From the Paper:

"The total market position has fixed the strategy of the company into a mixture of strategies for different countries. The first concentration will be to look at the existing operation in South Africa, the operations in rest of Africa, Europe, United States and China. All these markets are expected to grow in the years to come. These positions are expected to provide yields in the short term. For growth in medium term, the company will have to start getting profits from the acquired brands of Miller and Peroni as there is a feeling that they have the capacity to provide profits in the long run, Regarding increase in selling volumes of beer, the company should plan to concentrate on China and India, both of which can later give much higher volumes of sale. The situation in Africa, though similar, is a little uncertain. The general trend of the market should be to move to greater acceptance of beers with higher value, and international brands, and the company has already started on the path to this."
