CASE FACTSASAHI BREWERIES had a very conservative market, depended too much on
personal relationships, malfunctioning of their management control system,
retrenchments and distrust among employees. All these changed when Mr. Murai
and his successor, Mr. Higuchi came in as President.
Mr. Murai has Administrative style followed more of the corporate strategy. He
formulated an explicit company credo and created functional task forces, which are
Corporate Identity Introduction Team and Total Quality Control Introduction Team.
During his tenure, the company was able to think of a new image and a new taste
Asahi draft.
Mr.Higuchi has Entrepreneur style followed more of the economic strategy. Sales
was his responsibility. He involved in the launching of the Asahi draft and the super
dry with Focussed cost leadership ( i.e. Innovation & volume )

CASE FACTSASAHI BREWERIES, being an innovator in the beer industry, has introduced and
captured a very large segment of the dry beer market resulting in sales growth of
71.9% in 1988 while the industry grew only 7.6%. Asahi cannot supply further the
requirements of its distributors resulting in shortages.
In order to expand its production capacity, the company should invest more on
manufacturing equipment and systems to maintain its quality, construct buildings,hire more employees and provide them with training programs depending on the
companys market research.
The characteristics of the beer industry were divided into 2 kinds lager beer & draft
beer.The lager beer is more traditional and richer in taste while the draft beer was
gradually growing and lighter in taste. The two were quite similar in their production
processes, except that lager beer was heat pasteurized and draft was not.
Asahis dry beer was classified under draft beer.
