Starbucks Coffee Company

Dear Mr. Johnson,

Re: HR Managerial Strategies to Support the Globalization Plan of Starbucks

This letter seeks to present my proposal to your company, Starbucks concerning the issues raised above. Having learned the challenges that your company experience because of lack of managerial strategies that can support globalization, I would like for you to review my plan for the proposal that I intend to provide for your company. I believe that the company’s mission, vision, and goals should also be considered for integration in the plan to address the issue raised above. Managerial strategies are key in ensuring that your goals and objectives are achieved and without compromising any effort from every stakeholder seeking to enable your company to achieve those goals. With your vision being “to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time,” it is notable that every person counts in your endeavor to succeed. Therefore, I believe you ought to “treat people like family, and they will be loyal and give their all” as the vision statement for your company postulates. For instance, Starbucks should undertake talent recruitment to fill open positions since the type of employees who become part of the organization determines its success.

Therefore, I intend to inform you about my proposal and how you would implement the identified solution in your company. Firstly, kindly note that I will conduct an organizational gap analysis to enable me to have a clear image of the challenge at hand and offer the most appropriate solution. I understand that Starbucks’ operations consist of upwards of 30,000 coffee shops and kiosks spread over 80 markets around the world including Japan, Germany, Mexico, and Malaysia-just to name a few. The corporation outlines its organizational culture as a culture of belonging, inclusion, and diversity, however the culture in the U.S may be different than the culture in Japan, Germany, Mexico, and Malaysia to name a few. The need for diversity and culture training is of high importance in each market. Therefore, my proposal will present a comprehensive solution on how to address this issue considering that it is extensive and requires a critical approach. Secondly, I intend to offer a practical solution on how your company can develop a training plan to enhance talent improvement. Believably, nurturing diversity by promoting diverse talents and opinions goes a long way in ensuring that the company facilitates globalization. Also, the employees need to be based on different geographical regions to ensure that the company promotes diversity of cultures and, consequently, have a good reputation that will sell it among all nations. For instance, my proposal will provide an explicit training for management that will enable all employees at a higher rank than others can easily implement any approach that would bring a positive impact on Starbucks.

Lastly, please note that the information sources from your company’s website, global organizations, case studies, and articles will enable me to promote my research on the possible issues affecting Starbucks and their respective solutions. Therefore, I believe that my proposal will have a positive impact in your company if it will be implemented. I promise to be diligent in working on it and that I will preserve a good culture that Starbucks promotes.

Respectfully,

Manuel Rivera

HR Director
