Mike W. Peng is the Jindal Chair of Global Business Strategy at the Jindal School of Mana gement, University of Texas at Dallas. He is also a National Sci ence Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award win ner and a Fellow of the Academy of Interna tional Business (AIB). At UT Dallas, he has
been the numberone contributor to the list of 50 top journals tracked by Financial Times, which has consis tently ranked UT Dallas as a top 20 school in research worldwide.
Professor Peng holds a bachelor’s degree from Winona State University, Minnesota, and a PhD from the University of Washington, Seattle. He had previously served on the faculty at the Ohio State University, Uni versity of Hawaii, and Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has taught in five states in the United States (Hawaii, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington), as well as in China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. He has also held visit ing or courtesy appointments in Australia, Britain, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, and the United States, and lectured around the world.
Professor Peng is one of the mostprolific and most influential scholars in international business (IB). Both the United Nations and the World Bank have cited his work. During the decade 1996–2006, he was the top seven contributor to IB’s numberone premier outlet: Journal of International Business Studies. In 2015, he received the Journal of International Business Stud- ies Decade Award. A Journal of Management article found him to be among the top 65 most widely cited management scholars, and an Academy of Management Perspectives study reported that he is the fourthmost influential management scholar among professors who have obtained their PhD since 1991. Overall, Professor Peng has published more than 140 articles in leading journals and five books. Since the launch of GLOBAL, he has not only published in top IB journals, such as the Academy of Management Journal, Journal of
International Business Studies, Journal of World Busi- ness, and Strategic Management Journal, but also in leading outlets in entrepreneurship (Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice), ethics (Journal of Business Ethics), human resources (International Journal of Human Resource Management), and engineering management (IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management).
Used in more than 30 countries, Professor Peng’s best selling textbooks, Global Business, Global Strategy, and GLOBAL, are global market leaders that have been trans lated into Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish. A European adaptation (with Klaus Meyer) and an Indian adaptation (with Deepak Srivastava) have been successfully launched.
Truly global in scope, Professor Peng’s research has investigated firm strategies in Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. He is best known for his development of the institutionbased view of strategy and his insights about the rise of emerging economies such as China in global business. With more than 29,000 Google citations and an Hindex of 69, he is listed among The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds (compiled by Thomson Reuters based on cita tions covering 21 fields)—in the field of eco nomics and business, he is one of the only 70 worldclass scholars listed and the only IB textbook author listed.
Professor Peng is active in leadership positions. He has served on the editorial boards of the AMJ, AMP, AMR, JIBS, JMS, JWB, and SMJ; and guestedited a special issue for the JMS. At AIB, he cochaired the AIB/JIBS Frontiers Conference in San Diego (2006), guestedited a JIBS special issue (2010), chaired the Emerging and Transition Economies track for the Nagoya conference (2011), and chaired the Richard Farmer Best Dissertation Award Committee for the Washington con ference (2012).

He served one term as EditorinChief of the Asia Pacific Journal of Management.

CHAPTER 1 Globalizing Business
E M E R G I N G M A R K E T S / E T H I C A L D I L E M M A Opening Case: Shanghai Disneyland
On June 16, 2016, the world’s biggest Disneyland opened in Shanghai with a great deal of fanfare. It
features a supersize castle that is 200-feet tall. In comparison, the height for similar castles in Anaheim,
California, and Orlando, Florida, is 77 feet and 180 feet, respectively. Approximately 80% of the Shanghai rides, such as the Tron Lightcycle Roller Coaster, are unique. Chinese elements are extensively found. The flagship restaurant, the Wandering Moon Teahouse, has sections representing different regions of China. Some old staples found in other Disney parks, such as Main Street USA, Jungle Cruise, and Space Mountain, have been banished—in fear of criticisms for cultural imperialism. “Authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese” is an interesting tagline coined by Robert Iger, chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company (“Disney” hereafter). More than 330 million people live within a three-hour drive or train ride. Disney is eager to turn them into lifelong customers not only for the $5.5 billion theme park, but also for movies, games, toys, clothes, books, TV programs, cruises, and resorts.
Mickey’s journey to the Middle Kingdom has been a tortuous one. The two-decade courtship started in the late 1990s, when Jiang Zemin was president of China and Michael Eisner chairman and CEO of Disney. At that time, Disney was starting to have some success in China, with its cartoon series aired on Sunday evenings by major TV stations. Then Disney launched a movie about the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, Kundun, which attracted the wrath of the Chinese government. “All of our business in China stopped overnight,” Eisner recalled. Out of desperation, Disney hired as a consultant former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who spearheaded American efforts to establish diplomatic ties with China in the 1970s and was regarded as a trustworthy friend by the Chinese. The Chinese government only agreed to reopen China after intense lobbying by Kissinger and humiliating apologies by Eisner, who admitted Kundun was “a stupid mistake” in meetings with Chinese officials. Financially, Kundun was indeed a stupid mistake. It burned through a $30 million budget to reap only $5 million box office receipts.
Eisner then introduced Iger, Disney’s international president at that time, to be in charge of negotiations for a theme park. The negotiations were slow and painful. Looking back, Iger, who succeeded Eisner as CEO in 2005 and as chairman in 2012, recalled in a New York Times interview that he had “engaged with three [Chinese] presidents, a few premiers, a number of vice premiers, a number of [Communist] Party secretaries, and five or six mayors of Shanghai.”
By 2009, the Chinese government finally gave its blessing, but only after Disney agreed to be a minority partner. Disney took a 43% stake in the Shanghai Disney Resort. Shanghai Disney Resort would not only include the flagship Shanghai Disneyland, but also two additional theme parks, two themed hotels,
shopping malls, and entertainment facilities—when completed it would be three times the size of Hong Kong Disneyland. Disney’s joint venture (JV) partner, the state-owned Shanghai Shendi Group controlled by the Shanghai government, owned a 57% stake. In the management company that actually ran the property, Disney gave up a 30% piece. In comparison, the Hong Kong government gave a 48% share to Disney for the JV that owned Hong Kong Disneyland, and the government itself took 52%. Disney gave up no management control in Hong Kong.
Why was Disney so eager to go to China? Although China’s pull in terms of market size and potential is obvious, Disney is also pushed by its lackluster performance in other areas such as cable, movies, and some of its other theme parks. In April 2011, Shanghai Disneyland broke ground, with Iger and Chinese officials scooping up loose dirt, Mickey and Minnie Mouse frolicking in Chinese costumes, and a children’s choir singing When You Wish Upon a Star—in Mandarin. Despite such hoopla, there was no guarantee that Disney’s high-profile entry would be profitable. Exhibit A: Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992, is still struggling to reach profitability.
For Shanghai Disneyland, the attention to detail was meticulous. In addition to the tremendous efforts to showcase local responsiveness, with 80% of the rides being uniquely tailored to local interests, Iger also pre-tasted the food (such as Donald Duck-shaped waffles) and decided which characters would appear in the parade. When first unveiled in March 2016, Shanghai Disneyland’s website registered 5 million hits within 30 minutes. The first two weeks of tickets sold out in hours.
Yet as Shanghai Disneyland celebrated its first Chinese New Year in January 2017, disappointing news came. In its first six months ending on December 31, 2016, 5.6 million guests came. Although impressive, these numbers fell far short of rosy initial projections of an estimated 15 million visitors for the first year. If attendance continued at its current pace, then the first full-year result would barely reach over 10 million. In the Disney universe, 10 million visitors in the first year would not be too bad, as Hong Kong only attracted seven million in 2015—its 11th year. In comparison, in 2015, Tokyo reported 17 million; Anaheim 18 million; and Orlando 19 million. Although these sister parks are a lot more established, Shanghai Disneyland clearly has a long way to go. As the Magic Kingdom embarks on its residence in the Middle Kingdom, one thing is clear: this China business is not going to be Mickey Mousy.
