Adolph Coors Case Study On The Beer Industry

Throughout most of its history, the Coors Brewing Company (Coors) has been a regionalized brewer within the United States, specializing in high-quality beer through by virtue of its source water selection, stringent production standards, and cold filtered brewing approach. As the company expanded its distribution to new markets within the U.S. in attempt to gain market share, it made a strategic decision to maintain a majority of its brewing operations at its primary production facility in Golden, Colorado. This decision was based upon the desire to preserve its core production strengths through close family control. However, as the company desires to expand its market presence beyond the

The situation facing Mr. Larry Brownlow is a tough one. He is young with minimal money to work with. This shows that he must be careful and research all of his investing activities closely. The problem that faces him is deciding if opening a Coors Beer brewery in his area of Delaware is a profitable investment. The beer is obviously not widely carried in the area so that makes the situation that much harder. He has less information to work with. This is why he contacted the Manson Research Firm. That presents the second problem. The firm will do the research to help do a feasibility analysis, but the information is not cheap. Larry is working with about two weeks until the deadline to submit an application for distributorship. He

Larry’s main problem is determining whether or not to invest in distributing the Coors product (Kerin & Peterson, pg. 128). Larry also faces other problems such as questioning the amount of cash flow that he has available and what kind of research Larry should conduct to in order to decipher the viability of a Coors beer business in the Delaware area (Kerin & Peterson, pg. 129). Even though the research element is stressed throughout the case, the core problem still points to the basic foundation of whether or not Larry should invest in the Coors product in general. The reason why this is the central problem

The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is a great place for business. It is home to multiple companies and their corporate headquarters – and with an international airport, open trade routes, multiple universities and academic institutions – it proves to be the perfect location for businesses and professionals alike. One such company that is headquartered in Plano, TX, and is an example of a thriving organization in the area, is the Dr Pepper Snapple Group. A mostly domestic company, with most of its business located in North American and Mexico, the DPS Group is a manufacturer of nonalcoholic beverages in the beverage industry and is third in overall market share (after Coca-Cola and Pepsico). The beverage industry is steady and growing, but the nonalcoholic beverage portion of the industry is facing many challenges with carbonated soft drinks declining in sales due to a more health-conscious population. Analyzing the DPS Group and how they are dealing with these challenges was very interesting, as I have always been a Dr Pepper fan and would hate to see them go out of business or die out in the market. I have known people who have worked for the company and loved it, and I hope to work for them someday as well. I collected my research on the company through their website, articles and journals, and my own knowledge of the company and research into the company history through a visit to the Dr Pepper museum.

I believe it would be advantageous for Coors to build a brewery in Virginia. This is because in order for Coors to gain market share by expanding into the remaining states, transportation costs from Colorado to eastern and southern states would be enormous. Therefore, the brewery in Virginia would cut transportation costs and provide a central location to distribute along the east coast. Also, building a brewery in Virginia along the Shenandoah River supports Coors’ values of creating a product using high quality water in its production. “Multiplant configurations also reduced the risk of catastrophic shutdowns due to strikes, fires, or explosions, permitted centralized production of low-volume packages (which increased run lengths)” (pg. 3).

New Belgium Brewing Company is a craft brewery located in Fort Collins, Colorado. It opened in 1991 after Jeff Lebesch, the brewery 's founder, took his home brewing passion commercially. In 2011, it produced 712,800 barrels of its various labels. As of 2012, it was the third-largest craft brewery and eighth-largest overall brewery in the United States. [1]

There are countless companies out there all trying to be considered successful, but unfortunately most do not make it over a long period of time. Some companies have found what works for them and somehow beat the odds, and can truly call themselves a success. The Boston Beer Company (BBC), is one of those companies that has continually shown growth since their start. In fact, their unique taste combined with the highest quality of craft brewing is what their customers have come to expect from Boston Beer Company. Their company approach was not a complete slam dunk over night, but something that Boston Beer Company took very seriously to grow the company from the ground up.

The current vision and value statements for Molson Coors rely on a unproblematic idea—the proposition of commonality. A vision statement is the declaration of a company 's goals which identifies what the company wishes to achieve or accomplish, and it should be a singular, unified, and clearly explained to all employees so that the proper business strategies are developed to reach the goals (Hom, 2013). The company 's vision is deeply rooted in the idea of “Our Brew,” the cultural compass which provides direction, definition and value (Molson Coors, n.d.). This value is seen from the top down. Our CEO Peter Swinburn said, “It is our business to understand how the company affects the environment, and our employees,

The age of carbonated soft drinks, or as we know it in Canada as pop, all began in 17674, when Dr. Joseph Priestley (1733-1804)3, created the first drinkable man-made glass of carbonated water. Born from Dr. Joseph Priestley original creation, are two corporate giants, Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo Inc., which have grown to become household names across the world. Throughout this report, we will be exploring the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threat for each of these publically traded companies. We will further compare and analyse the financial performance of these two industry leaders of the non-alcoholic beverage market.
