 * Weekly update #1 **
 * Shared Meanings- ** Employees at starbucks believe that their job has a true defined meaning. For instance, they place emphasis on developing the right attitude and service so that employees feel that they are contributing to something valuable.
 * Organizational Myths- ** Starbucks has many organizational myths. The myth that is mostly represented would be the fact that the organization focuses on making ethical desicions. For instance, they clearly state the fact that they do "fair business" and transmit a high quality enviorment to develop customer loyalty. Most employees focus their development at work based on this ethical approach. Starbucks markets this belief by being involved in communities where they have a business. Moreover, Starbucks always focuses on ways to establish ways "that are better for both people and the planet". This is demonstrated by their establishment of "social responsibility".
 * Cultural Rules and Roles- ** Starbucks places a high value system on timing and service.For example, when selecting a drink an employee makes sure to take down specific instructions to prepare the right blend and type of drink for you. Managers have a high "hands on involvement" to organize employees and divided tasks for re stocking and menu development to meet with requirements. Furthermore, the most noted role starbucks plays is that they have a "wellness" motto even for employees. For instance, they clearly state in their "policies that they support the health of our communities and offer programs for our Partners (employees) that support an active, balanced lifestyle."
