therefore, at inception, it was 100 percent foreign owned. By the early 1950s, when it began operating fully, some indigenous traders that were involved with its products as at that time were invited to become shareholders. Under the indigenization policy of the early 1970s the foreign shareholders were forced to sell a significant proportion of their holdings. Today, the company is 60 percent Nigerian owned and 40 per cent foreign owned. The 60 percent of the Nigerian stake is held by the company employees and members of the public, while the 40 per cent of the foreign ownership is split almost equally between CWA Holdings Limited (for Unilever) and Heineken Brouwerijen
Civilization View: Due to Anheuser-Busch's global distribution, the company itself cannot represent only one single civilization. If fact, the company is made up of many different civilizations, including the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, and Spain. One of the main reasons that these particular countries have a distribution center may be due to their culture. The people there view beer as a favorable product that everyone should be able to enjoy, and one of the reasons the product is popular may be because of that belief. This provides an enormous market for the beer industry.
Belgium is known for a culture of high-quality beer and this concept was formulated by an electrical engineer from Fort Collins, Colorado. The electrical engineer, Jeff Lebesch, was traveling through Belgium on his fat-tired mountain bike when he envisioned the same high-quality beer in Colorado. Lebesch acquired the special strain of yeast used in Belgium and took it back to his basement in Colorado and the experimentation process was initiated. His friends were the samplers and when they approved the beer it was marketed. In 1991, Lebesch opened the New Belgium Brewing Company (NBB) with his wife, Kim Jordan, as the marketing director. The first beer and continued bestseller, Fat Tire Amber Ale, was named after the bike ride in Belgium. The operation went from a basement to an old railroad depot and then expanded into a custom-built facility in 1995. The custom-built facility included an automatic brew house, quality-assurance labs and technological innovations. NBB offers permanent, seasonal and one-time only beers with a mission to be a lucrative brewery while making their love and talent visible.

Another key issue is the high tax rate on alcoholic drinks if they produce more than 50,000 hectolitres. If the company keep growing, they cannot control their production under 50,000 hectolitres in the long term. Therefore, the high tax rate cannot be avoided and the tax will have a big impact on the profitability of the company since they were paying only one-10th of what large beer enterprises pay.
