    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.

  • GCR Affirms Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited's Rating of A(ZW)
    GCR affirms Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited’s rating of A(ZW); Outlook Stable. Johannesburg, 30 April 2018 — Global Credit Ratings (“GCR”) has affirmed Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited’s long-term and short-term national scale ratings of A(ZW) and A1(ZW) respectively; with the outlook accorded as Stable. The ratings are valid until April 2019. SUMMARY RATING RATIONALE Global Credit Ratings (“GCR”) has accorded the above credit ratings Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited (“Nedbank Zimbabwe”, “the bank”), formerly MBCA Bank Limited (“MBCA”), based on the following key criteria: The ratings accorded to Nedbank Zimbabwe reflect its fairly resilient credit profile within a challenging operating environment (characterised by weak economic activity, and cash and foreign currency shortages), underpinned by healthy capitalisation, strong financial and liquidity profiles. The ratings also reflect the bank’s increasing albeit small balance sheet, the improving competitive position envisaged following rebranding to Nedbank, and the implied support from the bank’s parent Nedbank Group Limited (“Nedbank Group “the group”). MBCA rebranded to Nedbank Zimbabwe towards the end of Q1 2018. The rebranding is expected to competitively position the bank relative to peers in terms of attracting retail and/or corporate clients for transactional activities. Non-funded income remains the most significant contributor to the bank’s revenues (51.9% at both FY16 and FY17) and coupled with a strong IT infrastructure being put in place, maximising on the transactional income opportunity set is envisaged. Full profit retention has supported a healthy capital build over the past 5 years, with the bank targeting to meet the USD100m regulatory minimum capital threshold set for 2020 organically.
