Q2. CASE STUDY: Starbucks

In the beginning, the company was a single store in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. From just
a narrow storefront, Starbucks offered some of the world’s finest fresh-roasted whole bean coffees.
The name, inspired by Moby Dick, evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition
of the early coffee traders. In 1981, Howard Schultz (Starbucks chairman, president and chief
executive officer) first walked into a Starbucks store. From his first cup of Sumatra, Howard was
drawn into Starbucks and joined a year later. A year later, in 1983, Howard travelled to Italy and
became captivated by Italian coffee bars and the romance of the coffee experience. He had a vision
to bring the Italian coffeehouse tradition back to the United States. A place for conversation and a
sense of community. A third place between work and home. He left Starbucks for a short period
of time to start his own Il Giornale coffeehouses and returned in August 1987 to purchase
Starbucks with the help of local investors. From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different
kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought
a feeling of connection. Their mission to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one
cup and one neighborhood at a time.

Today, with more than 15,000 stores in 50 countries, Starbucks is the premier roaster and retailer
of speciality coffee in the world. And with every cup, we strive to bring both our heritage and an
exceptional experience to life. Starbucks has certainly invested large amounts of money into their
digital transformation, with their technology and partnership spending increasing in just the past
year from $145 million to an estimated $250 million. But their efforts have more than paid off, as

not only have their profits soared, but they’ve seen an “unparalleled frequency” in repeat
customers. Starbucks COO Kevin Johnson perhaps sums it up best: “Where others are
attempting to build a mobile app, Starbucks has built an end-to-end consumer platform
anchored around loyalty.” The company’s main innovation is their Mobile Order and Pay app.
This is fundamentally a customer-first strategy, as it addresses the basic wants of the consumer:
convenience, line avoidance, and so forth. Coupled with their extensive loyalty program, the app
gives Starbucks the perfect venue to upsell and market to consumers. Furthermore, the app funnels
back massive amounts of user data to the company, allowing them to better understand their
customers’ habits and desires.
