...Pepsi: Repairing A Poisoned Reputation In India How the soda giant fought charges of tainted products in a country fixated on its polluted water Indra K. Nooyi says she still feels guilty filling a bathtub with water. It sounds far-fetched coming from the chief executive of a major multinational corporation, until you consider her early years. Nooyi, the chief executive of PepsiCo Inc. (PEP ), didn't get much water growing up during the 1960s in the Indian coastal city of Chennai. Although she describes her family as "very middle class," they still had to rise every morning between three and five—the only hours that the valves to the municipal water supply were turned on—and fill every bucket in the house. Two buckets were set aside for cooking, and two each would go to Nooyi, her older sister, and her younger brother. "You had to think about whether to take a bath," says Nooyi, matter-of-factly. "You learned to live your life off those two buckets." Nooyi left Chennai, propelled by a dream to build a career in the U.S. She headed to the prestigious Indian Institute of Management and later Yale University before moving into the corporate sphere, eventually settling at PepsiCo in 1994. When she was named CEO in October of last year, India's water again became a focus of her life. This time Nooyi was cast as part of the problem. Villagers charged that PepsiCo—which has named India as a top strategic priority—consumes excessive groundwater in their parched communities. Even...

...What “grade” would you give Ms. Nooyi for her job performance as a strategic leader? What are her strengths and weaknesses? Where would you place Ms. Nooyi on the Level-5 pyramid of strategic leadership and why? I would give Ms. Mooyi a B. The CEO of Pepsico is well informed about the company’s resources and how they are being affected by the external environment. The decisions that she she made to restructure and diversify the company have definitely positively impacted how the company is being perceived. Those decisions also provided various opportunities within the food industry be creating healthier food lines and adding competitive advantage. As for the disadvantages I believe that she is trusting a lot of strategic elements in the company by creating a corporate company lifestyle. It is also unclear if the performance of the company is related to CSR and if it represents the competitive advantage over competitors. The results that the company is achieving do not show that Pepsi is gaining the competitive advantage over the competition. What is needed to have a better performance with competitors is better business strategies that will improve current company situation. The markets where Pepsico is competing are established and have already developed very strong competitive advantage. On the Level-5 pyramid of strategic leadership Ms. Nooyi is definitely located either at or extremely close to the top of the pyramid. She has shown that she possesses exceptional...
