Scientific Study from the year 2004 in the subject Sport - Sport Economics, Sport Management, grade: High Distinction, University of Technology, Sydney (School of Leisure, Sport and Tourism), course: Sports Marketing, 28 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Beer and sports are undisputably two of the most vividly discussed topics in international business. Determining a possible market entry strategy for one of the world's leading breweries in the internationally neglected and extremely fragmented German beer market is therefore an interesting and challenging task.

Secondly, the main characteristics of Heineken's market approach, its core strategy, the main target group and positioning are analysed. The central part of this paper discusses a market entry via sport sponsoring as well as potential 'Bundesliga-partners'.
