...MillerCoors vs. Anheuser-Busch Salman Boer Carly Gorka Stephanie Kalin Kenny Koelling Felipe Naranjo Nizam Qutubuddin Executive Summary The beer industry in the United States is an extremely competitive one. For years, the industry has been solely dominated by one contender, Anheuser Busch. However, large brewers have always been looking for opportunities to extend their reach in the industry and gain more market share. Miller Brewing Company and Coors Brewing Company have been historical staples of the American beer industry since the nineteenth century. These companies merged with international giants South African Breweries and Molson, respectively, in efforts to better compete in the United States brewing industry. However, they still could not manage to take a share of the Anheuser Busch Empire. SABMiller and Molson Coors saw an opportunity in forming a joint venture that would be able to successfully compete with Anheuser Busch in the beer industry, and in 2008, created a third company called MillerCoors. The creation of MillerCoors was a success. Since the creation of the company, in June 2008, MillerCoors has been very profitable and has enjoyed steady growth in their market share. They have done this by integrating innovation as a major goal in their products, providing them with a certain level of differentiation, while reducing costs through the exploitation of synergies that exist in their different processes. MillerCoors was one of the very...

...Management 303 SWOT Analysis of Anheuser Busch Section 1 Organizational history In 1843 Eberhard Anheuser immigrated to the United States from Germany, after settling in St. Louis he became part owner of Bavarian Brewery in 1852. In 1860 Anheuser bought out other investors and changed the name of the brewery to E. Anheuser & Co. In 1861 Adolphus Busch married Eberhard’s daughter Lilly. In 1869, Adolphus bought in and gained half-ownership in the brewery. In 1879 the name of the brewery became Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association. In 1880, Adolphus Busch became president of the brewery following the death of his father in law. In 2008 Anheuser-Busch merged with INBEV to become Anheuser-Busch INBEV. After this merger, this company has become the world’s largest brewer and one of the top five consumer goods companies (ABWEBSITE). Section II: Strengths and Weaknesses Strength 1: Advertisement One key to the success of AB-InBev over the years is their creative use of advertising. Year after year this company continues to be one of the top purchasers of commercial airtime during the Super bowl. Spending an average of 30 million dollars per Super bowl (STLTODAY). The use of slogans and themes for advertising campaigns over the years has helped to build a loyal following and universal brand recognition. Another strategic move was made by AB in 1955.

... Budweiser Executive Summary The current business environment for a piece of the beer industry market is very competitive. Breweries must compete against other breweries, both large and small to remain a viable player in the sale of their beer. Budweiser is a product produced by Anheuser-Busch, an American brewery founded in St. Louis in the mid 1800’s. The intention of the following marketing plan is to not only continue to add to the legacy of Budweiser, but to re-energize the consumer’s appetite for Budweiser and increase the market share of the product. The formula for Budweiser is over 130 years old. The recipe has a unique blend of barley malt, brewer’s rice, yeast, water, and hops. These same five ingredients are what still goes into Budweiser today. We will promote how after 130 years the tried and true tradition of these five ingredients are the building blocks that give Budweiser its uncompromised flavor. In addition to the five ingredients, the seven steps in brewing Budweiser remain the same today. The seven steps are milling, mashing, straining, the brewkettle, primary fermentation, beechwood aging, and finishing (Budweiser Anheuser-Busch). Using the beechwood aging process allows more interaction between the beer and the yeast. This is the unique formulation that has propelled Budweiser into the staple beer which many others have imitated, but not quite duplicated. We will use Budweiser’s unique recipe and brewing process to market...

Anheuser Busch has grown to be one of the world’s largest beer companies offering the world’s top two selling beers, Bud Light and Budweiser. Chinese beer market is an increasing market with a huge potential. Though there is a huge foreign interest on this market, most foreign investment usually failed. In 2004 company acquire Harbin brewery in China. Foreign companies tend to face problem as provincial regulation are there to protect local companies and furthermore to keep the tax revenues within province. Regulatory roadblocks were designed to keep tax revenues at home. Many recognized global brands were unable to achieve their company goals because the company really didn’t understand the customer taste and preference. Anheuser-Bush entry into China was in 1993 through 5% participation to the capital of Tsingtao brewery, the internationally renowned Chinese brewer based on the East coast and later in February 1995, through a $140 Million acquisition of 80% stake in Zhongde Brewery, a large brewery in Wuhan, in Hubei province, eastern China. The company produced its global brand “Budweiser” in Wuhan and engaged a massive advertising campaign to build the name as a premium brand all over China.

...supplier is the supply chain (Investopedia, 2015). Each step in the process represents a link in the chain. The following analyzes each link in the supply chain for Anheuser-Busch’s company Budweiser. In addition, we will look at the purpose and value of each link. Manufacturer Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB-IB) owns and operates 12 breweries throughout the United States to manufacture Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch Companies, 2015). Having multiple breweries spread out across the states saves the company shipping cost and provides a fresh product to the retailer. Along with brewing, the company also grows their own hops and bottles most of their products. The breweries use the same seven-step process today as the founder did in 1876 to creating Budweiser. The five main ingredients that make Budweiser’s memorable taste are rice, hops, malt, yeast, and water. Once the beer is brewed and packaged, AD-IB sells to various wholesalers. Wholesalers Wholesalers buy from the manufacturer and only sell to retailers. The Retailer A Conclusion Presented in the paper was the analysis of each link in the supply chain for Budweiser.
