  1. Make a summary table of PepsiCo’s growth actions using the example below. Column 1 is rows of the names of the product lines/organizations that reflected growth or reduction actions (make a row for each one); 2 is the growth action type, column 3 lists the resources involved with the particular action and columns 4-6 is your explanation of whether the action in column 1 and resources in column 3 are consistent with the recommendations provided by the authors in Chapter 1 for Questions 1-3 (Figure 1-1). Bullet points are fine. Explain – a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ is not a complete answer. Adding “why” is needed.

Note that the answers for columns 4-6 require a comparison of the product lines/organizations resources in column 3 with those in place at PepsiCo.
