Another good example is the development of research and development facilities in local universities that several businesses in an area can benefit from.

...Impact of Vertical Integration Table of Contents What is Vertical Integration?3 De Beers Summary3 Internal strengths of vertical integration5 External strengths of vertical integration6 Disadvantages of vertical integration7 Quad/Graphics and vertical integration7 Four types of Vertical Integration 7 Ownership and Breadth of De Beers 9 Conclusion 10 References11 What is Vertical Integration? Vertical integration is a powerful corporate strategy that when implemented under the right circumstances can work towards the organizations advantage. Vertical integration describes a firm's control over several or all of the production and or distribution steps involved in the creation of its product or service. This integration takes the assets that was owned by two organizations and combines it into a single business; this creates either a joint ownership, or the sale of one firm’s assets to another business. This strategy is more advantageous then contracting with an outside company since usually it creates lower operating costs and more control over quality of its products or services. Forward and backward integration in an organizations’ value chain is an attempt to strengthen a company’s business model. Although there are different forms of vertical integration, its main approach is either to expand operations backward into an industry that produces inputs for the company, or forward into an industry that distributes the company’s products. According to Harrigan...

...Corona Beer: Challenges of International Expansion Corona Extra has been the world’s fourth best selling beer in terms of volume in 2005 due to its strategy in differentiation. Corona marketing campaign of “fun in the sun” and its light and citrus flavor helps products to expand its target customers far beyond its competitors. However due to merger and acquisition that occur in the industry, Corona needs to adjust itself in order to sustain its growth and improve its competitive position. Environmental Analysis PEST Analysis Political Factor: * Government regulation prohibits to import alcohol product in some country. * Tax policies on alcohol beverages may result in higher price of alcohol product in some countries. Economic Factor * Trading agreement such as NAFTA, can help firm to benefit from exports its products into the emerging market, however this might also open up the opportunities for new competitors to come into Mexico‘s beer market as well. * Instability of Mexico economic condition can affect the cost of goods sold of the products that export out of the foreign markets. Social Factor * Some countries or areas might prohibit to sell alcohol beverages. * Differentiation between global preferences. For example, beer might be popular in US and Germany, however in Italy and France, wine is more popular. Technological Factor * Technology can improve product quality and can reduce scrap or it can also improve distribution system with...

...Analysis: Corona Beer (Modelo) By LaTeia D. Shed Professor Carroll August 5, 2011 LaTeia D. Shed Strategic Management Professor Carroll 8/5/2011 Case Analysis: Corona Beer (Modelo) 1.Identify and discuss the trends in the global beer markets. In the 1930’s, prohibition policies were established that affected the sale of beer as well as alcohol. In 1991, Corona saw a slowdown in growth caused by doubling of federal excise tax on beer. Corona’s distributors responded to the downward trend by changing its pricing strategy so that they would absorb the tax rather than pass it on to consumers. Corona was able to expand internationally when the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed. The establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement eliminated the barriers to trade and reduced tariffs and resulted in an upward trend in beer consumption. From 2007 to 2009, the beer industry saw a decline in the global sale of beer due to the slowdown in the economy. Beer consumption in developed markets continues to suffer from high unemployment, high fuel prices and constrained consumer spending. In the USA, where unemployment is particularly severe among key beer drinkers, beer volumes have fallen slightly although accompanied by consumer uptrading between industry price segments. Beer volumes continue to decrease in Western Europe as consumers switch to other beverages and reduce on-premise consumption (SABMiller). In 2010, the beer industry in the...

...differentiation strategy. For the cost leadership strategy the price wars have made this relatively basic for brewers on a mass scale. If you want to sell a lot of beer then you have to sell your beer at the minimum price. So it’s almost not a strategy anymore. As for differentiation brewers always try to find and develop new products so they can hopefully steal customers from other brewers and bring them to their side. Examples of this are Rickard’s white, Molson M and Bud Light Lime. Molson’s strategies are broad (broad differentiator) and not focused because they offer many different types of beer for pretty much all niches including microbreweries. As for Miles and Snow’s generic business-level strategies Molson is much more of an analyzer than the other three options. They’re analyzer because even though they defend their own market shares they always try to steal other’s by analyzing what others do and competing against them. Corporate Level strategy On a corporate level Molson uses single-business concentration. They focus on what they do best and that is to brew beer, unlike other brewers like Anheuser-Busch who also own amusement parks. Molson has been selling beer for almost 250 years and are still very successful at it. They diversify their beer products to correspond to many niches but stay in the same type of business. The beer industry provides important and constant profits and a stable and ever increasing demand so it continues in the same direction towards the future. International...

This unique strain of yeast is specially cultured in Holland and it works slowly in the golden liquid at low temperatures instead of fizzling away...

...FOAKES V. BEER CASE BRIEF STYLE OF CAUSE Foakes v. Beer (1884), 9 App. Cas. 605. PROCEDURAL HISTORY Appeal This appeal is about the interest owed to Mrs. Beer (Beer) from Mr. Foakes (Foakes). In the original case, Foakes was required to pay Beer the money that he owed her. To do this, they came to an agreement that Foakes could make instalments so he would not bankrupt himself. After the final payment was received, Beer sued Foakes for the interest owed on the original sum. The new case was decided in favour of Foakes, but was appealed by Beer in the Court of Appeals. FACTS Mrs. Beer (Beer) had sued Dr. Foakes (Foakes) for £2,090 and recovered judgement. Foakes and Beer entered into a written agreement where Foakes was to pay £500 immediately and the balance over a course of 5 years until the debt was cleared. Foakes asked to pay the rest in bi-yearly payments because of financial difficulty. Beer made a promise of taking no future action if Foakes paid the rest of the money on a timely basis. After Foakes had paid the full amount, Beer took action against Foakes for interest on the funds. Interest had not been mentioned in the agreement they had signed. In the agreement, it talked about the payments but not the interest that she was expecting since Beer was under the impression that interest did not have to be mentioned. It was not written anywhere that she did not want the interest. The agreement was not under seal. After...

...Future Scenarios for the next ten years4 Strategic Options facing each Scenario5 Industry overview For thousands of years, beer has been sold in similar form and taste all over the world. However, it has remained a highly local product due to barriers such as local tastes, short shelf life, high transportation costs, taxes on imported alcoholic products and difficult-to-penetrate local distribution networks. In 1999, the top-four brewers were only accountable for 17% of global beer sales. Beer was, at that time, seen as one of the least consolidated, and least profitable, industries in FMCG. But nowadays, because of greater scale, the effects of reduced competition and the growing profitability of emerging markets, the top-four brewers control over 55% of global sales. In spite of this positive change, beer is still a local business, with local operations and brands. This consolidation can bring large benefits, such as operational leverage, efficiency in advertising expenses, increased reputation and distribution networks’ power. Although slowly, brand concentration is starting to occur both in developed and developing countries. The future prospects for beer brands tend towards industry and local brand consolidation, indicating the need to develop global beers brands. Competitive Advantage And Its Sustainability Heineken and Carlsberg benefit from competitive advantage through both cost and differentiation. Throughout the years, both companies have had the possibility...

...firms must assess alternative markets, evaluate the prospective costs, benefits and risk of entering each and select those that hold the most potential for entry of expansion. • Levels of Competition – firm must consider the current and future level of competition in foreign markets. Assessing their competitive environment should identify the number and size of firms already competing in the potential market. • Legal and Political Environment – it is important for a firm like Heineken to understand the host country’s policies and laws especially dealing with alcohol. There was an example with Egypt where Muslims are forbidden to drink alcohol and it is obvious that Heineken did their research because there was an option in producing non-alcoholic beer. • Sociocultural Differences – Sociocultural differences should also be considered when assessing foreign market. In many cases firms will attempt to minimize the potential impact of sociocultural differences by initially focusing on countries that are culturally similar to their home markets and that is what Heineken did. It imported beer to Spain, Italy, England and Germany. • Evaluating Costs, Benefits and Risks – there was an example where Heineken could buy breweries in the United States and produce it there which would lead to reduction in production cost but they didn’t want to make same mistake as Miller and lose their main advantage as an imported beer. Also a firm entering a new market incurs the risks of opportunity...
