How Starbucks Turned Global Expansion Into Massive Growth

What really drives a company’s growth and can historical growth rates always be trusted? Using Starbucks as a real-world example, Sanjay Saraf Sir connects IPO funding, global expansion, China’s growth story and changing market opportunities to one important finance concept: the past growth rate of a company does not tell the full story. Starbuck's journey shows how expansion into new geographies, strategic decisions and major business events can completely change a company’s growth trajectory.
