The key acquisition for Pepsi was Gatorade which has sales of over $2 billion per year and holds an 80% market share in the sports-drink market.For the first time in decades, U.S. consumption declined last year in the carbonated soft drink industry. At the same time, sales of nonbubbly beverages are growing by nearly 10% per year and bottled water sales are increasing at 30%.In the international marketplace, Coke dominates in the cola wars and has diversified into a variety of alternative drinks. For example, in Japan, the alternative drinks outsell colas and Coke’s ready-to-drink coffee is the market leader and even outsells Coke itself.Reading Schedule:Week of Chapters Articles Tests/Assignments 1/10 1 1/17 2-3 1 1/24 4 2 1/31 5 Test #1 – Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 2/7 6 3 2/14 7 4 Assignment #1 2/21 8 5 2/28 9 Test #2 – Chapters 5,6,7,8 3/7 NO CLASS– Spring Break!! 3/14 10 6 3/21 11 7 Assignment #2 3/28 12 8 4/4 13 Test #3 – Chapters9, 10, 11, 12, 13 4/11 14 9 4/18 15-16 Assignment #3 4/25 17 10 5/2 18-19 Test #4–Chapters 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 194 of 5Student Success Services:Tutors and additional free services for academic success can be accessed by calling (517) 796-8415 or by stopping by the Center for Student Success, Bert Walker Hall Room 123.
