Final answer:
The sequence of Anheuser-Busch's encounters in Japan includes a joint venture with Kirin, creating a subsidiary, partnering with Sapporo, and introducing Budweiser, but does not include acquiring a majority stake in Asahi Breweries.
Step-by-step explanation:
When examining the international business strategies of Anheuser-Busch, particularly in Japan, a series of ventures and strategies can be observed. However, for the sequence given in the student's query, one event does not fit the historical actions taken by Anheuser-Busch. The activities they engaged in were entering into a joint venture with Kirin Brewery, establishing a wholly-owned subsidiary called Anheuser-Busch International, Inc., partnering with Sapporo Breweries to distribute Budweiser, and introducing Budweiser as an imported premium beer in the Japanese market.
The experience that does not fit into this sequence is acquiring a majority stake in Asahi Breweries, as Anheuser-Busch has not reported such an acquisition in its corporate history with Asahi or any other Japanese brewery. Instead, Anheuser-Busch has generally preferred strategic partnerships, joint ventures, and subsidiary formations as a means of entering and expanding within the Japanese market.
