... International Modes of Entry: The Case of Disney 1 Abstract The case of Disney’s theme parks represents an opportunity to test major internationalisation theories in a setting of large investments with little chance for reversal of commitments. The purpose of the research is to study the benefit of different entry modes dependent on Disney’s Theme Parks value-generating resources and capabilities while conditioned to certain local industrial and institutional conditions in foreign markets. Five major theories and frameworks were used to analyze all four Disney’s ventures abroad. This resulted in 20 individual hypotheses analyzed. Results indicate that Disney followed a predictable internationalisation process in the cases of Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai, but that it went off-path in the Paris one. In successful cases Disney followed a cautious approach, involving local partners to transfer and adapt the “Disney Experience”. In the case of Paris the company decided to enter the market alone, which neglected the unique needs of the local market.

...RESEARCH ARTICLE International Journal of Multidisciplinary and Scientific Emerging Research ©2014 IJMSER, All Rights Reserved Available at http://www.ijmser.com/ (ISSN 2349 – 6037) Performance of Insurance Industry in India: A Critical Analysis B. Nagaraja, PhD Associate Professor Department of Economics, Sri Venkateswara University College of Arts, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati (India) Accepted 30 January 2015, Available online 14 March 2015, Vol.4, No.1 (March 2015) Abstract There is ample empirical evidence to vindicate the relationship between the performance of insurance industry and economic development. In spite of it, there is a dearth of empirical research in developing countries and analytical studies are limited in number, particularly in developing countries like India, where the insurance penetration and density are very low compared with international levels. In India, the growth rate of number of new policies issued and the insurance premium are experiencing a negative trend for the last three years. Reasons and contributing factors for this state of affairs is highly essential. The present paper primarily deals with these aspects of insurance industry and a comparative analysis of both private and public sectors of life and non-life insurance industry. Four indicators-Premium incomes, Market Share, New Policies Issued and Claims Settlement Ratio-- have been used to analyze the performance of Insurance industry. Besides, an overview...
