...Pepsi Marketing Volume 1 About Current Volume Archives Submission Editorial Board e-Vision Spring 2013 Cultural Imperialism and Globalization in Pepsi Marketing by Justin Grandinetti The increased speed and flow of information brought about by technology has influenced a massive global culture shift. Two consequences of this increased information exchange are cultural imperialism and globalization. Cultural imperialism is a heavily debated concept that “refers to how an ideology, a politics, or a way of life is exported into other territories through the export of cultural products” (Struken and Cartwright 397). The related concept of globalization “describes the progression of forces that have accelerated the interdependence of peoples to the point at which we can speak of a true world community” (Struken and Cartwright 405). A driving force of both cultural imperialism and globalization are major corporations, many of which are based in the United States. Brands like Pepsi are now known worldwide and not simply confined to one particular country or the western sphere. These global brands can be viewed “as homogenizing forces, selling the same tastes and styles throughout diverse cultures” (Stuken and Cartwright 402). Conversely, viewers in other countries are free to “appropriate what they see to make new meanings, meanings that may be not just different from but even oppositional to the ideologies” of these global advertising campaigns. By analyzing three recent aspects...

...Coca-Cola in India 1. What aspects of U.S. culture and of Indian culture may have been causes of Coke’s difficulties in India? Something that could have been a problem right from the start is communication. Countries have different ways of communication, and something could be translated completely opposite of what was meant. Communication problems could have been a cause of the problems in India. Also, the different styles of communication could have been an issue because the United States and India do not use the same styles. Another big problem is that something could be accepted in India and be completely wrong in the United States. What some people don’t understand is that every culture has their own way of doing things, and their own “rights and wrongs”. This is where businesses need to decide whether they are going to keep their rules and regulations and bring them into the foreign country (ethnocentric). Or, they need to consider the fact that every culture is different and they need their own practices (polycentric). Whichever way the business decides could bring up problems because if they do us the polycentric approach, then consumers living in the home country are going to see their practices as wrong, when indeed the company is allowing their cultural ways to occur. 2. How might Coca-Cola have responded differently when this situation first occurred, especially in terms of responding to negative perceptions among Indians of Coke and other MNCs? Coca-Cola...

...Coca-Cola in India 1. What aspects of U.S. and Indian culture may have been a cause of Coke's difficulties in India? There are four areas that of culture differences may cause the Coke’s difficulties in India. First of all, is the spoken and written language. During the contact with the India government, there might comes out some misunderstood with language express. Secondly is the service and empowerment. Asian culture is more conservative and the U.S. pays more attention on empowerment issues. Thirdly, is the laws, laws in the U.S. is much more wholesome than India. Fourthly, is the flavor preference difference between the two countries, that is why coke is not as popular in India as the America. 2. How might Coca-Cola have responded differently when this situation first occurred, especially in terms of reacting to negative perceptions among Indians of Coke and other MNCs? Firstly, it should apologize for the destroying of water resources in India, and then do some compensate for the villagers of Plachimada, like money or spring water, or other marketing strategies in that area. Find ways to solve the problem because it still needs to plant there. Give guarantees via publics to ensure not destroy environment anymore. It is very important to MNCs to built good reputation and consumer loyalty in international market. 3. If Coca-Cola wants to obtain more of India’s soft drink market, what changes does it need to make? Firstly, it should change its...

...famous “Do the Dew” campaign that had catapulted Mountain Dew to the number three position in its category. With his partner, art director Doris Cassar, Bruce had developed ten new creative concepts for Mountain Dew’s 2000 advertising to present to PepsiCo management. Gathered in the room to support Bruce and Cassar were BBDO senior executives Jeff Mordos (Chief Operating Officer), Cathy Israelevitz (Senior Account Director), and Ted Sann (Chief Creative Officer). Each of the three executives had over a decade of experience working on Mountain Dew. Representing PepsiCo were Scott Moffitt (Marketing Director, Mountain Dew), Dawn Hudson (Chief Marketing Officer, and a former senior ad agency executive), and Gary Rodkin (Chief Executive Officer, Pepsi Cola North America). Scott Moffitt scribbled notes as he listened to Bruce speak. Moffitt and the brand managers under him were charged with day-to-day oversight of Mountain Dew marketing. These responsibilities included brand strategy, consumer and sales promotions, packaging, line extensions, product changes, and sponsorships. But for Moffitt and the senior managers above him, the most important decisions of the year were made in conference rooms with BBDO creatives. Each of the ads would cost over a million dollars to produce. But the production costs were minor compared to the $55 million media budget that would be committed to air these spots. Historically, PepsiCo management had learned that selecting the right...

...Carl Johansson International Business Environment MIRBIS Exchange Student, Sweden 2011-05-16 Cola Wars; Going global 1. Compare and analyse market strategies of Coca Cola and Pepsi in the following ways; Country Market entry strategy China Coke used a three-step strategy where the first sold concentrate to franschised Chinese bottle-owners who were fully responsible for production and distribution. This step made Coke their name in China. In the second step Coke bought shares in the bottling business to reduce the effect of uncertainty and to restrict opportunistic behaviour of its local partners. During the third stage Coke merged with two local producers and broadened their production line to tea drinks, fruit juices and carbonated sodas. Pepsi established joint ventures with local companies in an early stage. They had to enter the market pretty aggressively since Coke was already well established. Pepsi addressed the Chinese government and built a strong network with local companies. Via these local companies they got access to other markets such as beer and wine. The joint ventures signalled long-term commitment and fair strategies to the Chinese government. They also expanded their savoury snack sister company who proved profitable. Mexico Coke was “first” in Mexico, as early as 1903 and to access the Mexican market in an easy way they provided “free” refrigerators to restaurants to encourage the distribution and brand. Their initial...

...Date: Introduction In today’s world, nearly everybody consumes a beverage every day of which, most of what we consume, is either a soft drink or hot beverages in the form of tea or coffee. The beverage business has in the modern world emerged as the top prayer with worlds renowned companies such as Coca Cola and PepsiCo being the leaders. In our study, we will focus on the history and mission statement of the PepsiCo Company. History and Background PepsiCo was founded in 1890’s by Caleb Bradham who was by then running a pharmacy business in New Bern, North Carolina. Today, it has risen to become one of the most recognized and successful snack and beverage companies in the world. What started as an in-house production of Pepsi-cola soft drink would then grow and spread with an outstanding establishment of over 250 licensed bottlers and distributors by 1910. By this time, PepsiCo production had exceeded the 1 million gallon production mark (PepsiCo, 2012). The effects of world war two would destabilize its operations notably due to acute sugar shortage due to rationing. In 1931, PepsiCo was declared bankruptcy following financial problems due to the notable acute sugar shortage during and aftermath of world war I. during various occasions between 1922 and 1933, the coca-cola company had been approached to take over PepsiCo due to the prevailing business difficulties but declined every time. This difficult was equally felt during the World War II, under the new...

...WEEK 1 DISCUSSION STRUCTURAL FORCES EFFECTS on COLA DRINKS INDUSTRY SUPPLY CHAIN by GIDAGA ALFRED HOOO31960 ABSTRACT Carbonated soft drinks branded under Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola remain major household names in the soft drinks industry. Spanning operation from the original Franchise agreement of 1899 to-date, is an indication of managerial ingenuity of strategy design, implementation and control. Profitability and sustainability as a key issue in business operations necessitates these value chain components to critically evaluate the Structure-conduct-performance framework as an ongoing process. As suggested by Porter (2008/1977), the evaluation of the industry structure would assume the assessment under the five forces concept: The threat of entry, the power of suppliers, the power of buyers, the threat of substitutes and the competitive rivalry. INTRODUCTION The major players in the Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) industry in the production and distribution process are classified in four major groupings: Concentrate producers, bottlers, retailer channels and suppliers. As major part players in the Carbonated Soft Drinks Industry (CSD), analysis of the Industry structure is synonymous to assessment of the Industry major players on Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) paradigm. This essay seeks to subject to assessment the CSD Industry major players to the five forces concept. CONCENTRATE PRODUCERS, In this part of the industry, raw materials are converted...

...Carolyn Gaudioso 8-29-12 Intermediate Accounting Homework 1 CAC: a) Coca cola b) Coca cola- 34% Pepsi-32% c) Pepsi co had more depreciation and amortization expense, there is a difference in these amounts because coca cola had a higher percentage increase from 2008 to 2009 and also a greater 5 year average growth rate which shows that coca cola is a more popular company and there is a reduction in a capital account of the value of an asset over time. Also their equipment that they use can depreciate faster than coca-cola’s equipment. FSAC: a) Percentage change in sales from 2008- 2007 is 9% increase and from 2008-2009 is decreased 2%. The percentage change in operating profits from 2007 to 2008 is 4% and from 2008-2009 it is 2%. The change in net cash flow less capital expenditures from 2007-2008 is decreased 2% and from 2008-2009 is 57%. b) The trend that seems to be more favorable is the sales and the trend that seems less favorable is the net cash flow less capital expenditures. The significance of the trend being less favorable from net cash flow less capital expenditure is that is shows that the net cash flow in 2008 is less than the capital expenditure thus causing a decrease in 2008 which causes a decrease of 2%.
