Michael Eisner: The Future Of Disney's America
Michael Eisner felt that Disney could play a part in teaching American history and he was on a mission to create a theme park dedicated to that purpose. Virginia’s Piedmont is a beautiful and stimulating place that encompasses forests, rivers, mountains, farmland, thriving settlements, and numerous historic and cultural resources. Disney hopes to enter the tourist market that visits Washington D.C. and northern Virginia and began marketing the proposed park as a complement to the many museums and battlefields in the area. With the mission and location of Disney’s America discovered Michael Eisner hoped to open the theme park soon, but new circumstances came in the way of Disney’s America. Now Michael Eisner and Disney must decide. The three options are keep the theme park going, stop the construction of the theme park, or bring in representatives from protests groups to include their ideas to the theme park. No matter which option is choses Disney and its constituents will be vastly affected.
Michael Eisner should choose to bring in representatives from protests groups and see what ideas/suggestions they could impart that will alter Disney’s America and ultimately keep the theme park going albeit in a slightly new direction. The main …show more content…
Disney needs to make alterations to Disney’s America. Not just regurgitate messages to its constituents. Stakeholders need to see action. The anti-Disney groups have vast financial resources that could make their anti-Disney tirade/campaign go on for a long time. And they make good points about the pollution, traffic, not enough jobs, piedmonts already rich history without a theme park, and whether Disney could do justice to their theme park. Disney must do more than just keep the park going by building strong messages. Their opposition won’t falter that

    Eisner And Disney Case Summary

    As Schepers realized it: “When the checks and balances in public thinking and action are weakened or absent, management of potential or real side-effects disappears from the public radar screen and a systemic crisis is in the making” (476). Public governance is a relevant subject on the context of the Disney’s theme park that due to lack of it, oppositions grew at large to balance the positive consequences versus the negative expectations of the public. In fact, according to Van Wart, this balance is difficult to achieve as more variables come into place, such as “economic demands,” “political trends and rapid introduction of varying technologies…

    Arena Football in a Disneyized World

    Ever since the beginning of the 1970s, Disney World has become an influential blueprint that many companies have used do business in society. Disney World has many different techniques and ideas that have allowed them to produce maximum gain in all facets of society. This is known as ‘Disneyization, ' "the process by which the principles of the Disney theme parks are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as the rest of the world" (Bryman, 1999, p. 26). Disneyization is broken up into five separate principles: spectacularization, theming, dedifferentiation of consumption, merchandising, and emotional labor. These principles have been adopted by companies all around the world and have been thrown into full practice today in our society.…

Little does everyone knows that the creators of the park are using their clever minds to trick you into become what seems like their puppets. Outside of Disneyland one can try and rebel against the man but when it comes to visiting this magical park it some how does wonders to a persons vision and blinds them from what is going on. The creators of Disneyland tell you where to go what rides to go on next and what you are going to purchase even without you knowing. Even for the rebels without a cause, Disneyland has something for them too. “Every area of Disney World includes a Disney Villains Shop, a chain store for bad-guy merchandise.

    Environmental Decline Of Disney's America

    p32+ {draw:rect} Few people would equate "Disney theme park" with "environmental threat." Most support Disney's wholesome brand of family entertainment because it offers people a respite from the stress of daily life. But Disney's friendly image has been under fire lately due to the financial woes of its Euro Disney park in France and over its current plans to build "Disney's America," an American history theme park, in rural Virginia. A careful look at Euro Disney and Disney's America reveals that…

    Disney Communication Vulnerabilities Essay

    I don’t believe Disney was thinking of anyone other than themselves and their bottom line when they dreamed up the idea of Disney America. If Disney had arrived in the Northern VA area a few years earlier and began with goodwill efforts, their message may have been better received. There would have been a level of trust developed between Disney and the community. Developing a rapport with the community first, Disney could have announced the theme park on their own terms and not through a newspaper leak. According to Cervone (2014), “effective communication needs to be done creatively if you are to reach a broad audience” (Cervone, 2014, p. 76). Disney is the epitome of creativity, I’m sure they could have found an entertaining way to communicate their message effectively. I can only image what unique storyboard they would have used to introduce their Disney America theme park…

    Walter Disney Accomplishments

    There is most likely no one in this country that has not heard of Disneyland, Disneyworld, or even Mickey Mouse. They are too popular to not know. Walt Disney had an idea of what the people wanted so he decided that he was going to make them come true because “all our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them” (Disney)(“Walter Elias Disney”). Walter Disney wanted to leave an impression on the world that all things are possible.

    Enterprise Strategy

    KISDA is a multi-national oil palm plantation company registered in Malaysia. In 2007, KISDA was granted a license to plant oil palm and manufacture palm oil by the National government of Makasa, a small African country whose economy is mainly based on agriculture. The National government of Makasa was very keen to develop its economy and saw oil palm plantation as an important aspect of this. The area where KISDA was granted the license is very remote and has no towns or cities nearby. There are small villages near the site of the oil palm farm. One of the conditions of the license is that KISDA would employ local people wherever possible, which it has done. KISDA is entitled under the terms of the license to dispose of the waste from the palm oil manufacturing wherever is convenient for it.…
