Starbucks is not an advertiser; people think we are a great marketing company, but in fact we spend very little money on marketing and more money on training our people than advertising.
How did pragmatism play a role in Starbucks’ global success?
スターバックスの世界的な成功において、実用主義はどのように役割を果たしましたか?
いきなり、予想どおりの質問がきました。
先ほど書いた通り、ヨーロッパの焙煎方法を導入したことについて説明します。
Alfred Peet introduced European style of roasting beans and it made their coffee very tasty. After that Starbucks expanded rapidly and opened over 20,000stores in 62 countries across the globe.
The US coffee was poor taste at that days, so they introduced European style coffee and made their coffee tasty. After that their company expanded rapidly.
About 3 years ago, our airport had a problem at the security check point. There were a lot of passengers at that days, they should have to wait for over one hour for security check. For improving this situation, we introduced smart lanes which is the new type of X-ray machines. After that the waiting time had reduced drastically and the passengers not waiting for 15 minutes at most.
“just like mushrooms appearing everywhere”=「いたるところに現れるキノコのように」店があるというそうです。
