,Abstract
This article examines a comprehensive summary of the specialty coffee business and

Starbucks' involvement within two emerging markets in the world and how it holds a

relatively favorable position. The paper focuses on the international marketing tactics

that Starbucks use in two culturally different countries and the marketing decisions

made by Starbucks in those countries.

The paper also analyses the PESTLE framework and the competitive scenarios in

China and Brazil and focuses on how it has entered these markets and survived.

Starbucks’ market entry plan in both countries, in addition to the company's

segmentation, targeting, positioning strategies, and other marketing aspects, were

thoroughly discussed in the report.
