Case resume:
Corona Extra was introduced in the United States in 1979, and became the fastest growing imported beer in U.S history. Corona Extra has been brewed and bottled in Mexico by Grupo Modelo (Mexico’s largest brewer) since 1926. It operates seven state-of-the-art breweries throughout Mexico and currently exporting Corona to more than 1500 countries worldwide (Corona , 2010). The brewer has a 51 percent market share and exports to 56 countries. Beer has increased its share of total alcohol consumption every year but in 2008 the trend of Corona slowed down. In emerging markets beer has shown higher growth than other alcohol categories as consumers switch local to commercially produced beer. Beer drinking is on the rise and the market of beer drinkers has changed from being predominantly a male product to females now drinking socially too. Over the past five years, the beer category has maintained a compound annual growth rate of 4.8% globally (www.sabmiller.com,2010). The beer industry has also seen a trend towards consumers trading up to attractive, local, premium and more expensive beers. Since 1997 Corona has become the number one imported beer in the US, substituting Heineken who had held the number one spot in the beer industry since 1933. With Corona expanding their company internationally into the United States and Canada, Grupo Modelo has already responded to the potential threats that may come because of the unpredictable Mexican economic system and their political environments.

    1a. There are several reasons BBC should focus on the light beer market. It is true that their sales were decreasing from year to year but I think there is nothing wrong with the product itself. The problem is on the marketing and management system. It was proved from the result of the consumer taste survey. Most of people said that lightship beer had better taste, better color and smell compare to Bud light, Coors Light, and Amstel Light and the result stated that lightship beer was in the first place. We got almost the same result from the blind test that is held in several countries including USA and Canada. Another important reason is the demand for the light beer is relative high from the consumers. People said that the advantage of drinking light beer because it contains lower calorie. Based on the field study, light beers accounted for five of the top ten best-selling beers in supermarkets. So, it is very pity if BBC stops producing light beer.…

    Heineken uses an international strategy that involves using cross-border deals to increase their distribution of over 250 beer brands in over 175 countries. The company has also acquired many different small brewers all over the world to add to their portfolio and increase access to new markets. Due to this strategy, Heineken currently operates over 125 breweries in over 70 countries and holds 10% of the global beer market. The company’s main entry mode into foreign markets involves foreign direct investment through acquisitions that give Heineken a great degree of ownership and control. They gain control of the whole brewery, so they expand by way of wholly owned subsidiaries. Heineken’s international acquisition strategy allows the company to increase market share and presence in their industry across the world, and do not have to worry about the added costs associated with creating new brands. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what strategy for globalization Heineken has used, since they acquire these brands with already developed and successful products and allow them to stay as their own brands. I would describe Heineken’s strategy to be most similar to a transnational strategy. A transnational strategy is based on firms optimizing the trade-offs that go along with efficiency, local adaptation, and learning, where the pressures for local adaptation and lowering costs are high. A company using this strategy, seeks efficiency but as a means to achieve global competitiveness, as does Heineken.…

    As recently as 2004, 64 percent of the global beer market ownership was fragmented among ten beer corporations (Anderson, 5). In 2008 the merger of Anheuser-Busch (A-B) and global giant InBev created the world’s largest brewer: Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI), followed by SABMiller (second-largest) and Molson Coors Brewing Company (fifth-largest) (Anderson, 5). To better compete with ABI’s growing world beer market share, SABMiller and Molson Coors combined their U.S. and Puerto Rico operations to establish their joint venture, MillerCoors LCC (Anderson, 5). With these massive consolidations, the two beer giants (ABI and MillerCoors) now have combined control of more than 40 percent of the world beer market and 80 percent of the United States beer market (Anderson, 5).…
