From the Paper
"PepsiCo is on an upswing, Coca-Cola is headed in the opposite direction. For 2004, Pepsis' net income rose to $457 million, or $1.73 a share, from the previous year's $416 million, $1.50 a share (Pepsi Bottling Group 4Q profit increases). For 2005, Pepsi expects earnings of $1.78 to $1.87 per share. Coca-Cola has not yet released full year 2004 results. However, for the first nine months of the year, its net income declined to $514 million, or $1.09 a share, from the prior year's $545 million, or $1.19 a share (Coca-Cola Enterprises' profit falls). For the full year 2004, Coca-Cola expects earning of $1.21 to $1.25 a share and has recently cut long-term growth targets for operating income to a range of six percent to eight percent from ten percent. Shares of PepsiCo have outperformed those of Coca-Cola for two decades (Twitchell, 2004). In the past five years, Pepsi's stock has returned sixty-nine percent, while Coke investors have lost more than twenty percent of their money."

The Beverage Industry: Coke vs. Pepsi
Industry Overview
Just before the turn of the century, prospective soft drinks were being formulated by southern pharmacists, with an eye towards relieving indigestion (Hoover's, 1995). From the first decade of the twentieth century until the 1960s, the competition in the beverage industry was primarily between equals; Coca Cola fought it out with Pepsi Cola for market share, and juice or coffee companies competed with each other.
In the 1960s, the competitive edge in the beverage industry went to Coca Cola, with its purchase of Minute Maid in 1960, the introduction of Sprite in 1961, and the introduction of Tab in 1963 (Hoover's, 1995)."

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares the soft drink companies that produce Coca Cola and Pepsi, giants within their respected industry. The paper contends that each company has its own unique way to reach the consumer, which is the ultimate company goal. The paper discusses how these two companies really match up against each other. Are they both giants of the same size, or does one have more net worth than the other? Is it Coke or Pepsi you'll be having today?
From the Paper
"Coca-Cola was created on May 8, 1886 by Dr. John Stith Pemberton, an Atlanta Pharmacist. Pemberton was curious about the caramel-colored liquid he created so he took the syrup a few doors down to Jacobs' Pharmacy. The syrup was mixed with carbonated water and the rest is effervescent history. During the first year Jacobs' pharmacy sold about nine glasses of Coca-Cola a day at five cents per glass. In the 119 years since then, Coca-Cola has produced 10 Billion gallons of syrup which are used to produce more than 400 different brands of beverages today. Dr. Pemberton was a great inventor to create the ingredients for the most popular soft drink in the world, but not the smartest businessman. In 1891 Dr. Pemberton sold the company to an Atlanta businessman, Asa Griggs Candler, for $2,300."

Abstract
This paper examines the PepsiCo company, a company that is popularly associated with its flagship product Pepsi Cola. The paper explains that, while Pepsi Cola is a sizable portion of PepsiCo's revenue stream, PepsiCo actually has significant revenue generated from a slew of other products and divisions such as PepsiCo Beverages North America, PepsiCo International, Frito-Lay and Quaker Foods North America. The paper also looks at how PepsiCo's Pepsi Cola has long been second in market share to Coca-Cola and how the competition between Pepsi and Coke has been the stuff of business school legend for many years. However, thanks to a series of strategic acquisitions and market entry moves internationally, PepsiCo as a company has finally overtaken Coke in overall market share and performance. It could be said that PepsiCo has lost the cola battle but won the overall war with its arch-rival Coca-Cola Company.

Coke-Pepsi Comparison, 2005.
PepsiCo verses Coke.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the marketing device that Coke and PepsiCo each use in their advertising strategies of specifically referring to the others' products. In some ways this is counter-productive since it indirectly elevates the market awareness of the competitor's products. Yet, since these two companies dominate the cola market it behooves them to ensure that the market perceives the benefits of their specific product in relation to the other. The paper also looks at how PepsiCo has finally managed to overtake Coke in overall market share and performance.
From the Paper
"PepsiCo is popularly associated with its flagship product Pepsi Cola. Since Pepsi Cola is a sizable portion of PepsiCo's revenue stream, PepsiCo has always struggled to confront Coke's market dominance through advertising which often portrays Pepsi Cola in head to head comparisons to Coca-Cola (Overview). The result is that both companies' products are often portrayed in each others' advertisements. PepsiCo's Pepsi Cola has long been second in market share to Coca-Cola and the competition between Pepsi and Coke has been the stuff of business school legend for many years. However, recently, thanks to a series of strategic acquisitions and marketing campaigns run internationally, PepsiCo has finally overtaken Coke in overall market share and performance: "PEPSICO...has raced ahead of...Coke.."

From the Paper
"Most business-to-consumer sites operate similar to the traditional brick and mortar stores in terms of the supply chain. These companies typically have various suppliers from which they purchase either finished products or raw materials for the in-house production of a product. Many of those e-businesses that purchase finished products for resale are wholesalers. These companies or individuals contract with larger organizations to sell a company's product to the end-user for a small profit. Often these wholesalers do not have to maintain any sort of inventory, as the delivery of the product occurs via drop shipments."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"It would be simple to say that both Pepsi and Coke are in the soft drink business, but the truth today is that both are engaged in the overall beverage industry. Both distribute soft drinks, water, juices, teas, coffees, and isotonic. The number of SKUs has grown from one to approximately 300, mostly in the past decade (Foote, 2005). Both Pepsi and Coke share a common history. Both were born in the rural South and created by drugstore operators. Both drinks were originally marketed as ''medicines,'' not "liquid candy" (McDonough, 1998)."

Abstract
A report on B2B (Business - to - Business) models. Reviews the web sites of merisel.com, kellypaper.com and intellibusiness.com. Evaluates how these sites are set up for value-added suppliers and other business users. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on to the information technology train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling. In addition to simply sharing forecasts and products, successful B2Bs work jointly to provide greater supply chain services, and ultimately larger profits for all partners involved.
From the Paper
"Although business-to-business activities occur both offline and online, the acronym B2B has come to be known and described as the online version. There is much hype given to the potential size of B2B markets and how much bigger it may get than the online business-to-consumer (B2C) world. The gravy train that drives these expectations is the hopes that information technology (IT) will deliver an inflection point in productivity and economic growth. With the use of well-planned business models, many B2Bs have jumped on this gravy train and are experiencing improved profit margins through supply chain efficiencies-from purchasing, to manufacturing and selling.

Abstract
This paper explains that business-to-business (B2B) enterprises were characterized by business owners seeking more efficient methods of buying and selling their products and services to other similarly situated companies. Today, B2B companies recognize the constraints inherent in these approaches and are refining their supply chain management practices. The author points out that when products have both low demand and supply uncertainties, the basis of competition is efficiency. There are two dimensions of efficiency: Cost and the coordination of information. The paper relates that the ability to provide predictable demand patterns and a stable supply process will allow companies to improve their supply chain efficiencies so that the cost of providing the product to the customers is the lowest possible.

"As a result, supply chain management has emerged as one of the major areas for companies to gain a competitive edge. The supply chain refers to the linked set of resources and processes that begins with the sourcing of raw material and extends through the delivery of end items to the final customer. The supply chain includes vendors, manufacturing facilities, logistics providers, internal distribution centers, distributors, wholesalers and all other entities that lead up to final customer acceptance; however, the extended supply chain for a given company may also include secondary vendors to their immediate vendors, and the customers of their immediate customers."

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal system has been greatly affected by the security and regulatory concerns affecting e-business, and as a result, existing laws have changed and new ones have been implemented accordingly. In recent years, the importance of legal issues in information systems security as it affects the pharmaceutical industry is a pressing concern for both governments and healthcare organizations regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The regulations implemented by HIPAA increase the security of patient sensitive information, which cannot be exchanged by third parties unless consented to by the patient. This law was implemented to increase the protection of identifiable information of patients such as name, address, contact information, and diagnosis."

From the Paper
"E-business and e-commerce initiatives require scalability because of the rapid growth such business models are capable of. Cunningham states that e-enabled businesses can grow and expand so rapidly that if scalability is not built into the system, technological infrastructures can become antiquated within a period of months because of the wide exposure that internet based operating platforms provide (2001, p.93). Additionally, scalability is a quality that enhances the geographic diversity that many organizations exhibit in the contemporary business environment. Scalability ensures that any remote addition to an operation can simply plug-in to the existing IT infrastructure without burdening the overall system."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the differences in the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) business models on the Internet. It describes how different marketing methods would need to be employed by different commercial models and then discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each model (B2B and B2C) for particular business situations.
From the Paper
"However, the advertising style on a B2B site is different to that of a B2C in that there is less need to attract spurious clients and the general public. There is a less ostentatious and more low-key approach to the method of advertising. "The web sites usually are rather plain, with no flashing graphics or animation. The presence of links to examples of other businesses is found most often in a B2B site. They are focused on attracting businesses to hire them for a job or to promote the great work they have done with another company." (How to Market Your B2B/B2C Web Site) On the other hand, the success of a B2C site depends on getting browsers to direct customers to the site, building customer relationship loyalty by creating an easy-to-use customer service application, offering personalization and making the site quick and easy to navigate. Another vital aspect is to ensure that customer orders are promptly carried out."
