CEO Nooyi to diversify PepsiCo
PepsiCo Inc's new chief executive, Indra Nooyi, said on Tuesday that the snack food and beverage company's diverse portfolio would enable it to extend its growth and that she did not see a need for any drastic shift in strategy.
Nooyi spoke to analysts and investors in her first public address about the company's strategy since she took over as CEO on October 1, replacing Steve Reinemund and becoming one of the most prominent female CEO's in corporate America.
She told the audience not to expect drastic changes in strategy as she had been closely involved in formulating the plans over the past five years. PepsiCo includes the Frito-Lay snacks business and Pepsi beverages, the second biggest US soft drink maker after the Coca-Cola Co.
"I realize when most companies change CEOs, there can be a fair amount of change and direction in strategy. That's not going to be the case today," Nooyi said.
"I don't see any need presently to change a strategy that's been working, especially after only 23 days on the job."
She said over time the company would adjust as circumstances demanded it. The strength of PepsiCo's portfolio, she said, is built on developing more products for increasingly health-conscious consumers, and introducing more non-cola beverages.
The company has diversified beyond its flagship cola products, which have been declining slightly, toward non-carbonated beverages such as Gatorade, Lipton ready-to-drink teas, Aquafina bottled water and its recently acquired Izze sparkling juice drinks.

Apple laptops switch on Core 2 Duo chips
Apple has unveiled a new line of its MacBook Pro laptops that feature Intel's Core 2 Duo processors.
The notebook models are the first to use Intel processors that are based on Intel's power-efficient Core Microarchitecture. Apple claims that the new chips on average will function up to 39 per cent faster than the Core Duo chips in the previous MacBook Pro models.
The three new MacBook Pro models feature 2.16GHz and 2.33GHz processor speeds. The 2.16GHz model will be available with a 15-inch screen and the 2.33GHz model will offer either a 15- or 17-inch screen.
The new models will also offer larger 120Gb or 160Gb hard drives and Firewire 800 connectivity.
“With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, greater storage capacity and FireWire 800 connectivity, the new MacBook Pro delivers unprecedented performance and mobility in an incredibly thin and light design,” said Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Philip Schiller.
Originally launched by Intel in July, the Core 2 Duo chip bundles two processor cores on a single chip together with the new Core Microarchitecture.
The 15-inch models are selling for $1,999 (2.16GHz model) and $2.499 (2.33GHz model). The 17-inch model is slated for availabilty next week for $2,799.

firefox new version........
Firefox 2.0 is free, but it's a woefully minor improvement over Firefox 1.5 that suffers from various incompatibility problems, especially with themes and other add-ons. I wouldn't recommend this new version, to be honest. I'll be sticking with Firefox 1.5 at least for now. I recommend you do the same, or switch to the surprisingly solid IE 7.0.
To his credit, Paul has been a long-time advocate for Firefox, so I was a bit surprised by his take on the new version. The fact is, Firefox 2 is a huge improvement over the previous version. Here are just a few of the highlights:
Spell checking. A built-in spell checker lets users check the spelling of text entered into web forms (like the one I'm using to write this). This feature alone is a lifesaver.
Phishing protection. Paul says IE's is better, and I haven't put them to the test so I can't say. But the presence of this protection at all is surely a boon to Firefox users, and it will only get better with time.
Stability. Just today I had IE7 wedge up my entire Windows system. At least when Firefox crashes (and it still does sometimes) it has the courtesy to not take everything else down with it. Plus it remembers any tabs you had open and offers to reopen them for you.
Security. We could debate whether FF or IE is "inherently" more secure, as in which browser has fewer security holes that are waiting to be exploited. But there can be no argument about which browser has had the most exploits logged against it. Just recently there was another bad one involving ActiveX. I had to hide IE on my son's computer because he'll click on anything. Now all he can use is Firefox.
Updates. Firefox is undergoing rapid development. How often will we see IE improvements?
Extensibility. Firefox add-ons are immensely powerful, small, and easy to develop. If you know HTML and a little JavaScript you're more than half the way there. IE has extensions, but you have to write them in C/C++ which is (take my word as a 20-year C developer) much harder.
Portability and standards. Maybe you don't use a Mac or Linux desktop yourself, but an increasing percentage of your users do, especially in emerging markets. By developing your pages and applications using vendor-neutral standards (which Firefox has embraced) you can hedge your bets.
Open source. Firefox is available as open source so anyone motivated enough and skilled enough can go in there and make changes. If IE had been open source, how long do you think it would have had all those annoying CSS problems that bugged web developers for years?
The Internet Explorer team is (finally) making improvements to the Microsoft browser, and indeed IE7 has some nice benefits of its own. But in this round of the Browser Wars, Firefox 2 and the open source community come out on top. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the next version!
