In 1998, PepsiCo acquired Tropicana for $3.3 billion. This acquisition placed PepsiCo in direct competition with Coca-Cola, which owned Minute Maid, in the non-fizzy drinks market. This decision to acquire Tropicana helped PepsiCo expand its product range.
Two years later, in 2000, PepsiCo acquired Quaker Oats for $13.4 billion. This decision added a huge range of cereals and snack food products to the PepsiCo empire and gave PepsiCo control of Quaker’s popular and lucrative sports drink brand, Gatorade.
Both the above decisions made by Indra Nooyi helped PepsiCo become a global leader in the food and beverage industry. She also decided to redirect PepsiCo’s corporate spending away from junk foods and into healthier alternatives. She reclassified PepsiCo’s wide-ranging products into three categories: ‘fun for you’ (such as potato chips and regular soda), ‘better for you’ (diet or low-fat versions of snacks and fizzy drinks), and ‘good for you’ (Quaker Oats oatmeal)
In 2015, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, announced a major restructuring of Google into a new holding company called Alphabet, with Google becoming a subsidiary of Alphabet. This restructuring was aimed at making Google’s operations more transparent and accountable, and to allow the company to focus on its core businesses.
Alphabet was created as a collection of companies, with Google being just one of them. This decision allowed Google to focus on its core businesses, such as search, advertising, and YouTube, while the other companies could operate independently.
Making decisions is an integral part of our lives. It is a skill that can be honed and improved over time. In this article, we will discuss one habit that can change your life: Decision Making. We will also look at real-life examples of people who have succeeded because of the timely decisions they have taken and advice from well-known leaders on this habit.
As seen in both the examples stated above, decision-making was the habit which helped both leaders take their respective organizations to new heights.
The one habit that can change your life is to make decisions on time. Procrastination can lead to missed opportunities and can cause you to fall behind. Making decisions on time can help you stay ahead of the curve and can lead to success.
There are many more examples of people who have succeeded because of the timely decisions they have taken.
