Pepsi
PepsiCo Inc. is an American multinational food and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York. PepsiCo is a world leader in convenient snacks, foods, and beverages, with revenues of $60 billion and over 285,000 employees. PepsiCo owns some of the world's most popular brands, including Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Diet Pepsi, Lay's, Doritos, Tropicana, Gatorade, and Quaker. Coca-Cola Company has historically been considered PepsiCo's primary competitor in the beverage market, and in December 2005, PepsiCo surpassed The Coca-Cola Company in market value for the first time in 112 years since both companies began to compete. In 2009, the Coca-Cola Company held a higher market share in carbonated soft drink sales within the U.S. In the same year, PepsiCo maintained a higher share of the U.S. refreshment beverage market, however, reflecting the differences in product lines between the two companies.
The structure of PepsiCo's global operations has shifted multiple times in its history as a result of international expansion, and as of 2010 it is separated into four main divisions: PepsiCo Americas Foods, PepsiCo Americas Beverages, PepsiCo Europe, and PepsiCo Asia, Middle East and Africa. As of 2009, 71 percent of the company's net revenues came from North and South America, 16 percent from Europe and 13 percent from Asia, the Middle East and Africa. PepsiCo worldwide employs approximately 285,000 people.

    Accounting software is very important when it comes to a company running smoothly. The Enterprise Resource planning software is for the largest organizations with sales exceeding $500 million and more than 500 employees. There are an estimated 17,000 companies that fit this profile. A software system needs to meet the needs of the company and may need certain systems to benefit them the best. Companies may need to keep up with employees work hours, sales commission, and/or payroll. The ERP is for larger companies so they may need systems to keep up with workflow, imagining, business intelligence, or manufacturing. (Johnston, 2003) There are many different systems that are great for the ERP but it has to be perfect for the company when it comes to accounting. Multiview Enterprise .NET n10, NetSuite Financials, Sage 100 Standard and Advanced ERP, SAP Accounting, and Acumatica are all different systems that larger companies may use because they are designed for the larger companies. The Acumatica is a good software from what I have gathered because it has many different systems that it offers. This systems is web-based and offers a general ledger, cash management, accounts payable, an employee portal, currency management, tax management, and deferred revenue management. (Acumatica, 2005)…

    PepsiCo’s corporate strategy had diversified, in 2008, the company into salty and sweet snacks, soft drinks, orange juice, bottled water, and ready-to-eat drink teas and coffees, purified and functional waters, isotonic beverages, hot and ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, grain-based products, and breakfast condiments. Strategies that kept their brands at the top were tied to new product innovation, close relationships with distribution allies, international expansion, and strategic acquisitions. A new element of PepsiCo’s corporate strategy was product reformulations to make snack foods and beverages less unhealthy. Their belief that its efforts to develop “good-for-you” or “better-for-you” products would create growth opportunities from the intersection of business and public interests. The company was organized into four business divisions which all followed the corporation’s general strategic approach. Frito-Lay North America manufactured, marketed, and distributed such snack foods as Lay potato chips, Doritos tortilla chips, Cheetos cheese snacks, Fritos corn chips, Quaker Chewy granola bars, Grandma’s cookies, and Smartfood popcorn.

    Pepsi was invented in 1893, establishing a franchise bottling system of 270 bottlers by 1910. Pepsi struggled in its early years declaring bankruptcy twice. The 1970’s and early 80’s, Pepsi surpassed Coke for the first time. Bottling was a capital-intensive business and involved highly specialized production lines. Bottling and canning could cost between $4 million to $10 million each with a minimal investment cost for a small bottling facility of $25 million to $35 million. It was estimated that 80 to 85 plants were required for full U.S.-distribution, with the cost of a fully efficient large plant with a capacity of 40 million cases to be $75 million in 1998. Among top bottlers in 1998, packaging accounted for 50 per cent of costs of goods sold, concentrate 33 per cent, sweeteners 10 per cent, and labor most of the remaining variable costs. While bottlers’ gross profits often exceeded 40 per cent, operating margins were very thin. Given the intense service provided by the bottlers, the relationship between the bottlers and end retailers was critical to success and sales. Pepsi structured its contracts with bottlers so that bottlers were required to purchase concentrate from Pepsi at prices set by Pepsi, giving them much greater flexibility. In the mid 80’s, Pepsi began acquiring many of its independent bottlers and by the mid 1990’s, Pepsi owned half of these outright and had equity positions in many others. Pepsi focused heavily on diversification within the beverage industry as well as beyond that in first into snack foods, with the merger forming PepsiCo and again with Frito-lay, purchased fast-food chains and casual-dining restaurants. Some of these endeavors went well such as the snack foods while restaurant expansion was failing. Analysts became concerned that Pepsi was over extending itself and was in…
