...pattern in which bursts of breakthrough innovation that reshape an industry are interspersed by flows of less dramatic incremental improvements.” According to that I generally do believe that companies that drive the market have enduring competitive advantages compared to e.g. market-driven companies because they focus on a vision for the future, unhampered by traditional thinking and industry norms for product or service development. Market-driving companies are poised to make discontinuous leaps in innovation in terms of customer value. Moreover they also have a mission to build unique business systems through technology and business model innovation or rather entrepreneurial capabilities. As most of the market-driving companies, STRABUCKS started small but its market-driving potential was inscribed in its DNA. Starbucks will always continue to be a market-driving company because it achieves long-run equilibrium with supra-normal profits and hences a sustained competitive advantage. The secret behind this success or rather behind becoming an “owner of the market”, is the fact that STARBUCKS is a company with revolutionary ideas, not products, which again is part of its unique business strategy, too. Furthermore I don´t believe that STARBUCKS will lose its footing unless it will change its whole idea and business system or a company is coming up with a way better and more affective, innovative system, which I doubt is going to happen soon or ever....

...Cross-Cultural Perspectives Kyle Wright Ethics and Social Responsibility 316 March 16, 2015 Starbucks Around the World Ethics is something that we all encounter daily. It shapes the way in which we view the world and the manner in which we behave in society. There are different levels in which we encounter ethical perspectives, the most basic being on a personal level. From there we shape our ethical perspectives to align with ethical standards at work. The more complex ethical perspectives come from Corporate America especially the companies that dominate each industry and are subjects to the public eye each and every day. It is so important for these companies to adhere to the moral and ethical norms of each culture that they encounter in order to thrive as a business. One company in particular that is known worldwide is Starbucks. Although Starbucks is a flourishing company, expanding to different cultures presents a whole new set of challenges in each place. They have to adapt both to the diverse cultural markets they plan to enter into and the ethical perspectives of these markets.
