You can’t say "containment" with a straight face after this- look what is happening with Starbucks:
SEATTLE- Starbucks Corp. fired Chief Executive Jim Donald on Monday, handing the reins back to Chairman Howard Schultz as part of a major restructuring initiative aimed at pulling the company out of a downward slide.
The move, coupled with plans to close some U.S. stores and slow down opening new ones, comes as the world’s largest chain of coffee houses has seen its stock plummet 50 percent over the last year and declining traffic in its domestic stores.
What has happened to this former Wall Street darling?
Starbucks has struggled in recent months as consumers have cut back on spending amid declining home values and higher fuel prices.
