•  No comment. pre merger, question 1 Before BRL and Hardy’s merger they were considered rivals with different point of views in their strategic process to the wine industry that led them each to have a different organization overall. Hardy was known for its polite and traditional approach with award winning quality wine and BRL’s approach was focused on an aggressive and commercial culture that followed its fortified, bulk, and value wines.
• Hardy started out strong, a family owned business that gained recognition and respect as beginning the largest winemaker in Australia. In 1882 Hardy won his first international gold medal at Boudreaux. Hardy’s goal was to manage a team with marketing expertise, brands and winemaking know-how. They were focusing on global external brand awareness. On the other hand, BRL was on a commercial exporting level considered “the oil refinery of the wine industry”. BRL was following Hardy’s path of being the second “largest crush in Australia”.
• In 1916 BRL was the first cooperative winery, with 130 Italian grape growers. BRL’s success came in 1980’s when it started to sell its bulk wines aboard mainly in Scandinavia. BRL had access to fruits, funds, and disciplined management. Because of BRL and Hardy’s power status in the wine market, their goals they had in mind and financial problems among the companies. They thought it would be a good idea to merge and hopefully give them the ability to upgrade their business and encounter new opportunities.
• The pre conditions of both companies are one of the reasons that allowed BRL Hardy to thrive in their post merger success. Item  Hardy  BRL page 2 / 3 Intgrativecasestudy
