Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, course: International Entrepreneurship, language: English, abstract: 1971, when the ‘Starbucks experience’ begun, Starbucks was just a small coffee shop in Seattle, USA. Today, Starbucks, named after the first mate in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, is the world’s leading retailer, roaster and brand of specialty coffee with millions of customer visits per week at stores in North America, Europe, Middle East, Latin America and the Pacific Rim. Thus,within not more than three decades, Starbucks’ offering of distinctive blend of quality coffee, neighbourly camaraderie and a unique coffeehouse culture combined with an aggressive growth strategy helped it to become the most famous specialty coffee shop chain in the world and a global company: In 2007, it run more than 15,000 stores worldwide by employing more than 172,000 people. But in the same year 2007 - despite revenues of USD 9.4 billion - Starbucks had to report a first-ever decline in same-store sales. As early as the mid-1990s, analysts had been predicting that Starbucks could not sustain such strong growth, especially in same-store sales. For more than 10 years, Starbucks had consistently beaten these expectations. By 2007, however, Starbucks unprecedented size, combined with the uncertainty of the economy,had placed the company in a new competitive game. As a result, in early 2008, Starbucks announced a series of initiatives to cope with the new challenges and to prepare for a successful future – all of them based on renewing the focus on customer experience and slowing down expansion. But what constitutes the Starbucks strategy that has been that successful in the past? What were the main drives of the considerably growth of the Starbucks business? And is the Starbucks strategy flexible enough to adapt to the current challenging market conditions? After the introduction of the Starbucks business in terms of vision, mission and history, this assignment focuses on answering these questions by analysing Starbucks’ strategy and its key drivers of success in chapter 2. This analysis is done with the model of the ‘strategic diamond’ that is introduced in the beginning of chapter 2 as working basis. The assignment ends a comprehensive analysis of the challenges Starbucks is facing today and how it prepares to successful handle them.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1 (A), Lappeenranta University of Technology, course: IBTM program WS 2004, language: English, abstract: Starbucks Corporation was founded in 1985 by Howard Schultz. The origins of Starbucks reach back to 1971, when the Starbucks Coffee Company was founded by three students in Seattle. These students, Gerald Baldwin, Gordon Bowker and Zev Siegl love coffee and tea. And this was the only reason why the set up the Starbucks Coffee Company. They just want to bring the best coffee in the world to Seattle. This time Starbucks only sold the coffee beans and the according coffee machines and mills. In the first ten years four more stores were set up. Howard Schultz, who was working in a Swedish house ware company this time, recognized the development and increasing demand of coffee mills of Starbucks. Infected by his interest in this company he started his research in Starbucks. He often went to Seattle and always met the founders of Starbucks, trying to convince them to employ him. Howard Schultz, who had no idea about coffee, but a lot of knowledge about selling, stayed very obstinate and so finally in middle of 1982 he became a manager at Starbucks. Since he joined the company he started to learn as much about coffee as he could. Inspired from the Italian coffee culture, which he got know during a visit in Milan, he wanted to introduce a coffee bar culture in the United States. After disagreements with his partners he decided to set up his own business. So, in 1985 he opened his first coffee bar in Seattle – Il Giornale. To get the capital he needed he spoke to 242 investors. 217 declined, but the others gave him the money to win the competition together with Starbucks. In 1987 he could purchase the Starbucks Coffee Company and most important the brand name that he used for all his stores, as Starbucks was a more familiar brand to the Americans. When he acquired Starbucks for US-$ 3.8 million the company had already 11 stores and about 100 employees. He kept almost all the employees because he also wanted to make Starbucks become a social company. So, he also paid more than the minimum wage, cares for good health insurances and even offered stock options to part-time employees. So it was no surprise that Starbucks had the lowest fluctuation rate among the restaurant and fast food business sector. But today also some ex-employees mention that the good and social image of Starbucks is a fallacy, as there are long working hours and not many chances to be promoted.

Book excerpt: We all love the fairy tales we grew up on, creating a world in which good always wins over evil, where those whose hearts are true and who do the right thing come out on top. But, grown-up competition for success is rough, even cutthroat, and we've often heard that nice guys finish last. Not according to Howard Behar, whose career as one of the three leaders who built the Starbucks organization most definitely proves that nice guys finish first. In THE MAGIC CUP, Behar spins an engaging corporate tale to teach us exactly how we can do the same thing. The story revolves around Vince Steadfast, the newly named CEO of imaginary manufacturer Verity Glassworks, which has fallen on difficult times. Vince is hired to help the once iconic company return to its glory days, and he brings with him a parting gift from his mentor and former boss: a stunning crystal coffee cup from Verity's halcyon days. The cup turns out to be magic - truly - and helps him come to understand and reinvigorate the values that Verity has misplaced along the way. As Vince and his new team make their way to (and through) many challenges, including the aptly named Worthy Way, Perilous Passage and Arduous Stair, the cup fills with a gold elixir and the universal truths that they learn to embrace - such as Responsibility, Forgiveness and Courage - magically become engraved in the glass. In the tradition of great parable writers throughout history, Behar quickly involves us in an engrossing fantasy, continually challenging us to compare each situation with our own real-life experiences. The story of THE MAGIC CUP helps each of us discover that only by acting on sound moral principles can we fill our own cups with the personal and professional success and satisfaction we seek.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO MANAGING AND LEADING COMPANIES THAT COMPETE INTERNATIONALLY Drawing on the course material developed at the Harvard Business School and Yale School of Management by David Collis, International Strategy provides theoretical insight and pragmatic tools that address the decisions facing senior managers in multinational corporations. International Strategy explores the critical differences between domestic and international competition: the heterogeneity of markets in which companies are involved; the volatility of economic conditions that firms face; and the increased scale of activities fostered by global participation. The text examines how these phenomena create tensions and tradeoffs for executives concerning which product to offer around the world, which countries to compete in, where to locate various activities, and how to organize the firm worldwide. Making those choices in an integrated fashion, it is explained, requires pursuit of a coherent strategy that builds an international advantage. Filled with illustrative examples from a wide range of international companies, International Strategy, offers an accessible guide to help managers navigate the myriad decisions they must make in order to create value from their foreign operations and outperform competitors in an increasingly integrated world.
