External Audit
Opportunities Governmental restrictions are much lower in the countries that AnheuserBusch is expanding to There has been a noticeable shift in consumer preferences toward beer in traditional wine-drinking countries. An expected increase in the domestic number of beer drinkers over 21 should contribute an additional 1% annual gain in beer sales for the next few years Demand for American brews in Asia, Latin America, and Europe is growing Quickly growing populations in developing international markets Americans have experienced annual increases in disposable income since 2000. Threats The domestic beer marketplace is highly regulated There have been sharp increases in federal excise taxes on alcoholic beverages International breweries and microbreweries expanding into the USA Domestic population only increases at an annual rate of about one percent. (limited growth potential for domestic beer and entertainment operations) Changes in peoples disposable income may have unfavorable effects

Decisions
Primary
Increase presence and awareness in Asian, eastern European, and Latin American markets

Possibilities
Continue to dominate market share with extensive advertising Increase education on responsible consumption to maintain good public image Unload less profitable theme parks and possibly expand the more profitable parks

Implementation
Invest $182 million over three years in Tsingtao Brewery Company, Ltd. Of China. This investment will increase Anheuser-Buschs equity interest to 27% of Tsingtao. Invest if needed $165 million in Compania Cervecerias Unidas S.A. (CCU), the largest brewery in Chile. This investment would increase Anheuser-Buschs equity interest in CCU from 20% to 30%, and would make Anheuser-Busch products more available in the Latin American markets.
