vision and lower
turnover-rate
19. Starbucks’
limitation
Lost its core brand
value and
commoditization due
to rapid expansion
Its rigidity in entering
a new market -> not
fit with local culture
and habits
20. High price: A Robusta coffee sold in
local coffee shops may cost only
$0.50 while Starbucks coffee can
cost up to $3
Reasons for
their limitations Different in coffee tatstes:
Vietnamese people prefer Robusta
coffee – stronger bitter taste and
higher caffeine content compared
with Arabica of Starbucks
Coffee
Price
Fierce competition
- Large direct competitors including
family-owned café to street coffee
stores.
- 540,000 coffee shops
- 430,000 sidewalk coffee shops
