  • The Structure-Conduct-Performance Paradigm and the Beer Industry in Zimbabwe
    Vol-2, Issue-4 PP. 735-741 ISSN: 2394-5788 THE STRUCTURE-CONDUCT-PERFORMANCE PARADIGM AND THE BEER INDUSTRY IN ZIMBABWE Clainos Chidoko and Rose Constancia Sakuhuni & Shylet Mufandaedza Faculty of Commerce, Department of Economics, Great Zimbabwe University, Box 1235, Masvingo, Zimbabwe Abstract The beer industry has the greater market share owned by the informal sector which holds a larger share of home brew market. To investigate the beer industry the study utilized the Structure-Conduct –Performance paradigm to link the structure of the market, the conduct of the firms in the market and their economic performance. The results show that Zimbabwe’s beer industry has a competitive market structure and high levels of industrial concentration in commercial produced beer. Low-end beer industry in Zimbabwe has low entry barriers resulting in plenty of low-end beer business and low quality of products, which determine the fierce competition of the market. Key words: S-C-P paradigm, Beer industry, Concentration, Causal relationship, Market structure, Informal. Contribution/Originality This is one of few studies which have made an in-depth analysis of the beer industry using the structure-conduct- performance paradigm. The analysis has enabled the observation that low-end beer industry in Zimbabwe has low entry barriers resulting in plenty of low-end beer business and low quality of products, which determine the fierce competition of the market. 1. INTRODUCTION The Zimbabwean beer industry is characterized by high levels of concentration with Delta Beverages dominating the market. The research tries to link the structure-conduct-performance (S-C-P) paradigm in the beer industry in Zimbabwe.

The reason: Con- strained aggregate demand, limited access to cash, changes in payment platforms and delays in foreign currency remittances. Add to this the fact that torrential rains, which Zimbabwe experienced during the last season, limited market access and inhibited outdoor consumption occasions. “As a consumer facing business, these chal- lenges impacted the fortunes of the company,” said the group’s statement on the results.
