AB InBev plans takeover/merger with SABMiller and it has been suggested that Coke could be the next target. Do you see this globalization of the market as a positive or negative, and who wins/loses most?
answer:Probably not a good idea. We have been in a period of massive takeovers and mergers for quite some time now and the result is less competition and bigger corporations. These aguys are getting so big that any new competition is easily squeezed out the smaller companies don’t have a chance to get their products to market. It doesn’t matter which industry we’re talking about Airlines, beverages, banks, etc. the result is the same. Higher cost of entry for new business and less competition for the consumer. Any move to stop this must be taken by the countries involved. I wouldn’t want to see interference from an international body on domestic business nor does one exist.
