Not only do they make sure that they are helping the society, they release their global issue reports to the public. Many different aspects are involved in trying to keep this promise that Starbucks has made of trying to cut back on their water supply and improve their recycling. (Reis, 2009) There are many advantages and disadvantages as well as opportunities to expand their market in order to achieve greater profits. The social forces involved with the running of Starbucks Corporation are immense. Not only does the company have a huge impact on the society, society certainly drives the company as well.

...situation were different, I'd know what course of action to take" or "If the marketing manager hadn't already fouled things up so, badly, the firm wouldn't have a problem." Such reasoning ignores the fact that the events in the case have already happened and cannot be changed. Even though analysis or criticism of past events is necessary in diagnosing the problem, in the end, the present situation must be addressed and decisions must be made based on the given situations. 6. Narrow vision analysis. Although cases are often labeled as a specific type of case, such as "pricing," "product," and so forth, this does not mean that other marketing variables should be ignored. Too often analysts ignore the effects that a change in one marketing element will have on the others. HIGHLIGHT 4 An Operational Approach to Case and Problem Analysis 1. Read the case quickly to get an overview of the situation. 2. Read the case again thoroughly. Underline relevant information and take notes on potential areas of concern. 3.

In the stage two students will develop a specific marketing strategy and marketing mix and present them in the class. In the stage three, students will write a report. If any of the group members leave the group, the remaining group members must complete the work without any concession and compensation. - Stage 1 Market research and analysis – tutorial presentation and discussion - Stage 2 Marketing strategies and marketing mix – tutorial...
