    The two companies that will be the focus of this paper are Anheuser-Busch Companies and Coors Brewing Company (Coors). As of 2009, these two companies held 50.4 percent and 10.8 percent of the U.S. beer market, respectively[1]. The compound annual growth rate of the market value of the U.S. beer industry between 2005 and 2009 was 0.4 percent, reaching $77.6 billion in 2009, while the market volume grew at an even lower 0.2 percent reaching a volume of 24 billion liters.[2] Until 2002, the three major players within the industry, Anheuser-Busch, Coors and Miller Brewing Company, were domestically owned and together earned 75 percent of the industry revenues. This paper focuses on the U.S. beer industry and competitive strategies of two focal companies Anheuser-Busch and Coors, prior to 2009, before global giant InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch. Despite the dominant position of Anheuser-Busch, the different strategies pursued by these two organizations will draw different reactions from each firm, should a significant event impact them.

    The beer industry is a $91.6 billion market in the United States, it accounts for 52% of total alcohol beverage sales and 85% of the consumption. The industry has seen an extended period of relatively flat consumption, with the only steady growth occurring in the niche brands produced by microbreweries and imports. This flat consumption can be explained by a few factors, the industry itself has reached maturity due to the maturity of the products within it, and over 80% of the market is comprised of AB, SABMiller and Coors which have dominated the market for years. This highly developed consolidation is also the result of intense government regulations and a relatively high tax rate. Alcohol awareness campaigns and an aging population also play a role. However, there is some hope, in the last two years, total barrels sold has increased 2.1%, the biggest jump since 1990. Anheuser Busch enjoys a 48.4% market share; Miller has 29% and Coors 10%. SABMiller and MolsonCoors are currently attempting a joint venture that will combine the Miller and Coors operations. This merger will create a stronger competitor for AB as they improve efficiency, distribution and effectively "gang-up" on AB.…

    The Mongolian Grill

    John Butkus was considering changing the preliminary design of the Waterloo restaurant location to increase its capacity and serve customers more quickly. Mr. Butkus wants a design that will optimize the restaurants profit without compromising the customers dining experience. There are several design options available to consider: adding a second food preparation area, moving the cooking grill, both options and neither option. In order to find the best design option, I have used the detailed data collected from the London restaurant location by Mr. Butkus, as an estimation to evaluate different design options. For example, how long it took customers to go through the food preparation area, the average number of trips customer took, and the duration of the average meal time. Based on this data and current information in Waterloo restaurant location, a SWOT and financial analysis have revealed the strengths and weakness of each design. It is recommended that a combination design of adding a second food preparation area and moving the cooking grill should be used in the design change.…

Furthermore, we should be able to penetrate emerging and developing markets, that also relies on economic and political conditions, and also their ability to form effectively strategic business alliances with local…

    The world’s leading distributor, manufacturer and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage is indeed Coca-Cola. Although majority of time Coca-Cola has held the larger market share in this region, at times Pepsi has led by providing very aggressive and wittier advertising strategies (D’Altorio, 2010).

    Miller Brewing Company and Anheuser-Busch, the two largest U.S. brewers, are the leading producers of this new alcoholic beverage category, with brands that include Sparks, Tilt, and Bud Extra. Their marketing tactics mirror those used for nonalcoholic energy drinks: “grassroots” consumer strategies; images and messages that promote their association with partying and other high energy activities; and containers that have sizes, shapes, and graphics similar to their nonalcoholic cousins. The similarities in containers create the potential for confusion among consumers, retailers, parents, law enforcement officers, and others regarding which products contain alcohol and which do not. Alcoholic energy drinks are also a cheap alternative to purchasing alcoholic…
