Folks please review and study these examples I have here as you will need to understand this for the practice problems.
These law are applicable to D.C. Circuits as there is no promise they can always be applied to A.C. circuitry. Why? Unlike D.C. circuits that could have resistors that occur voltage drops across them, or even capacitors that would have a finite time to charge before reaching a steady state or equilibrium state, A.C. circuitry has inductors that rely on the alternating current to produce magnetic energy. Since all this is time dependent it would be very difficult to write equations as we do that clearly have no time dependence to them. Calculus would be required to produce what we call ordinary differential equations which describe rates of change of functions and variables that may depend on more than one or the other of them in a system. In that case we call them partial differential equations. See the attached file. Thanks.

This document is a dissertation submitted by Danial Adibi in April 2016 for the degree of BSc (Hons) in Accounting and Finance at Cass Business School. The dissertation examines the relationship between corporate governance, the UK Corporate Governance Code 2010, and analysts' forecasting performance using a sample of 142 companies listed on the FTSE All-Share Index. The literature review discusses prior research on the role of analysts, corporate governance attributes such as board size and composition, and how these may impact analysts' forecast accuracy and bias. The study aims to contribute new evidence on this topic in the UK market.
This paper aims to analyze the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance among banks in the UK. Previous research has found mixed results on this relationship. The paper conducts an empirical analysis using data from selected UK banks. Various regression models are used to examine the impact of CSR on two measures of financial performance, while controlling for bank size, risk, productivity, and expenditures. The results show a mixed relationship between CSR and financial performance that differs between banks and performance measures. Larger banks seem to have a negative or weak positive correlation, suggesting overspending on CSR. The relationship also varies substantially between the two financial performance measures.

Here are some key points of comparison between Monsanto and DuPont, two major companies involved in genetically engineered crops:
- Size and Scope: Monsanto is solely focused on agriculture, while DuPont is a larger diversified chemical company that also has agriculture as one of its business units.
- Products: Monsanto is best known for Roundup herbicide and "Roundup Ready" crops designed to be resistant to the herbicide. DuPont focuses more on seed traits and technologies rather than herbicides.
- Business Model: Monsanto relies heavily on licensing its patented seed traits to other seed companies. DuPont does more direct seed sales through its Pioneer hybrid seed business.
- Regulatory Issues: Monsanto has faced more controversy

A bank failure is the ending of an insolvent bank by a state or federal regulator. So the only power that closes the national banks is the comptroller who has a higher power in maintaining the currency. It mainly happens when a bank fails where it is assumed by the federal deposit insurance corporation in the insures of deposits. They find a different bank to take it over because various customers will specifically like the continuation using their debit cards, online banking tools, and accounts. So bank failures are mainly often to predict because the federal deposit insurance commission will not announce a particular bank to set go under the profits. Then bank diversification is the procedure that allocates the capital in a specific way because it reduces the exposure to a particular asset or risk. Therefore, the main reason for this bank diversification is to decrease the volatility or risk by investing in various assets (Goetz, 2012).
So considering both of those banking systems can easily relate to the country's economic health by determining the better quality of the loan book of different individual books. Then for maintaining the better quality of advance bank portfolio, there is only one crucial tool where it is credit monitoring. Credit monitoring plays a vital role in protecting the bank's exposures, but it also ensures the various funds that are channeled by maintaining the right purpose. It mainly acts as the guardrail for ensuring the health of banks and countries economically to stay in the right trajectory. Then various technology solutions will be readily available in the market for helping the automated process of credit monitoring to a large extent. They can ensure the functions of credit monitoring to keep the process and objective in the method oriented (Brownbridge, 2002).

Diversification helps individual institutions and makes them be benefited. But Wagner says that the systematic risk increases by the degree of diversification. Raffestin also said something about the diversification that diversification can cause risks and any number of failures also. By the above words, we can know the negative aspects or negative effects of diversification. Systematic risks are very broad and complex term. This diversification process has some of the diversification measures. The indicator of diversification is calculated from the bank’s profitability. There are various methods of diversification. Commonly Alas et al proposed method is used (Mirzaei & Kutan, 2016).
And also the weight average diversification of banks ( AWDI.
This document provides background information and outlines the objectives of a research study examining the relationship between dividend policy and corporate performance of UK firms. Specifically, the study aims to examine how dividend yield and dividend payout ratio relate to measures of firm performance like return on assets, Tobin's Q, and share price volatility. It also seeks to identify other factors, such as debt ratio, firm size, industry, and board size, that influence dividend policy decisions and corporate performance. The methodology will involve collecting data on UK firms from 2005-2010 and using linear regression to analyze the relationships between variables. The research aims to contribute to the ongoing debate around whether and how dividend policy impacts long-term corporate value.
This document provides a summary of an internship report examining the impact of anchoring on charitable contributions and corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending. The report is divided into three parts: 1) an overview of CSR including benefits to firms, 2) a literature review on anchoring effects showing their robust influence on judgments, and 3) a description of two experiments conducted that confirm charitable donations and CSR spending are contaminated by anchors. The internship aimed to study how anchoring may impact companies meeting the minimum 2% CSR spending limit imposed by Indian law.

Here are some key points of comparison between Monsanto and DuPont, two major companies involved in genetically engineered crops:
- Size and Scope: Monsanto is solely focused on agriculture, while DuPont is a larger diversified chemical company that also has agriculture as one of its business units.
- Products: Monsanto is best known for Roundup herbicide and "Roundup Ready" crops designed to be resistant to the herbicide. DuPont focuses more on seed traits and technologies rather than herbicides.
- Business Model: Monsanto relies heavily on licensing its patented seed traits to other seed companies. DuPont does more direct seed sales through its Pioneer hybrid seed business.
- Regulatory Issues: Monsanto has faced more controversy

A bank failure is the ending of an insolvent bank by a state or federal regulator. So the only power that closes the national banks is the comptroller who has a higher power in maintaining the currency. It mainly happens when a bank fails where it is assumed by the federal deposit insurance corporation in the insures of deposits. They find a different bank to take it over because various customers will specifically like the continuation using their debit cards, online banking tools, and accounts. So bank failures are mainly often to predict because the federal deposit insurance commission will not announce a particular bank to set go under the profits. Then bank diversification is the procedure that allocates the capital in a specific way because it reduces the exposure to a particular asset or risk. Therefore, the main reason for this bank diversification is to decrease the volatility or risk by investing in various assets (Goetz, 2012).
So considering both of those banking systems can easily relate to the country's economic health by determining the better quality of the loan book of different individual books. Then for maintaining the better quality of advance bank portfolio, there is only one crucial tool where it is credit monitoring. Credit monitoring plays a vital role in protecting the bank's exposures, but it also ensures the various funds that are channeled by maintaining the right purpose. It mainly acts as the guardrail for ensuring the health of banks and countries economically to stay in the right trajectory. Then various technology solutions will be readily available in the market for helping the automated process of credit monitoring to a large extent. They can ensure the functions of credit monitoring to keep the process and objective in the method oriented (Brownbridge, 2002).

Diversification helps individual institutions and makes them be benefited. But Wagner says that the systematic risk increases by the degree of diversification. Raffestin also said something about the diversification that diversification can cause risks and any number of failures also. By the above words, we can know the negative aspects or negative effects of diversification. Systematic risks are very broad and complex term. This diversification process has some of the diversification measures. The indicator of diversification is calculated from the bank’s profitability. There are various methods of diversification. Commonly Alas et al proposed method is used (Mirzaei & Kutan, 2016).
And also the weight average diversification of banks ( AWDI.
This document provides background information and outlines the objectives of a research study examining the relationship between dividend policy and corporate performance of UK firms. Specifically, the study aims to examine how dividend yield and dividend payout ratio relate to measures of firm performance like return on assets, Tobin's Q, and share price volatility. It also seeks to identify other factors, such as debt ratio, firm size, industry, and board size, that influence dividend policy decisions and corporate performance. The methodology will involve collecting data on UK firms from 2005-2010 and using linear regression to analyze the relationships between variables. The research aims to contribute to the ongoing debate around whether and how dividend policy impacts long-term corporate value.

Oklahoma City: The Birthplace of Strategic Doing Ed Morrison
25 years after helping to launch Oklahoma City's rebirth, I returned to celebrate. Why? Because OKC is the birthplace of Strategic Doing.
From 1993-2000, I helped guide the civic leadership in the rebirth of their city. In the process, I worked on a new model of complex collaboration. It turns out we can build these complex collaborations by following a discipline of simple rules..
In my presentation, I explained how I took the lessons we learned from OKC and applied them in a wide range of really complex situations.
Now it’s an open source discipline we are spreading across the world with a growing network of universities.
My path with OKC's leadership is crossing again, and we have some exciting announcements coming.
Stay tuned.

8. Upon reviewing former CEO Jeff Swartz’s final blog post, do you agree or disagree with his
finding that the business world has shifted to sustainability
Solution
Yes agree that world is shifting to sustainability
The era of corporations integrating sustainable practices is being surpassed by a new age of
corporations actively transforming the market to make it more sustainable.
Business sustainability has come a long way. From the dawn of the modern environmental
movement and the establishment of environmental regulations in the 1970s, it has become a
strategic concern driven by market forces. Today, more than 90 percent of CEOs state that
sustainability is important to their company’s success, and companies develop sustainability
strategies, market sustainable products and services, create positions such as chief sustainability
officer, and publish sustainability reports for consumers, investors, activists, and the public at
large.
This trend will not abate anytime soon. Surveys show that 88 percent of business school students
think that learning about social and environmental issues in business is a priority, and 67 percent
want to incorporate environmental sustainability into their future jobs. To meet this demand, the
percentage of business schools that require students to take a course dedicated to business and
society increased from 34 percent in 2001 to 79 percent in 2011, and specific academic programs
on business sustainability can now be found in 46 percent of the top 100 US master of business
administration (MBA) programs.
For all this interest, we should expect the world to become more sustainable. But problems such
as climate change, water scarcity, species extinction, and many others continue to worsen.
Sustainable business is reaching the limits of what it can accomplish in its present form. It is
slowing the velocity at which we are approaching a crisis, but we are not changing course.
Instead of tinkering around the edges of the market with new products and services, business
must now transform it. That is the focus of the next phase of business sustainability, and we can
see signs that it is emerging.
The first phase of business sustainability, what we at the University of Michigan’s Erb Institute
call “enterprise integration,” is founded on a model of business responding to market shifts to
increase competitive positioning by integrating sustainability into preexisting business
considerations. By contrast, the next phase of business sustainability, what we call “market
transformation,” is founded on a model of business transforming the market. Instead of waiting
for a market shift to create incentives for sustainable practices, companies are creating those
shifts to enable new forms of business sustainability.
Enterprise integration is geared toward present-day measures of success; market transformation
will help companies create tomorrow’s measures. The first is focused on reducing
unsustainability; the second is focuse.

The document discusses harnessing investment to solve global problems by making impact investing more mainstream and profitable. It notes that $90 trillion will be invested in infrastructure over the next 15 years, while global philanthropy is only $500-600 billion. Impact investing, which focuses on social/environmental solutions, could be 30 times more impactful if the $16-18 trillion in global savings was directed that way. However, impact investing currently makes up only 1-2% of the market. The document proposes moving investments along two axes - social/environmental benefit and financial return - to attract more mainstream investors by making impact investing "boring and profitable."

Here are the key differences between a mutual fund and an index fund:
- A mutual fund is actively managed by a professional fund manager who buys and sells assets to try to beat the market. An index fund passively tracks a market index by buying all or most of the securities in that index.
- Mutual funds have higher annual fees than index funds on average since they require active management. Index funds have lower fees since they do not require active stock picking.
- Mutual funds can potentially outperform the market if the fund manager's stock picks do well. However, most actively managed funds underperform the market average over the long run due to their higher fees. Index funds match the market return before fees.

The manager has asked you to construct a plan of action and milestones (POA&M) given that the following vulnerabilities and mitigations were identified:
The penetration test showed that not all systems had malware protection software in place. The mitigation was to write a malware defense process to include all employees and retest the system after the process was implemented.
The penetration test indicated that the data server that houses employee payroll records had an admin password of “admin.” The mitigation was to perform extensive hardening of the data server.
The penetration test also identified many laptop computers that employees brought to work and connected to the internal network,some of which were easily compromised. The mitigation was to write a bring your own device (BYOD) policy for all employees and train the employees how to use their devices at work.

Here are the key differences between a mutual fund and an index fund:
- A mutual fund is actively managed by a professional fund manager who buys and sells assets to try to beat the market. An index fund passively tracks a market index by buying all or most of the securities in that index.
- Mutual funds have higher annual fees than index funds on average since they require active management. Index funds have lower fees since they do not require active stock picking.
- Mutual funds can potentially outperform the market if the fund manager's stock picks do well. However, most actively managed funds underperform the market average over the long run due to their higher fees. Index funds match the market return before fees.

Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test on your network. Several vulnerabilities were identified, and the IT security management team has recommended mitigation. The manager has asked you to construct a plan of action and milestones (POA&M) given that the following vulnerabilities and mitigations were identified:
The penetration test showed that not all systems had malware protection software in place. The mitigation was to write a malware defense process to include all employees and retest the system after the process was implemented.
The penetration test indicated that the data server that houses employee payroll records had an admin password of “admin.” The mitigation was to perform extensive hardening of the data server.
The penetration test also identified many laptop computers that employees brought to work and connected to the internal network,some of which were easily compromised. The mitigation was to write a bring your own device (BYOD) policy for all employees and train the employees how to use their devices at work.

Your company You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME.docxhyacinthshackley2629
Your company: You are a new Supply Chain Analyst with the ACME Corporation. We design specialty electronics that are components in larger finished goods such as major appliances, automobiles and industrial equipment. Manufacturing is outsourced to low-cost suppliers due to the significant labor contribution and closeness to electronic component suppliers.
Your product: ACME Corp. designs a leading-edge family of devices branded as “Voice Assistants.” These are add-on boxes that many OEMs are using as plug-and-play devices in a wide variety of Internet-of-Things products. They are also sold directly to consumers as after-market items, but only for IoT devices that were built with our proprietary data-port.
Figure 1: Product line of ACME Corp Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Boxes
Your task: Your Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) is requesting a review of supplier-to-customer processes as related to recent growth in our company and increasing demand for faster responsiveness to customers. One alternative is to decentralize our inventory into regional Distribution Centers; however, our ERP system is currently limited in the data available to make some of these decisions – and the output reports are very antiquated. Starting off the process, the CSCO directed that your Analysis Team use population data to pro-rate our national sales data as a starting point. For this analysis, you are asked to focus only on the flagship product, Voice Assistant IoT Add-on Box, 4GB, SKU #123-456789. The challenge is now yours to complete some computations and interpret the results!
Your data: A detailed report from your ERP system along with secondary data from the U.S. Census Bureau (reference: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/data-sets.html) is provided. (Note: Sales to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are handled by a 3PL provider and therefore are NOT part of this analysis.) The consolidated EXCEL® file has incorporated several tasks already performed by the Analysis Team --- sort, cleanse, inventory optimization, etc. Other tasks remain for your team.
Detailed Requirements: Prepare a formal report summarizing your results and providing recommendations that are supported by facts. The required layout follows:
A. Supply Chain Management:
a. Identify a single key supplier and a single key customer for your product, including a brief description of their product.
b. Identify the proper type of business relationship that your company should have with the supplier and customer from Part A, above, then briefly describe the data that you would share with them.
c. When implementing Supply Chain Management with your #1 key supplier for the first time, create a timeline that lists each of the six SCOR processes in the order that you recommend implementation; include process leader (by job title), primary contact at supplier/customer (by job title), and duration to implement.

Folks please review and study these examples I have here as
you will need to understand this for the practice problems.
These law are applicable to D.C. Circuits as there is no promise
they can always be applied to A.C. circuitry. Why? Unlike D.C.
circuits that could have resistors that occur voltage drops across
them, or even capacitors that would have a finite time to charge
before reaching a steady state or equilibrium state, A.C.
circuitry has inductors that rely on the alternating current to
produce magnetic energy. Since all this is time dependent it
would be very difficult to write equations as we do that clearly
have no time dependence to them. Calculus would be required
to produce what we call ordinary differential equations which
describe rates of change of functions and variables that may
depend on more than one or the other of them in a system. In
that case we call them partial differential equations. See the
attached file. Thanks.
Practice problems -SHOW ALL WORK for ALL problems (even
the multiple choice ones) on the practice. . See Kirchoff's
Laws. Solve electric loop circuits using the two rules. There
are out two examples for you to review. Do this BEFORE you

We expand the concept of changing electric and magnetic fields
and how indeed these fields produce waves of a type we never
encountered in physics part one. Electromagnetic waves are
energy and can travel in vacuum at the speed of light. From
these laws comes the unification that the electromagnetic

anything from long radio waves to very short cosmic rays.

Impact of PepsiCo’s mission, vision, and primary stakeholders.
PepsiCo’s mission statement is very strong and indicates a
company that is focused on success while striving to be
responsible corporate citizens. Their vision shows their
commitment to their mission while building sustainability. They
top off these two statements with what they call “Performance
with Purpose” which is a very strong statement as well.
(Mission & Vision, 2012). (See appendix A). These statements
have a huge impact on PepsiCo’s overall success. In the
business environment today, not only what is said in these
statements, but the actions that follow greatly impact
5. consumers, suppliers, shareholders, customers, employees, and
communities. These are all very important stakeholders, which
impact the success of the company.
You can clearly see in PepsiCo’s mission and vision
statements that they realize the importance of balancing all
stakeholders’ interest. The stakeholders have a positive impact
on PepsiCo’s overall success through strategic planning and
strategic management processes. The mission and vision
statements set the path for management to follow when making
decisions about how to manage all sides of their operations to
insure that all stakeholders’ interest is covered while creating
competitive advantages. They are cognitive about the fact that
the decisions they make affect the stakeholders differently.
PepsiCo has done a very good job balancing their decisions in
such a way that the primary stakeholders are satisfied while still
practicing ethically. (Hitt, Ireland, & Hoskisson, 2013).
Staying true to their mission and vision statements have
contributed to keeping their stakeholders happy, resulting in a
recipe for success. This is evident when you look at the success
PepsiCo has enjoyed. They are in a highly competitive market
and have remained successful doing business worldwide. This is
an indication that this combination along with good strategies,
management and implementation is working for them and can
work for others as well. We can now look at how the five (5)
forces of competition impacts the company. (Hitt, et al., 2013).
Analysis of the five (5) Forces of competition and how they
impact the company.
The five (5) forces of competition (FOC) effects every
company in some way. The impact from each part of the FOC
differs from one company to another. For PepsiCo, rivalry
among competing firms is the most prominent of the FOC, as it
pertains to negative impacts. This is not to say that each of the
others do not impact PepsiCo, but the company has implemented
processes and strategies that have actually turned some of these
into advantages. For example, the bargaining power of suppliers
could adversely impact production. However, PepsiCo partners
6. with their suppliers in such a way that the suppliers benefit
more by being cooperative instead of trying to leverage their
position. A good example of this is found in PepsiCo’s
commitment to their stakeholders. (Nooyt, I., 2011).
PepsiCo suppliers enjoy the benefits from the extensive
R&D that the company does. They share information and are
actively involved with all their suppliers giving them
technology and information that they may not otherwise have.
This helps them create relationships with suppliers that are very
difficult to imitate. As for the bargaining power of buyers, it is
clear that they want the lowest price possible. For PepsiCo,
“wholesale distributors, grocery stores, convenience stores,
mass merchandisers, membership stores, authorized independent
bottlers and foodservice distributors, including hotels and
restaurants” are their primary customers (Nooyt, I., 2011, p. 26,
para. 4).
PepsiCo enjoys good relationships with their customers.
According to Nooyt, I., (2011),
Since we do not sell directly to the consumer, we rely
on and provide financial incentives
to our customers to assist in the distribution and
promotion of our products. For our independent distributors and
retailers, these incentives include volume- based rebates,
product placement fees, promotions and displays. For our
independent bottlers, these incentives are referred to as bottler
funding and are negotiated annually with each bottler to support
a variety of trade and consumer programs, such as consumer
incentives, advertising support, new product support, and
vending and cooler equipment placement. (p. 26, para. 5).
Customers that enjoy this kind of support are more likely to
remain dedicated to PepsiCo. The iconic brands that PepsiCo
offers contribute to this as well. Threats of substitute products
and threats of new entrants are always a concern for PepsiCo.
(Hitt, et al., 2013).
Even though they have many core competencies, hard to
imitate products and processes, as well as, branding to help
7. combat these threats, they do not ignore them. These threats
impact the company’s financial returns, especially during
economic down turns. However, dedicated brand loyalty
consumers would not be affected by these companies. PepsiCo
also has been able to respond to these threats through
innovative product offerings and smaller packaging processes.
Now we will look at rivalry among competing firms. We all
know that there has always been and probably will always be
rivalries between PepsiCo and Coca Cola, at least in the
beverage sector. (Nooyt, I., 2011).
This rivalry impacts PepsiCo’s beverage sales which the two
companies rank #1 and #2 worldwide. This rivalry has a history
of going back and forth, neither one has completely ran off with
the #1 position through the years. However, PepsiCo is able to
supplement the losses from the beverage sector through product
diversification. They also spend a great deal of money and
effort in marketing campaigns. An analysis of the FOC gives us
valuable information and a SWOT analysis can give us even
more useful information.
SWOT analysis.
When you look at the company’s history, it is easy to
determine their strengths and weaknesses. We will look at their
strengths first. PepsiCo has generated a diverse portfolio and a
strong brand through the years. They have enjoyed robust
growth and operating income. They also have a presence in
emerging markets and are expanding. They have a second to
none distribution network. As for their weaknesses, PepsiCo is
not perfect; they have weaknesses like any other company.
One of their biggest weaknesses is dependence on large
retailers like Wal-Mart. This causes them problems because
their business strategies are different. For example, “Wal-
Mart’s low price themes put pressure on PepsiCo to hold down
prices” (SWOT Analysis, 2012). Another weakness PepsiCo has
that also exist in most any Food and Beverage Company is
regulations on the industry and allegations about ingredients
used in their products. (MarketLine, 2011, June. 8). Now we can
8. look at their opportunities and threats.
There is no shortage of opportunities available to PepsiCo,
especially in the global market. People are spending more on
food in emerging markets, creating opportunities for expansion.
This also creates opportunities for PepsiCo to be innovative in
their product offerings to meet local taste. Consumer
preferences are changing, opening the door for PepsiCo to offer
nutritious and healthy products. (MarketLine, 2011). However,
there are threats that come along with these opportunities.
These include more competition, especially from private labels.
They are also faced with rising food and commodity prices,
making it more difficult to compete on price levels. Then of
course, “intensifying competition from Coca Cola”
(MarketLine, 2011, p. 31). However, PepsiCo can respond to the
items in this SWOT analysis by implementing a strategy that
will enable them to capitalize on strengths and opportunities,
while minimizing their weaknesses and threats.
Strategy for the company to capitalize on its strengths and
opportunities, and minimize its weaknesses and threats.
Implementing a strategy to take full advantage of the
company’s strengths and opportunities is a crucial step for the
company to minimize their weaknesses and threats. The strategy
that PepsiCo should use is to continue building on their “unique
commitment to sustainable growth, called “Performance with
Purpose” (Management Approach, 2012). This strategy has been
working for them, but as the business environment changes,
focuses within the strategy has to change as well. PepsiCo does
a good job at R&D, customer and consumer feedback channels,
and development processes to capitalize on their strengths and
opportunities while finding ways to minimize weaknesses and
threats.
Already in place, they focus on developing new products
and/or changing existing products to be locally relevant. They
should continue to build on their diverse product portfolio and
leverage their brand equity. They need to reinvest in these areas
to continue sustaining a competitive position in the market.
9. They should also continue to find ways in creating affordable
products for emerging markets. They also need to use their
superior technology for strengthening supply chain and go-to-
market capabilities. The number one thing they need to do is
continue to follow consumer trends and develop products that
meet their needs, as well as, continue the path of being good
corporate citizens. If they do this, the weaknesses and threats
will be minimized. (Management Approach, 2012). We will
now look at strategies for maximizing competitiveness and
profitability.
Various levels and types of strategies to maximize the firms
competitiveness and profitability.
PepsiCo should use the international integrated cost
leadership/differentiation strategy as their business level
strategy. This is the best strategy for them to use since they
have such a diverse portfolio of products. They also operate in
many different environments where simply using one strategy
would not be effective. Some areas require the company to be
price conscious where in others areas consumers may be drawn
by difference. They should use the functional structure to
implement this strategy since the decision making needs to be
partially centralized and decentralized. This is necessary when
trying to operate with local relevance. PepsiCo also needs to
incorporate a good international corporate level strategy. (Hitt,
et al., 2013).
PepsiCo should use the transnational strategy since they
want to “achieve both global efficiency and local
responsiveness” (Hitt, et al., 2013, p. 236, para. 3). This
strategy is implemented through “shared vision and individual
commitment through an integrated network” (Hitt, et al., 2013,
p. 236, para. 4). PepsiCo should use the related constrained
diversification strategy since each business shares product
technologies and distribution channels. Each division of the
company shares technology, information, processes, and
marketing.
Included in the international corporate level strategies,
10. PepsiCo needs to integrate the multidivisional (m-form)
structure since they have different divisions located around the
world. They should also use the cooperative form of the
multidivisional (M-form) structure for implementation of this
strategy. “Sharing divisional competencies facilitates the
cooperation’s efforts to develop economies of scope” (Hitt, et
al., 2013, p.339, para. 2). In order for these strategies to work,
the company must accurately communicate them to all
stakeholders.
Communications plan the company could use to make the
strategies known to all stakeholders.
To communicate strategies to all stakeholders, the company
would need to use different sources to do so. Communication
should start with top management putting together teams and
task forces to delegate the flow of information since the sharing
of resources, capabilities, core competencies, and information
will be distributed through many different divisions. This will
also insure that the right information is getting to the right
people. These teams will be responsible for both incoming and
outgoing information. Then meetings should be held to include
the managers who would be responsible for carrying out
operational activities and training done where needed. Letters
should be sent out to shareholders as well as communicated in
shareholder meetings. (Hitt, et al., 2013).
The strategies can also be communicated through the
company’s website, email, and media when appropriate. The
sales team should be responsible for communicating with the
customers. Consumers can be informed through the media with
advertising campaigns. However, certain information does not
need to be shared; only the appropriate information needs to be
given to some stakeholders. For example, consumers only need
to know what is going to benefit them; they do not need to know
the particulars involved. Another example is for the
shareholders, they are interested in how these strategies are
going to benefit their bottom line, and they may not care about
whether decisions are centralized or decentralized. This is
11. another reason there should be teams and task forces created.
They can monitor and direct the flow of information. (Hitt, et
al., 2013). We will now look at corporate governance
mechanisms.
Evaluation of how effective two (2) corporate governance
mechanisms are at controlling managerial actions.
The Board of Directors is one mechanism that PepsiCo uses
and the way it is used is very effective at controlling managerial
actions. “PepsiCo's business strategy and affairs are overseen
by our Board of Directors, which is comprised of one executive
director and twelve independent outside directors” (PepsiCo
Inc., 2012). Having outside independent board members can
sometimes see things from a different prospective than someone
inside the company. Inside board members may be too close or
attached to a situation which can keep them from seeing the
whole picture. PepsiCo also elects a diverse group of people for
their board of directors, adding another dimension. (PepsiCo
Inc., 2012).
PepsiCo has also appointed committee charters to enhance
their corporate governance. For example, they have a
nominating and corporate governance committee charter, an
audit committee, and a compensation committee. All of which
are made up of independent Directors of the Board. The
compensation committee is the second mechanism that PepsiCo
uses that is effective in controlling managerial actions. This
committee does much more than making sure that executive
compensation is in line with industry norms and report
executive compensations “ in accordance with applicable rules
and regulations” (PepsiCo, 2012).
One of the ways that this mechanism is effective is through
periodic reviews of managerial performance, assessments of any
conflict of interest, and oversees executive evaluations. Many
of the responsibilities of this committee make it very difficult
for an executive to act opportunistic. For example, according to
PepsiCo, (2012), the committee has sixteen primary
responsibilities that include:
12. Oversee the evaluation of the executive officers1 and other key
executives deemed to be
under the Committee’s purview (other than the CEO), and
evaluate and approve, based on the recommendation of the CEO,
the individual elements of total compensation, including special
benefit and perquisite practices, and the hiring and termination
terms for such officers. Periodically review the Corporation’s
compensation policies and practices for employees to assess
whether such policies and practices could lead to unnecessary
risk-taking behavior. (n.p.).
When you look at the success of PepsiCo and their track record
for employee satisfaction, it appears that this mechanism is
being used correctly and has a positive effect on managerial
actions. Effective leadership is another very important element
for success.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of leadership including at least
one recommendation for improvement.
PepsiCo illustrates very effective leadership. This is evident
when you look at their track record of achievements and
employee satisfaction. You can also see this when you look at
their relationships with other organizations and stakeholders.
They have a complete understanding about the value of talented
human capital. “PepsiCo is committed to hiring developing and
retaining employees from diverse backgrounds” (Management
Approach, 2012). Diversity is a very important element for a
global corporation. PepsiCo understands this and has put in
place a “Global Diversity and Inclusion Governance Council”
(Management Approach, 2012). PepsiCo has extensive councils,
training programs, and sustainability leadership programs to
ensure that their leaders and associates are effective.
(Management Approach, 2012).
According to Annual Report, (2011),
Our attention to leadership development has earned PepsiCo
recognition on numerous 2011 rankings as one of the best places
to work. We also were recognized in 2011 as a “Top Company
for Leaders” by Aon Hewitt, Fortune and the RBL Group and as
13. one of the “Best Companies for Leadership” by Hay Group.
(p.16, para. 3).
The company has earned many more awards, too many to list
here. PepsiCo also takes pride in building strong ties with their
external stakeholders. They are actively involved with their
external stakeholders, sharing information and technology. They
are very successful with communicating their objectives through
a “heterogeneous top management team” which is effective at
getting people to “think outside the box” (Hitt, et al., 2013).
Considering that everything you find when looking at PepsiCo’s
leadership, it is difficult to think of any recommendation for
improvement.
When you look at the criteria involved in determining
effective leadership, PepsiCo has it covered. After all, they
have strategies in place that are effective in developing human
capital and social capital, organizational culture, ethical
practices, and organizational controls. (Hitt, et al., 2013).
PepsiCo has leadership committees, councils, and teams in
every aspect of their business making sure that the right people
are in place doing the right thing. So, when trying to come up
with a recommendation for improvement, there appears to be
none needed. PepsiCo not only has excellent leadership, but
they also do a very good job at being responsible (ethical)
corporate citizens.
Assessment of the efforts by the corporation to be responsible
(ethical) corporate citizens and a determination of the impact
they have on the bottom line.
In the global business environment today, this is one of the
most important parts of doing business. PepsiCo realizes this
and have taken huge measures in trying to be one of the best in
this area, as well as, one of the leaders. It is clearly stated in
their mission and vision statements, along with their values and
philosophy. Acting ethically is one of PepsiCo’s top priorities
as evident in their code of conduct. They not only have a code
of conduct for the employees, but they include one for their
suppliers as well. Included in this code of conduct; “we believe
14. acting ethically and responsibly is not only the right thing to do,
but also the right thing to do for our business”(PepsiCo Inc.
2012). PepsiCo has multiple teams, committees, and councils
overseeing everything pertaining to ethics and environmental
issues.
PepsiCo also has joined up with various organizations
around the world in efforts to help in all areas of the
environment. Some of those include The World Food
Programme, USAID, UN CEO Water Mandate, UN Global
Compact, UN Caring for Climate, The business Leadership
Platform, and International Policy Declaration on Water.
PepsiCo also has; “Environmental Sustainability Leadership
Team (ESLT), the PepsiCo Environmental Compliance Council
(ECC) and Environmental Sustainability Council (ESC)”
(Management Approach, 2012). These are to mention just a few.
PepsiCo is steadfast about being responsible corporate citizens
in every aspect of their business; they also contribute large
amounts of time and money into the communities. Not only the
communities in which they operate, but others as well.
The actions that PepsiCo has taken to be responsible
corporate citizens have also contributed to their bottom line in
many ways. Through their R&D in different areas of the
environment, many cost savings have been developed. For
example, they have enjoyed cost savings in production through
their efforts to cut back on water usage. Also through
agriculture innovations that help farmers produce more crops at
a lower cost has afforded them a cost saving in supplies. Last
but not least, finding ways to use alternative fuels has created
huge saving in energy cost resulting a positive effect on their
bottom line. This is evidence that doing the right thing can be
profitable. (PepsiCo Inc. 2012).You could go on and on with
this section of this paper since PepsiCo is an industry leader in
this category, and they are defiantly responsible corporate
citizens.
