The type of strategic change in Anheuser-Busch during the hostile takeover by InBev in 2008 can be
identified as an "Acquisition" or "Mergers and Acquisitions" (M&A) strategic change.
Substantiation:
Anheuser-Busch underwent a significant change in its ownership structure when it was acquired
by InBev, resulting in the creation of AB InBev, the world's largest brewer.
A hostile takeover refers to the acquisition of a company against the wishes of its management
and board of directors. InBev's acquisition of Anheuser-Busch was hostile because it was not
supported by the target company's management.
This type of strategic change involves the integration of two companies, resulting in a change in
ownership, control, and strategic direction.
The hostile takeover by InBev led to a significant shift in the company's strategic direction and
global market position.
