Introduction

The Happiest Place on Earth - Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Or is it actually Disneyland in Anaheim, California? Both parks have similar attractions and philosophies, but the size and amenities of the two locations create a clear preference of visitors for one park over the other. That preference, however, depends on the personal likes and dislikes of the families who visit the two parks.

Difference: Size

The two parks are different in that they are of vastly different size. Disney World, located near Orlando, Florida on the east coast covers about 43 square miles. (Dayao, 2014) It encompasses four separate ...

My earliest childhood memories are mostly devoid of color, except for one. Pink. That was what I was surrounded with as a child. That was the color of my first notebook, my schoolbag, and my pencil case. The color pink was something that was to determine the course of my life to come. A part of this present notion dates back to antiquity, men have been called hunters and women have been assigned the role of homemakers. Apparently, Walt Disney seems to agree to it. Father's hunting in the forest, mother's cooking in the home is a rhyming tune ...

Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs provides an appealing story with various themes and messages. Originally aired in 1937, the film now appears dated; as could be expected, it is rooted in its period. It is culturally important as the globe’s first full-length cartoon, but watching it against the backdrop of today’s society exposes the film’s stereotypes and attitudes towards romantic love. A feminist critique reveals the abusive and superficial nature of romance in the film, whereas an anti-capitalist analysis of the story demonstrates the strong links between money and power. Snow White ...

The Mars Climate Orbiter: A Multimillion Dollar Mistake

The Story Grossman (1999) addresses the incident of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter in her article named “Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission”. She explains how a simple unit conversion mistake caused the Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere. The vessel costed NASA a whopping $125 million when it vanished into the Martian atmosphere. The problem, later identified by a NASA review board, owed to a software glitch. The software was used to calculate the thrust in “pounds of force” while the other software took the input in “newtons”. This happened due to the fact that ...

Counter Measures to the Bullwhip Effect

Introduction The bullwhip effect is the unexpected distortion of the supply chain. It refers to the “variability of order rates” (Disney and Lambrecht, 2008, p. 3). This supply chain hazard has its roots in Jay Forrester’s Industrial Dynamics Theory of the late 1950s (Goldsby and Martichenko, 2005). Forrester was the first person to introduce the concept and simulate a model in 1961. There are many solutions to counter the bullwhip effect. The reason why there are many solutions to the bullwhip effect is because it is triggered by multiple causes. For instance, the most common cause is overreacting ...

It is hard to believe in the modern world of ubiquitous portfolios, but Walt Disney met one of the most important animators that he would ever hire in an ice cream shop. Disney had first been impressed by the lettering that the young Clark had done for the menus. When Clark left the ice cream shop, Disney took him on, telling him that the gig might be a temporary one. However, that turned into the longest temporary job ever, going all the way to 1975, when Clark retired (“Les Clark”). Given the vast amount of work that the Disney ...

Out of the five stocks, in my opinion, Disney presents the highest risk as it has the worst Beta and the worst Short Ratio. This would mean that the price volatility is the highest and the number of short trades is also high, further pushing up the risk. Next is Ford, with second highest Beta, second highest Short Ratio and lowest RoA. This would mean that the company is not very efficient in generating net income from its assets, thus increasing the risk. Next is Microsoft with the third highest Beta, highest P/E ratio and lowest ROE. This means ...

Question One

In business, political risks give an implication of the political decisions that could have adverse effects on the goals and profits of businesses operating in the specified country. Objectively, the sources of political risks in many countries are the policies that a country chooses to adopt to control the nature of business that companies operating within its borders have to observe. However, the levels of political competition among politicians and the levels of political tolerance among their supporters also give an indication of the nature of the political risks a company is likely to face when operating in a ...

Fairy tales lure children with their simple and easy to understand style and magic in the story.

The common character in any fairy tale is an imaginary being with magical powers. For Example, in “the Cinderella” story, the protagonist, Cinderella gets gold dress and jewelry out of the blue from the fairy godmother in one version or the tree near her mother’s grave in another version of the story. These supernatural powers do not represent the real world. Inculcating this false view of the world through fictional fantasy in children, who are very impressionable in the young ages, causes insidious harm to them. Instead of fostering spirit of scientific thinking, they are doing the exact ...

What was the fundamental flaw in the Euro Disney development process?

After the success of American and Japanese Disneylands, there were no doubts about the bright future of the French one. The executives paid much more attention to the size of Euro Disney, rather than to the huge enterprise. They focused people’s attention to the price they invested into Euro Disney, which was approximately 30 times bigger than French inverstors usually fund into similar leasure parks (Hartley, 2010). Executives emphasized that they are paying much more attention to the details and, hence, could create the most comfortable place ever.

Unlike the eras that came before it, the postmodern era focused on the individual and whether or not personal authenticity is truly possible. In order to determine if personal authenticity is achievable though, one has to first take into consideration what individualism means. According to Elliot and Lemert, individualism involves a “denial of social connection” (Elliot & Lemert 2009, p. 3-4), in other words “the individualist creed was premised on the assumption that people should leave it to others to deal with their own problems and to get on with the living of life on their own terms” (Elliot & Lemert ...
