I will identify ethical perspectives in this global organization and compare the ethical perspectives across cultures that are involved in this global organization.

With a solid financial plan, the organization can tackle initiatives without the organization finding itself in so many debits they cannot recover. Initiatives can also affect a company’s financial planning, just as it affected Starbucks initiatives. Howard Shultz, the CEO of Starbucks stated, Starbucks has initiatives and plans that include increased stores, operating efficiencies, decreases in cost, and even more long time growth for Starbucks (Starbucks, 2011). In order for Starbucks to increase stores, decrease cost and increase operating efficiencies, they had to create a financial plan for this initiative. When a company, such as Starbucks, starts financial planning, it begins with a firm’s working capital to achieve the company’s goals and initiatives.
