...Starbucks and the Lifecycle of Specialty Coffee: An Industry Evolving Introduction Today we stand witness to a new coffee era, one made up of Caffé Lattes, Espresso Macchiatos, Cappuccinos and Frappuccinos. Specialty Coffee is here to stay and no one will be more eager to tell you that than Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, the world’s largest specialty coffee bar. The study of Starbucks Corporation leads one on a multifaceted journey through an organization’s insinuation into a culture, its dominance of a market and its creation of a brand synonymous with loyalty, integrity and longevity. Understanding Starbucks’ development into an international giant and the strategic approach they took to get there begins with the origins of coffee itself. Ever since it first spread through the Moslem world in the sixteenth century, coffee has played a pivotal role in society by providing meeting places for intellectuals from all sides of life to converge. As coffee was slowly introduced to the European world it was recognized for both its sociability and its taste. Soon Coffee houses were prevalent throughout Europe and were the natural locations for political, literary and societal debate. It crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the mid-seventeenth century and replaced beer as New York City’s favorite morning drink. It can be said that the Boston Tea Party was the beginning of not one but two major revolutions in America. The first was the revolt of the colonists against England...

Starbucks was on a steady course and had its stock price on the rise until the year 2006. (lähde haastattelu) The global financial crisis hit the coffee giant relatively harder than other companies in the business sector (lähde annual report 2010). In early 2008, due to the poor performance of Starbucks, Howard Schultz felt compelled to return in to the CEO’s position, as Schultz mentioned in his interview for Harvard Business Report in 2010 “The leadership had failed the 180,000 Starbucks people and their families.” (lähde haastattelu). The global financial crisis in itself does not explain the poor performance of Starbucks, stock prices dropped below the NASDAQ index. Poor decision making in strategy and management caused the company to fall into a deeper crisis. Changes in consumer behavior that were caused by the global financial crisis came suddenly, and Starbucks did not adjust in such manners...

... Executive Summary Starbucks Corporation has arguably been the most successful coffee chain in the past few decades, using their aggressive expansion strategies to push out much of its competition. Through its expansion, Starbucks has focused on creating a dense network of stores all around America, while also opening up new locations all around the world. By leading the retail coffee market, Starbucks is able to sell its coffee for a premium price and increase their profitability. Its success can be seen in the gradual rise of its stock prices from 1992 – 2007, reaching almost 6000% of their initial public offering 1 . Yet, in the recent year, the market has shown Starbucks to be in constant decline, as their stock has dropped about $15/share, a value they have been above since 2004. Also, looking at Starbucks’ SEC filings, we can see that its comparable store sales have decreased significantly in US markets since 2004. This has prompted Team Macchiato to evaluate Starbucks’ current strategies in addition to the retail coffee market as a whole. To evaluate the problem, one of the biggest questions to consider is to what extent is the “designer coffee” market just a fad. In other words, will the allure of gourmet Starbucks coffee be maintained or will more appealing options threaten the success of Starbucks’ primary product? If the designer coffee market is indeed a fad industry, we need to evaluate Starbucks’ possible options to avoid further decline. ...

The decline in sales has had a huge impact on the company revenue and production. Sales from stores have dropped drastically in the last couple years. Many would say that the countries financial crisis has made people think twice before purchasing a high priced coffee. The fact that Starbuck competitors may have a better deal in price has also played a part in their decline in sales. Starbucks’ biggest potential competitors are the fast-food leading corporations like McDonald and KFC. Both of them have the economic scale as they opened up stores in all over the world and had much more distribution centers. It is easy for them to launch into the coffee industry...
