Abstract:In 1969 the Zambian government took over the operations of the Northern Breweries, the former Ndola Brewery, and renamed the organization Zambia Breweries Limited in June, 1970. This article assesses the performance of Zambia Breweries, particularly with regard to the development of local technological capabilities. The areas investigated include organization and management, product mix and marketing, production technology/techniques and raw materials, finance and investment decisions, management development and training, and research and development. This investigation shows that the most pressing problem at the moment is the over-reliance on ad hoc service and/or technical contracts with foreign-based companies. Ref.
