Howard Schultz has hired you as a consultant and asked you to do three things: (1) critique his actions since re-assuming the position of Starbucks' CEO in January 2008, (2) identify the strategic issues and problems confronting the company as of mid-2012, and (3) recommend what actions he should take to make sure that Starbucks stays on a path of sustained growth and strong financial performance.

Please answer these 3 parts. I need it urgently.
