Abstract
This paper contains a three year strategic management proposal to Starbucks’ board of
directors. The proposal contains, my company’s back ground information, examples of
previous projects, samples of current projects, and future projected earnings. My proposal
includes brief detailed information on the committed staff working for WillandSteph
Incorporated. You will see the dedication they can provide for the Starbucks Corporation.
This proposal will open your eyes to the limitless possibilities there are for Starbucks. It
will show you that taking risks and making changes is a good thing. I’ve taken the facts
that I know about the Starbucks Corporation and used them to create a plan that is
consumer friendly, health conscious, environmentally friendly, and a sound investment.
Please allow me to open up your imaginations to how my company, WillandSteph
Incorporate, can move forward in the future with the Starbucks Corporation.
