Description
The Thatcher administration's radical intervention in the UK brewing industry was a response to the 1986-89 Monopolies and Mergers Commission inquiry. This book examines the creation of big brewers, official investigations into an uncompetitive structure, and the consequences for consumers and licensees. The intervention had significant effects on the industry, leading to damaging outcomes for those affected. The book provides a detailed analysis of this period in UK business history. By studying this intervention, readers can gain insight into the strategic planning and leadership decisions that shaped the UK brewing industry during a critical period.
