    Threats from the external environment are difficult to define because of the broad diversification of A-B into not only alcoholic beverages, but also food products, entertainment, real estate and sports management. However when considering just alcoholic beverages, the threats from new entrants are not very high because of the gradual consolidation of the industry. The top 15 brewing companies generally have a greater degree of economies of scale and vertical integration than any firm trying to enter the industry. Threats from substitutes are high because of the introduction of new products and product lines that lead to price wars between the large firms. Supplier power is moderate because of the dependency of brewing companies on harvests and product costs while they simultaneously order in large quantities from a fair number of suppliers. Individual consumer buyer power is miniscule, but buyer power of distributors is relatively high. These distributors determine how, when, and at what price the product reaches the end consumer. The threat of rivalry from existing competition is through the roof. The consolidation of the industry has left a few remaining brewing giants that battle for cost leadership and low price advantage.…

    Up until 2002 there was not really any monitoring of the alcohol industry self-regulation. “In that year the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University (CAMY) was created to monitor alcohol company marketing practices in the United States in order to provide an independent review of the industry’s practices and to offer a factual basis to debates over youth exposure to alcohol advertising occurring in that country”. Billions and billions of dollars are spent yearly on advertising in the form of “measured” media. “CAMY has concentrated on these so called forms of “measured” media, although the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has projected that two to three times the yearly amount is spent on unmeasured advertisings such as sponsorships, giveaways, point-of-purchase promotions, and clothing with alcohol brand logos and special events” .…

    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…

    Human beings have been making alcoholic beverages for as long as they have had sedentary agriculture, and the right to drink this beverage has been in question for just as long. For many, the right to drink beer or vodka is a right of passage into adulthood, and for others it is a sign of strong friendship in ceremonies. The history of drinking in the U.S.A. is lengthy and complimated, but it starts with the American Revolution. Freedom is a good beer after a long day, and many men, women, and children drank beer in the 1700s because it was safer than the potentially infected water than ran through the city. This trend continued until 1920, when the 18th amendment was passed in Congress. This amendment mandated that there shall be no more consumption, manufacturing, or distribution of alcoholic beverages in the United States; however, many Americans disregarded this law and illegally made “moonshine” drinks to sell and drink.…

    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.…
