PEST ANALYSIS
The PEST analysis examines changes in a marketplace caused by the following factors. Political Pepsi is a non-alcoholic beverage and is therefore regulated by the FDA. So, theyre supposed to maintain a firm standard of the laws set out by the FDA with consistency. Also, many different markets across the world have different set of regulations that are either relaxed or are either stringent. There is competitive pricing by Pepsis competitors and that is one factor that Pepsi has to keep in mind at all times. The political scenario also matters greatly as there can be some civil unrest in certain markets or due to inflation the sales of the product can fall. Most importantly, cross border situations are starkly different therefore Pepsi has to stay in line with all those policies and changes so that they can adapt to all those changes accordingly. Economic As the recent economic downturn has plagued the economy, companies had to restructure their sales and marketing campaigns greatly. Also, with diminishing profits they had to undergo downsizing internally and re-think upon how to penetrate the market. Economic conditions have the highest influence on a business, regardless of what trade it is in. Political Changes Economic Changes Social Changes Technological Changes

67

Shamim & Co. (Pvt) Ltd. Multan Though, in Pepsis favor, the economic downturn that started in 2008 resulted in increased sales of its beverages mainly as people were being laid off from jobs, they were spending time with friends and family or at home.

Social Social factors greatly impact Pepsi, as its a non-alcoholic beverage it has to remain in line with the strict and stark differences of cultures the world over. Also, Pepsi has to communicate its image as a global brand so that the people can associate it with themselves as something that connects the world together. Usually, the social implications are seen in marketing campaigns for example certain countries have religious festivals, so Pepsi has to keep in line with all those festivals in order to understand the psyche of their market and how they can cash upon the opportunity. Technological With the advent of the new age in technology, companies have completely integrated themselves with all the recent changes that have taken place. To mention a recent trend that has greatly picked up and something that almost every business is turning toward is Social Media. The social media explosion has allowed for increasingly interactive engagement with the consumers with real time results so Pepsi has to stay ahead of all the developments that take place with keeping in view how the youth of today utilizes technology for their benefit and how can Pepsi reach them in order to keep on increasing brand recall and brand engagement.

Suggestions
On the basis of SWOT analysis of the Shamim & Co., I observed that Shamim & Co. Multan is working in a very well manner. But I think they are lagging in some areas. So they need to improvement in some areas. I have following suggestions to cope with their weakness and threats and take competitive advantage of their strengths and opportunities Taste As the climate of Pakistan particularly Multan is very hot. The people were like sweet soft drinks as that of Coca-Cola. So there is a need to have slightly sweet drinks. Promotional Schemes Most oof schemes introduce by the Pepsi cola are standardized for all the regions. But the organization should recognize the differences in different regions and then launch the schemes to get feedback. Rules & Regulation Implementation of rules should be making sure in the organization at any cost. Some policies need to be redefined. Islamic Activities There is the perception that Pepsi cola is the Jewish company and it facilitates Israel. The people who believes & dont like to drink. So it can be reduce by adding Islamic valued in the promotional campaigns. Motivation The employees should be motivated to be loyal with the organization. It can be in the form of incentives and free sampling. Online Linkage All the plants and distributors should be online to increase efficiency.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Supply to rural areas I find Pepsi everywhere in Pakistan but it is difficult for the bottlers to available the supply in small villages, where the local brand are covering the markets. In order to reach these markets the company should get small distributors from those areas by offering incentives to cover these potential markets of Pepsi. Pepsi is having good brand awareness and people are willing to be the distributors, therefore the company should reach the villages. This will help in increasing the market share and give a tough time to competitors. On the job training of sale force: Shamim & Company, of course, has a competitive sale force but lacking skilled and trained salespeople. Therefore the company should launch a comprehensive training program particularly the on the job training which is low cost and effective. A trained and skilled work force would be a competitive priority and when it becomes the culture of the organizations most precious assets is its employees. Permanent Hiring: The hiring in Shamim & Co. Multan is on permanent and on temporary basis. The skilled persons are usually hired on permanent basis and the unskilled workers are on the temporary basis. In off season the temporary workers are laid off, which is creating a negative impact of the organization in the minds of the employees. Therefore the hiring in the company should be on permanent basis. Fair Wage rate: The company should introduce a fair wage rate for the workers. The employees are not satisfied with the wage rate and there is no union in the organization. Therefore any

70

Shamim & Co. (Pvt) Ltd. Multan negotiation about wage rate is not take place. The higher level managers are getting the very good pays and the employees should also be given fair wages.

Control over the Distributor: The company should have a strong control over its distributors in order to manage the supply of the market. Sometimes the distributors are involved in cross distribution and sell the brands of other companies. When there is a strong control, and check over the distributors, cross distribution would be avoided. TOT (Tools of Trade) Should in Good Condition: Tools of trade should be in good conditions. As the name shown, these are the tools for the trade. These include mostly deep freezer and visi cooler. To maintain and to provide new one is the duty of Shamim & Co. TOTS should be checked by the sale officer or salesman periodically. Mostly shopkeeper or store keepers have the complaints of faulty TOTS. The complaints cell should immediately tell the technicians about the retailer to service the TOT. If the proper services are not provided to retailers in this case the store keeper are looking for the TOTS from some other company. Similarly new one has to be provided with in right time to the shopkeeper. Focus on the maximum productivity to ensure the availability of brands Focus on the decentralization that ensures the loyalty of the employees with the company. Giving more incentives & commission to sales forces that affects the sales Higher performance retailer should be obliged and given incentives in form of stock.
