The case explains that Starbucks has far more retail outlets than does Dunkin' Donuts, and it is sometimes said that in many cities you can find a Starbucks on almost every corner. What type of macro strategy for Starbucks does this difference between the two companies represent? -product excellence -customer excellence -operational excellence -locational excellence -financial excellence

Locational excellence Explanation: By selling Starbucks coffee in so many locations, Starbucks makes it easy for customers to find a store. This is locational excellence, which refers to having good physical locations or a strong Internet presence. Locational excellence can create a sustainable competitive advantage because it can be difficult and expensive for a competitor to match; imagine the cost if Dunkin' Donuts tried to add almost 20,000 locations in order to match Starbucks!

The case describes local initiatives used by Dunkin' Donuts to try to build customer loyalty. Which of the macro strategies to build sustainable competitive advantage is Dunkin' Donuts pursuing? -product excellence -locational excellence -customer excellence -loyalty excellence -operational excellence

Customer excellence Explanation: Dunkin' Donuts is trying to build loyalty by offering local partnerships with sports teams and through other measures intended to bring it closer to its customers.

In-class problem: When Tillamook introduced chipotle-flavored cheese in the market, what type of growth strategy was it? -market development -market penetration -product development -diversification

Product development

As the case explains, at one time customers were likely to buy their donuts at Dunkin' Donuts and their coffee at Starbucks. However, several years ago Dunkin' Donuts added espresso drinks to its menu. If Dunkin' Donuts adopted this strategy in order to get its donut customers to spend their coffee dollars at Dunkin' Donuts instead of at Starbucks, what type of growth strategy does this change represent? -product excellence -diversification -market penetration -market development -product development

Product development Explanation: The question proposes that Dunkin' Donuts wanted to sell its new espresso drinks to its current customer segment. Selling new products to current customers is a product development growth strategy. If instead Dunkin' Donuts had intended to attract an entirely different market segment to its stores by selling espresso drinks, you could argue that this strategy represented related diversification: a new (but related) product sold to a new market segment. (Product excellence is a macro strategy, not a growth strategy.)
