Labatt-Femsa: Amigos for Growth
內容大綱
This case explores a proposal by Labatt management to purchase a 22% interest in a Mexican brewing business and strike associated agreements for cooperative activities throughout North America. An evaluation of the deal requires an assessment of the prospects of the venture in the Mexican and U.S. beer markets, the potential for synergies in the cooperative activities, and ultimately the pricing and financing of an investment in a developing economy. This case is similar to Una Cerveceria Por Favor: Labatt Buys Into Mexico, case 9A95G013, in that it varies primarily in the time perspective from which the issues are addressed. Only one of these cases is necessary in a course.
