Starbucks plans ‘significant changes’ to company’s structure

LA Times  

Starbucks Corp. is planning an organizational shake-up, including corporate layoffs that will start at top levels, as the coffee chain tries to reverse stagnant sales and rekindle investors’ interest. “We must increase the velocity of innovation that is relevant to our customers, inspires our partners, and is meaningful to our business,” Chief Executive Kevin Johnson said in a memo to employees viewed by Bloomberg News. A Starbucks spokeswoman said the changes will entail an undetermined number of layoffs and include some employee shifts between company departments. It’s also pushing innovation in other areas including automating its back-of-store inventory system to reduce waste and let staff spend more time with customers.
