peer agreement (net): +5перейти со Starbucks в McDonald (речь об эмблемах) Explanation: *** -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 мин (2009-02-06 16:17:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The second story that came yesterday reports that Starbucks is considering a value meal. Last week, CEO Howard Schultz told investors that the company is looking at "several breakfast pairings" at "attractive" prices. According to Fox News, "analysts wonder if the plan will be enough to keep value-seeking customers from abandoning the mermaid for the clown," ***referring to new McDonald's coffee drinks***, which are in about half of the company's U.S. stores. http://lgbusinesssolutions.typepad.com/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 мин (2009-02-06 16:20:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- На эмблеме Starbucks изображена русалка, а клоун Рональд - символ McDonald's. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 мин (2009-02-06 16:23:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Будет ли новое меню Starbucks достаточно привлекательным, чтобы считающие деньги покупатели не пополнили армию тех, кто пьет кофе в Макдоналдс? |
