Case
Having installed its coffee stores across much of North America, Starbucks Corp. is aggressively expanding overseas -- and like other global retailing icons, it is finding that international fame can carry a price. Starbucks has been boycotted by anti-war protesters in Lebanon and criticized by New Zealand advocates seeking higher coffee compensations to farmers. And, faced with the possibility of terrorist attacks, the company has pulled out of Israel. Such dissent overseas recalls some of the problems faced by the McDonald's Corp., which has been targeted by everyone from anti-war demonstrators to vegetarians. What some see as growth, others see as corporate colonialism The rise of Starbucks can be directly attributed to the following factors; the emphasis placed on product quality, high employee standards, and creating the perfect cup of coffee. How a small idea became a huge business. Growing up in Brooklyn Howard Schultz had no aspirations. His only goal was to escape the struggles his working-class parents lived every day .

Starbucks Coffee Company announced their plan to perform another global reduction because of the present economic condition. The reduction will take place by the end of the year which will include the closing of 200 locations in the U.S., 100 locations internationally, and over 6,000 partners will face job loss. A notice was sent to all currently operating Starbucks locations at the end of January, explaining there will be another reduction soon, however, it did not reveal exactly which locations will close.
