2. Describe the various spirits.
Nonalcoholic Beverages
Nonalcoholic beverages are increasing in popularity. In the 1990s and 2000s, a radical shift has occurred from the free love 1960s and the singles bars of the 1970s and early 1980s. People are, in general, more cautious about the consumption of alcohol. Lifestyles have become healthier, and organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) have raised the social conscience about responsible alcohol consumption. Overall consumption of alcohol has decreased in recent years, with spirits declining the most.
In recent years, several new beverages have been added to the nonalcoholic beverage list. From Goji juice to passion fruit green tea, the nonalcoholic beverage world has been innovative in creating flavored teas and coffees and an ever-increasing variety of juices to satisfy all our tastes.
Nonalcoholic Beer
Guinness, Anheuser-Busch, and Miller, along with many other brewers, have developed beer products that have the same appearance as regular beer but have a lower calorie content and approximately 95 to 99 percent of the alcohol removed, either after processing or after fermentation. The taste, therefore, is somewhat different from regular beer.
Coffee
Coffee is the drink of the present. People who used to frequent bars are now patronizing coffeehouses. Sales of specialty coffees exceed $4 billion a year. The Specialty Coffee Association of America estimates that there are more than 17,400 coffee cafes nationwide.9

The Impact of Building Digital Culture on Employees.pdfSherin El-Rashied
Culture is the heart of any organization. It is like oxygen which we can feel but cannot see and without which we cannot survive. In organizations, culture is like the DNA of an organization thus each organization is a unique one, in this context corporate culture was not only created by the founders, management, and employees of a company, but was also influenced by national cultures and traditions, economic trends, international trade, company size, and products where organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with stakeholders. Digital transformation is a cultural transformation that affects the majority of people who work, and it will never be realized unless companies are still confident in their employees that digitalization can help organizations, people, and society achieve a better future.

Jaguar implemented lean production methods at its Castle Bromwich factory to produce the Jaguar S-Type more efficiently. Key changes included:
1. Transforming to team-based work with small autonomous teams and visual management tools to identify issues.
2. Adopting just-in-time production to minimize waste by matching supply to demand.
3. Using techniques like standard work boards and control boards to promote ownership and continuous improvement.
These lean methods helped Jaguar cut waste and costs in S-Type production. Ford aims to replicate this success at its Halewood plant by training workers in Jaguar's lean approach.

17. Starbucks
• Starbucks penetrated the Australian
coffee market in 2000, the company
approached the endeavor with great
ambition.
• Not only did they build stores in major
cities like Sydney and Melbourne, but
they also set up stores in less
populated communities that occupy
the coastal regions of the country.
18. By 2008, they had established 85 stores. All the stores were internally structured and operated the
same as they do in the United States.
Essentially, they attempted to infiltrate the Australian coffee market by establishing their presence
within the market relative to their presence in the US and other international markets.
Starbucks accumulated $105 million in losses, forcing the company to close 61 locations.
Lack of understanding local culture is very evident in Starbucks entry into Australia.
What Starbucks ignored when they set up the 85 outlets in Australia is a “very sophisticated coffee
culture” according to the Starbucks Asia Pacific president John Culver.
Starbucks Failure in Australia
19. Starbucks had been successful all around the world,
but Australians did not want to buy coffee from the
corporate giant, as Australians were not impressed
the Starbucks coffee culture.
Starbucks International failed to pay attention to the
Australian’s passionate coffee preferences and
culture.
Consumers said it did not compare with the
numerous local brews available which were largely
better.
Starbucks Failure in Australia
20. Starbucks Failure in Australia
Australian cafe market is the only country, with New-Zealand, outside Italy with 100%
espresso-based markets in the world, comparing to the United States and other countries
mostly dominated by filter style, or brewed coffee.
The country has been immersed in the cafe scene since the mid-1900s when Italian and
Greek immigrants moved to the continent. It was then that Australians were introduced to
espresso, the key ingredient to an Aussie favorite – the flat white.
Australian have the reputation to be the consumers who have a unique taste in espresso-
based coffees (Mercer). So entrance into such a market would clearly be a tough task for an
American coffee brand.
Australians also compete in barista competitions and can enroll in coffee-making classes, so
they take their coffee seriously.
21. Australia’s already-thriving coffee
culture also proved to be a challenge
for the American brand.
The Australian cafe industry is expected
to hit more than $6 billion in revenue in
2018.
Any random person on the street can
tell you why Starbucks was a failure in
Australia — we have taste buds.
“When we order a
coffee, we expect a
delicious long black
or creamy latte... not
a half-litre of
flavored swill”
23. McDonald's
Australia is the only country in the
world that refers to McDonald's
as Macca's the brand is thriving.
The fast-food chain has reported
three straight quarters of same-store
sales growth in Australia, where the
burger company is fondly known as
"Macca's."
24. McDonald's Success in Australia
International food giant McDonald's is embracing its
Australian nickname, with selected stores around the
country changing their signage to "Macca's“ which
around 920 shops.
For a few weeks leading up to Australia Day, McDonald’s
in Australia became ‘Macca’s’, on the website, in
advertising, on menus and even on signs on selected
stores. McDonald’s research found that 55 per cent of
Australians called the company Macca’s and they have
submitted the word to the Macquarie Dictionary for
consideration.
25. It’s an Australian habit to abbreviate names. So it’s not surprising that we also
created our own familiar version of the McDonald’s name.
McDonald’s themselves have embraced the knickname. Although the signage might
have been temporary, the company has registered Macca’s as a trademark and uses
the term frequently on social media and on its website. They have also released the
mymacca’s app to let customers order and pay online, making fast food even faster.
“Getting Macca’s in your hands has never been so satisfyingly easy.

The personality of the organization
Australia is a country and continent surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans. Its major cities – Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide – are coastal. Its capital, Canberra, is inland. The country is known for its Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef, a vast interior desert wilderness called the Outback, and unique animal species like kangaroos and duck-billed platypuses.
The name Australia (pronounced /əˈstreɪliə/ in Australian English]) is derived from the Latin Terra Australis ("southern land"), a name used for a hypothetical continent in the Southern Hemisphere since ancient times. When Europeans first began visiting and mapping Australia in the 17th century, the name Terra Australis was naturally applied to the new territories
Home to nearly five million immigrants from 160 countries, Australia is rich in cultural diversity. Australians, or "Aussies,“ enjoy an easy-going lifestyle and are generally friendly and relaxed. Modesty and equality are valued.

The Indigenous people of Australia were custodians of the land for an estimated 60,000 years before it was colonised. In the late 18th century, settlers established the country as a penal colony for the convicts of the British Isles. As the land was colonised, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations were dispossessed of their land and their societies were fractured and marginalised. The social makeup of the country was dramatically changed and a European-like cultural mainstream came to be established. The following cultural information depicts this newly dominant culture – a Westernised society whose values have been influenced by continual migration to the Australian continent in the last 250 years.

Australia’s society reflects its British penal history as well as the subsequent waves of migration from elsewhere in Europe and almost every other continent. Australians (or Aussies) have been inventive in adapting their cultural roots to suit the new environment, climate and resources of the country. Modern society is asserting a confident and unique identity through its diversity, language(s), architecture, ‘Australianised’ cuisine, bush identity and sporting prowess.
Australia is the 6th largest country in the world, yet its population is comparatively small at only roughly 24 million people. This makes it one of the least densely populated land masses in the world. Nevertheless, it is also highly urbanised with people grouped into relatively small areas around the major cities. Many Australians enjoy a high standard of living with enough social and economic security to give them a reasonably optimistic outlook on the freedom and possibilities around them. A common national narrative hails Australia as the ‘lucky country’ for the comfortable quality of life it’s population enjoys. In a recent large-scale survey, SBS found nearly two thirds of Australians believe that their country has the best lifestyle in the world. Despite their good fortune Australians tend to resist overt displays of national superiority (with the exception of their sporting prowess). Moreover, at times they have criticised their own country as somehow lacking cultural refinement compared to their European counterparts.

Also, they launched too rapidly and didn't give the Australian consumer an opportunity to really develop an appetite for the Starbucks brand. They also moved into regional areas, into outer suburbs of major cities ... it was too available .. it wasn't an organic growth.
