Overview of the company

Starbucks is a world-renowned coffee brand The company's headquarters is located

in Seattle, Washington, USA

The first Starbucks coffee shop was established at 2000 Western Avenue in Seattle, Washington, on March 30, 1971 by three individuals: Jerry Baldwin, an English teacher, Zev Siegl, a history teacher, and Gordon Bowker, a writer

Starbucks offers a range of products including coffee, espresso, cappuccino and latte, frappuccino, tea, and non-coffee beverages Additionally, Starbucks provides a variety of pastries, bread, sandwiches, snacks, and light food options to accompany the beverages

Initial founding phase (1971-1981): Starbucks was founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, by three friends Howard Schultz, Jerry Baldwin, and Zev Siegl Initially, the store only sold whole bean coffee and coffee-making equipment

Formation stages of Starbucks:

- First expansion phase (1982-1986): In 1982, Howard Schultz, a passionate coffee enthusiast, joined Starbucks as a Director of Marketing He traveled to Italy and was impressed by the coffee consumer culture there, particularly the espresso bars Schultz convinced Starbucks' leadership to expand the business model and sell espresso coffee in their stores

- Separation and acquisition phase (1987-1991): In 1984, Howard Schultz left Starbucks to establish his own company called Il Giornale, specialising in espresso coffee However, in 1987, he bought Starbucks from Baldwin and

the brand.

- International expansion phase (1992-2000): Starbucks went public on the Nasdaq stock exchange in 1992 From then on, the company continued to expand and opened its first Starbucks store outside of Seattle in 1987, on the North American continent It later expanded to Europe, Asia, Australia, and other regions around the world

- Expansion and innovation phase (2001-present): Starbucks continued to expand its store network and global growth They expanded not only in the coffee sector but also in non-coffee beverages and light food offerings Starbucks also focused on innovation and developing new products, such as Frappuccino and specialty teas, to cater to customer demands and

preferences

- As of now, Starbucks has over 32,000 stores worldwide and is one of the most famous and popular coffee brands globally

Starbucks Five Force Analysis

Market Internal Competition (Strong Force)

Starbucks Coffee faces strong pressure from competitors In the Five Forces analysis model, this force is related to the interplay between competitors and the coffee industry environment

In this case, the following external factors contributed to strong pressure on Starbucks:

- Large number of cafes and food service companies (strong force):

Starbucks is "strongly" impacted by its large number of coffee shops and food service companies

In fact, Starbucks has many competitors of different sizes, including multinational companies and small local cafes

For example, Starbucks has to compete directly with competitors such as Costa Coffee, Dunkin' Donuts, Tim Hortons and many other local coffee shop brands This creates a fiercely competitive environment, with the goal of capturing market share and attracting customers from competitors

strategy of its competitors Because in fact, coffee shops have different business characteristics and strategies

For example, Blue Bottle Coffee focuses on using pure coffee and special roasting methods, while Tim Hortons focuses on providing fast, affordable food and drinks Just like Starbucks focuses on providing a diverse menu with special coffees and creating a unique experience space for customers

- Low cost of switching between cafes (strong force):

Starbucks is under intense competitive pressure due to the low cost of switching between cafes

Customers have the ability to switch from Starbucks to a competitor easily and inexpensively Since the coffee market is highly competitive, it is easier for customers to switch from Starbucks to another coffee shop if they have better benefits or value

For example, if a competitor offers high-quality coffee at a more competitive price, customers can switch to it without much difficulty or price disparity Therefore, Starbucks must always improve and maintain a competitive advantage to retain customers

Buyer Bargaining Power (Strong Force)

Starbucks faces strong pressure from the bargaining power of customers or shoppers In Porter's Five Forces analysis model, this strength is based on the influence of individual customers and their customer groups on the coffee shop business environment

The following external factors contribute to the strong bargaining power of customers for Starbucks:

- Low cost of switching between cafes (strong force):

As noted above, customers easily switch from Starbucks to another coffee shop if they have better benefits or value This means that, if a competitor offers quality coffee at a more competitive price, customers can easily buy elsewhere without worrying about the price difference

beverage alternatives, as customers have greater flexibility and choice when

it comes to shopping decisions

For example, customers can choose to buy food and drinks quickly from vending machines, like vending machine systems Thanks to the convenience and speed of service, customers can easily buy drinks and food on the spot without going to the cafe

Supplier Bargaining Power (Medium Force)

Starbucks Coffee Company faces the moderate force or bargaining power of suppliers Porter’s Five Forces analysis model considers this power as the influence that suppliers have on the coffeehouse chain business and its industry environment The following external factors contribute to the moderate bargaining power of suppliers on Starbucks Corporation:

- Moderate size of individual suppliers (moderate force)

With over 23,000 stores worldwide and a high demand for supplies, Starbucks works with a large number of suppliers all over the world, making them an important factor for the company

Furthermore, almost all small suppliers are willing to offer favorable terms in order to be associated and become a partner of Starbucks At the same time, larger suppliers having a greater scale and longer cooperation hold more negotiation power with Starbucks

- Limited variety of suppliers (moderate force)

The number of suppliers is also very large, so Starbucks has a lot of options Starbucks may also easily swap from one supplier to another due to the similarities between these providers

Starbucks also implements development policies directly with coffee growers all over the world (Starbucks has purchased a considerable quantity of the highest grade Vietnamese coffee and is committed to finding more supply of Vietnamese coffee in the long run) This allows the company to have more control over its supply chain As a result, suppliers are less likely to argue over raw materials prices for Starbucks

When there is scarcity, suppliers may have the ability to enforce their requirements, such as raising the price of raw materials, thus strengthening their bargaining power

For example, in the USA, Starbucks experienced a "temporary supply shortage" for items such as oat milk, caramel, matcha, and so on during Covid 19 Many people have expressed dissatisfaction with any stores in the region that can not provide their favorite drinks This is extremely damaging

to Starbucks' reputation and does not guarantee customer experience

Pressure from Substitutes (Strong Force)

The strong force or pressure of substitution affects Starbucks Corporation In the Five Forces analysis model, this threat pertains to the impact of substitute goods or services on the coffee business and its external environment

The following external factors contribute to the strong threat of substitution against Starbucks:

- High availability of substitute foods and beverages (strong force)

As can be seen, the number of substitutes for Starbucks brand coffee is very high Customers have several options, including ready-to-drink beverages, and drinks can be purchased from a range of places, including restaurants, vending machines, supermarkets and grocery stores, and internet stores Another threat is posed by beverage items that people can create at home Customers will find it easier to select alternate products as a result of this Furthermore, Starbucks faces competition from pubs and restaurants that offer both a pleasant atmosphere and high-quality items

- Low switching costs between coffeehouses and substitutes (strong force)

Switching from Starbucks to a substitute does not incur significant switching costs Customers can easily switch to alternate products if they so wish

- High affordability of substitute products (strong force)

Many alternatives are less expensive than Starbucks items (Highland, the Coffee House) As a result, alternative products become more competitive

Starbucks from substitutes.

Threat of New Entrants (Medium Force)

The moderate force or threat of new entry imposes challenges to Starbucks In Porter’s Five Forces analysis model, this threat refers to the effect of new players or new entrants in the coffeehouse industry

In this business case, the following external factors contribute to the moderate threat of new entrants against Starbucks:

- Cost of doing business (moderate force)

This is the cost of establishing and maintaining coffee business operations For example, operating a small coffee shop is less expensive than

establishing a major coffee chain These little new enterprises can reduce Starbucks' market share but not cause too much pressure for Starbucks

- Supply chain costs (moderate force)

Small coffee shops have less supply demand and correspondingly lower supply chain costs than large coffee chains like Starbucks

- High cost of brand development (weak force)

New coffee shops often do not have the resources to develop their brands and compete directly with Starbucks This helps reduce the threat level from new businesses to replace Starbucks with their own brands

Although there are some new entrants in the coffee shop industry, the pressure they pose to Starbucks is moderate Setting up a giant chain store like Starbucks requires a lot of time as well as huge investment in development and brand loyalty Currently, Starbucks has a loyal customer base with beverage products here based

on the quality of its products and infrastructure New entrants can compete with Starbucks at the local level However, their probability of success is only moderate

or low These brands can only attract customers by offering lower prices

The supply chain strategies of Starbucks

Starbucks is well known for its comprehensive and effective supply chain

management strategies, which help the company ensure the delivery of high-quality products and services to customers while maintaining a sustainable and ethical supply chain.To accomplish this, the company has created a comprehensive supply chain management strategy that includes the following key elements:

Global Sourcing

For raw materials that go into direct production, Starbucks sources coffee beans from a variety of regions around the world, including Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific This diversification helps to reduce the risks associated with climate change, political instability or other factors that can affect coffee growing regions

The company has developed close relationships with coffee farmers and suppliers in these regions to ensure a consistent supply of high quality coffee beans

To ensure the quality of their products, Starbucks sets high standards and controls quality from the growing stage to processing and distribution They also regularly evaluate and train their suppliers to ensure compliance quality requirements The partners selected by Starbucks are required to comply with the Rainforest Alliance's sustainability standards and obtain certification from the

organization.Starbucks has also created a separate program called Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices to assess and ensure the compliance of coffee suppliers with sustainability standards

Supplier Relationships

makers, ingredient suppliers, equipment and accessory manufacturers, and transporters and logistics

In its research and development strategy, Starbucks emphasizes on building strong relationships with suppliers Right from the beginning when choosing a supplier, they have placed great emphasis on choosing reputable and reliable suppliers They consider criteria such as product quality, supply capacity to meet demand, reasonable price and many other factors Then, once the right suppliers were selected, Starbucks established a long-term cooperative partnership with them Instead of just treating suppliers as sellers, Starbucks creates an environment where both parties cooperate and share benefits This includes building trust, respect and fair negotiation in supplier relationships In addition, Starbucks promotes

information sharing with suppliers to provide them with a comprehensive view of the company's needs and business plans This helps create a shared understanding

of strategy and goals, which in turn facilitates coordination and consensus across the supply chain

In short, Starbucks creates a good and sustainable partner environment with suppliers through selecting cooperation partners, sharing information, managing quality, and encouraging sustainable development

Sustainable Development

At a strategic level, Starbucks is focusing not only on delivering high-quality coffee, but also on its overall vision of sustainability and positive environmental impact through supply chain management
