I think that Starbucks should serve some type of lunch. They already serve muffins, coffee cake, bagels and some breakfast sandwiches. I do believe they already do a lot from there signature drinks and great atmosphere they provide. But making at lease 5 types of lunch sandwiches would not hurt the company. I think that their profits would go up a little more and would gain even more customer's that are willing to spend more time in the stores. This would make customer’s then spend more money on coffee and stay longer.
When the company began to experience financial problems, should the leadership try to centralize power and decision-making or decentralize the operation?
I believe that Starbucks should try to centralize power and decision-making on the company. They have so many people that are fans and buy their coffee everyday. They would just need to sit down with someone and talk out their financial problems. No need to close the business down. They can gain trust and profit back by adjusting prices and bring out new products.
