Anheuser-Busch Versus SABMiller: Bidding War in China's Beer Industry
內容大綱
An unprecedented bidding war for the Chinese fourth-largest beer maker, Haerbin Brewery, broke out between the world top two breweries--Anheuser-Busch and SABMiller. Presents the different strategies these companies adopted to enter Chinese market. Anheuser-Busch entered the Chinese market with its nearly fully owned subsidiary and promoted its own brand, Budweiser, whereas SABMiller knocked through the market with its joint venture with CRE. Its expansion in China came mostly through mergers--it did not introduce into the market its own world-famous brand. Anheuser-Busch, on the other hand, went down the acquisition road, first with Tsingtao and then with the Haerbin brewery.
