Book excerpt: A definitive study that uses a blend of theory, history, and data to analyze the evolution of the US brewing industry; draws on theoretical tools of industrial organization, game theory, and management strategy. This definitive study uses theory, history, and data to analyze the evolution of the US brewing industry from a fragmented market to an emerging oligopoly. Drawing on a rich and extensive data set and applying the theoretical tools of industrial organization, game theory, and management strategy, the authors provide new quantitative and qualitative perspectives on an industry they characterize as "a veritable market laboratory." The US brewing industry illustrates many of the important topics in industrial organization, economic policy, and business strategy, including industry concentration, technological change, brand proliferation, and mixed pricing strategies. After giving an overview of the industry, Tremblay and Tremblay discuss basic demand and cost conditions and industry concentration. They describe the evolution of the leading mass-producing brewers and the emergence of both specialty brewers and imports. They analyze the history and the causes of product and brand proliferation (showing how product proliferation leads to firm dominance), discuss price, advertising, merger, and other management strategies, and examine the industry's economic performance. Finally, they discuss public policy, including anti-trust and public health issues. The authors' set of industry, firm, and brand data for the period 1950-2002 -- the most comprehensive data set of economic variables available for an oligopolistic industry -- will be available to purchasers of the book who send an e-mail request. Data sources are listed in an appendix. Robert S. Weinberg, a management strategy scholar and leading consultant to the brewing industry, contributes a foreword. This ambitious, authoritative work, capping the authors' 25-year study of the brewing industry, will be a valuable resource for industry analysts, economists, and students of industrial organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich BWL - Industriebetriebslehre, Note: 1,7, University of West Florida, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In the brewing industry exist two profitable segments: The big, global breweries and the small, specialist brewing companies. Companies, who do not differentiate from its competitors or do not have the critical mass, find themselves in a “stuck in the middle”-position. They need to adapt their strategy to find an alliance, or look for differentiation. The advantages of the global brewing companies are: They have bigger cash reserves on hand to survive in competition, posses a better market access and distribution network, profit from economies of scale, have strong market positions, as well as well-known and strong brand names. The small breweries sell beer in their niche with special taste, image or regional background. The beer consumption in the mature market of Western Europe and North America stagnates. New markets emerged in Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America. The industry becomes more global. The big breweries expand in these emerging markets by acquiring regional companies. The concentration process of the past years is expected to continue. In the traditional beer markets, job opportunities are not good. Breweries replace employees only in the range of normal fluctuation. In contrast to the emerging markets, where the need of specialist is high and the job opportunities are very good. The brewing industry has also to be aware of changing consumer attitudes toward healthier lifestyle, and the growing popularity of wine and beer-mixed drinks. Therefore new products have to be placed. Research and development is believed to be a key element in the future of the industry. Good job opportunities are given in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1,3, University of Lincoln (School of Business and Law), course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: Compared with the rest of the world the UK beer consumption was on rank 5 in 2001 what shows its significance. Within the overall market value of 15,473.8 million pounds (2004), premium lager was the leading segment with a value share of 39.2 %. All in all 5,454.7 million litres of beer have been sold in 2004. Below you will find a Porter`s five forces analysis of the UK beer industry which deduces the attractiveness of the industry from its structure. The structure itself influences the corporate strategy which is responsible for corporate success finally. Attractiveness in Porter`s view depends on five forces which influence an industry. Porter says that “the collective strength of these forces determines the ultimate profit potential of an industry.” (Porter 1980, p. 21) In order to detect the importance of a single force Porter provides some indicators which will be highlighted. I have chosen this external analysis tool because it covers a wide range of important influences affecting the UK beer industry. To anticipate the later shown results it will become ob-vious that some of the forces provided by Porter have a massive effect on the industry especially intensity of rivalry and bargaining power of buyers. Companies acting in the industry have to have good knowledge of the industry structure and its threats to defend or favourably influence it to stay competitive and earn profits. The stronger the forces are the more the industry becomes unattractive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔThis book describes a number of different empirical studies and evaluations of the international brewery industry. This industry has recently undergone two climactic changes within a ten to fifteen year time period. These are a significant industry-wide consolidation of firms and market shares accompanied by the internationalization of what was previously a largely local industry. Understanding the drivers and implications of such abrupt and massive change in the competitive environment of an industry is of great interest to international and strategic management scholars. Most of the bookÕs chapters address this issue, some at the global industry level, some at a regional level, and some at the level of a specific country. Taken together, they comprise an insightful case study of an interesting industry at its most interesting point in time.Õ Ð William G. Egelhoff, Fordham University, US ÔThe individual contributions in this volume paint a varied and rich picture of strategies and rivalries, the role of environments and institutions, leadership and also customer approaches in both global and local brewery industry. Some of the analysed phenomena are more standard to an IB audience, like consolidation, technological development, and shifts in global markets, but they get a specific flavor and color through this industry focus, while other topics definitely seem more specific (like ÒBierstrasseÓ on Mallorca). For readers with good taste.Õ Ð Rian Drogendijk, Uppsala University, Sweden This unique book explores some of the key topics of international business through the context of a global industry, focusing on the challenges brewery companies face as they operate in globalized markets. It examines the strategies of individual firms to develop markets and explores new insights into recent company rivalries, both globally and locally. In addition, it offers detailed analysis of some of the major players in the industry through longitudinal studies. Drawing on a range of perspectives, the contributing authors explore six overarching themes: international market developments and firm performance; host country institutional effects; multi-point competition and rivalries; cross-border M&A integration and subsidiary development; leadership and internationalization; and boundless customer interfaces through such elements as social media and tourism. The Global Brewery Industry will prove insightful for scholars across international business, as well as providing an appealing case study for advanced students. It will be invaluable to those investigating the brewery sector specifically, or working with brewing firms.

Download or read book The Economics of Beer written by Johan F. M. Swinnen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beer has been consumed across the globe for centuries and was the drink of choice in many ancient societies. Today it is the most important alcoholic drink worldwide, in terms of volume and value. The largest brewing companies have developed into global multinationals, and the beer market has enjoyed strong growth in emerging economies, but there has been a substantial decline of beer consumption in traditional markets and a shift to new products. There is close interaction between governments and markets in the beer industry. For centuries, taxes on beer or its raw materials have been a major source of tax revenue and governments have regulated the beer industry for reasons related to quality, health, and competition. This book is the first economic analysis of the beer market and brewing industry. The introduction provides an economic history of beer, from monasteries in the early Middle Ages to the recent 'microbrewery movement', whilst other chapters consider whether people drink more beer during recessions, the effect of television on local breweries, and what makes a country a 'beer drinking' nation. It comprises a comprehensive and unique set of economic research and analysis on the economics of beer and brewing and covers economic history and development, supply and demand, trade and investment, geography and scale economies, technology and innovation, health and nutrition, quantity and quality, industrial organization and competition, taxation and regulation, and regional beer market developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the birth and evolution of craft breweries around the world. Microbrewery, brewpub, artisanal brewery, henceforth craft brewery, are terms referred to a new kind of production in the brewing industry contraposed to the mass production of beer, which has started and diffused in almost all industrialized countries in the last decades. This project provides an explanation of the entrepreneurial dynamics behind these new firms from an economic perspective. The product standardization of large producers, the emergence of a new more sophisticated demand and set of consumers, the effect of contagion, and technology aspects are analyzed as the main determinants behind this ‘revolution’. The worldwide perspective makes the project distinctive, presenting cases from many relevant countries, including the USA, Australia, Japan, China, UK, Belgium, Italy and many other EU countries.

For diversified companies the report focuses on the beer brewing activities of those respective firms. 2 The Industry's Current Position3 As already predicted by Stewart Gilliland4 of Whitbread PLC as well as many other industry experts, during the last two years crucial developments have taken place. First, in terms of industry concentration and global expansion of dominant players. Second in terms of consumer taste and behaviour which again had an impact on company's strategies and product portfolios. 2.1 The Markets The industry's main markets are Western Europe, Eastern Europe, America including North- and South America, Africa and Asia including China and India. In each of those regions the industry is in a completely different stage of the industry lifecycle.5 Moreover population and per capita consumption indicate growth opportunities and hence potential attractiveness of the respective markets.6 (See: Appendix A and B) [...] 2 "If industries are defined by competitive relationships among firms (...)"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 2,0, University of West Florida, language: English, abstract: Anheuser-Busch is in financially stable situation. The company operates its business very efficient. Cash flow and earnings are high. But Anheuser-Busch has to be aware of its future. Margins in the traditional markets begin to shrink. Investors do not see much potential in the brewing giant. Anheuser-Busch needs to prepare itself for future growth. The company has to undertake an important strategy change, as it has to strengthen its activities in the growing markets abroad. Otherwise, today's stable situation is going to be at risk. Anheuser-Busch operates its business with a small equity base. But for future acquisitions in foreign countries, it is likely that investors want to see a higher equity. At the moment, the risk buffer of the brewery is too small. The management recognized the problem and started to repurchase stocks. Therewith Anheuser-Busch tried to strengthen its equity base in the past years. This procedure must continue if the company wants to be ready for entering new growth markets. The good income and cash flow situation of Anheuser-Busch should make it possible that this plan is going to work out. In the end, the brewery should be able to improve its debt situation. After the financing improvement and new acquisitions in foreign markets, investors attitude should be positive and Anheuser-Busch even more competitive. The ratio analysis of Anheuser-Busch proofs that the company is able to operate its business with a small use of working capital. Moreover the brewery understands to use its assets efficiently. Remarkable are Anheuser-Busch's abilities to operate its business with low equity, to keep the cost down and thereby holding a good price level. With the mentioned policy changes the company should experience an extremely positive effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Industrial Management, grade: 90.00, Cologne Business School Köln, course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: Beer has been an integral part of German culture for centuries, but the craft beer industry, a more recent market segment, has been evolving since the 1980s. This paper delves into the context of the craft beer industry in Germany, exploring the dimensions of industry development, the inhibitors affecting this development, and the intriguing paradox between compliance and choice. To comprehend the craft beer segment's position within the German beer market, it's essential to analyze industry development. Porter's five forces (competitors, buyers, suppliers, new entrants, substitutes) identify key players within the industry that require deeper examination. Industry development results from shifts in the underlying factors within the sector. This analysis offers insights into the future of the craft beer market. Industry development encompasses several categories, each with unique characteristics that signal potential shifts in the industry landscape. These dimensions will be further explored. In converging industries, companies become more alike, while divergence occurs when businesses introduce new models and differentiate themselves. The beer industry leans toward divergence, especially within the craft beer subsector. Craft beer is a product of this divergence, with brewers striving to offer unique experiences and flavors. Craft breweries focus on individuality and distinctive taste profiles, challenging the former homogeneity of beer. Craft beer can be divided into subcategories, such as microbreweries, brewpubs, contract brewing companies, and regional craft breweries. These segments showcase the industry's capacity for innovative business models, ensuring each craft brewer's uniqueness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality management for small, regional, and national breweries is critical for the success of craft brewing businesses. Written for staff who manage quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) in breweries of all sizes, this book clearly sets out how quality management is integrated into every level of operation. Author Mary Pellettieri shows how quality management is a concept that encompasses not only the “free from defect” ethos but combines the wants of the consumer and the art of brewing good beer. Breweries must foster a culture of quality, where governance and management seamlessly merge policy, strategy, specifications, goals, and implementation to execute a QA/QC program. What tests are necessary, knowing that food safety alone does not signify a quality product, adhering to good management practice (GMP), proper care and maintenance of assets, standard operating procedures, training and investment in staff, and more must be considered together if a quality culture is to translate into success. The people working at a brewery are the heart of any quality program. Management must communicate clearly the need for quality management, delineate roles and responsibilities, and properly train and assess staff members. Specialist resources such as a brewery laboratory are necessary if an owner wants to be serious about developing standard methods of analysis to maintain true-to-brand specifications and ensure problems are identified before product quality suffers. Staff must know the importance of taking corrective action and have the confidence to make the decision and implement it in a timely fashion. With so many processes and moving parts, a structured problem-solving program is a key part of any brewery's quality program. How should you structure your brewing lab so it can grow with your business? What chemical and microbiological tests are appropriate and effective? How are new brands incorporated into production? How do you build a sensory panel that stays alert to potential drifts in brand quality? Which FDA and TTB regulations affect your brewery in terms of traceability and GMP? Can you conduct and pass an audit of your processes and products? Mary Pellettieri provides answers to these key organizational, logistical, and regulatory considerations.
