As I was brushing my teeth this morning I was thinking about what I have read off-and-on on this board for a while:
** that the Parks carry the company.**
It seems this is still true even with all of the hoopla since 9/11. I do have enough knowledge of the economy of corporations to know that it is wise to diversify their product for many reasons including:1) to make themselves big fish which are harder to swallow (take over) 2) to provide corporate stability (when demand for one sector of their market falters, the others carry it) *BUT* ( finally, the question!)
why does the Disney corporation continue to put it's money into media when it has been proven time and again that what people want is wholesome family experiences? I understand that the Broadway shows have been successful, and of course you have to stay true to the Vision that started it all by making films that EVERYONE can enjoy- but what is with wanting to be mega media mights? Why? Doesn't that dilute what made Disney great to begin with? If the Parks are always carrying the load, why don't they dump some of the other sectors and consolodate?
Does anybody understand their business strategy here????
"Thanks for noticin' me...."
I have added more questions in the post at the bottom of this page for your kind consideration
