Starbucks Micro (Five Force Analysis)
Porter’s Five Forces represent theoretical framework that is used for
industry analysis and strategy development. Specifically, the five forces
shaping competition within the industry consist of the intensity of rivalry
among the competitors, the risk of entry of new competitors, the
bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers and the
threat of substitute products and services (Sinkovics and Ghauri, 2009).

resources associated with buildings and properties are

bargaining power because there is no and minimal
switching cost for customers, and there is an abundance
of offers available for them. So the power of buyers is
low.

The power of suppliers
Starbucks suppliers have high bargaining power due to
the fact that the demand for coffee is high in global level
and coffee beans can be produced only in certain
geographical areas. And for the coffee beans , above
50% from Latin America , 35% from the Pacific Rim,
15% from the East Africa. Moreover, the issues
associated with African coffee producers being treated
unfairly by multinational companies are being resolved
with the efforts of various non-government organizations,
and this is contributing to the increasing bargaining
power of suppliers. So the power of suppliers is high .
