    Disney Strategic Planning Initiative

    Any organization would need to make sure it is on solid ground before taking a chance on growth and return. Strategically the initiative would be to build a relationship between three solid areas; sell the strategic need first, operational development, and financial planning. Our team paper will illustrate a strategic initiative for the Disney organization as well as identify an initiative discussed in Disney’s Annual Report. The focus will look at how the initiative affects Disney’s financial planning and explain how the initiative can affect the costs as well as sales within this organization. Last but not least, our paper will describe the risks associated with the initiative and financial effects the risks may have to the organization. The conclusion will recap the importance and value of the relationships between the strategic and financial planning initiatives within The Walt Disney Company.…

    Ol-600-04251 Strategic Human Resource Management

    The first concern would be the effect the change would have to our customers, shareholders, employees, departments, and the community. There would be plenty of communication session regarding the change. Employees would not only be given information about the positive and the negative aspects of the new concept but would have opportunities to ask questions and voice their concerns as well. This will help to do any problem-solving in the groundbreaking stage. One negative aspect of my organization is that the employees were not given any information or asked their opinions regarding the move. There should have been surveys, questionnaires or meetings to give and get some feedback. The strategies and goals of an organization rely on employees’ involvement as well as commitment. There would be plenty of training offered to everyone. The Human Resource Management aspects must include acquiring, preparing, compensating, and training and developing for the employees. There will need to be policies changes made as well, employees would be asked their input in developing the new policies. Boundaries that were previously established would be abandoned. I would start the virtual workplace with my managers/supervisors collaborating with my HR department. This team would be responsible for identifying the best talent “talentship” (Moore, 2007) and connecting…

    Disney Strategic Assessment

    Walt Disney Company for eighty years has captured the attentions of millions of people around the world, offering family entertainment at theme parks, resorts, recreations, movies, TV shows, radio programming, and memorabilia (David, 2009). Today, Walt Disney possesses four main business segments: Disney Consumer products, Studio Entertainment, Parks and Resorts, and Media Networks. Each of Disney's business units increased profits apart from its interactive division, which was recently restructured (Garrahan, 2011). By combining Disney's long history with the commitment to quality, Disney Consumer Products has had a large and steady presence in the toy marketplace (Anonymous, 2010). Studio entertainment has been somewhat of a problem for Disney and has not increased revenues by great percentages. Parks and Resorts increased revenue by 29 percent in 2006 and media networks increased revenue by 43 percent. The Media Network segment brings in the most revenue and operating income (David, 2009). This segment and the Parks & Resorts segments are growing.…

    Strategic Human Resources Management

    I have mixed impressions of Human Resource (HR) management, because of my experiences working in both the public and private sectors of health care within Canada. My impressions are both positive and negative because there is no consistently between organizations, which makes defining the role of HR quite difficult at times. In some organizations and ones that I personally own and operate with my family, we put great emphasize on HR, because it helps us create the environment and culture we wish to have. It is the staff we hire and train that help us stay successful, because I am a big believer that it is the team that makes the organization successful and not the other way around. However I also agree with Keith Hammonds statement which he expresses, “Most HR organizations have ghettoized themselves literally to the brink of obsolescence” (2005, p. 40). I feel this is true, when working in the public sector (government) for a large organization, I found they outsourced a lot of work by the HR department to sub-contractors because it was cheaper and saved the company more in the long run. However I do not understand why they would allow this, because I feel it undermines the HR department and why I have a mixed impression of HR management.…

    Organizational Structure of Walt Disney World

    Disney offers a wide variety of training for their employees at the Disney Institute, which was developed in 1986, and the benefits employees acquire supplement the organizational culture of the company. There is great thought that goes into the creation of training that benefit’s the massive number of employees throughout the Disney Company. The intense focus that Disney puts into each employee is easily paid back by great customer satisfaction that Disney maintains throughout the year. Training offers organizational behavior concepts such as: decision-making, motivation, group behavior, communication, organizational culture, organizational structure, and human resource practices (Waltz, 2007).…
