Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Since 1987, Starbucks's star has been on the rise, growing from 11 Seattle, WA-based stores to more than 1,000 worldwide. Its goals grew, too, from the more modest, albeit fundamental one of offering high-quality coffee beans roasted to perfection to, more recently, opening a new store somewhere every day. An exemplary success story, Starbucks is identified with innovative marketing strategies, employee-ownership programs, and a product that's become a subculture.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a manager, a marketer, or a curious Starbucks loyalist, Pour Your Heart into It will let you in on the revolutionary Starbucks venture. CEO Howard Schultz recounts the company's rise in 24 chapters, each of which illustrates such core values as "Winning at the expense of employees is not victory at all." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.



From Library Journal

The author is the entrepreneur behind Starbucks, the coffee-shop chain with a "passion" for quality coffee. Through the voice of Eric Conger, Schultz speaks poetically about the "mystery and romance" of the "coffee experience." Well, to some people coffee is like that. The program is not so much for those who want to learn about business techniques as for those who love Starbucks. Schultz's story is an interesting one, largely a personal narrative about making it big. At one point the narration says, "It's not about me," but to a great extent the tapes really are. Recommended only if Starbucks has a strong presence in your community.?Mark Guyer, Stark Cty. Dist. Lib., Canton, Ohio

1.0 out of 5 stars How Howard Schultz did it with Starbucks, Dec 23 2007
By Ferdinand L. Starbuck - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Through a cast of characters that includes coffee-wild hippies, business sharks, slackers, Hollywood trendsetters and more, STARBUCKED explores how America transformed into a nation of coffee gourmets in only a few years, how Starbucks manipulates psyches and social habits to snare loyal customers, and why many of the things we think we know about the coffee commodity chain are false.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great biography of business, Jul 28 2007
By Kris Head - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another author described this book and Sam Walton's book as two of the best business books ever written. It's definetly one of the best I have read.

After reading this book, I felt reinspired. I sat back and spent a lot of time thinking about how some of the principles outlined in the book can be applied to my company.

I have already recommended the book to friends and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to understand how businesses grow and adapt.
