Analysis of the declared strategy of selected breweries from the point of view of its realization

Thesis of qualitative character deals with the strategy at the business level. The aim of the thesis was to compare two breweries from the point of view of the declared business strategy, the declared strategies to be ranked among the business strategies according to literary research, and to verify the actual fulfillment of the declared strategies of the selected breweries. The verification took place in terms of price level, method and level of distribution. Two breweries operating in the territory of the Czech Republic, in the Pardubice region, were selected for the survey. It was the Municipal Brewery in Polička, a.s. and the Brewery Rychtář, a.s., Hlinsko v Čechách. It was targeted at the management of breweries. Qualitative methods were used to collect data, including qualitative interviewing with the above-mentioned research sample, texts and documents, and field research supplemented by web pages. Subsequently, obtained data was analyzed, interpreted and evaluated. On the basis of the stated goal, the declared strategy of selected breweries was established. According to the literary research, Porter's generic strategies have been used as a type of strategy used in all the selected literature to incorporate the strategy of breweries. The declared strategy of breweries was tended to a differentiation strategy aimed at a wide range of customers. Subsequently, the real fulfillment of the declared business strategy of each brewery was verified. It was found that the declared strategy was largely in agreement with its fulfillment, for both selected breweries. There were no significant differences for each brewery. The benefit of this work was mainly focused on the management of selected breweries, who did not think about their strategies in this way.
