STARBUCKS • Trademark: AMBIANCE• High quality products and services• Core competency: Customer
Experience • “The Starbucks Experience”• Valuable, rare, costly-to-imitate
intangible resource• Positioned themselves as the “second
place.”

Why and how did Starbucks lose its uniqueness?
• Competencies can atrophy through forgetting.• Starbucks expanded operations
rapidly: doubled number of stores in 5 years (8,500 to 17,000 stores).• Expanded product line.• Stayed away from their core
business.• Starbucks forgot what made them
unique.

Re-creating Uniqueness
• 2009 – Launched Via (its new instant coffee)• 2010 – New guideline was
introduced• Baristas would no longer multitask,
but would focus on no more than two drinks at a time, starting the second one while finishing the first.
• GOAL: Bring back customer experience that built Starbucks as a brand.

Recommendations• Focus on their core competency and
provided high quality products and services instead of expanding product line.• Enhance their intangible products
through aligning the tangible products to their ‘culture’.• Take advantage of technology
(online orders, apps).• Venture out in new markets instead
of over-concentrating in one area.• Never forget their VMO.
