Philip Morris' Acquisition of RJR Nabisco

From the Paper:

"Philip Morris is the largest cigarette company in the United States, the second largest brewing company and the largest American food processor. Its brewing business comes from the Miller Brewing Company, and the food processing business comes from its Kraft General Foods subsidiary. In addition, Philip Morris controls what is arguably the world's most valuable brand name: Marlboro.. This research examines the current financial and marketing state of the company, and considers the company's efforts to acquire RJR Nabisco.

During 1993, tobacco, food and brewing contributed 42 percent, 50 percent and 7 percent to revenue, respectively, while contributing 56 percent, 38 percent and four percent to profit, also respectively. The remaining revenue and profit came from the company's financial and real estate activities."
