g. Stock exchange

Starbucks stock exchange listed at Nasdaq. The name is SBUX.

h. Brief history

The first Starbucks was opened in Seattle, Washington, USA, on March 30, 1971 by three partners. English teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegl, and writer Gordon Bowker. Now currently Starbucks I present in more than 55 countries. In North, South and Central America, Caribbean, Oceania, Europe, Africa and Asia.

This is time line of the Starbucks:

-The first store was opened of STURBUCKS in St Seattleâ€™s Pike Place Market in 1971.

-Howard Schultz joins Starbucks as a director in 1981.

-When Howard traveled to Italy in 1983, that time Espresso was so popular in Italy and he saw a lot of coffee bars there, he saw the potentiality to grow a coffee culture there in Milan.

-The founders of Starbucks was so much convinced by Howard to establish the total concept of coffeehouse in downtown Seattle, and the first StarbucksÂ® CaffÃ¨ Latte was served there in 1984.

-in 1987 the first stores were opened by Starbucks in Chicago and Vancouver, B.C.

-Full- and part-time employees were offered health and safety insurance by Starbucks in 1988.

-In 1991 they became the first private company which is situated in U.S. to offer a stock option program that includes part-time employees.

-in 1992 they started initial public offering (IPO), with common stock and started trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the trading symbol "SBUX."

-FrappuccinoÂ® blended beverages was first introduced in 1995.

-Started selling bottled FrappuccinoÂ® coffee drink with a join venture of Pepsi â€“Cola in 1996. That year first store was also opened in Japan.

â€“In 1997 The Starbucks Foundation was established to help the local communities.

-Had a conservation in 1999 to Internationally promote the environmental method of growing coffee.

-Introduced the Starbucks Card and also introduced the coffee growing guidelines in 2001.

2002 -Starbucks enters into licensing agreements with national Fair Trade organizations to sell Fair Trade Certifiedâ„¢ coffee in the countries where Starbucks does business.

2004 -Opens first Starbucks Farmer Support Center in San Jose, Costa Rica. Introduces Starbucks Coffee Master Program to provide Starbucks partners with an opportunity to learn more about the world of coffee, and share their passion with customers and partners.

2008 -Announces a renewed focuses on customer experience and innovation. Acquires Coffee Equipment Company and its revolutionary CloverÂ® Brewing System.

2009-Launches innovative VIAâ„¢ Ready Brew coffee. Opens Farmer Support Center in Kigali, Rwanda.Becomes the worldâ€™s largest buyer of Fair Trade Certified.

3. Analysis the management of the company.

Key employees of the Starbucks are top managers, sellers, CEO and other workers. CEO is most important employee. Because CEO decide the whole works. If CEO do the work wrong company will may fail. Thatâ€™s why CEO is most important worker. Also managers are important. Managers are communicating with employees. Managers say to employees whatâ€™s wrong, whatâ€™s correct. Managers motivate employees. Good managers say employees do the work own way. Itâ€™s very easy to employees do work.

Starbucks have one big problem. Big problem is communication problem. Customers didnâ€™t like some sellers and managers communication. Because they not respect the customers. There have some cases they not respect the customers. They lost many customers because of that.

Key employees are very important for the company life and growth. In Starbucks case Howard Schultz is very important for the Starbucks. Main management is communication. Customer like good communication service. Starbucks must teach theirs employeeâ€™s communication lessons.

4. Analysis the broad environment of the Mongolian market in regards to the business of the company.

Socio-cultural issues-Starbucks must analyze culture to enter the Mongolian market. Thereâ€™s not much difference in the culture. Asian culture is almost similar. Starbucks already has their chain restaurants in China and Russia, which are two countries that surround Mongolia. Russian culture is very similar to Mongolian culture.

Political/Legal issues-There will not be any political and legal issue to enter Mongolian market. They must follow the Mongolian government policy. That policy is there must be a Mongolian person that is a shareholder of the Starbucks coffee shop.

Economic issues- Many Mongolian people have standard life. Itâ€™s mean they canâ€™t buy high price things. Starbucks may sell theirs products cheaper price.

Technological issues-Mongolia does not have every technological thing to grow the coffee beans. Starbucks may be able to bring the whole technological thing. Maybe Mongolia has some technology to produce coffees and other drinks.

Climatic issues- Mongolian climate is very hot and very cold. So Starbucks may be able to produce the coffee beans in summer. But in winter they must starts to import coffee beans from other countries.

5. Analysis the task environment of the company in Mongolian market related to the business of the company

Competitors- In Mongolia has many coffee shops like a Starbucks. But they not so popular like a Starbucks. That coffee shops are: Ti-Amo, Coffee House and other many small coffee houses. Ti-Amo has 4 good locations in town. They sell coffees, soft drink and some cakes. But they have one big disadvantage. That disadvantage is every coffee house can smoke in there. Thatâ€™s main problem for non-smoking peoples.

Suppliers- Starbucks buy the coffee bean from countryside peoples. Some it mean they helping countryside. Starbucks use everyday lot of coffee beans.

Distributors-

Customer-Now many Mongolian people drinking coffee. They drink coffee every time. But in Mongolia doesnâ€™t have high quality coffee shops. If Starbucks open in Ulaanbaatar, many people will like that. Most of the business peoples are drinking coffees. Because they have lot work to do and coffee give them energy. Also students are drinking coffee.

Financial intermediaries-

Unions-

Activities-

Government-

Local communities-

Media-You can see everywhere Starbucks logo. On Internet, television and other things. You can listen about the Starbucks on radio. Starbucks think media is very important. Media one of the thing we can communicate with costumers.

6. SWOT analysis based on the surveillance of the task and broad environment.

Strengths- Starbucks is world brand. Starbucks is largest coffee shop in world. Starbucks present more 55 countries. Starbucks sell high quality coffees, cakes, sandwiches and other things. Every Starbucks has a free WIFI. You can seat their whole day. Itâ€™s your choice. Starbucks can find best location in the town.

Weaknesses- There has some disadvantages. Many Mongolian not drink coffee. They prefer tea. Also Starbucks may lose the costumer for theirs high price. Many Mongolian have standard life. They canâ€™t buy one-cup coffee for high price.

Opportunities- Starbucks may have very good location. Good location may in Central Tower. Further locations are likely to be found near the Shangri-La hotel construction site, by the State Department Store as well as near Sukhbaatar Square and Maybe even Zaisan.

Threats-Starbucks will become Mongolian daily products. It may be able to become Mongolian best coffee shop.

7. Based on the SWOT analysis inferences a strategy for the company to operate in a Mongolian market

Starbucks is world brand. Starbucks must find a good location in Ulaanbaatar. I think first Starbucks may open only one coffee shop. Then see what will happen. If many people like Starbucks and have many customers. Then Starbucks will open other coffee shops around the town. I think Starbucks must buy the Khan Buuzs location. Khan Buuz has a very good location. Starbucks price must be low. Many Mongolian has standard life. Also Starbucks must learn about Mongolian culture. Mongolian culture is not same like other countries. Starbucks may give the customer free pure water. Also coffee shops must very comfortable for the business peoples. They can eat lunch their and do the work their. Starbucks must have free high speed Internet. Last thing is Starbucks service must very quickly.

8. the tools we will use to measure the effectiveness of our newborn strategy

Gross profit margin=(Sales-COGS)/Sales*100. Itâ€™s efficiency of operations and product pricing

Net profit margin=Net profit after tax/Sales*100. Itâ€™s efficiency after all expenses are considered

Return on assets (ROA)=Net profit after tax/Total assets*100. Itâ€™s productivity of assets

Return on equity (ROE)=Net profit after tax/Stockholders equity*100. Itâ€™s earnings power of equity

Conclusion

From those facts Starbucks may open in Mongolia. Starbucks will never fail on Mongolian market. If Starbucks go with good strategy Starbucks become largest and high quality coffee shop in the Mongolia. Starbucks enter to the Mongolian market they should follow the Mongolian policy. Mongolian must be shareholder of the company. Thatâ€™s not that big problem. Mongolia does not have many coffee shops like Starbucks. Ti-Amo is the Mongolian best coffee shops. Starbucks may buy very good places in town. I think there are many facts Starbucks to enter Mongolian market.
