The Coffee Wars.

Slide25

Coffee Wars

Starbucks declines in the 2000s, leading heavier competition with Dunkin' Donuts (DD) and McDonald's (

McD

) despite Schultz's "pain" in his company being compared with fast-food restaurants.

Economic recession + rising prices for food commodities (which were at an all-time high in 2008) caused Starbucks to increase their prices, which pushed consumers to DD or

McD

.

Slide26

Coffee Wars

Starbucks tests drive-through windows and introduces breakfast sandwiches to their menu.

McD

added espresso and flavored coffee to its menu, which it marketed as "specialty coffee," and sold for 60 cents cheaper than Starbucks.

Starbucks began using television commercials in November of 2007.

March 2007 Consumer Reports ranked Starbucks

behind McDonald's Premium Roast. The magazine called Starbucks coffee "strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open"

Slide27

Coffee Wars

McD

created "

UnsnobbyCoffee.com

" and billboard advertisements in Seattle that said "Four bucks [for espresso] is dumb.”

Schultz was reinstated as CEO of Starbucks, and re-focuses on

educational

and

artful

coffee experience and customer service

“The way ‘we’ see it…”

Our group has come to the conclusion that the Starbucks brand will thrive in future if:

Continued participation in the

health and wellness markets

: transparency with ingredients and processes.

Strong presence in and advocate for humanitarian and conservationist efforts. Make themselves a brand with a

conscience

worth supporting.

Protecting the

unique identity of each Starbucks store

, to avoid the “big chain” feel and to preserve the “artful

and educational coffee

ambiance ” at home in each locale.

Gain prestige via

corporate culture

rankings.

Slide43

Original Inspiration

lessons behind the global coffee company’s comeback

In 2008, Howard Schultz decided to return as the CEO of Starbucks to help restore its financial health and bring the company back to its core values. In Onward, he shares this remarkable story, revealing how, during one of the most tumultuous economic periods in American history, Starbucks again achieved profitability and sustainability without sacrificing humanity.

Slide45

“The road is paved with so many companies that have lost their way through thinking that they can be all things to all people. The strength of Starbucks brand and the success of our company is linked to focus and discipline. We’ll continue to be a coffee company. That’s who we are.”-Howard Shultz, CEO
