    China has a tea-drinking culture, and tea has dominated for centuries. The coffee consumption in China is relatively low and although the coffee consumption is growing in some particular cities in China e.g. Shanghai and Beijing. The coffee market giant such as Starbucks has already had 500 shops in China and Chinese people are more attracted by the Starbucks image and experience than to the coffee itself. Michel’s may face the difficulties when operating in Chin in China. First, the key source of competitive advantage of Michel’s is about its successful franchising system, which prepared in a central bakery and then delivered to the franchisee’s stores and hence franchisees need only minimal preparations to start their business. However, this competitive advantage may blur because of the issues of logistic and bakery set up (localized central bakery). If Michel’s could not deal with those issues, which comprised with their competitive advantage, results in less attractive and profitable of the brand. Therefore, it is hard to Michel’s to maintain its competitive advantages to compete with other coffee giants in this case- Starbucks, which has invested heavily in the brand development as one of the key competitive advantage in China. In addition, the franchise system in China is not mature; the local managers don’t have much managerial skill to understand the franchise concept, and often they might do what they want to regardless the franchise agreement, which may cause the inconsistent brand image and operations between home and host country. Before Michel’s initial launch into…

    Bubble tea is specialist drink increasingly being offered in cafés, coffees shops and bars.It originates from Asia and is made up of hot or cold tea, milk, sugar and giant black tapioca balls. Ice is then added and the drink shaken to create the bubble effect. Bubbletea is often referred to as pearl shake, tapioca ball drink; boba ice tea and bubble drink among other things.Owing to their influences, bubble tea cafés are often Asian-themed in décor and may alsosell Asian snacks and food. They are often situated in fashionable areas of cities, populated by urban professionals with high disposable incomes and an interest inalternative eating and drinking venues.Bubble tea is a tea beverage that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. The term "bubble"refers to the tapioca balls in the drink. These chewy tapioca balls, or "pearls," areconsumed along with the beverage through a wide straw. Bubble tea is especially popular in many East Asian and Southeast Asian regions such as Taiwan, Brunei, China(including Hong Kong and Macau), Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea,Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Australia.Bubble tea is a mixture of iced or hot sweetened tea, milk, and often other flavorings. Thedistinctive characteristics of bubble tea are the black gummy balls made of tapioca (or,more commonly in East Asia, yam starch), called "pearls" or "boba" or balls that sit at the bottom of the cup. The pearls are larger than those found in tapioca pudding, with adiameter of at least 6 millimeters, but smaller ones are occasionally used. They aregenerally translucent brown with a darker brown center, although pearls of other colors or 'jelly cubes' have also recently become available.The original bubble tea consisted of a hot Taiwanese black tea, tapioca pearls, condensedmilk, and honey. As this drink became more popular, variations were created. Initiallyiced versions with a hint of peach or plum flavoring began to appear, and then more…

    STARBUCKS: SELLING COFFEE IN THE LAND OF TEA Starbucks has been doing business in China since 1999 when they opened their first coffee shop in Beijing. Today, hundreds of Starbucks stores sell coffee in the land of tea, including one at the Great Wall. It has become one of the most popular brands among the country’s 20 – 40-year-old upwardly mobile Chinese, or “Chuppies”, as they’re called, but so far China accounts for only about 10 percent of Starbucks’ sales. Nevertheless, Chairman Howard Schultz believes the country will someday be the company’s largest market outside North America. “The market response,’ he says, “has exceeded our expectations.” This may seem surprising when you consider the fact that the majority of China’s one billion-plus population are tea drinkers who didn’t know what coffee was until Nestle introduced a powdered version on store shelves in the 1980s. But Starbucks is betting that it can win the new generation over by marketing its signature product as an emblem of modern china’s new sophistication. “Coffee represents the change,” says Wang Jinlong, president of Starbucks Greater China. “The disposable income in concentrated on the young people, and this is the place they want to come.” Success in China could depend on how well Starbucks markets itself to what Wang calls the “little emperors.” China’s one-child law has spawned a generation that isn’t interested in collective goals, he says. Instead, they embrace the Western belief in individually that Starbucks embodies. After surveying Chinese consumers, Starbucks compiled a list of the top reasons they go to cafes. Surprisingly, the number one reason was “to gather with family and friend,” while “to drink coffee” lagged behind at number six. Living spaces are generally small and cramped there, making place to congregate important to the Chinese. Da Wei Sun, manager of outlets in Beijing, believes that Starbucks found success in China because it took this idea of a place…
