Starbucks case study
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Organize and identify your responses, preferably, by cutting-and-pasting each specific instruction and number, as written below. All too often, students end-up writing an incorrect or incomplete response because they failed to address the instruction or question exactly as it was written.
Where appropriate, you should use tables or charts, and/or bullet-points and sub-headings to organize and display your analyses. Doing so not only makes it easier for you to understand and explain, it cuts-down on the amount of supporting narrative that you have to write to explain the outcomes of your analysis and assessments.
You should read the exam questions in their entirety, before starting.
