Yip and Hult (2012) define globalization as a business operating in all four hemispheres. There is no question that Steam Boat Willie, the original 1928 Mickey Mouse and the original Disney character, has expanded the Disney Company into a global business. As Disney pursued global expansion, there were a lot of variables to contend with. In order to operate in any foreign environment, competition must be frequently analyzed. Additionally, adaptions often need to be made in order to compete and to meet the needs and wants of consumers in the local culture. Disney has become one of the most recognizable globalized companies in the world through theme parks, cartoons, movies, and merchandising in foreign markets.

Oligopoly is a market structure whereby a few number of firms owns a lion’s share in the market. This market structure is similar to monopoly, except that instead of one firm, two or more firms have control in the market. In an oligopoly, there are no upper limits to the number of firms, but the number must be nadir enough that the operations of one firm remarkably influence and affects the others (Investopedia, 2003).

The Walt Disney Company is a leading international family entertainment and media enterprise. The company is there in the field of family entertainment for more than nine decades. From their humble beginnings as a cartoon studio in the 1920s to the global corporation they are today, the company continues to proudly provide quality entertainment for every member of the family all around the world. They have five main business segments including studio entertainments,, interactive medias, consumer products, parks and resorts and media networks. The subsidiaries within these segments of the Disney Corporation include ESPN, Touchstone, Marvel, ABC, Pixar, numerous theme parks and resorts, and a variety of consumer product lines. One of the company’s newest merger is Marvel. It is causing a lot of controversies in the workplace, especially within the Disney Consumer Products division (DCP).

Pixar has been releasing movies since 1995 whereas Dreamworks animation has been releasing movies since 1998. Pixar 's first movie was Toy Story and Dreamworks Animation 's first movie was Antz.. Pixar´s most viewed movie is Ratatouille and Dreamworks´ most viewed movie is Shrek. Pixar´s least viewed movie is Cars and Dreamworks´ is Shark Tale. Both have made more than enough movies, but Dreamworks has made 14 movies and Pixar has only made 10 movies. So maybe they want to be better than Dreamworks and are going to make more movies.. Who knows what´s going to happen next, we 'll just have to wait a

Blasphemy! How can parents possibly choose to make their children watch Disney movies? Disney movies have been a part of millions of people’s childhood. All the adventurous stories, “innocent roles”, and happy endings may seem harmless, but they are affecting the audience’s mind by sending the wrong message. Disney movies are negative for the viewers, and aren’t beneficial to children because they represent historical inaccuracies, send subliminal messages, and promote sexual activities.

Disney witnessed its worse years in business in the following 18 years after Walt Disney’s demise. The company was so depended on Walt Disney for creativity and no one could fill this void. By late 1970s and early 1980s, the film division declines due to the dearth of Creativity. The financial performance of the company deteriorated from 1980 to 1983 and it was surviving solely due to its theme parks, which had remained popular and profitable. Moreover, Disney incurred heavy costs as it was investing in EPCOT and the new Disney Channel. It ended up with the resignation of Roy E. Disney in 1984 when the corporate earnings began to stop. It was at this juncture of extreme crisis - when Disney was even facing hostile takeovers - that Eisner takes the charge of the company.

Does hearing the tagline “The Happiest place on earth” takes you on a memory lane of the very first day at Disneyland? The Walt Disney Company, was a dream of the most famous name in the animation industry and the creator of Mickey Mouse, Walt Elias Disney and now the company has estimated net worth of an about 36 billion dollars. (Funamentals n.d.) The company has been running from 1923 till current and I have decided to take the first 43 years (1923 to 1966) in consideration because I wish to tell the reader how the company went from Good to Great under the supervision of Walt Elias Disney.

No matter what part of the word you are in, the word “Disney” would probably be recognized by anyone. Why? Because Disney’s influence spans globally. From theme parks, to television networks, to movies, to Broadway shows, it is clear that Disney is “the” multi-media conglomerate. So, when Disney recently announced its intention to purchase 21st Century, a well-known mass media cooperation, it is no surprise that people reacted strongly. However, reactions seemed to be split. Some people were excited, expressing how Disney’s newly acquired rights to projects such as X-Men and the Fantastic Four could really enrich the film industry, while others were concerned with Disney’s growing influence on all things media. How does this kind of deal affect our culture and consumption?

The Walt Disney company does not only have an immense amount of economic power on the American entertainment industry and popular culture, but they have acquired influence across the world. The company has recorded that one quarter of the 45 billion dollars Disney makes annually comes for the international market (Hongmei). It can be said that Disney is one of the best-known companies or brands in the worlds and covers a wide range of markets from films to television programs, to merchandise and publishing not to mention the theme parks. However, the inspiration to expand globally does not completely rest on income and to promote capitalism within the company. In some circumstances the marketing decision is more political than economical. A good example of this is the interaction and relationship between Disney and the Chinese government. The relationship began in the post-Cold War era when Disney produced films reflecting the Chinese way of life, like Kundun and Mulan (Hongmei). Both of those films served as a political compromise and a marketing opportunity for Disney to gain a foot hold in the Chinese market. While the initial intent was to resolve the political differences, the negotiations and conflicts soon shifted to an economic opportunity. I find this interaction to be strange, Disney is interacting with post-socialist China on political and economic grounds. That means a global corporation, that began in and reflects the United States is negotiating with a nation

Out of the 12 listed above two(Miramax and the Anaheim Angels) were sold out and one(Saban Entertainment) saw some of its assets sold. However the remaining eight are still part of the Disney family. From a strategic prospective I would consider New Horizon Interactive a failure cause of whose Cub Penguin failed to meet its target. But these failures didn’t affect the rest of marvelous acquisitions of the Walt Disney corporation. Let us begin with the acquisition of Pixar(2006). With Disney and Pixar together ranks among the best acquisitions of all time. Analyst believed that Disney needed this acquisition since its own animations were failing one after another. With acquisition of Pixar Disney not only got access to the Pixar technology but

All resources that an organization has may not have strategic relevance. Only certain resources are capable of being an input to a value creating strategy which put the organization in a position of competitive advantage.

Disney kingdom was started by a person named Walter Disney in association with his brother who called Ray O Disney in 1923.
