As retailing is the customer-based business and easy to observe, standing in this area will be a good view to see the wisdom of business management to change the world. After choosing retail coffee industry as topic, by which Starbucks represented, we will have two major contents to see the knowledge and the insight of business management and industry development research based on Starbucks business model. They are project selection and analysis of Starbucks involving industry development. The Starbucks business model analysis involves product management, customer relationship management, culture and brand management, and ethical marketing and corporate social responsibility.
