An Outline on Pre-departure Training for Improving Expatriate Performance at PepsiCo
1.
Introduction
A.
Company’s Overview:
PepsiCo is a worldwide food and beverage corporation with operations in over 200 countries and territories. PepsiCo, which owns Tropicana, Gatorade, Pepsi, and Lay's, produced more than $79 billion in 2021 (
Jallow, 2021). International operations generate half of PepsiCo's net income. This demonstrates the significance of the company's global reach and operations. PepsiCo employs expatriates to help it expand globally and administer its many markets more efficiently. Skilled people are sent abroad on short-term contracts for these positions. According to Bader et al. (2021), expatriate managers and specialists are in charge of monitoring local operations, coordinating with headquarters, ensuring that information is easily transmitted, and maintaining cultural controls. As a result, they spread the PepsiCo spirit all over the world.
B.
Thesis Statement:
PepsiCo allows its employees to relocate all over the world in order to
help the firm grow and handle its various markets more efficiently. On the other hand, the
high failure rate among expats demonstrates how difficult it is to adjust to new surroundings. Before expats leave, PepsiCo should provide extensive Training in cultural awareness, language skills, helpful information, and family support. This will allow them to adjust to their new countries more quickly and smoothly, as well as assist the organization in finding the best people to work in various areas throughout the world.

PURPOSE:The concept of creating shared value (CSV) was articulated by Michael Porter and Mark Kramer. They describe it as “Creating economic value in a way that also creates value for society by addressing its needs and challenges. Businesses must reconnect company success with social progress. Shared value is not social responsibility, philanthropy, or even sustainability, but a new way to achieve economic success.”34 This approach to business is especially relevant in today’s business world as the connection between businesses and their customers becomes stronger through social media attention and easy access to information on the internet. Many customers not only care about the product or service value but also want to know how the company operates and what it stands for. From the company’s perspective, it is also very important to understand that not all profit is equal. Porter and Kramer state, “Profits involving a social purpose represent a higher form of capitalism—one that will…
