Starbucks management configures the store offerings to take maximum advantage of the space available and customer preferences.
Starbucks' actual distribution system is much more complex, but for the purpose of our exercise let's focus on a single item that is

In 2012, Inditex reported sales of about 16 billion euros from more than 6,000 retail outlets in about 86 countries. In an industry in which customer demand is fickle, Zara has grown rapidly with a strategy to be highly responsive to changing trends with affordable prices.

The result is that Zara sells most of its products at full price and has about half the markdowns in its stores compared with the competition. Zara manufactures its apparel…arrow_forward
