McDaniel-Fankhauser Chadron State College Disney Theme Park Guest Services: MyMagic+ Discussion The Disney theme parks have utilized a method of customizing guest experiences utilizing a state-of-the art technology called MyMagic+. For guests, it allows them to purchase a Magic Band to enhance their experience at Walt Disney World, and also provides convenience for those guests by enabling them to link their room key, payment methods and other needs or desires to their band, reducing the amount of items that the guest would need to carry with them during their time in the park. It also cuts back on the time needed to enjoy those experiences by streamlining the guests’ visit. For the park, it enables staff to monitor the activities of the guests, as well as accessing those specific desires stated by the guest so that the staff can cater to those needs more fully and efficiently. Other things stored by the bands include personal information, so that a guests’ visit can be further enhanced. For example, staff can be notified of a guests’ birthday so they can have characters at the park approach the birthday boy or girl to wish them a joyous day. Business and Industry The Walt Disney Company is known around the world for entertainment and magic.

...Historical Development of Nursing Timeline Nursing has evolved greatly as a profession. Nursing has become an independent practice with its own theory practice, models and distinct interventions (George, 2011). Through the years, nursing leaders have developed many nursing theories that guide our practice today. Their research and contributions to the nursing profession has shaped our present-day practices. This paper will delineate the historic development of nursing science, focusing on the most widely known and used theories. This paper will also canvass the influences of these concepts in the development of the nursing profession, and multidisciplinary influences. Development of Nursing Science Florence Nightingale (1859) Florence Nightingale is considered the mother of nursing. In 1859, Nightingale published her book Notes on Nursing that has “directed nursing practice for over 150 years” (George, 2011, p. 9). She believed that the force for healing resides within the human being and that if the environment is appropriately supportive, humans will seek to heal themselves” (George, 2011, p. 25). Her environmental theory is a valuable concept, which is the basis of nursing practice today. It is applied in all the fields of nursing. 1950s Theories Hildegard Peplau (1952). Hildegard Peplau introduced her interpersonal theory. Her theory focused on the relationship of the nurse and the patient. She believed that there is growth for each individual- the nurse and the...

...Disney Case Analysis 3. What sort of company did Eisner inherit? Provide a brief summary of the company at the time Eisner took over (discuss each of its business lines in 1-2 sentences that highlight the most important issues). Eisner inherited a family entertainment company that began as a nonhierarchical organization where no one had titles and everyone was on a first name basis. Walt’s theory was that you didn’t need a title because you knew if you were important. Disney’s philosophy was to create universal timeless family entertainment and believed in the importance of family life maintaining its adherence to the Disney formula for family recreation. The company believed and always aimed to provide an experience that the families would be able to participate in and take joy in together and always with a commitment to excellent in all facets of the business. When Eisner took over the company’s financial performance had deteriorated. Disney was incurring heavy costs trying to complete projects on time i.e. EPCOT center and Euro Disney and the Disney Channel. He viewed “managing creativity” as Disney’s most distinctive corporate skill and pursued with the development of synergy through vertical integration. With this philosophy, Eisner inspired and managed Disney. Disney mushroomed with Eisner’s extreme corporate vision which he targeted at an annual revenue growth target and return on stockholders’...

...Running header: E-WASTE IN INDONESIA 1 E-Waste in Indonesia: Implementing Clear Standards and Integrating the Informal Sector Donald P. Santoso ERM 428 Spring 2015 Arizona State University 2 E-WASTE IN INDONESIA Abstract While economic development gives rise to markets of emerging technologies, it also creates an emerging global issue in the management of the electronic waste (e-waste) it generates. Unfortunately Moore’s Law, which articulates that technological advancements follow an exponential upward growth every year, does not apply to the innovation in recycling that technology. E-waste is a term for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). These products and components can range from home appliances to consumer electronics; they are defined as e-waste once they reach the end of life, and no longer retain value through its intended function. The European Union (EU) estimates that the amount of global WEE increases 3-5% annually, equivalent to three times the growth of other categories of solid waste (Schwarzer, 2005). Electronic products have become extremely affordable in today’s economy, making it increasingly cheaper to replace these goods rather than fix them. Interval updates in the electronic sector also encourages pre-mature obsolescence of many products (Agamuthu et al., 2012). These factors contribute to a high turnover rate of electronics in the market. As a consequence, there is little incentive for both the industry and...

Introduction INTRODUCTION “We could be getting close to the time for a major Disney attraction in the world’s most populous nation.” 1 “I am completely confident that Chinese people love Mickey no less than they love a Big Mac.” 2 Early in 1999, Michael Eisner, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, voiced his opinions concerning potential markets for his firm’s entertainment products and services. A major thrust for the new millenium would be development in Asia. The firm had now achieved a certain level of experience with owning and/or managing assets and operations outside the United States...

...factors must be taken into consideration, such as financial considerations, marketing communication, intended marketing objectives for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 as well as other factors. Disney’s Frozen products are being launched into a highly competitive industry, thus it is important to use proper marketing strategies to have a successful product launch. Executive Summary Disney will launch the Frozen product line in Shanghai, China and Orlando, Florida. Due to the success of the Disney animated movie, Frozen; children have demanded Frozen themed merchandise. The merchandise will include tee shirts, stuffed animals, costumes, dolls, and soundtracks. These items are popular with children and sell consistently. Disney stores have a difficult time keeping up with consumer’s demands. Consumers are waiting in long lines and willing to pay double the cost to purchase the Frozen merchandise. Mattel has sold more than $100 million worth of Frozen toys (Age, 2014). Situational Analysis In Florida, Disney’s competitors are Universal Studios, Sea World and Six Flags. These competitors provide some of the same services to consumers. However, only Disney has the Frozen products that children are currently clamoring for. Disney’s target market is children and families. Of concern to Disney in Florida, is knock-off Frozen products. While they look similar, they are of inferior quality and do not have the Disney trademark. The Frozen product line is a Disney exclusive and can only...

...people she met (mainly the Anglo-Irish gentry) are as ambivalent as her now infamous reading of James Joyce’s Ulysses. But Woolf’s response to Ireland, and more particularly to Irish writing is only part of the story. As a contemporary, how was Woolf read in Ireland, if she was read at all, and what, if any, impact has she had on Irish writing? For the contemplation of “Virginia Woolf in Ireland,” both as a traveler and a reader of Irish culture, politics and literature, and as someone to be read through her various publications, provokes a proliferation of research possibilities about both writer and country. In this essay I wish to sketch out a preliminary map of these possibilities, showing some of the potentially complex and intriguing routes that require further exploration, in relation to Woolf studies, in particular the European Reception of Woolf, and in relation to Ireland and its own literary history. So the paper is divided into three sections: briefly, Virginia Woolf literally in Ireland, reading Virginia Woolf in Ireland from the 1920s on, and three Irish women reading Woolf–Elizabeth Bowen, Mary Lavin and Edna O’Brien.1 Woolf’s interest in Ireland before and after her visit there is evident from her diaries, letters and fiction. Her concern and knowledge about Irish affairs2 emerges most forcefully in the novel The Years, where, as Jane Marcus points out, “The theme of the search for ‘justice and liberty,’ first expressed by...

...WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS, JUNE 1984 One of the best examples of service through people is Walt Disney Productions… How Disney looks upon people, internally and externally, handles them, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the basic foundation upon which its five decades of success stand. —Peters and Waterman, In Search of Excellence In Search of Excellence didn’t simplify enough! In the private or public sector, in big business or small, we observe that there are only two ways to create and sustain superior performance over the long haul. First, take exceptional care of your customers via superior service and superior quality. Second, constantly innovate. That’s it. There are no alternatives in achieving long-term superior performance. Financial control is vital but one does not sell financial control. —Peters and Austin, A Passion for Excellence Ron Miller, president and chief executive officer of Disney Productions Inc., pondered the essence of his dilemma. For the past two-and-a-half months, his company had been the subject of a takeover attempt by Saul Steinberg, a well-known raider. The attempt had started innocently enough with the announcement of the purchase of 6.3% of Disney’s outstanding common stock. In subsequent announcements, Steinberg’s holdings rose to 12.1%. When Steinberg announced his intention of acquiring 25% of Disney, Miller undertook a series of evasive actions, including the purchase of Arvida Corporation for $200 million in common...

It is a common agreement that morality is located within the scope of duty. Kant corroborates this held agreement by stating the categorical imperative which every human is obliged to act upon. He conceived this categorical imperative as the moral law which all those who claim to be moral beings have to live on. However, he also affirmed...
