Starbucks’ Howard Schultz makes guest appearance — at Target HQ

Starbucks founder and CEO Howard Schultz recently touched down at Target Corp. headquarters in Minneapolis as part of Target’s series of “innovation speakers.” “With Starbucks, I dreamed of building a national brand and different kind of company, achieving balance between profit and conscience, bringing people along on the journey, and impacting the communities we serve,” Schultz said. “The kind of company my parents never got the chance to work for. I keep that in mind with every decision I make.” A posting on Target’s Bullseye blog lists five important take-aways from Schultz’s talk. [Target Bullseye blog]
