Starbucks Coffee Company: Transformation and Renewal

• Format: Print
• | Language: English
• | Pages: 71

Starbucks Coffee Company: Transformation and Renewal analyzes the turnaround and reconstruction of Starbucks Coffee Company from 2008 to 2014 as led by CEO and co-founder Howard Schultz. The case offers executives and students an opportunity to examine in depth how Schultz and his team saved Starbucks from near-collapse, by both executing a deep, comprehensive return to its core values and, at the same time, investing in a range of new products, customer experiences and organizational capabilities designed to make the company fit for enduring success in a turbulent global economy. Set against the backdrop of the Great Recession, the case also considers the impact of unprecedented important shifts in consumer spending and confidence as well as new competitive forces on Starbucks' transformation. The case concludes by examining Schultz's own leadership journey, the lessons he learned personally during Starbucks transformation, and how he is using these lessons—within Starbucks and on the national stage—to redefine the roles and responsibilities of a public corporation in the 21st century.

Based on extensive interviews conducted with Schultz and other Starbucks executives from 2011 to 2014, the case offers a range of vital lessons on leadership, organizational transformation, restructuring, strategy, innovation, entrepreneurial vision, and customer service.

Part of the book series: Applying Quality of Life Research ((BEPR))

This case study explores Starbucks’ social marketing campaign through a corporate activism strategy. Our aim is to gain a perspective of this problem based on the quality of life theory. This led to our study of Starbucks’ social activism campaign for the hiring of 10,000 Syrian refugees in the US between 2017 and 2022 with three basic objectives in mind: (i) help one of the most vulnerable groups in the context of wars and terrorism, giving them a second chance to rebuild their lives and that of their families, (ii) materialise their social commitment in those areas where the company operates, and (iii), from a social marketing perspective, contribute to the change of attitude of citizens towards this group in particular.

Starbucks’ economic indicators, as well as the social, economic and demographic conditions in the United States with respect to refugees, are shown for this case study and analysis. So far, the campaign has managed to recruit 2100 refugees (data updated to December 2019), from 12 different countries, in its establishments in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Finally, readers are invited to reflect on whether the arrival of Syrian refugees in the US can have a positive impact on the quality of life for the nation and for Starbucks workers.

Teaching Notes

This case study was written for a 60-90 minute discussion. In most cases it might be more helpful to divide the students into small groups so that they can discuss among themselves and come up with alternative solutions. Students should read the case study before class without answering the questions raised. If the teacher does not have enough time, the questions can be assigned well in advance, making it clear that the analysis needs to be completed before coming to class, possibly requiring parts of it to be submitted individually. Later in class, and regardless of the method chosen, the session will develop in the same way. Different aspects of this case study can be highlighted depending on the type and characteristics of the course.

Suggested Calendar

First part. 30 minutes: introduction

In addition to clarifying the elements of the case study analysis and the central idea of social marketing strategies, reference is also made to other concepts. The teacher can invite the students to comment on their vision of immigration, in particular of refugees. Then the teacher can explain the different types of activism and ask the students for real examples.

Second part. 45 minutes: analysis

The students are organised into groups and must answer the questions (reread the case study if necessary). The teacher can go through and solve the discussion questions in order, or choose those that best suit the course and their learning objectives. Discussion questions help students think about the key issues raised by the case study. Discussion questions help students think about the key issues raised by the case study. In relation to the questions posed, the answers should be similar to the following:

Do you think the perception, attitude or behaviour of Starbucks customers and employees has changed or can change with regard to Syrian refugees?

Students’ reflections should refer to what social marketing can do to change the behaviour of North American society, considering the influence of a company like Starbucks. Students are expected to comment and discuss these and other aspects: (i) Educating consumers or employees about the positive influence of immigration; (ii) Developing a social movement for the integration of immigrants into the labour market; and/or (iii) Convincing the government to change the immigration policy.

Look for other social marketing campaigns and compare them to the Starbucks campaign (message, target audience, success, influence on quality of life).

Students must be clear about the topics that social marketing addresses to find other campaigns (smoking, obesity, diseases, social problems, etc.).

Do you see Starbucks corporate activism as opportunist? Justify your answer.

Students must identify the differences between an opportunistic strategy and the development of a long-term activist strategy, which is related to stakeholder values. To do this, they must start by defining corporate activism (sect. 1.1) and applying the CADM matrix (sect. 2.4) to justify Starbucks’ activist strategy as non-opportunistic.

Do you think that the Starbucks campaign improves the quality of life of employees, customers and investors? How?

Arguments in favour must be based on increased productivity, satisfaction, loyalty, efficiency, etc. using data in sect. 2.3 of this chapter. The arguments against must gravitate around the possibilities of a boycott suffered by the company, the reduction of its reputation by stakeholders contrary to the position of Starbucks, or the CEO’s own declaration as an action of personality without using the concept of political and/or social activism (sect. 2.2).

Third part. 15 minutes: close

The summary discussion should focus on what Starbucks has done so far and what the organisation faces in the future, as well as key quality of life indicators. The teacher could ask other questions for a final discussion: What specific steps should Starbucks take next? How can Starbucks inspire other companies to innovate in activism? Do you think Starbucks is likely to try and launch new social marketing campaigns?

Starbucks Case Study - How Starbucks Conquered The Coffee Industry?

Devashish Shrivastava

Starbucks Corporation is an American coffee chain that was established in 1971 in Seattle, Washington. By mid-2019, the organization had a presence in over 30,000 areas around the world. Starbucks has been depicted as the fundamental delegate of "second wave espresso," a reflectively-named development that advanced high-quality espresso and specially simmered coffee. Starbucks now uses robotized coffee machines for proficiency and well-being.

Starbucks serves hot and cold beverages, entire bean espresso, micro-ground moment espresso known as VIA, coffee, caffe latte, full-and free leaf teas such as Teavana tea products, Evolution Fresh squeezes, Frappuccino refreshments, La Boulange baked goods, and bites (for example, chips and wafers); some offerings such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte are explicit to the territory of the store. Numerous Starbucks outlets sell pre-bundled nourishment items, sweltering and cold sandwiches, and drinkware such as cups and tumblers. Furthermore, there are Select "Starbucks Evenings" areas that offer brew, wine, and appetizers.

Starbucks first ended up productive in Seattle in the mid-1980s. Despite an underlying financial downturn with its venture into the Midwest and British Columbia in the late 1980s, the organization experienced rejuvenated success with its entrance into California in the mid-1990s. Starbucks opened an average of two new stores every day between 1987 and 2007. On December 1, 2016, Howard Schultz reported he would leave his position as the CEO and would be supplanted by Kevin Johnson. Johnson accepted the role of the CEO of Starbucks on April 3, 2017, and Howard Schultz resigned to end up as the 'Chairman Emeritus', effective from June 26, 2018. Kevin Johnson is currently serving as the CEO and President of Starbucks.

Startup Story Of Starbucks Corporation

If you are wondering how did Starbucks start? Then, the story of Starbucks started back in 1971, when the company was a roaster and retailer of whole bean and ground coffee, tea and spices with a single store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

Zev Siegel stated that at that time he knew the coffee industry inside and out, he was well-versed, especially with the gourmet end of the industry. Besides, he was also known as the most educated coffee guy in the country at that time. So, the three college friends - Zev Siegel, Jerry Baldwin and Gordon, started out with their coffee bean shop and roastery at Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market in 1971. Eventually, they found a mentor in Alfred Peet, who was the founder of Peet’s Coffee and the man responsible for bringing custom coffee roasting to the U.S. and started with the coffee business in full swing. Starbucks initially began by selling coffee beans that were roasted by Peet's, a gourmet coffee company in Berkeley, California, and later on, started roasting on their own.

History Of Starbucks Corporation

The first Starbucks store was initiated in 1971 in Washington by 3 individuals who met while they were studying at the University of San Francisco: English educator Hun Baldwin, history educator Zev Siegl, and author Gordon Bowker. The trio was encouraged to sell top-notch espresso beans and hardware after businessman Alfred Peet showed them his style of simmering beans.

During this time, the organization sold simmered, entire espresso beans. During its first year of activity, Starbucks bought green espresso beans from Peet's, and then started purchasing legitimately from producers.

Starbucks - Name and Logo

Bowker reviews that Terry Heckler, with whom Bowker claimed a publicizing office, thought words starting with "st" were ground-breaking. The organizers conceptualized a rundown of words starting with "st" and in the long run arrived on "Strabo," a mining town in the Cascade Range. The team then finalized on "Starbuck," the name of the young chief mate in the book "Moby-Dick".

Starbucks has given too many slogans/taglines already among which the most popular one is - " Brewed for those who love coffee".

Starbucks Expansion Journey

In 1984, the first proprietors of Starbucks, driven by Jerry Baldwin, acquired Peet's. During the 1980s, all-out offers of espresso in the US were falling. However, offers of strength espresso expanded, shaping 10% of the market in 1989; it stood at just 3% in terms of market share in 1983. By 1986, the organization worked six stores in Seattle and had just barely started to sell coffee.

In 1987, the first proprietors sold the Starbucks chain to the previous manager Howard Schultz, who rebranded his II Giornale espresso outlets as Starbucks and immediately extended. Starbucks then launched its outlets outside Seattle at Waterfront Station in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Chicago, Illinois. By 1989, 46 stores existed over the Northwest and Midwest, and every year Starbucks was simmering more than 2,000,000 pounds (907,185 kg) of coffee. At the hour of its first sale of stock (IPO) on the financial exchange in June 1992, Starbucks had 140 outlets with an income of $73.5 million, up from $1.3 million in 1987.

The organization's fairly estimated worth was $271 million at this point. The 12% segment of the organization that was sold raised around $25 million for the organization, which encouraged a multiplying of the number of stores throughout the following two years. By September 1992, Starbucks' offer cost had ascended by 70% to more than multiple times the income per portion of the past year. In July 2013, over 10% of in-store buys were made on the client's cell phones utilizing the Starbucks app.

The organization used the versatile social media stage when it propelled the "Tweet-a-Coffee" campaign in October 2013. People had the option to buy a $5 gift voucher for a companion by entering both "@tweetacoffee" and the companion's handle in a tweet. Research firm Keyhole observed the advancement of the event and a media article from December 2013 detailed that Starbucks had discovered that 27,000 individuals had taken an interest and $180,000 of buys were made to date.

As of 2018, Starbucks is positioned 132nd on the Fortune 500 rundown of the biggest United States organizations by revenue. In July 2019, Starbucks announced a "monetary second from last quarter total compensation of $1.37 billion, or $1.12 per share, up from $852.5 million, or 61 pennies for each offer, a year sooner." The organization's fairly estimated worth of $110.2 billion expanded by 41% in the middle of 2019. The income per share in quarter three was recorded at 78 pennies, considerably more than the estimate of 72 cents.

Starbucks Corporation in India

In January 2011, Starbucks Corporation and Tata Coffee reported designs to start opening Starbucks outlets in India. Despite a bogus beginning in 2007, in January 2012, Starbucks declared a 50:50 joint endeavour with Tata Global Beverages, called Tata Starbucks Ltd. , which would possess and work outlets marked "Starbucks, A Tata Alliance". Starbucks had endeavoured to enter the Indian market in 2007. However, it didn't provide any explanation behind its withdrawal of it.

It was on October 19, 2012 that Starbucks opened its first store, a 4,500 sq ft store in Elphinstone Building, Horniman Circle, Mumbai. Starbucks opened its first cooking and bundling plant in Coorg, Karnataka in 2013 to supply its Indian outlets. The company extended its reach to Delhi on 24 January 2013 by opening 2 outlets. Tata Global Beverages declared in 2013 that they would have 50 areas before the end of the year, with a venture of ₹4 billion ($58 million). The organization did open its 50th store in India on July 8, 2014.

The third city of India to get a Starbucks outlet was Pune, where the organization opened an outlet at Koregaon Park on 8 September 2013. Starbucks opened a 3,000-square-foot lead store at Koramangala, Bangalore on 22 November 2013, making it the fourth city to have an outlet. Starbucks opened the biggest espresso-forward store in the nation at Vittal Mallya Road, Bangalore on 18 March 2019. The store is estimated at 3,000 sq ft and is Starbucks' 140th outlet in India.

Tata Starbucks opened 25 stores between 2017 and 2018, which went up to 30 during 2018-19. On 21 February 2019, CEO Navin Gurnaney reported that Tata Starbucks would use only compostable and recyclable bundling materials over the entirety of its stores from June 2020.

Starbucks reported its entrance in Gujarat on 7 August 2019. The organization opened five stores in Surat and Ahmedabad the following day. Starbucks' leader store in the state is situated at Prahlad Nagar, Ahmedabad, and offers more vegan alternatives than other Indian outlets. CEO Navin Gurnaney expressed that the organization would open more than 30 stores in the 2019-20 financial year, of which 11 have already been opened.

Business Strategy Of Starbucks In India

Starbucks' strategies for business in India seemed rock-solid but the brand wasn't completely immune still. In any case, the world's biggest bistro chain is building its position cautiously via a progression of well-picked steps. Numerous worldwide brands have entered India since the 1990s, being pulled in by its developing and optimistic customer base. Yet, not all have succeeded.

Starbucks isn't the primary contestant in India's composed espresso showcase; so it doesn't have any first-participant advantage. Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) is the market head while Barista Lavazza was the main espresso chain to open for business. Both are valued by the white-collar class. Costa Coffee, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (CBTL), and Gloria Jean are valued by the rich group in India.

India is customarily a tea-drinking nation, so espresso chains have concentrated on giving a feel where individuals can unwind and invest energy with one another. This setup implies higher capital expenses. It is different from the US, where the vast majority have a liking for espresso. The Indian buyer base has likewise advanced in the recent decade. What can worldwide brands like Starbucks do to augment their odds of achievement in India? Here are a few thoughts:

Picking a Local Partner

Worldwide brands face the difficult choice of either going solo or tying up with a nearby accomplice. Starbucks' choice to team up with India's TATA Global Beverages demonstrates attention to utilizing different advantages. The TATA Group is one of India's morally determined brands, an observation passed on about Starbucks India too.

Given that India produces espresso beans in just a couple of spots, the other sourcing alternative was bringing in the beans. Be that as it may, this would have raised costs fundamentally.

Tata's espresso plant in Karnataka has been contracted to supply beans to Starbucks' universally, making common cooperative energies. It has contracted to take into account TATA's TAJ SATS, which supplies to TATA's top-notch lodging network – The TAJ. The TATAs are put into the retail part with store brands like Westside, Tanishq, Croma, Star Bazaar, and so forth. Starbucks can use them for information sharing on Indian land, territory points of interest, and handling land administrations. This would enable its very own development to outline. This strategy gives scope for store-in-store deals.

Consistency in Store Arrangements

This keeps up the one-of-a-kind selling purpose of customer experience and allows to pick up economies of scale on CAPEX. Starbucks plans to have a similar store group crosswise over India. However, the size can change depending on financial matters. This is how it works all around. Starbucks wants to provide an agreeable 'café' experience. Having a similar organization gives clients the solace of accepting the equivalent 'Starbucks' vibe any place they go throughout the world.

Keeping the store designs steady means it needs to pick and open new areas stringently, to such an extent that the area can yield a throughput by the venture. Its methodology in-store arrangement is different from CCD, which has picked various configurations to tap the potential interest in any region. CCD has opened a couple of premium outlets dependent on the area's customer profile . It has additionally gone for non-store organizations like takeaway booths and candy machines. Be that as it may, Starbucks may expect that such non-store configurations may weaken its image esteem.

Estimating the Pace of Expansion

India is the place where an inability to screen primary concerns has tossed numerous organizations out of the rigging. So, a top-line just approach doesn't work here. Since Starbucks needs to pick new areas stringently by its equivalent configuration approach, it has decided on a deliberate pace of extension. It is concentrating on the budgetary feasibility of every outlet, as opposed to going for an aggressive development plan which may have brought about rehashed calls for capital.

This operational process is different from its system in the USA and China where it has fabricated scale by opening stores in pretty much every area – being the main port-of-call for espresso by basically being all over the place. CCD's methodology behind adaptable store organizations was to guarantee there is a CCD bistro at a simple reach. It is intriguing to check its normal store gainfulness given its scale.

Guaranteeing Top-Authority Backing and Responsibility

Top initiative responsibility from the two sides of the organization, Tata and Starbucks, has been plentifully clear. Starbucks took as much time as is needed to enter the market (6 years), recognizing that India was a mind-boggling market and required cautious passage arranging. The two sides have spoken finally about their dedication and shared their future plans to give their business a new direction toward growth.

Altering Contributions to Suit Indian Market and Client Needs

Being adjusted to Indian culture, tastes, and inclinations conveyed at a suitable "esteem" guarantees customer importance, construct, and continued utilization. Starbucks mirrors this comprehension – as observed through a blend of western staples, a wide scope of intriguing Indian tidbits similar to confined refreshments on the idea. Since its experience ( and item as well, however to a lesser degree) is its image guarantee, its test lies in conveying an all-around steady, yet locally significant brand experience.

The stores, or the "third spot" as Starbucks calls them, have been altered likewise. The stores don't pursue the worldwide layout and appear to have been planned with consideration, with neighbourhood contacts consolidated. Stores in various urban communities have been structured unexpectedly, mirroring the neighbourhood culture – for e.g., New Delhi's store has ropes and chat on the dividers and henna designs on the floor, though the Pune store has a rich showcase of collectables and copper.

There appears to be sufficient utilization of shading – something missing in the US. The stores have been intended to convey a particular, premium café experience, predictable, and in a state of harmony with the one conveyed over the rest of the world.

Making Inventive and Restricted Plan of Action

Starbucks appears to have made a confined plan of action, planned for conveying a universally reliable item and involvement with locally-focused costs. The Tata group conveys a major sourcing advantage (attributable to its quality over the generation chain, developing, broiling, and exchanging espresso), yet it has just gone past that to develop and support associations with nearby espresso cultivators – putting resources into structure economical cultivating rehearses. All of Starbucks' espresso is sourced locally, a first-ever for the organization.

Scaling up using Arrangements and Organizations

The Tata organization is the genuine overthrow in the Starbucks passage story. Having Tata as an accomplice is gigantically profitable, not due to the validity and strength it offers, or because it coordinates the scale and stature of Starbucks as an organization.

It offers numerous advantages catalyzing pretty much every market section achievement variable - for example, The Tata group has involvement in the retail business , a solid reputation in advancing new pursuits, gives a sourcing advantage through Tata espresso, offers access to high traffic areas using its lodgings and other retail outlets, guarantee excellent nourishment and refreshment supply through its F&B business and so forth.

Furthermore, the potential for an effective organization is amazingly high given Starbucks' and Tata's mutual qualities – the two of them have a solid social inner voice and are resolved to "give back" to the general public and network.

Influencing India for Worldwide Items

Not long after it finished its first year, Starbucks reported that it was serving top-quality Indian Arabica espresso as "Indian coffee" in different markets. Another world-class office for cooking and bundling has just been initiated in Coorg, Karnataka; the results of which are to be analyzed in India and abroad.

Overseeing Discernment and Guidelines

This viewpoint is tied in with structure, a solid positive observation and a picture for the business and brand crosswise over key outer partners and crowds – incorporating the administration, corporate accomplices, networks inside the eco-framework, and customers on the loose. Given what Starbucks has figured out how to accomplish in a year and a half since dispatch, it appears to be genuinely evident that its thought combined with the Tata advantage (critical reach and impact) has helped in developing solid connections and a positive picture with key outside partners and voting demographics.
