Starbucks began in 1971 in Seattle, Washington and has since expanded to over 20,000 stores globally. The company focuses on customer satisfaction and quality coffee beans. Starbucks offers hot and cold coffee beverages in different sizes, as well as food items. Stores have a consistent design globally and employees are trained to provide excellent customer service.
Starbucks began in 1971 as a roaster and retailer of coffee beans and related products with a single store in Seattle. It has since grown into a global brand with over 21,000 retail stores across 66 countries. Starbucks aims to inspire customers through high-quality coffee and a welcoming store environment. The company focuses on ethical sourcing of coffee beans and environmental sustainability while fostering community involvement. Starbucks strives to treat its employees, called partners, with respect by providing health benefits and company stock ownership.
The document outlines a market entry strategy framework comprised of four phases: market assessment, business case development, implementation roadmap, and go live. The market assessment phase involves research to understand regulations, customers, competitors, distribution channels, and the client's position. The business case development formalizes this to assess market attractiveness, ease of entry, potential partners, and ability to execute. The implementation roadmap establishes cooperation agreements and entry plans. The go live phase supports organizational structure and performance monitoring upon market entry.
Starbucks has achieved success through several factors:
1) Their unconventional marketing strategy focuses on high quality products and customer experience rather than traditional advertising.
2) Strategic expansion establishes hubs in major cities before expanding to surrounding areas, allowing them to quickly achieve market dominance.
3) While threats from competitors exist, Starbucks differentiates itself through its brand image and emphasis on consistency in customer experience across all stores.
