...Country Analysis Economics Like many Eurasian states, Turkey struggles to find a balance between new capitalistic markets consuming its larger cities and the agricultural sector of its economy that still accounts for 25.5 percent of employment. Its influence in the global market has been slim; however, technology and automobile markets are growing significantly and have helped raise real GDP by over five percent per year. Turkey’s main priority is to maintain the stability of growth in GDP and reduction in inflation (“Turkey”). Since the 1980s, Turkey has struggled to reform its economic policy through the ups and downs of military coupes and competing government parties. Turgut Ozal, finance minister at the time, is responsible for Turkey’s economic reforms. Ozal focused on the reliance of market forces; he devalued the Turkish lira, reduced exchange rates, increased incentives for exports, increased the price of goods produced by public sector companies, and abolished price controls (Rivlin, 212). The policy was successful, driving down inflation and increasing GDP. By the mid-eighties, however, inflation rates skyrocketed due to outside spending that increased national debt, an increase in unemployment rates, and unstable trade agreements (213). Throughout the next decade, the rollercoaster of inflation and increased debt continued to plague Turkey’s economy. A 1989 reform allowed capital movements in and out of the country and high interest rates encouraged investment...

I speak about how he worked his way up from line cook to restaurant owner, and what he is doing now in his own restaurant after working many years in other people’s restaurants.

The restaurant industry is changing. As the world speeds up, people have less and less time to sit down and enjoy a meal with their families. What’s more, they want the food they do order to be cheap and quickly prepared. At the same time, there are dozens of restaurants opening all of the time, each looking for a competitive advantage over the other. Restaurants post deals on Twitter, and reach new potential customers on Facebook. They advertise on websites to reach a larger demographic they couldn’t in the past, while gaining a more intricate understanding of that demographic through the use of analytics and statistics measuring who in the area would want to travel to their establishment...

...9-504-016 REV: JULY 10, 2006 YOUNGME MOON JOHN QUELCH Starbucks: Delivering Customer Service In late 2002, Christine Day, Starbucks’ senior vice president of administration in North America, sat in the seventh-floor conference room of Starbucks’ Seattle headquarters and reached for her second cup of toffee-nut latte. The handcrafted beverage—a buttery, toffee-nut flavored espresso concoction topped with whipped cream and toffee sprinkles—had become a regular afternoon indulgence for Day ever since its introduction earlier that year. As she waited for her colleagues to join her, Day reflected on the company’s recent performance. While other retailers were still reeling from the post-9/11 recession, Starbucks was enjoying its 11th consecutive year of 5% or higher comparable store sales growth, prompting its founder and chairman, Howard Schultz, to declare: “I think we’ve demonstrated that we are close to a recessionproof product.”1 Day, however, was not feeling nearly as sanguine, in part because Starbucks’ most recent market research had revealed some unexpected findings. “We’ve always taken great pride in our retail service,” said Day, “but according to the data, we’re not always meeting our customers’ expectations in the area of customer satisfaction.” As a result of these concerns, Day and her associates had come up with a plan to invest an additional $40 million annually in the company’s 4,500 stores, which would allow each store to add the equivalent of 20 hours of...
