  • Schultz's Case Study: A Brief Background Of Starbucks

    1431 Words  | 3 Pages

    Starbucks is a worldwide company, known for is delicious brews of coffee and seasonal varieties of tasty drinks for any occasion. Starbucks opened with two main goals, sharing great coffee with friends and to help make the world a little better. It originated in the historic Pike Place Market of Seattle, Washington in 1971 by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker. The creation of Starbucks’ name came from the seafaring tradition of early coffee traders and the romance evoked from Moby Dick. At the time, this individual shop specialized in the towering quality of coffee over competitors and other brewing services enabling its growth to becoming the largest coffee chain in Washington with numerous locations. In the early 1980s, the current CEO Schultz saw an opportunity for growth in the niche market. After a trip to Italy he brought back the idea of a café style environment of leisure and social meetings to the United States we now see in Starbucks locations today. Schultz ultimately left Starbucks to open his own coffee shop, Il Giornale which turned out to be a tremendous success. Fast forward a year later, Schultz got wind that Starbucks was going to sell all their components of Starbucks including their stores and factories, he immediately acquired the funds to buy Starbucks and linked both operations. Within five years he was able to open more than 125 stores starting in New England, Boston, Chicago, and gradually entered California. He wanted Starbucks to be a franchise system based on the mission of telling the truth and emphasize the quality,

    As shown in the case, “[Starbucks] became a symbol of decadence, an association reinforced by McDonald’s misleading ads targeting Starbucks lattes that read, ‘Four bucks is dumb’” (Koehn, McNamara, Khan, Legris, 19). With the competitor like McDonald attacked on the price of the its drinks, Starbucks was affected because McDonald sold its drinks in a cheaper price compared to Starbucks’. Because the ad that McDonald released conveyed customers’ negative perception about Starbucks’ drinks, Starbucks overcame this challenge by retraining its baristas and store managers. According to the authors, “baristas and store managers are the true ambassadors of our brand, the real merchants of romance and theater, and as such the primary catalysts for delighting customers” (Koehn, McNamara, Khan, Legris, 20). By focusing on training the staff, Starbucks could differentiate itself from McDonald’s products when it comes to positive customer experience and the quality of the drink instead of the
