Abstract
The international coffee market is a very competitive market. There are increasing numbers of competitors, such as full service restaurants and other coffee shops, entering the growing specialist coffee market in recent years. starbucks must be aware of this strong competition all over the world and try to maintain its operational advantages in order to keep its leading position in the future (Datamonitor, 2004).
starbucks is heavily reliant on the supply and on the prices of coffee. Although starbucks has supply agreements with suppliers in advance, the company could still face problems due to fluctuating coffee prices. Other factors, such as weather and economic conditions in coffee producing countries, also affect starbucks' operations (Datamonitor, 2004).
