For this assignment, we need to write a paper after reviewing the “Starbucks Structure” case study found in Chapter 3 of the Five Functions of Effective Management. In this article, I will analyze the infamous coffee company Starbucks and what organizational structure is the best form for this company, with a focus on job descriptions for an employee. I will also determine the form of departmentalization, whether Starbucks should integrate food, and whether, in the face of financial difficulties, it is appropriate to centralize power or decentralize operations. However, before we get into all that, I'll give a little background on the company. In 1971, Starbucks opened its doors to become one of the most well-known coffee chains. The first store is located in Seattle as part of Pike's Place Market and is a huge tourist attraction. I personally went there several times when I was declared in Washington State from 2011 to 2013. “In 1981, Howard Schultz (Chairman, President and CEO of Starbucks) had first entered a Starbucks store. From his first cup of Sumatra, Howard was drawn to Starbucks and joined a year later in 2014). Forty-two years later, you can still walk into this chain and enjoy a nice, expensive cup of coffee, but I believe you get what you pay for. “Today, with more than 18,000 stores in 62 countries, Starbucks is the world's leading specialty coffee roaster and retailer (2014). » Starbucks' mission is to inspire and nourish the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood. both and with that my job description is popular barista. According to our course materials, job design is how we create job descriptions and departments (Reilly, Minnick, and Baack,...... middle of paper ...... you adapt to the change and employee roles. “A Matrix organization adaptation involves designing the business by product and country (Reilly, Minnick, & Baack, 2011).” This is important, especially when Starbucks is geographically known and that it must be able to conform to its environment and people's tastes These changes would be successful because they would improve the customer experience and define the communication Moreover, whether Starbucks changes its organization or structures, this company. will continue to be a popular cafe Really I hope they learn to lower the prices but I love that they listen to their customers and employees Also if they expand their menu I will. I hope they do so I can have the best of both worlds because Starbuck's will be around for a long time as long as their caffeine addiction. coffee lovers like me.
