The company is a household name that has been featured in television and movies and a brand that is sought after by countless celebrities. Although the company is the top retailer of coffee in the United States, Starbucks has shown a trend in sales since early 2009 that allude to the fall of the “great coffeehouse empire”. Because of this troubling news, executives at Starbucks have began to look deeper into the strengths and weakness of the organization and have tried to build courses of action that will help propel the chain back to the top of their market.…

    Regarding the tastiness of Starbucks, David P. Goldman strings together an unappetizing, lost report filled with useless information and overflowing bias. His article includes no relevant facts and oddly presents a poet’s giant quote about culture while somehow relating it to coffee. Goldman values his own loud opinions rather than the public’s and dumps cringe-worthy, biased rants onto his writing. He bluntly states the most sensitive issue in American culture revolves around coffee and continuously fires coffee-obsessed stereotypes on readers. Obviously, Goldman holds no professional voice as he childishly disses the drink-station. When describing Starbucks’ drinks, he utilizes crude adjectives to somehow demonize the beverages as he worships…

    While discussing about the business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) of any business organization, it is necessary to mention that although both the concepts might overlap each other as far as their operations are concerned, yet their goals remain the same for the organization. While ethics involve the individual actions within an organization, the CSR constitutes the organization’s performances and activities as a whole that have direct influence on its stakeholders, customers as well as on the environment. In the present times, organizations are found to have become more concerned about CSR and thus several measures can be found to be considered in this regard (Mullerat, 2010, p.48). The present study focuses on learning about the CSR activities of Starbucks Company and the different issues that the organization addresses.…
