Starbucks: A Story of Growth - case study presentation for EBS/DBSBrandon J. Murray, PMP
For entry into the EBS European Business School / DBS Durham University Business School - dual Executive MBA programme, I was asked to analyze a case study from Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. I then had to write a handful of essays and give a 1-hour presentation consisting of 30 min of briefing and 30 min of Q/A from the EBS faculty audience.
Starbucks Corporation is known world-wide for their specialty coffee innovation and creative business design. Over time Starbucks has built a business around a relaxing, somewhat romantic atmosphere that brings to the customer a European feel and thus provides a strong user experience for its customers. In Starbucks’ earliest days, coffee consumption in the United States (US) was considered nothing special. Most US coffee offered a similar taste and wasn’t offered in a special “European” environment. With this absence of uniqueness, convenience was the dominant criteria used by US consumers to choose their coffee.
Enter Starbucks.
An interesting analysis of Starbucks's SWOT, 4Ps, Strategy, Marketing, Finance etc. Hope you will enjoy this presentation. Go through the slides and don't forget to hit like and share buttons. All the best.

Customer Success Best Practices for SaaS Retention: Metrics and KSFs for Building a High Performing Customer Success Team
Insight Venture Partners and Gainsight presented a webinar on customer success best practices for SaaS retention, including the crucial metrics and Knowledge and Skills Frameworks (KSFs) for building a high performing Customer Success team.
The most successful Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue only through new customer acquisition is the less efficient way to scale. Rather, they understand that growing revenue within your existing customer base - through up-sells, cross-sells, and expanded use - is the most profitable way to scale.
In fact, Enterprise SaaS companies that grow revenue - and company valuation - by expanding revenue within their existing customer base also know the key to making this work is to focus on - and operationalize - Customer Success.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Customer Satisfaction
BottomLine
Starbucks: Delivering Customer Service
Starbucks Case Study Summary
Due to rapid expansion and increasing service time there is a decrease in customer service and
customer satisfaction. This has impacted the bottom line of Starbucks. There are internal conflicts
between Christine Day, Senior Vice President of Administration and Howard Schultz, Orin Smith the
CEO of Starbucks and the CFO where Day wants to focus on customer service and customer
satisfaction and the rest want to focus only on the bottom line.
To enhance customer experience, Day has asked for an additional $ 40 million in order to relax the
labour hour controls in the stores to add an additional 20 hours of labour per week per store.
Key Issue
While focusing on brand and building new products, Starbucks started losing sight of its customer.
The challenge for Day is to prove that Customer Satisfaction is directly proportional to Bottom Line.
Objective
Hence, one needs to either improve Customer Satisfaction to improve the Bottom Line or to improve
the Bottom Line and invest the profits to increase Customer Satisfaction.

Values
Our Coffee
It has always been, and will always be, about quality. We’re passionate about ethically sourcing the finest
coffee beans, roasting them with great care, and improving the lives of people who grow them. We care deeply
about all of this; our work is never done
Our Partners
We’re called partners, because it’s not just a job, it’s our passion. Together, we embrace diversity to create a
place where each of us can be ourselves. We always treat each other with respect and dignity. And we hold
each other to that standard.
Our Customers
When we are fully engaged, we connect with, laugh with, and uplift the lives of our customers – even if just for
a few moments. Sure, it starts with the promise of a perfectly made beverage, but our work goes far beyond
that. It’s really about human connection.
Our Stores
When our customers feel this sense of belonging, our stores become a haven, a break from the worries
outside, a place where you can meet with friends. It’s about enjoyment at the speed of life – sometimes slow
and savored, sometimes faster. Always full of humanity.
Our Neighborhood
Every store is part of a community, and we take our responsibility to be good neighbors seriously. We want to
be invited in wherever we do business. We can be a force for positive action – bringing together our partners,
customers, and the community to contribute every day. Now we see that our responsibility – and our potential
for good – is even larger. The world is looking to Starbucks to set the new standard, yet again. We will lead.
Our Shareholders
We know that as we deliver in each of these areas, we enjoy the kind of success that rewards our
shareholders. We are fully accountable to get each of these elements right so that Starbucks – and everyone
it touches – can endure and thrive.

SWOT
Below is the internal analysis (Strengths and Weakness) and external analysis (Opportunities and
Threats).
Expansion & Total Stores
Starbucks adopted aggressive growth strategy in order to be the most recognized and respected
brand. It comprised of:
1. Retail Expansion
Too many stores within
North America reduced the
exclusivity of Starbucks and
hence minimised the wow
factor of the brand.
Also, it led to one store
cannibalising the other
store within the same
locality
2. Product Innovation
While focusing on product innovation, Starbucks ignored customer satisfaction and
customer experience.
Customers
The idea of Starbucks is to provide customers a “Third Place” after home and work.
STRENGTHS:
1. Large Market Share
2. Good Brand name
3. Trusted Brand
4. Quality , accessibility, convenience and
consistent
WEAKNESS:
1. Gap between customer expectations and 2.
Starbucks delivery
3. Low customer satisfaction not getting
compensated by premium prices
4. Delayed sevice
5. Lack of customerfriendliness and attentiveness
THREATS:
1. Increasing number of competitors
2. Increasing number of substitutes and
alternatives
OPPORTUNITIES:
1. Global market expansion
2. Increasing market size

Product Quality is not consistent and Average Wait Time is reducing.

Starbucks claims good
quality coffee and it
delivers it well; in case
of failure to deliver,
replaces with a new
coffee

Customer Pyramid
Kano’s Model
•Coffee drinkers pull more footfall by creating a Buz
and either get along new customers or suggest to new
customers
•Consumers once convinced about the
coffee will tend to be loyal
•Even though the switching
cost of coffee is low,
consumers once attached to
coffee products and service
are loyal
Basic features:
1. Coffee
2. Side snacks items
3. Good coffee shop ambience
Performance is not consistent. Mixed
feedback from consumers; Not all users
experience the same effect from the service
Excitement is the aspirational awe effect which the consumer
perceives after availing the service. But because of mixed feedback
for satisfaction, this excitement is getting reduced
