POLITICAL1.Government campaigning against drinking and drivingHard-hitting campaigns and stiffer penalties have helped to reduce the number of roads accidents, deaths, injuries and damage. Campaigns have aimed to raise awareness of the legal situation and the dangers of driving while intoxicated. In most international jurisdictions, anyone who is convicted of injuring or killing someone while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be heavily fined, as in France, in addition to being given a lengthy prison sentence. Sometimes those campaigns make the brewery industry looking very bad since usually the blame is laid exclusively on them for making alcohol so easily available. Threat, with the government heavily expending money in such …show more content…
These new rules were taken to restrict investment on the real estate, retailing, and shipbuilding, banking and insurance market. Even though these rules have not affected directly the brewery industry in future that could be the case after many small breweries in China have been bought by the large international brewers. Threat, a change of rules restricting foreign investment is never good news for business. ECONOMIC1. Globalization (acquisition/merges/alliances)The integration of economic, political, and cultural systems across the globe. The global pressure for consolidation due to the overcapacity within the brewery industry. The needs to contain costs and benefits of leveraging strong brands through acquisitions, merges, alliances, licensing by the big player while attempting to gain a bigger share or to control the market. Opportunity for fast growing and to exploit new markets. 2. Increase in wages and disposable income from the new members of the EU (Eastern Europe)Jobs and money have flowed into Easter Europe countries since they became part of the EU. With the inclusion of theses countries in the EU the average wage went up and the living conditions have improved. They now are able to afford all the commodities that the rest of Europe has been enjoying for years. It is
Out of the 28 members of the EU, there is ought to be a country with a weaker economy. Based off of Nauro F. Campos, Fabrizio and Luigi Moretti’s research, countries that recently joined (2004) the EU like Portugal, Czech Republic and Hungary now has an economy much higher than their synthetic GDP. Which is the predicted GDP if they didn’t join the EU (Doc B). This information proves that the EU does actually work economically as countries in the organization by improving their economy and supporting them. Another example of this economic growth is Poland. According to Mitchell A. Orenstein, the Polish economy had been growing “rapidly” for 20 years. At more than 4% a year. He also stated that some German industries are able to produce goods in Poland for cheaper than China. These examples show how the EU is able to support its members economically and still benefit the stronger members at the same time. Benefiting both sides brings peace in between the countries, which brings me to this last
However the government have not just been attempting to raise awareness about the effects of drink driving but also putting in place stricter measures for offenders so that people are deterred even more from driving whilst they are under the influence of alcohol. At present the maximum penalty for being caught drinking and driving is a £5000 fine, a ban on the individual’s driving licence and 6 months imprisonment. If the individual causes a road collision whilst they are under the influence of alcohol and cause a fatality, they can be sentenced to a maximum of 14 years in prison. Apart from the initiatives in place to prevent drinking and driving, there have been other government initiatives used in order to stop people from using their phones when they are driving, to wear their seatbelt whilst they are driving and to prevent road rage by raising awareness.
To increase the size of potential markets Wolters need to pursue international expansion. As seen in the case large breweries were only interested in orders that were a minimun 10,000 hl. So, Wolters needs to increase the volume of speciality beers to be exported in order to deal with large breweries. At the same time, they need to keep in mind the political and currency risks in exporting to other countries.
If I were asked by NBB’s management to create a new television ad to coincide with the opening of its new brewing facility in Asheville, NC, I would think of things that New Belgium is known for. I would start off by showing the consumer what NBB is known for and that is being an environment friendly organization. My vision of the commercial should include the fleet of trucks NBB uses. New Belgium has a fleet of four delivery trucks and eight passenger vehicles, including two hybrid trucks, two Nissan Leaf EVs, and five Toyota Prius hybrids because the move toward using no- to low-emission vehicles is part of the company’s environmental commitment (Kelley, 2014). Second, I would show some of the features of the new facility in Ashville. Letting
The New Belgium Brewing Company and Anheuser-Busch InBev Company both are in the business of selling beer to their customers who enjoy it. The size of companies operations, employment, and influence differ in many ways. Both company set similar goals to better the environment, better customer satisfaction, and better the lives of people in communities that they can spread their message as well as their products. The priorities and practices that each company follows, allows both companies to be unique as well as similar in their fight to build a better planet.
When considering joining the European Union, countries think about how they will benefit and one way they can benefit, is through the economy. First of all, there is a common currency, the euro. This makes moving from country to country easier, as well as giving nations in the European Union a feeling of unity. Europeans can move freely within Europe and do not have to worry about exchanging currency. Having the euro is also beneficial because it eliminates trade barriers, by having the same currency, it will be easier to trade. There will be no need for conversions when trading throughout the European Union. Also, the free trade area is beneficial
The exploration of the government sponsored website, choosemyplate.gov was enlightening and informational. This webpage gives detailed information on the appropriate diet for someone who is conscious about health and wellness.

In the United States of America over 10,000 people die each year from accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver and according to CBS news, that number is on the rise. Drunk driving is the criminal act of driving while being impaired, alcoholically. When alcohol is consumed it is absorbed into the bloodstream. In most situations alcohol slows down the brain's ability to control the body, reflexes are also affected by this. If a driver is impaired his ability to track moving objects are affected along with the ability to control the vehicle. Drunk driving is a controversial topic because, some people think there should be more laws to prevent it while other believe the laws should be left alone.
I chose to review KidBlog which can be accessed by going to kidblog.org. This tool is a good tool to use in a classroom because of its compatibility with all devices. The purpose of KidBlog is to allow students to publish their writing online in a safe way that is managed by the teacher and also so students can practice being a digital citizen and a global collaborator. KidBlog allows the teacher to review students’ writing before it can be published. This feature ensures that all students are practicing and following the ISTE Standard of being a digital citizen. KidBlog also motivates students to be thoughtful when writing for a larger audience and allows them to connect with their peers inside and outside of their classroom.
The current international system is characterized by growth in globalization hence regional integration is becoming a common phenomenon in most parts of the world. As a result of states becoming more interconnected, most of them have opted for regional integration so as to enhance trade between states thus boosting economies of the states as well as the regions as a whole. Besides free trade, regional integration has seen to it the elimination of trade barriers, free movement of goods and people across borders, regional co-operation in issues to do with peace and security within the regions among various other benefits of regional integration. One of the regions that has grown as a result of regional integration is the European Union (EU), which is an economic and political partnership composed of 28 European countries. This paper will focus on the EU and give a theoretical analysis of the Brexit while giving lessons of integration and liberalization based on the Brexit.

The easier exchange of good and services among the three countries was also to facilitate the creation of more jobs. It has also impacted employment from the bottom up.
Third, there is the free movement of people. Since the Schengen Agreement (1990), which was followed by the Schengen Convention, came into force in 1995, controls on people at the internal borders of the Schengen Zone were abolished in order to harmonise controls at the external frontiers and to introduce a common policy on visas and other accompanying measures like police and judicial cooperation. Additionally, the right for European citizens to move freely within the Schengen Area is determined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Originally, a right of free movement across the EU was only envisaged for the working population, as a single market could not be achieved while limitations to workforce mobility remained in existence. In Articles 39 to 42 of the EC Treaty, the right for EU workers to move freely is fixed again explicitly. This “special” kind of freedom should also include that any discrimination based on nationalities between workers of the Member States, regarding employment, remuneration and other conditions of work and employment, is abolished. To sum it up, people have the right to live and settle freely and companies are authorized to recruit people they need anywhere in the
European Union is the largest and most powerful economic alliance in the world. The European Union has succeeded to considerably expand its influence in the past 20 years. The three models of enlargement and the strengthening of the actual EU’s economic along with political presence throughout its neighborhood are among the most remarkable successes of its post-Cold War history. The European Union is probably the key facilitators of stability within the Western Balkans; it represents a good institutional and normative spine for Eastern Neighborhood countries and acts to be a partner for a new thriving economic partnership with most of the Mediterranean states. In the past
However, this strategy also has some disadvantages that may hurt the company’s development: The first is the fierce competition between these brands. And it is important to note that using this strategy means facing higher risks. Cost control is another big problem. Obviously, the more brands there are to manage, the higher the costs. For this reason, many prudent companies prefer brand extension over multi-brand management.
