Company Name Starbucks Significant Event One Significant event I found was Weaknesses in Starbucks. Yes, Starbucks has a high turnover rate, but they are also going through Union Issues. The union workers are being treated unevenly and being fired. Organizers are being targeted, and the company threatens to take away raises and promotions if they vote union. Strengths Weaknesses Loyal Customers- Starbucks has a rewards program that helps keep loyal customers coming back. After receiving so many points, they can redeem them for store products. Quality Products- Starbucks tries to get the best of everything to make its products superior. They support the local farms that grow those beans and taste what they make.
