Module 4 – Case

STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION AND STRATEGIC CONTROLS

Assignment Overview

This final case involves an analysis of strategy implementation at Pepsico. You will use the resources you identified in the SLP to gather information about the company and relate that information to your work in the previous cases.

Required Reading

Refer to the required and optional readings related to strategy implementation and strategic controls, the themes for this module.

Case Assignment

In Module 4, we will conclude the case study process by researching Pepsico’s strategic controls and their fit with the company’s chosen strategy.

Keys to the Assignment

• Step One: Review your Case papers from Modules 1-3 so that you are familiar with the mission, vision, SWOT, strategy, and strategic choices you have identified over the course of the class.
• Step Two: Research the structure, systems, people, and culture at Pepsico. You will not be able to get answers to every single question, but you will need to answer at least one or two for each component.
• Step Three: Describe Pepsico’s organizational design, key strategic control systems (e.g., budgeting and variance analysis systems), primary human resources concerns, and cultural factors, and the effect that these have had on the implementation of Pepsico’s strategy.
• Step Four: In a 6- to 8-page paper, critically evaluate the fit—or the lack of fit—between the company’s mission, strategy, and organizational components crucial to implementation. Do these components complement the strategy? Why or why not?
• Step Five: Choose three of the 13 ethical “prescriptions” included in the following article: https://www.scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/business-ethics/resources/incorporating-ethics-into-the-organization/ . Next, discuss the extent which the company’s sense of business ethics has been embedded within its strategic management process, as evidenced by your chosen three indicators.
• Step Six: What changes would you—as the CEO—make to better assure the success of the company’s strategy? This is the most important section of the Module 4 Case.
• Step Seven: Consider the Case as a formal business report that you are developing for the Board of Directors and CEO as Pepsico’s consultant. This is a professional document. Follow the format below:
  • Executive summary: This is a synopsis of the main points, conclusions, and recommendations made in the longer report. If you would like a refresher on writing an executive summary, check this website: http://www.csun.edu/~vcecn006/summary.html
  • Introduction: State the main purpose of the paper (thesis statement), what you hope to accomplish, and how you will go about doing it.
  • Main Body: The “meat” of the paper. Emphasize analysis, not just description. Delineate separate topics or sections with headings.
  • Conclusion: Summarize your paper in the light of your thesis statement.

Assignment Expectations

Your paper will be evaluated using the grading rubric.

Tips and Suggestions

Note the following tips and suggestions:

• Business school case-study assignments are meant to offer practice opportunities for future business people who are earning their MBA degrees. Consider yourself a consultant hired by the company to make these critical assessments. There are no right or wrong answers to the Case question, as long as your position is well defended.
• Study the theoretical concepts provided in the Background materials section of the module, and identify main strategy concepts.
• Include a cover page and reference page, in addition to the 6-8 pages of analysis described above. You must meet minimum length requirements.
• Include section headings as appropriate.
• Cite and reference all sources, including those you paraphrase. This means include citations and quotation marks for direct quotes of more than five words, and citations for information you have “borrowed” or paraphrased from other sources.
• Follow Trident Guidelines for Well-Written Papers.
• Submit your analysis by the end of this module.

I’m studying and need help with a Linux question to help me learn.

Write a Python3 program called display.py to retrieve files from a web server via HTTP. Although this program could retrieve files of any type, we will use it solely to retrieve image files. and then display them after they have been downloaded.

Program requirements:

1. Your program must download image files from a web server via HTTP using the Python3 programming language and the socket module.
   1. Warning: Python has a built-in HTTP client module and URL request module.You *cannot* use these (or anything similar) for this lab, however, and zero points will be awarded if you do! The reason for not using this module is because it hides how the HTTP protocol works, and the purpose of this lab is to actually learn about the protocol operation. Instead, you must use the lower-level socket module.
2. The HTTP Request sent to the server must be printed out on the screen
3. The HTTP Response received from the server must be printed out on the screen (just the header, not the data)
4. The entire response from the server must be downloaded in increments of max_recv bytes per system call to recv(). (This is a variable defined in the boilerplate code, and is a reasonable value such as 64kB).
5. Downloaded files must be saved to local disk with the same file name as on the server.
6. Downloaded files must be displayed on screen by invoking the eog image viewer utility (see code at the end of the boilerplate file to do this)
7. Your program will take 2 command-line arguments: the web server port number, and the URL of the image to display,

I need help with a English question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

To write an effective argument essay, it is helpful to formulate a thesis addresses the question of what needs to happen and who is in a position to do something about it. Additionally, the essay should address what is at stake, or why the topic matters, and it should also address relevant counterarguments and acknowledge points of agreement. (For example, no matter how a person feels about gun control, they are likely to view school shootings as a bad thing.)

The draft of this essay should consist of an introduction, conclusion, and multiple well-formed body paragraphs with topic sentences. The essay should be a minimum of 1000 words in length and should include a properly formatted MLA Works Cited page.
