Globalization - Coffee & Value Chain. What is the likely value chain of a coffee shop? For example, how did the varieties of coffee beans get there? What is the likely effect of market globalization on coffee shops? Do technical advances play any role in
Imagine you are studying for your international business class at a local coffee shop. The manager spies your textbook and remarks, "I don't get all that foreign business stuff. I don't pay much attention to it. I'm a local guy running a small business. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about any of that." The manager's comments make you realize there is much more to business than just local concerns. What is the likely value chain of a coffee shop? For example, how did the varieties of coffee beans get there? What is the likely effect of market globalization on coffee shops? Do technical advances play any role in the shop's value chain? Does globalization imply any negative consequences for the worldwide coffee industry? Justify your answer. The coffee shop manager is naïve to think he is simply a local guy running a small business and that international business is somehow irrelevant, as it pertains to the growth or success of his business and the affects it has on others within the coffee value chain. Coffee is imported from various countries such as Brazil, Vietnam, Columbia, Indonesia, Mexico, India, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru. These countries happen to be the top ten green coffee producers of the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_coffee The two types of coffee plants most widely cultivated are grown in tropical and subtropical
