Starbucks is the largest coffee shop network in the world. There have been many Starbucks stores are popping up all over Indonesia. Currently in Indonesia there are 147 stores spread across 12 cities. Starbucks as a coffee shop, is not only provides high-quality coffee but also creates a different experience for the customer and as a prestigious place to work .

Starbucks originated from the United States and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The first Starbucks store opened on March 30, 1971 by three partners : an English teacher, Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, a history teacher, and a writer Gordon Bowker . The three were inspired by coffee roasting entrepreneur Alfred Peet, which they know personally, to sell high-quality coffee beans and their equipment. Since its founding as a toaster and coffee beans local retailer, Starbucks expanded rapidly. In 1990, Starbucks opened a new store every workday, a phase which continued until the 2000s

Starbucks value chain system creates added value to its products, which make customers willing to pay more. Therefore, the company does not hesitate to set prices above market for its products. In fact, customers come to Starbucks coffee and do not look at the price but they are looking for quality products and brand image that the company offers. This happen because their value activities were effective in the coordination between its primary and secondary activities, resulting in the creation of added value to Starbucks brand and products

Its inbound and outbound logistics activities, operations, marketing and service activities are supported with a good corporate management planning, human resource management, technological development, and procurement activities. For example, the setting up of stores is well planned. Each location is carefully studied, taking consideration and seemingly irrelevant details such as traffic flow, density of people and demographic characteristics of an area, and careful selection of personnel to be deployed in each outlet. These are done to support the primary activities that aim to deliver good quality coffee products to consumers. In the primary activity component, suppliers are cautiously selected, the distribution of coffee beans to each outlet is carefully planned to maintain freshness, and each store are designed to exude an ambience of luxury and comfort for its consumers. This is the cause that Starbucks become the company a leader in the coffee industry for last two decades.

SWOT analysis is the instrument used to perform strategic analysis . According to Freddy Rangkuti ( 2004 ), SWOT analysis is the identification of various factors systematically to formulate corporate strategy. This analysis is based on the logic that maximizes strength (Strength) and opportunities (Opportunities), but at the same time can also minimize weakness (Weakness) and threats (Threats).

According to David (2006), IFE and EFE Matrix aims to analyze environmental factors, either internal and external. Internal factors are classified into strengths and weaknesses of the company and analyzed with matrix IFE . External factors classified into opportunities and threats for the company and analyzed with the EFE matrix. Stages in the manufacture of IFE matrix and EFE , are as follows : a. Factors specified in column 1 for external strategies are opportunities and threats and internal strategies are the strengths and weaknesses of the company b. Give weight to each factor in column 2, from 0.0 (not important) to 1.0 (most im portant). The sum of all weights given to all the factors must be equal to 1.0 c. Give rank 1-4 in the third column for each key factor, for determine the effectiveness of the company's strategy in response to these factors, by making a scale ranging from 4 (excellent ) to 1 (below the average ) d. Multiply each weight by its rating to determine the factors weighted value e. Sum the weighted value of each variable to determine the total weighted value for the company

Values that obtained from the IFE and EFE matrix is inserted to IE Matrix for mapping the position of the company at the current time. The Total Weight of IFE scores will be put on the x-axis and the total weight of EFE scores will be put on the y-axis. IE Matrix divided into three major parts that have different strategy implications , namely : 1. Growth and Build division (I, II , or IV) 2. Hold and Maintain division ( III, V or VII). 3. Harvest or Divest division (VI, VIII or IX)
