case 1.1 Starbucks: Going Global Fast
The Starbucks coffee shop on Sixth Avenue and Pine Street in downtown Seattle sits serene and orderly, as unremarkable as any other in the chain bought 15 years ago by entrepreneur Howard Schultz. A little less than three years ago, however, the quiet store-front made front pages around the world. During the World Trade Organization talks in November, 1999, protesters flooded Seattle’s streets, and among their targets was Starbucks, a symbol, to them, of

    In “The Lottery”, Shirley Jackson uses foreshadowing, symbolism, and irony throughout her story to show that death is imminent in the end. Not only do time and place bear important clues as to the allegorical meaning of “The Lottery” but the very names of the characters are laden with significance. What is more, it will be shown what an important role these literary devices play in this short story, enriching the meaning, transforming the cruel act of stoning, and the whole process leading to it into a depiction of relations between an individual and the community.…

    Language is a very amazing thing, It allows people to carry out day to day tasks and communicate with others. But, it can also reveal certain clues to a persons social class. In the play 'Romeo and Juliet' written by William Shakespeare in 1596, their is very descriptive and creative language used through out the play. This type of language can be analyzed for many different reasons but one of the major reasons is to reveal social classes of the characters in the play 'Romeo and Juliet'. The Capulet’s use of formal language when speaking to others in the play conveys that they have a very high social class in the time that this dramatic and theatrical play took place. The Nurse's use of freely spoken language to her employer's, the Capulet's provides an assumption that she has a middle social class within the Capulet household. The formal language of the Capulet's and the freely spoken language of the Nurse effectively conveys their high and middle social status.…

    The astounding growth and expansion of Starbucks is outlined, both on a global scale and within Australia. The focus then shifts to the abrupt closure of three-quarters of the Australian stores in mid 2008. Several reasons for these closures are described and examined, including that: Starbucks overestimated their points of differentiation and the perceived value of their supplementary services; their service standards declined; they ignored some golden rules of international marketing; they expanded too quickly and forced themselves upon an unwilling public; they entered late into a highly competitive market; they failed to communicate the brand; and their business model was unsustainable. Key lessons that may go beyond the specifics of the Starbucks case are the importance of: undertaking market research and taking note of it; thinking globally but acting locally; establishing a differential advantage and then striving to sustain it; not losing sight of what makes a brand successful in the first place; and the necessity of having a sustainable business model.
