Part One:
A)
1. What does the organization do?
Starbucks Corporation is an American global coffee company and coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Washington. Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, with 20,891 stores in 62 countries. Starbucks locations serve hot and cold beverages, whole-bean coffee, micro ground instant coffee, full-leaf teas, pastries, and snacks. Most stores also sell packaged food items, hot and cold sandwiches, and items such as mugs and tumblers. Starbucks Evenings locations also offer a variety of beers, wines, and appetizers after 4pm. Through the Starbucks Entertainment division and Hear Music brand, the company also markets books, music, and film. Many of the company's products are seasonal or specific to the locality of the store. Starbucks-brand ice cream and coffee are also offered at grocery stores.
2. What is the current organization design?
The structure of the Starbucks Corporation is not an uncommon one. Starbucks executives oversee the company from its headquarters in the city of its birth, Seattle, Washington. Around the country, district managers oversee regional groupings of stores. These district managers report directly to the Starbucks Corporation. At each store, a store manager acts as the chief. Under this store manager are a collection of shift supervisors who act as managers on duty when the store manager is out. Below the shift supervisors are the rest of the employees, referred to as baristas.
