Management Q Why is it that you suspect that the new generation of Americans is shunning drinking beer? The new generation of people in America is shunning alcohol for some legal reasons that the government has enacted. The government has put in place some legal restrictions on the brewing of alcohol in the country. These laws have prevented growth of the local brewing companies thus making them to lose ground to supply the drink locally (Esterl, 2013).

What brewer has the largest brewery and how does it manage to get its product worldwide? (Use that answer to explain you decision as CEO)
Spreading breweries all over China is a better than building one huge brewery because of a breakdown of one of the breweries others will serve the market with the product. Anheuser-Busch InBev has the largest brewery in the world and it has managed to get its products worldwide through establishment of several branches of breweries in many nations. Setting up several branches has enabled the company to cut down the cost of exporting the products from a single source (Esterl, 2013).

The idea also reduces competition that the rival companies may offer in the market as the completion may lower profits (Esterl, 2013).
