Anheuser-Busch sells out to InBev
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Budweiser and Bud Light, has agreed to a takeover by InBev, the giant Belgian brewer.
The union, if approved by shareholders and regulators, will create a global beer leader and bring to an end one of the most iconic names in American business.
Do you care?
Does is matter that a quintessentially American company will now be owned overseas, and its name changed to Anheuser-Busch-InBev?
Is this globalization run amok, or just smart business?
