We are transitioning from a very retail centric view about the brand to a view that will allow us to say that Starbucks’ role is to provide uplifting moments to people every day. I didn’t say coffee. If you go beyond coffee, you can get to music, you can get to literature, you can get to a number of different areas. It can also become a licence to dilute the brand. Therefore our goal is to remain true to our core, coffee. After all, we are the protectors of something that is 900 million years old.

The coffee shop business is mainly framed in 2 mainstreams. First group is the major players like Starbucks, Seattle's Best Coffee, Dietrich, Brewsters, New World, Gloria Gears, which can be denoted as Specialty Brands. Second group contains One-Store coffee shops like The Broadway Café. These are generally local, small businesses.
The coffee shop industry possesses a very high intensified competition on all players: both Specialty Brand and One-Store Coffee Shops. The main reasons that contribute to the high competition are
• The number of shops is huge (hoovers.com)
• Competitors are selling same or similar products, including specialty coffees as well as high quality foods.
• The fixed cost portion constitutes a high portion of the cost structure. Companies should sell more products to cover these costs, which increases competition.

When it comes to the uncontrollable elements that Starbucks has encountered entering the global markets, I can think of three factors. The first major factor for Starbucks is the prices of coffee in the world commodity markets. The price of coffee may be affected for example by a drought, just like corn if there is a drought the price of corn goes up. A factor that Starbucks also can’t control is the customers’ income. When the economy is doing bad then people spend less which means people would possibly buy less Starbucks then. The last factor that Starbucks has no control over is the variation in world
