Starbuck has achieved this by recognizing the requirements and taste preferences of the local Chinese people and tailoring its flavor accordingly. In 2010, Starbucks launched its first coffee bean manufacturing and processing facility in China. Starbucks has been able to gain the faith and trust of the community by providing more employment as a result of this. Starbucks has also recruited local Chinese customers by paying top dollar for high-quality coffee beans cultivated by local farmers. Starbucks has also unveiled a new logo that is more international in nature and does not include words.3. Compare Starbucks’s U.S. and Chinese strategies. What are the similarities and differences?

(10 Points) - Starbucks’ quest for healthy growth: An interview with Howard Schultz | McKinsey- Starbucks has been successful in China by employing a combination of methods that it has used in the United States over the past few decades. Starbucks has followed the same quick development strategy in China as it did in the United States, where it has established coffee shops in a variety of locations. Starbucks has also been concentrating on gaining the confidence of its employees in both regions by providing perks and possibilities for advancement.- Starbucks made the mistake of opening new coffee shops across the US without careful consideration, according to Howard Schultz, the company's CEO, and as a result, many of the coffee shops had to close within the first 18 months of theiroperation ("Starbucks' quest for healthy growth: An interview with Howard Schultz | McKinsey & Company," 2011).

They investigated the demands of the Chinese community and created coffee with a flavor that the Chinese clients liked. It's possible that they would have failed in the Chinese market if they had gone with the American taste.- Starbucks, in my opinion, may benefit from their experience and use the same methods of gauging the local population's taste and spending preferences in every nation before establishing a real presence there.

Starbucks may concentrate on developing their coffee shops at a rate that does not obscure their flaws until they are handled effectively. This will ensure that growth continues in the correct path, without the hiccups that the US industry
