After reading the case study “PepsiCo” I find so many great lessons. I believe other companies can replicate the “performance with a purpose” concept used by PepsiCo. Either a small or large company performance with a purpose can also become great using this strategy. Companies that offer other products and services can use the concept since it allows the leader to communicate with employees, ensuring a quality product is offered, minimizing ingredients that are not health beneficial to customers, allowing participation, motivating employees to contribute their quota, and the likes. I got amazed by the fact that PepsiCo CEO “Indra Nooyi” doesn’t take “I don’t know” for an answer rather she will insist the team come up with an alternative solution.
