Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: 2,3, , language: English, abstract: This paper will look into the benefits of international market research for a global company like The Walt Disney Company when expanding to foreign markets on the example of the financial disaster of Disneyland Paris. After an introduction to international market research and the Walt Disney Company, secondary market data of Disneyland California and Paris will be compared. From the data a conclusion will be drawn, if a global company like the Walt Disney Company can operate with only one market concept or if international market research and a small adaptation of the concept to the foreign market has any significant benefits in terms of market success. Nowadays, the Walt Disney Company is known all over the world. It has set up different businesses in over 40 countries, including six Disneyland resorts. When Walter Elias Disney created the plan for the first Disneyland , the Disneyland Resort in California, he had a vision of a constantly growing and changing amusement park full of imagination. After Walter Elias' death and the financial success of the first Disneyland in California, the Walt Disney Company tried to continue to fulfill his vision. They created new Disneyland’s in Florida, Tokyo, France, Hongkong and Shanghai. All of the amusement parks generated huge profits for the Walt Disney Company except Disneyland Paris, which makes losses of nearly €2 billion. As the Disneyland concept worked in California, Florida and Tokyo, the Walt Disney Company did not consider it as necessary to do profound market research before opening Disneyland Paris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,3, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Pinneberg, course: Market Research, language: English, abstract: Companies constantly have to make decisions about the products and services they offer. In order to create successful products and services, it is necessary to know how consumers can become customers. Therefore it is essential for a company to under- stand who their (potential) customers as well as (potential) competitors are. Accord- ing to Kotler/Keller, it is “the job of marketing researchers to produce insight into the customer’s attitude and buying behavior”. Over the last years, the Internet has been a fast developing technology. Especially services like email or chat-rooms are used in everyday life by millions of people.2 The usage of the Internet has spread very fast through nearly the whole society. It is estimated that today nearly 67% of U.S. households have access to the Internet. Kotler/Keller state that online research “[...] was estimated to make up 33 % of all survey-based research in 2006, and Internet-based questionnaires also accounted for nearly one-third of U.S. spending in market research surveys in the same year”. This raises the question whether the Internet is a suitable device for market research. This paper will discuss the use of the Internet for conducting market research on sales markets. First, the concept of market research, as well as what is understood by the term ‘Internet’, will be defined. Thereafter it will be discussed whether and how the Internet can be of assistance to market research.
Download or read book Disney His Worlds written by Alan Bryman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides an overview of the Disney organization, in particular the theme parks and their significance for contemporary culture. The author examines topics such as Walt Disney's life and how his biography has been constructed, the Disney Company in the years after his death and various writings about the Disney theme parks. He raises important issues about the parks such as: whether they are harbringers of postmodernism; the significance of consumption at the parks; and the representation of past and future. The discussion of theme parks links with the presentation of Disney's biography and his organization by showing how central economic and business considerations have been in their development and how the significance of these considerations is typically marginalized in order to place an emphasis on fantasy and magic.

Download or read book Imagining the Global written by Fabienne Darling-Wolf and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a series of case studies of globally distributed media and their reception in different parts of the world, Imagining the Global reflects on what contemporary global culture can teach us about transnational cultural dynamics in the 21st century. A focused multisited cultural analysis that reflects on the symbiotic relationship between the local, the national, and the global, it also explores how individuals’ consumption of global media shapes their imagination of both faraway places and their own local lives. Chosen for their continuing influence, historical relationships, and different geopolitical positions, the case sites of France, Japan, and the United States provide opportunities to move beyond common dichotomies between East and West, or United States and “the rest.” From a theoretical point of view, Imagining the Global endeavors to answer the question of how one locale can help us understand another locale. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources—several years of fieldwork; extensive participant observation; more than 80 formal interviews with some 160 media consumers (and occasionally producers) in France, Japan, and the United States; and analyses of media in different languages—author Fabienne Darling-Wolf considers how global culture intersects with other significant identity factors, including gender, race, class, and geography. Imagining the Global investigates who gets to participate in and who gets excluded from global media representation, as well as how and why the distinction matters.
Download or read book Girlhood on Disney Channel written by Morgan Genevieve Blue and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 2000s, Disney Channel has been dominated by original live-action programming popular among tween girls. The shows’ successes rely not only on their popularity among girl audiences, but also on the development of star personae by girl performers, such as Raven-Symoné, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez. In addition, these programs and their performers have spawned lucrative media and merchandising franchises for the Walt Disney Company. This book includes analyses of this Disney Channel programming, as well as Disney corporate reports and executive statements, together with Disney Channel stars’ performances, promotional appearances, media production, philanthropic efforts, and entrepreneurism. Analyzing these texts, performances, activities, and personae, it considers the ways in which they reproduce celebrity, visibility, and feminine performativity as central to successful twenty-first century girlhood.

Download or read book The Marketing Era written by Kalman Applbaum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketing has situated itself as an indispensable tool in today's business world-an unavoidable step in the process from production to consumption. This book is the first of its kind to map out the organizing principles and cultural logic of marketing, and trace the profession's ascent to global domination. Applbaum argues that marketing can be seen as a particular set of cultural practices that surfaced in reaction to the affluence of Western society, and not the answer to the call of inherent human needs and wants. In order to understand globalization, transnational corporations, and the spread of consumer culture, one must understand the logic of marketing.

Download or read book The Disneyization of Society written by Alan Bryman and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-06-09 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Alan Bryman has expanded on his internationally well-known work on Disney theme parks and Disneyization to create a fascinating and highly readable book. It should prove of interest to beginning students in a number of different courses and fields, as well as to scholars interested in culture and consumption. There is no question that the model created by Disney, and emulated in whole or in part by many organizations and in many settings, will continue to influence social structure and culture well into the future. This is an important book about a significant social process. And, it manages to be a fun read, as well!' - George Ritzer, author of McDonaldization and Professor of Sociology, University of Maryland `Bryman's analysis of contemporay consumption is full of detail and provides a host of examples ranging from restaurants and hotels, to theme parks, zoos and sports stadia. Without doubt students will find it an accessible text, one that should allow them to think about consumption, familiar consumer products, settings and activities, sociologically' - Barry Smart, Professor of Sociology, University of Portsmouth `Bryman's dissection of Disneyization is a timely and significant contribution to the growing literature on Disney. In fact, his excellent analysis of the extension of Disneyization throughout society explains why we should care about the Disney phenomenon at all. This is not only an important book for Disney scholars, but for any one interested in the future of modern society' - Janet Wasko Professor of Communication Studies, University of Oregon This is an agenda-setting new work in the sociology of culture and modern society. It argues that the contemporary world is increasingly converging towards the characteristics of the Disney theme parks. This process of convergence is revealed in: the growing influence of themed environments in settings like restaurants, shops, hotels, tourism and zoos; the growing trend towards social environments that are driven by combinations of forms of consumption: shopping, eating out, gambling, visiting the cinema, watching sports; the growth in cachet awarded to brands based on licensed merchandise; and the increased prominence of work that is a performance in which the employees have to display certain emotions and generally convey impressions as though working in a theatrical event. This insightful book demonstrates the importance of control and surveillance in consumer culture. Of interest to a wide variety of students studying in business, sociology, cultural studies, media studies and leisure studies courses this will also be of interest to anybody interested in understanding the intricacies of modern society.
