Does it matter if the name Budweiser disappears?
Why would it disappear? By what reasoning would InBev find it in their interest to change the name of Budweiser to something else?
If the jobs are lost, and I do think that will happen over time, it may matter
Will some jobs be lost? Maybe. Is AB currently employing more people than neccessary to produce its various products? Could be. And if so, then some job cutting would be a good thing for the bottom line. Unless a consumer backlash against the new foreign owners cutting jobs results in a loss of sales greater than the savings.
And would InBev actually shut down AB operations in the US and move all production overseas? I don't see that as being a viable option at any time in the near or distant future.
Thanks for your response.
