Disney in Kava
The Walt Disney Pictures in partnership with Buena Vista pictures has become one of the largest providers of family entertainment around the world. With the merger of the two companies over twenty years ago Walt Disney Pictures has grown through the development of new movies and opening their horizon to new marketing age groups (Corporate Disney 2008). The Walt Disney Pictures focuses all of their energy and resources into providing excellent products, services and technology in a way that embraces the loyalty of its customers. Walt Disney pictures mission in Kava would be to create an economic environment that would be viable to the people. This can be done by providing them with the resources that would bring prosperity to the people who live in Kava. Walt Disney pictures would encourage a responsible growth in the economic environment while strengthen the social services of the community.
The precise plan of Walt Disney pictures would be to bring foreign investments that would help to improve the government and communities organizational processes. The reason this is important is because Kava needs to develop a successful business culture that will help them to overcome the tremulous times they have been faced with and allow them to thrive in the future. Kava can achieve this by stimulating the economy thru tourism in a way that would bring more foreign investors. By doing the proceeding Walt Disney Pictures will be able to encourage the ethical decision-making community.
The island of Kava is located in the South Pacific and the majority of people are under the age of 15 years old. This is a country that is in desperate need of many things because it has become an ethnic melting pot of indigenous South Pacific tribes, oriental, African, French, Spanish, and Americans. About 50% of the people from Kava are of indigenous religions, with the remaining half divided between Christian, Buddhist, and Islamic (University of Phoenix, 2008).
Kava’s economy is a wide mixture of products and services, with the main export of products being petroleum, natural gas, cocoa, coffee, spices, sugar, bananas, and fishing. The primary source of revenue in addition to their products is tourism. With this being their main source of revenue there are many potential natural disasters that can affect this revenue. Some of these potential threats are typhoons, floods, tidal waves, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, volcanic eruptions. There are also potential health threats like HIV, petroleum spills, terrorism, and avian flu that could harm this revenue as well.
Back in the roaring twenties America was seeing such world-changing phenomenons such as The Great Gatsby, and penicillin, but what took the world by surprise was none other than Walt Disney and his lovable creation, Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney, throughout his entire lifetime and career, always had an idea, a spark, and a way to make things better. Even in the face of tough times, he never failed to keep his optimistic attitude and kind faith in humanity from infecting those around him. A major part of his success was due to the technological innovations that revolutionized the film industry.
As Walt Disney once said, “If you can dream it, you can do it”. Walter Elias Disney is an innovator, entrepreneur, visionary, and none other than today’s cultural icon. Disney was a man of many facets from the 20th century leading upon his death. Today his efforts in media influenced more aspects than any individual today. Disney has shown his magic since the very beginning when he started the Disney Company known as the Disney Brothers Studio. Along with his first animation of Mickey Mouse which debut in 1928. Moreover, his childlike imagination has manifested into being the third largest media conglomerate today. Disney has shown how business savvy and motivated you can be to create something substantial and profitable. Also, if it’s one

His work in modern media was revolutionary. Moreover, he broadened communication and made it easier to learn about new cultures. Disney’s movies play a vital role in children’s development and their productivity when they enter the “real world”.
If a girl was going to search for her Prince Charming, the first place she should look is in the world of animation. Animation has probably been around since the beginning of time. Although, the artwork that originally resembled animation was only one or two cels, animation today is made up of hundreds or thousands of cels.
Disney’s association with charities and giving back to the community is inspiring in itself and shows the long-lasting effect Disney has on people
The park named Euro Disney, also know as Disneyland Paris, that opened in 1992, was expected to be as magical as Disney always is, but financial and attendance problems, work related suicides, and other issues would impact Disneyland Paris for years. Euro Disney was an idea that started in 1985, opened in 1992, and has continued to stay up and running to this day. Disneyland Paris, with all financial and other issues aside, is compared to Disney World in the United States. The similarities are remarkable. Seeing the success of Disney World, many companies, such as Coca Cola, jumped at the opportunity to have a share in Euro Disney’s prophet (Joce 1-2). Those companies might not have known that having a part in the new expansion of Disney would also cause them to be included in multiple problems to come. With a combination of problems along with the magic of Disney, Euro Disney was guaranteed to have an interesting timeline.
Euro Disney’s major strength is its well-known and established tradition and brand name. Further, Euro Disney is a conglomerate company comprised of many businesses. The existence of their own television programme is in fact a strength, thus transformed into opportunity to advertise its products and parks. Indeed, its strengths or distinctive competences may have been turned into opportunities to experience a competitive advantage over its competitors. Obviously, Euro Disney did not used effectively its strength in the European market, thus has overlooked to transform its strengths into opportunities.
Disney was and still is one of the children’s greatest happiness. His movies represented a way of disconnection with the real world, a model of beauty and bravery in which every child wants to take part. Disney characters have become extraordinarly notable to millions of children and, as one analyst of the Disney empire noticed, “these films inspire at least as much cultural authority and legitimacy for teaching specific roles, values, and ideals than more traditional sites of learning such as public school, religious institutions and the family”. However not everything which is beauty can be real. Due to its incredible impact on children and adults, Disney created an empire that may influence human’s mind by hiding certain messages which might

As one of the biggest entertainment companies of all over the world, Disney had developed and produced billions of products. The products were all designed by artists of Disney and based on the cartoons and films. Nowadays, people can easily find any type of item with Disney characters’ pictures on it in any shops. People can find not only little products such like stickers, pencils, mugs, and textbooks but also large size things like a bed frame painted in Micky Mouse theme, a closet that has several superheros’ pictures on every door and even a house decorated in Disneyland theme. We have to admit that the products of Disney have occupied a significant place of affecting young people.

Who knew that the creation of one cartoon mouse would result in one of the greatest success stories all time, and it all started with an entrepreneur named Walt Disney. Walt Disney was a man who changed the world between his multibillionaire dollar companies including Disney movies, resorts and theme parks. He was a man who started from humble beginnings and has grown into a business mogul that set a standard for business and entrepreneurs for generations to come. The “American Dream” is viewed as success and accomplishment, usually associated with great amounts of money or assets. Although Walt Disney seemed like an idealist, was a true pioneer of the “American Dream”. Disney’s upbringing, business sense, ideas and personality all played a part in Disney becoming a model of the “American Dream.”

The company that I choose to explore is The Walt Disney Company. Walt Disney started the Disney Brothers studio in 1926, after years of working as a cartoonist. I selected this company due to the fact I am a fan of their products and services. Disney produced some of my favorite films like Aladdin, Hook and The Lion King. After I visited their website, I discovered that Disney owns multiple media outlets, in such areas as film, Internet, music, broadcasting, publishing and recreation. According to Disney’s “The mission of The Walt Disney Company is to be the one of the world’s leading producers and providers of entertainment and information. Using our portfolio of brands to differentiate our content, service and consumer products, we seek to develop the most creative, innovative and profitable entertainment experiences and related products in the world”. The Disney brand is doing exactly what their mission states.
