items in the store similar or highlighting the better selling items may be helpful to help customer adapt to the change, and some may not even realize there was a change. I also feel that keeping products in the same price ranges and not going to high or to low in prices ranges may help. Lower the price and merchandise selection may insult certain customers, on the other hand lower prices may bring in new customers. Either way I feel keeping the change not so noticeable to customers may be helpful especially in areas where there is an attachment to the local store. I feel it is important to keep special things customers identify the stores with and what they feel is important as long as it doesn’t cost money. They may want to do research to see what...
