...'Cannibalising' Mr Schultz has himself been brutally honest about where Starbucks has gone wrong, admitting that it now has too many outlets in the US, which is "cannibalising" sales between branches only a short distance from each other. | It was all but inevitable that after such aggressive expansion that its sales growth would eventually stagnate Brian Morgan, Cardiff School of Management | Also bemoaning a dilution of the "Starbucks experience", he said the firm had lost its focus. "When you succeed at this level for so long... you get a little soft," says Mr Schultz. "We have to get back to what made this company great, and that is to have the courage and curiosity, and commitment, to do things that have not been done before." Image problem Such market saturation has changed how Starbucks is viewed, with many consumers now mentioning it in the same breath as McDonald's and Burger King. | It may not sell burgers and fries, but the perception is that the bigger and more corporate Starbucks has become, the worse customer service and quality have become. As a result, once loyal US customers have migrated to its growing army of competitors, such as smaller but more fashionable chains Caribou Coffee and Peet's Coffee & Tea, despite Starbucks also expanding into selling CDs. Mr Schultz himself has admitted that the brand risked becoming a mere commodity, and needed to better focus on the consumer. Starbucks has further been hit by the likes of McDonald's and...

...Sapo, Marie Nicole M. 4 BBE/ December 3, 2012 Nicolesapo.wordpress.com Creating Strategies Strategy indeed is important to every organization and you don’t just create it, you plan it to run your organization in a straight line. You think, research, study and plan your strategy or in short, you strategize. Strategy is viewed in different perspectives and used in different manners. We need to know the strengths and weaknesses of an organization to have a basis on what strategy we can create against our competitors and for sustainability as well. This is important as it helps you outperform or outsmart your competitors in the present and also in the future to be able to gain an advantage and be competitive. According to Mintzberg’s article, Crafting Strategy, “…one of the great challenges the corporate strategist faces: knowing the organization’s capabilities well enough to think deeply enough about its strategic direction”. When we strategize, we first consider the resources or skills that we have so that we know where to start. It gives us basis and ideas for us to carefully plan and formulate our strategy. Then we think of how to make use of the resources or skills and then plan on how we could benefit and use it as a tactic. It goes the same with organizations, making use of its strengths to create strategies that targets the weaknesses of other organizations. As to what Henry Mintzberg mentioned in his article, it gave “…five definitions of strategies – as plan...

...A. Geography >China stretches some 5,026 kilometres (3,123 mi) across the East Asian landmass. China is bordered by seas and waters eastward, with the East China Sea, Korea Bay, Yellow Sea, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea, and bordered by landmasses on its 3 other sides, from North Korea to Vietnam. China has been officially and conveniently divided into 5 homogeneous physical macro-regions: Eastern China (subdivided into the northeast plain, north plain, and southern hills), Xinjiang-Mongolia, and the Tibetan-highlands. Its physical features are multiples. The eastern and southern half of the country, its seacoast fringed with offshore islands, is a region of fertile lowlands and foothills with most of the agricultural output and human population. The western and northern half of China is a region of sunken basins (Gobi, Taklamakan), rolling plateaus, and towering massifs, including a portion of the highest tableland on earth (Tibetan Plateau) with lower agricultural possibilities and thus, far less populated. Traditionally, the Chinese population centered around the Chinese central plain and oriented itself toward its own enormous inland market, developing as an imperial power whose center lay in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River on the northern plains. More recently, the 18,000-kilometers coastline have been used extensively for export-oriented trade, making a power shift, with the coastline provinces becoming the leading economic center.

External analysis (EA): explain actual situation. Avoid theoretical situations. Don’t put “Ifs…” (If 1. Include actual implications and analyze the situation – need to provide data support! 2. Ex. The exchange rate is expected to be stable and because of this the funding could go down by this much iii. Internal analysis (IA) 1. It’s better to start with discussion of how organization has performed a. Ex. Under the family devt program, what are the success measures? How did the org fare? If they’re not doing so well, find out why! b. Success measures could be: Program accomplishments, number of beneficiaries served, how effective org has been (given limited funding), etc. iv. Identification of strategic issues 1. The most critical threat or weakness that needs to be addressed (or strengths that need to be maintained) - so we have to choose among all the threats/weaknesses v.

...Systemimplementering innebär genomförandet av en process att installera hårdvara och mjukvara (i det här fallet är mjukvaran även personalen) och att få igång AIS. Fasen inkluderar sex steg, varav de fyra mellanstegen integreras under utvecklingen. Figur 3.1 System implementation Varför ett nytt system behövdes, känns som överflödigt att gå in på i denna fråga, och därför lämnar vi detta orört. Planen Givetvis så inleder man projekt såsom detta med att utveckla en plan. Planen ska grovt sett innehålla meningen med implementeringen, en tidsplan, kostnader och vem som ansvarar för sitt område. Malmö stad har satt upp mål för HRut, som kan delas upp i projektmål och effektmål. Projektmålen tar upp vad det nya systemet ska innehålla samt när det ska vara färdigt. I effektmålen så ser vi resultatet av vad det nya systemet förväntas förbättra. Projektmålen måste vara noggrant genomtänkta då dessa bygger grunden för det nya systemet. Ändringar som kommer halvvägs in i processen är inte accepterat och därför kräver detta noggrann kartläggning innan projektet sjösätts. Av vad som går att utläsa av den knappa informationen så framgår det som att effektmålen enbart innebär förbättringar av olika processer. Systemet kommer inte vända upp och ner på allt utan ska förbättra och underlätta för Malmö stad och dess anställda. Längre fram är det viktigt att poängtera detta: ”Hjälp-oss-att-hjälpa-er” buskapet.
