Starbucks' Growth Destroyed Brand Value

Leadership & Managing People Case

Starbucks announcement that it will close few stores in Saudi Arabiaadmission of limits to growth.

The founder Howard Schultz recognized the problem that his own growth strategy had created: "Stores no longer have the soul of the past and reflect a chain of stores vs. the warm feeling of a neighborhood store."
