Thanks Avner, welcome you sharing the link with me and we could possibly link them all up under some sort of European/non US body of practitioners. Welcome your thoughts here or in Amsterdam.
Welcome staying inb touch Avner. We seem to have the same passion for coffee and things of a Starbucks nature. Thoroughly enjoyed your artciles through SCIP CIM and presentations. Until Amsterdam my friend, Amsterdam.
Martha, Yes - I follow the news about strabucks it the US and just have seen the report in Fortune. I'm in the process of translating it to Hebrew and to publish in an Israeli management magazine. It is also in process of becoming a case study that will be discussed in the academic year of 2008/9. I'm still getting comments and surprising help in information from ex Starbucks' people in Israeli. The more I get, the more I see that my analysis is right. Best, Avner
Your Starbucks report of 2007 is quite timely, at least in the US. Starbucks is trying to re-establish the "fresh-ground coffee aroma" as key to regaining position. Let's see if it works for Israel!!
