  • Hanoi a Beer Drinker'
    Hanoi a beer drinker's haven (11/10/2012) Hanoi has been named one of the cheapest and best places to drink fresh beer in Asia by travel guides and journalists, thanks to its lively drinking culture. Many tourists look forward to the chance to join local Hanoians and enjoy the city's famous Bia Hoi (fresh beer) - a light-bodied pilsner without preservatives that is brewed and delivered daily to drinking places throughout the capital. Hanoi has become a magnet for tourists who enjoy drinking beer, which is readily available at local pavement shops as well as in luxurious bars. There are thousands of corner bars with tiny plastic stools set out on the sidewalk and small low tables laden with glasses of beer. Visitors should taste Vietnamese beer and learn how local people drink. "Mot, hai, bazo!! (One, two, three go!!) and "Tram phan tram! ("100 percent" or "bottoms up") are common chants that accompany a drinking session in these local establishments. "Bia Hoi is one of things you should not miss when you come to Hanoi, says Thomas, a foreign tourist who chooses Hanois old quarter as his favourite place to imbibe a cool brew. He says he likes Hanoi beer because it is very cheap and delicious. Another thing that amazes visitors is that the beer bars are mostly on the sidewalk where drinkers sometimes have to raise their voices over the din of motorbike traffic or breathe in the clouds of diesel exhaust belched over the plastic tables by a passing bus. "Sitting on the pavement, listening to the mixed sounds, drinking beer and just looking at what's happening around me has become my habit during my time in Hanoi, Thomas elaborates.

  • Valuation of Carlsberg
    Copenhagen Business School MSc Accounting, Strategy and Control Master Thesis Valuation of Carlsberg A/S A strategic and financial analysis of Carlsberg considering the effect of the operational restructuring program SAIL’22 on the company’s operating performance and share price Supervisor: Svend Peter Malmkjær by Theresa Haffer - 106062 Annika Kunz - 107931 Pages: 118 Characters: 269.435 Date of Submission: May 15th, 2018 Abstract The thesis answers the research question: What is the estimated value per share of Carlsberg as of 31st December 2017 considering the restructuring initiative SAIL’22? To answer the question, first a strategic analysis of the macro- and micro environment is conducted followed by a profitability analysis based on Carlsberg’s historical performance. The analysis help to identify value drivers which are then taken into account when forecasting Carlsberg’s future performance. Finally, this input is used to calculate the enterprise value applying the Discounted Cash Flow model as well as the Economic Value Added approach. During the course of the thesis a special focus is put on the company-wide operational restructuring program SAIL’22 that Carlsberg currently conducts. On the one hand, we consider the potential effects of SAIL’22 when assessing the business environment and when forecasting future performance. Measures within SAIL’22 aim to make the company more successful by driving sustainable growth and more efficient through streamlining processes throughout the value chain. By taking a closer look at the specific activities we derive the expectation that SAIL’22 will enhance an increase in revenue and a reduction in costs. On the other hand, we calculate the effect of the restructuring initiative on the shareholder value.

  • Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M
    Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M. Pilcher This is a very preliminary discussion of a book I hope to write on the globalization of beer. The first section outlines the literature and my research plan as sort of a first draft of a grant proposal intended to convince some funding agency to pay for me to travel the world drinking beer. The rest of the paper illustrates some of these ideas with three Asian case studies. I started with Asia in response to an invitation to participate in a recent SSRC Interasia Workshop in Istanbul and because the languages and meager secondary literature make it the hardest part of the project to research. There are mostly questions where the conclusions should be, and I welcome all suggestions. In June of 2013, Turkish crowds gathered in Istanbul’s Taksim Square to protest the growing authoritarianism of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Refusing to surrender their democratic freedoms, they opened bottles of Efes Pilsner and raised mock toasts to the tee-totaling Islamist politician: “Cheers, Tayyip!”1 The preference for European-style beer, rather than the indigenous, anise-flavored liquor arak, illustrates the complex historical movements that have shaped global consumer culture, and at times, political protests. Turkish entrepreneurs founded the Efes brewery in 1969, less than a decade after guest workers first began traveling to Germany and returning home with a taste for lager beer.2 This brief episode illustrates both the networks of migration, trade, and colonialism that carried European beer around the world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the new drinking cultures that emerged as a result.
