...develop a certain type of respect for the brand. The greater the respect the more profitable the company would be. It also helps their image, to care about the community and its environment. 2. Is Starbucks unique in being able to provide a high level of benefits to its employees? Yes, I think Starbucks is very unique in providing benefits to their employees. They have definitely set the bar high for other fast food companies. Not only do they offer health, dental, and vision but they also give their employees the opportunity to invest in stock. Starbucks believe that taking care of their employees is important to their success and as mentioned in the case the company has spent more money on providing healthcare then on coffee beans. 3. Do you think that Starbucks has grown rapidly because of its ethical and socially responsible activities or because it provides products and an environment that customers want? To be honest, I think it’s a mixture of both. Starbucks has put money back into the stake holder to defend their image and they are also creating a happy work environment by providing benefits to their employees that work 20+ hours per week. They are giving their employees what a lot of employees wish for and making them feels a part of the corporation. They’ve also created a laid back environment for their customers by offering free wifi and a place they can go to work or study. Every location is conveniently located by office buildings, bookstores, and...

...writing on your own; this is a practice that will enable you to bring your personal experiences with these works to our discussions in class and participate in an engaged way as part of our community of learning. But our community of learning is broader than the classroom—it also includes the community organizations you will be partnering with for your service-learning. We will be investigating and interrogating a versatile metaphor—cultivation—and how it impacts the cultures and communities in which we live. “Cultivation” leaves its trace on culture both linguistically in the morphology of the word and symbolically by informing the figures we use to talk about the establishment, maintenance and the dissolution of a culture -- as when a character in Shakespeare’s play Richard II refers to England as a “sea-walled garden” that is corrupt and “full of weeds, her fairest flowers choked up,...

...Key Learning from venture in Australia 12 Payoffs for various alternatives considered 13 Factors affecting decisions and their alternatives 13 Decisions to improve Customer Service 14 Customer Value and Premium Brands 15 References 18 Introduction The first Starbucks store was set up in 1971 by three individuals who had a common liking for coffee and exotic teas- Jerry Baldwin, History teacher Zev Seigel and writer Gordon Bowker. The store was named Starbucks Coffee, Tea and Spice in the tourist’s Pikes Place Market in Seattle. However, later the name was changed to Starbucks Coffee Company. The logo was designed to be a two tailed mermaid encircled by the store’s name. The name was inspired from the coffee loving character in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick The store was a success with excellent sales records and thus several Starbucks stores mushroomed in several parts of the US. Howard Schultz later joined the company as a marketing executive and then acquired it in 1987.In 1992 Starbucks went public and was successful in marketing a regular everyday product as something premium. As of now Starbucks with over 20000 stores has a worldwide presence in over 50 countries which is...

...verb) are also syntactic elements that require a reader’s attention. Syntax affects the pace of a piece. • Short, clipped phrases, sentences and clauses tend to create a feeling of quickness, decisiveness, and speed to a piece. It is important to be aware of the content of a piece and look for connections to syntax. Pay attention to how pacing relates to the action and purpose of a particular piece. • Long, convoluted sentences, especially with subordinate clauses at the beginning tend to slow the pace of a piece. Often they are connected to a contemplative section, a heavy or serious subject and the writer wants to emphasize it. Sometimes, however, they are placed in a piece for the purpose of demonstrating the ramblings of a character, the ludicrousness of an idea, or the ridiculousness of a situation. Watch for occasional satire or irony in these long sentences. Key Questions: • How does syntax contribute to and enhance the meaning and effect of language? • How does syntax contribute to tone? 1. “Syntax” refers to the ways words and phrases are arranged to form sentences. The reader must identify an author’s syntax and discuss the relationship it has to the content of the passage. Authors may use: a. specific patterns of phrases and sentences b. divisions within a piece with different syntax for each c. parallel structure d. different sentence types e. specific kinds of punctuation ...
