  • Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe: the Adaptation of Finland's, Sweden's and Norway's Alcohol
    Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Nordic Alcohol Policy Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe in Europe The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe Policy Alcohol Nordic To what extent have Finland, Sweden and Norway adapted their alcohol policies to the framework imposed on them by the European Union and the European Economic Area since the mid-1990s? How has alcohol policies in the Nordic countries evolved between 1994 and 2013 and how strict are their alcohol policies in comparison with the rest of Europe? These are some of the main research questions in this study. Besides alcohol policies, the analyses comprise the development of alcohol consumption and cross-border trade with alcohol. In addition to a qualitative analysis, a RESEARCH quantitative scale constructed to measure the strictness of alcohol policies is RESEARCH utilised. The results from the study clearly corroborate earlier findings on the significance of Europeanisation and the Single Market for the development of Nordic alcohol policy. All in all, alcohol policies in the Nordic countries are more liberal in 2013 than they were in 1994. The restrictive Nordic policy tradition has, however, still a solid evidence base and nothing prevents it from being the base for alcohol policy in the Nordic countries also in the future.

  • Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S
    Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S Master Thesis – Finance and Strategic Management 30th of September 2011 Cand. merc. FSM Department of Finance Copenhagen Business School Author: Andri Stefánsson Supervisor: Carsten Kyhnauv Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S Executive summary The main objective of this thesis was to determine the theoretical fair value of one Carlsberg A/S share on the 1st of March 2011. Carlsberg A/S is the world´s 4th largest brewery measured in sales volume and has acquired this position both through organic growth as well as acquisitions of its competitors as a part of the consolidation phase that the brewing industry has undergone in the past 10 years. In order to obtain the necessary understanding of the company´s business model, a strategic analysis was carried out both on an external as well as on an internal level. The strategic analysis showed that Carlsberg has a very strong product portfolio and one of its main strengths was innovation in regards to new products targeting new market segments. Being the 4th largest brewery in the world creates great economies of scale which are of importance. The strategic analysis also showed that the political and economical situation in Russia is of most threat to Carlsberg. The strategic analysis was followed by a financial analysis which showed that all key financial drivers rose upon till 2008 when the recent economic crisis hit and Carlsberg at the same time acquired Scottish & Newcastle. From 2009 the key financial drivers showed improvements both due to Carlsberg being able to make use of the synergies created as a part of the acquisition along with an increase in revenue and lower borrowing costs.

Received: 5 April 2020; Accepted: 21 April 2020; Published: 4 May 2020 Abstract: Biodiversity needs to be preserved to ensure food security. Border zones create high but vulnerable biocultural diversity. Through reviewing scattered historical data and documenting the current use of wild food plants among people currently living in historical Setomaa and Võromaa parishes, we aimed to identify cross-cultural differences and diachronic changes as well as the role borders have played on the local use of wild plants. The Seto have still preserved their distinctive features either by consciously opposing others or by maintaining more historical plant uses. People historically living in Setomaa and Võromaa parishes have already associated the eating of wild plants with famine food in the early 20th century, yet it was stressed more now by the Seto than by Estonians. Loss of Pechory as the center of attraction in the region when the border was closed in the early 1990s brought about a decline in the exchange of knowledge as well as commercial activities around wild food plants. National support for businesses in the area today and the popularity of a healthy lifestyle have introduced new wild food plant applications and are helping to preserve local plant-specific uses in the area.

  • Saku Export 2019
    SAKU BREWERY EXPORT PORTFOLIO A guide to the Estonian brewery and its beverages ESTONIA Refreshing drinks from pure nature stonia is a small country situated in the upper right E corner of the European Union. Our neighbours are Finland to the north, Sweden to the west, the other Baltic states to the south and Russia to the east. We feel closest in spirit to the Scandinavian countries through our national identity and Nordic climate. Estonia has a small population and its population density is quite low compared to that of Western Europe, which is why we have a lot of pure, untouched nature. About half of the country’s territory is covered with forests and bogs. The other half is mostly used for agricultural purposes; one tenth of this half is covered with densely populated areas. Our extensive agricultural background gives us a strong advantage in being a considerable player in the field of producing beer and other drinks. Brewing beer from cereals and distilling spirits have been our traditional industries for centuries. ESTONIANS A distinctive nation with distinctive tastes ith a population of a bit more than 1 million people, Estonia is one of W the least populated countries in the European Union and has enjoyed independence for just less than a hundred years. Nevertheless, as a nation, we have existed for many thousands of years, being dominated by Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Russia at different times. We have managed to preserve our language, culture and our distinctive national identity throughout all these eras. When it comes to Estonian food culture, we can’t say that Estonian cuisine is something extraordinary.
