10a the BIG question...

Read the Cadbury plc case study on page 179. Note that this case study was written before Cadbury was taken over by Kraft Food plc in 2010.

What was different about the way Cadbury grew in 1969 to how it grew in its first hundred and forty five years of trading?

    In 1969 Cadbury's decided to merge with Schwepps, which means they saved money by sharing a management, as they started sharing lorries, it allowed cadburys to diversify, and followed to take over other confectionary manafacturers.

  3. In the first few years cadburys moved location to a less poluted area called bourneville, it always had the welfare of employees at heart. But in more recent times (1969) cadburys mergered with the drinks company schweppes, this allowed them to save money. other brands later on join the cadbury shweppes brand.

  5. In the first 145 years Cadburys started off with a small tea shop, which then grew to be a factory outside of birmingham to look after the workers health. After that Cadburys merged with Schweppes, which allowed both businesses to save money but sharing a management team, other businesses joined the merged business but then in 2008 they Cadbury demerged and continued to sell its own products

    To help Cadburys expand they had used money that they had saved up by retaining profits so they were able to expand. They merged companys with schweppes as well, the merge allowed cadbury to diversify and also to save money by sharing managment teams. The businesses then also took over other business like Dr pepper. This again expanded there product range so they were able to sell more and revieving a higher turnover.

  8. Cadbury's grew in 1969 by merging with other confectionary companies, including Schweppes and Dr Pepper. This allowed them to share the costs for many factors of production and share a mangement team.
    In its first hundred and forty five years of trading, Cadbury's grew by earning enough profits as a small corner shop and eventually leaving its hometown of Birmingham to less polluted areas such as in Bourneville to build factories and worker villages and encouraged the positive treatment and conditions their employees had to work in.

  11. For the first 145 years the business started off in a small tea shop before moving to a large factory outside birmingham. After the move in about 1969 when the business merged with the soft drinks giant schweppes. This allowed both to save money and in May 2008 Cadbury schweppes demerged so they became two seperate companies.

  12. Cadbury have grown in a lot of ways since they started, and every year they have done something different. But 1969 stood oout from most years. First off they moved from their factory in Birmingham and moved a couple mileds out. They also mergted with companies such as 'Schweppes'.

  20. It is diiferent the way that Cadbury grew because in the younger years it was actually a tea and coffee shop, then he moved and set up a factory and workers village in bournville. Then he merged with the soft drinks giant, they then- shared lorries and distribution networks. Then other companies merged with Cadbury, which then allowed them too create more products to sell to the consumer.

    The difference about the way that cadbury's graw in 1969 then in the first hundred and forty five years was that in the first 50 years it was just a coffee shop then moved and set up a factory and then a workers factory at bourneville later on. But then in 1969 they merged both cadbury and schweppes to save money on management and lorries then in 2008 demerged.
