...Australian Beverages Limited A. A brief introduction of ABL Australian Beverages Limited (ABL) commenced soft drink manufacturing in 1937. During the 1970s and 1980s, the company expanded its beverage portfolio by entering into other non-alcoholic beverage categories, such as fruit and milk-based drinks. Entry into the snack food market was recently undertaken in response to declining consumption of carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), the company’s traditional area of business strength. This move also enabled ABL to leverage its strong distribution capabilities to supermarkets, convenience stores and hospitality channels by adding such complementary food products to non-alcoholic beverages. Nevertheless, CSDs still accounted for 90 per cent of company revenue in 2004. Tom Dwyer, the current managing director, has been with the company since 2005. He joined the company at a time when CSD growth was stagnating and shareholder confidence in the company was waning. In order to restore shareholder confidence, Dwyer established a strategic planning team within the company to assess the current product portfolio and identify organic and acquisition growth opportunities. Having finalized the integration of a snack food business acquisition just over 12 months ago, Dwyer is now aware that he needs to identify further growth options given predicted continuing decline in the CSD market. In January 2010 he asked the strategic planning team to undertake a detailed review of ...

...Case: Japan – Taxes on Alcoholic Beverages, 1998 Facts: Japan has imposed a higher tax on imported vodka than that of the local manufactured shochu, an alcoholic beverage. The US, Canada, and the EU view this as a violation of GATT Article III, paragraph 2, which states imported products should be taxed the same as similar domestic products. Japan and the US want this to be interpreted according to an “aim-and-effect” test. Japan also does not believe vodka is a similar product to shochu and the tax on the alcoholic beverages did not violate Art. III:2 because its the tax/price ratio was neutral. Procedure: World Trade Organization, Dispute Settlement Panel Issue: 1- Can the aim-and-effect test be applied to this situation? 2- Are vodka and shochu similar products? 3- Will a neutral tax/price ratio be sufficient enough to meet the Art. III:2 requirements? Holding: (1- No, 2- Yes, 3- No) Japan has to bring their taxes on alcoholic beverages into compliance with Art. III:2. Reasoning: (Lacarte-Muro, Bacchus, and El-Nagga) A. Rule: Art. III:2 has a requirement for all WTO members which states that all states should enforce the same internal taxes on products as they do on similar domestic products. Similar products have to follow the principles of paragraph 1. Art III:1, which states taxes cannot be enforced to protect a domestic production. Similar products are determined one case-by-case basis with familiar end-users and the same physical characteristics. ...

...Porter’s five-forces model reveals that the overall alternative beverage industry attractiveness is high. Some beverage companies, such as PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, have mastered the art of brand building in the alternative beverage market and have been rewarded with rapid growth rates. The rising population of health conscious consumers is increasingly leaning towards alternative beverages that are believed to offer greater health benefits. The strongest competitive force, or most important to strategy formulation, is the threat of entry of new competitors. Competitive pressure from rival sellers is high in the alternative beverage industry. The number of brands competing in sports drinks, energy drinks, and vitamin-enhanced beverage segments of the alternative beverage industry continue to grow each year. Both large and small vendors are launching new products and fighting for minimal retail shelf space. More and more consumers are moving away from traditional soft drinks to healthier alternative drinks. Demand is expected to grow worldwide as consumer purchasing power increases. Another strong competitive force is buyer bargaining power. Convenience stores and grocery stores have substantial leverage in negotiating pricing and slotting fees with alternative beverage producers due to the large quantity of their purchase. Newer brands are very vulnerable to buyer power because of limited space on store shelves. Top brands like Red Bull are almost always guaranteed space...
