In an industry as competitive and reactive as the wine and spirits sector, decades of endurance is impressive. Over the course of two centuries Brown-Forman has been established as a resilient, family-owned and operated organization renowned for a diverse range of high-caliber liquor, in addition to other alcoholic beverages. Their mission statement emphasizes core values such as “integrity, respect, trust, teamwork, and excellence,” while also professing to “enrich the experience of life...by responsibly building beverage alcohol brands that thrive and endure for generations” (Brown-Forman, About, 2017). In 1870, George Brown and his half-brother founded J.T.S. Brown and Bro., intending to manufacture whiskey of incomparable quality and taste by introducing new techniques to the business (Brown-Forman History, 2017). Brown pursued this …show more content…
Increasingly attractive dividends and stock prices gained the attention of investors, particularly as financial statements indicated sustainability as well as growth-the company was earning billions of dollars by 2000 alone (Brown-Forman History, 2017). Accolades such as the “National Preservation Honor Award from The National Trust for Historic Preservation,” the naming of the Korbel Champagne line as the “Champagne of the New Millennium,” and continuously high placement on the Corporate Equality Index and Corporate Environmental Index demonstrated critical acclaim (Brown-Forman History, 2017). Since 2013 Brown Forman has dramatically intensified efforts to simultaneously dominate the domestic market, install a stronger physical presence overseas, and overhaul their offerings to appeal to multiple generations and alcohol
The two organizations explained in this assignment are “Anheuser Busch” and “MOLSON Coors”.

From our research, Anheuser-Busch is content with being the number one beer company in the world, increasing sales each year in operation. We found that Anheuser-Busch met many views associated with the world, business, and behavioral dimensions. The company also displayed its stability as we reviewed one of its most successful products Budweiser, owned by Anheuser-Busch, under the marketing view and the financial view. Not only do they hold almost half of the market share in the industry but their stock prices, sales volume, and net sales have all increased from 2002 to 2003. We also looked at Budweiser in terms of geography and culture. We found due to the fact that the "western" countries consume the majority of beer, it only makes sense that Anheuser-Busch concentrates on that market. Along these lines, another key goal that is also important to Anheuser-Busch is to boost other beer markets that are located in other cultures, where at the time beer is not a major consumption.

Richard believes that his vision for the company, a two-tiered concept with a top microbrewery producing fresh, quality beer and a chain of brewpubs, has potential. However, due to the more complex nature of running a restaurant, he believes that the company has yet to figure out how to run its restaurant business profitably.

Rumain Brisbon,Tamir Rice, Kajieme Powell, Michael Brown, John Crawford III, Eric Garner, San Bland, Andy Lopez, Deion Fludd, Kimani Gray, Rekia Boyd, Aiyana Jones ( seven years old) were a child to a mother, a brother or sister, a father, a uncle. Someone knew these people. They were their biggest pride and joy. Can you imagine how it feels to no longer have your pride and joy within a split second, due to the way they look? The excruciating pain of having to live with the death of a child is a mother's worst nightmare. In the city of Ferguson, Michael Brown was an unarmed black teen shot by police; this was the beginning of an uprisings against police brutality nationwide.
As stated in the case, “the market for energy drinks was growing; between 2010 and 2012, the market for energy drinks had grown by 40%. It was estimated to be $8.5 billion in the United States in 2013 [and] forecasts projected that figure to reach $13.5 billion by 2018” (pg 5). However, much of this market’s revenue -- 85% in fact -- is dominated by five major brands, while the remaining 15% is split between approximately 30 regional and national companies. (pg. 5). With this saturated market, it might not be best for Crescent Pure to enter as a completely new product to the industry, as there is the possibility that it will be squeezed out of the profit shares by more established brands -- especially if it is not properly secure in its identity. In addition, while the market for energy drinks appeared to be growing at an exponential rate compared to the market for sports drinks -- which increased only 9% in five years and would be at approximately 60% of the rate for energy drinks in 2017 (pg 6) -- the consumers appeared to be wary of partaking in the market for several reasons, which would potentially harm the reach of Crescent Pure. These concerns included rising news reports discussing the safety of energy drinks (pg. 5). Taking into consideration the data provided in the case that concerns reasonings of why consumers choose specific drinks over others, there

The Walker family used their encyclopaedic knowledge of Scotland’s malts to create a blend with universal appeal. The result? RED LABEL became the world’s favourite whisky, a position it still holds today. Developed for an export market with a taste for long, refreshing drinks, it’s the label that built the Walker empire, and the brand that defined the whisky business.”(johnniewalker.com,2014)
The beverage industry is highly competitive and presents many alternative products to satisfy a need from within. The principal areas of competition are in pricing, packaging, product innovation, the development of new products and flavours as well as promotional and marketing strategies.
