Business Models and Systems

I live in Roanoke, VA, and there are several Starbucks locations around are area. I like to go to Starbucks because it offers me free internet and it is a great place to just hang out.

The three main components of the Starbucks business model are business commerce, business occupation, and business organization.

The Starbucks business commerce is trade, and the products include coffee drinks and coffee related products. Since the company has thousands of branches throughout the world, it is very convenient to “run in and out” and grab a coffee. Starbucks has a very loyal customer base and high profit margins. Through the loyal customer base and always being innovative with new coffee drink ideas, the company is able to charge more for its product. It is more than likely that the Starbucks followers will pay any price to get their coffee fix.

Starbucks’ business occupation is set through the best tools and formulas to create the best drink and provide great customer service each Starbucks branch provides. An entry-level employee receives proper training on all equipment’s used in the various branches such as the drive through window or the espresso machine.

Efficiency in the company and different branch locations as well as excellent customer service, Starbucks’ business system must include a business organization model. This model allows the company to work through a chain of command from CEO to Maintenance employee.

Business organization, business occupation, and business commerce allow everyone in the company to work toward a common goal and to ensure that the company is profitable.
