The Walt Disney Company Case Study

1 FCU e-Paper (2016-2017)

Abstract

In an ever-changing world, we researched how a company like Disney and more

particularly the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts division can become and stay a leader

in its industry.

We analyzed the different levels of strategy, created a strategic map, applied a

five forces analysis of the company, did a group analysis, did a VRIS and

Resource/Analysis, did a BCG matrix and Synergy analysis, a value chain analysis,

explained the diversification strategy.

These researches allowed us to define the key point that makes Disney the

reference in the amusement park industry: offer a unique, immersive and positive

experience to each visitor through a great storytelling that is constantly renewed. The

future success of the company depends on its ability to innovate and keep delivering

an outstanding user experience.
