The casual method, time-series method,and qualitative method. The casual method uses the assumption that the demand forecast is correlated with environmental factors such as the economy, product pricing , and interest rates. The time-series method uses past demand data as the forecast for future demands. The qualitative method uses past demand data and market intelligence. Management uses their own judgement to make the forecast and a yearly demand plan is forecasted with subplans made accordingly.

I am very passionate about give to the community and would want my career to be apart of that passion.

The purpose of this report is to compare financial reports from the two largest soft drink manufacturers in the world. The Pepsi Co. and Coca Cola have been the industry's leaders in their market since the early 1900's. I will use relevant figures to determine profitability, and break down key ratios in profitability, liquidity, and solvency. By breaking down financial statements, and converting them to percentages and ratios, comparisons can be made between competitors regardless of size.
Pepsi Company (PepsiCo) owns many brands of beverages, snacks and other foods. Its major product, Pepsi Cola, is one of the most popular carbonated beverages. Besides that, PepsiCo owns the brands Quaker Oats, Gatorade, Frito-Lay, Tropicana, Mountain Dew, Naked, Mirinda and SoBe. In order to maintain, or preferable expand, its market share, PepsiCo constantly introduced new products under its brands. This is a marketing strategy known as Product Development. By modifying the formulas and ingredients, PepsiCo had invented and marketed more than 50 types of carbonated beverages under the brand of Pepsi. To name a few, Pepsi Free introduced in 1982, Pepsi AM introduced in 1989, Pepsi Tropical introduced in 1994, Pepsi Blue introduced in 2003, Pepsi Edge introduce in 2004, Pepsi Lime introduced in 2005, and Pepsi Ice introduced in 2007. Some of the products survive and being accepted by consumers, however large number of the new formula Pepsi had failed and been removed from the market shelves in as short as 6 months.
There are many different alternative ideas available to help Pepsi through this process. They should use input from their sales team, customers, and suppliers to help with new product ideas.
Since neither of the products created the measurable sales and market share increase Pepsi needed, PepsiCo International (PCI) executives conceived of a plan to create a new tagline and re-brand all existing Pepsi products, signage, advertising materials and in-store display units. The executives envisioned a simultaneous, global campaign that would create stronger brand equity and resonance in the consumer consciousness.
...e and Pepsi’s already established image as producers of premium product is key to discouraging other companies from entering the soft drink industry. However, as the market in the U.S has leveled off, they should continue to invest globally in marketing and advertising for further profit growth, which will in turn positively influence their well established brands to further increase soft drink sales and profits.
The social responsibility activities of PepsiCo emphasizes on sustainable agriculture, water use efficiency, alternative sources of energy, packaging, wasting, and recycling.

Place: PepsiCo uses a global network for distributing its products to consumers. Most PepsiCo products are available at retailers, such as supermarkets, grocery stores, and convenience stores. However, customers can access PepsiCo-licensed merchandise like tumblers and t-shirts through retailers and their websites. Based on this element of the marketing mix, PepsiCo’s places for distributing its products are mostly non-online
PepsiCo is one of the most recognized names in the snack and beverage industry, with brands like Frito-lay, Gatorade, Tropicana, and Quaker, however, it is best known for its flagship soft drink brand - Pepsi and its rivalry with Coca-Cola. To begin, PepsiCo first caught my Interest in the way it manages its business and markets its products. PepsiCo being a relatively young company compared to its rival Coke, has proven to be a formidable opponent going “head to head” with one of the biggest companies in the world (Coca-Cola). Now, when I notice PepsiCo’s growth, the first thing that came to my mind was that it is thanks to its great marketing campaigns, that Pepsi has grown to become the globally recognized brand that it is today. I also admire PepsiCo because I think the there is a high level of entrepreneurship in the way they acquired smaller brands like Gatorade thereby eliminating their competition before they become competition.
Pepsi was introduced in 1893 by Caleb Bradham as “Brads Drink” which then was renamed to “Pepsi Cola” in 1898. There wasn’t many options for advertising in this era due television not being introduced into households till the late 1900’s. One of the first Pepsi Cola advertisements was a black and while flyer that had a few characters laughing and read “Whoope!!! Zoom!! Drink Pepsi-Cola” at an advertisement from Pepsi, the have bright blue, red, and white colors that pop and are eye catching. Comparing this ad with a current ad and modern technology, you can see that Pepsi’s marketing and advertising techniques have come a long way. Reviewing a recent Pepsi advertisement, you can see that they have made groundbreaking changes to their branding techniques. First I will I will note that their choices in colors (red, blue, and white) for their brand are not only eye popping, but in a way symbolize the colors of America. I am not sure if this was their intent but it sure does standout. Next, there slogan in the ad states “Help Kick Off The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show”, this ad targets a very large group people because its directly relating to one of the biggest sports event which is Super
