Starbucks
Introducing the business -
Starbucks first originated from America, as a coffee
company and coffeehouse chain. Starbucks has stated
that their main purpose is “To establish Starbucks as the
premier purveyor of the finest coffee in the world while
maintaining our uncompromising principles while we
grow.”, and "To inspire and nurture the human spirit —
one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.".
Their overall goal is making profit through sales of the
company. The profit of Starbucks in 2018 was $24.72
billion, which then increased by $1.79 billion in 2019,
resulting in $26.51 billion. The number of employees
stated currently present in 2019 was 346,000, an
estimated amount of 17% increase from 2018, as it is
widely known that Starbucks focuses on their employees and the benefits they accomplish from their
work. As previously mentioned, in 2019, Starbucks had a number of 346,00
employees worldwide, working in over 30,000 locations in more than 30 countries,
including China, Japan and the US being the highest amount of stores located in.
The first expansion located outside the US was in Japan, Starbucks was quickly
becoming an international coffee house, many people were noticing the large amount
of attention the coffee house was receiving.
External Environment - A PESTLE analysis is a framework to analyse the key
factors (Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological, Legal and Environmental)
influencing an organisation from the outside. It offers people professionals insight into
the external factors impacting their organisation. The analysis is flexible, so
organisations can use it in a range of different scenarios. People professionals and
senior managers can use the results to guide strategic decision-making. These
strategies can help a business not only make better decisions so that business levels
can be kept stable and can grow/expand in a stable and consistent pace. By
understanding these external factors, it's possible to maximise opportunities and minimise threats to
the organisation.
P5 - Select a variety of techniques to undertake a situational analysis of a given business
PESTLE - Political (3 Paragraphs)
The government is investing in infrastructure around the world that enables Starbucks to be in
partnership with more manufacturers and markets in order to receive and distribute their goods.
The New Political Group The Conservative Party, also recognized as the Conservative Party, is the
largest political party in the United Kingdom. Since the First World War, the party, alongside its
primary rival, the Labour Party, has led the British political system.
