A Brawl in Mickey 's Backyard

A Brawl in Mickey 's Backyard Who are the relevant market and nonmarket stakeholders in this situation? And what possible solutions to this dispute do you think might emerge from dialogue between SunCal and its stakeholders? I believe that the market stockholders are the actual stockholder’s themselves, the creditors and employees. Oh and of course the customers I believe fall under this category as well. I think these market stockholders would feel threatened with the housing because they fear it may draw undesirable rift raft and it would make people thing it wasn’t as nice as a place as it once as. This could really damage their business plan of a magical environment. This could mean less business which in turns leads to less income. So that’s where the creditors would feel it in their pockets, and that would not be good at all as they would provide less credit which would in turn hurt Disney. The nonmarket stakeholders are the community itself, they all benefit from the revenue that Disney pulls in. The smaller business would feel the effect in a big way. Which in turn hurts the way taxed are paid and may cause smaller business to fail. I’m sure there are other effects but I’m a little green in this area and a not quite sure if I got my point across. When it gets down to it I think that low income housing is a must for the employees, so they can support their families and actually make a living since their wages are low and the housing is so expensive.
I don’t think there I a solution that will make everyone happy but everyone needs to compromise a little bit and make life a little easier on the people who actually work and make Disney the place it is. What about building the low income housing for the people but instead of it being in the resort area, why not build it right outside the resort area where it is still close enough for

    As Schepers realized it: “When the checks and balances in public thinking and action are weakened or absent, management of potential or real side-effects disappears from the public radar screen and a systemic crisis is in the making” (476). Public governance is a relevant subject on the context of the Disney’s theme park that due to lack of it, oppositions grew at large to balance the positive consequences versus the negative expectations of the public. In fact, according to Van Wart, this balance is difficult to achieve as more variables come into place, such as “economic demands,” “political trends and rapid introduction of varying technologies…

    The issue in the case of “A Brawl in Mickey’s Backyard” is that the employees at Disney feel that they are not treated well by the famous theme park owners going so far as to say that “they want to make money [referring to Disney], but they don’t care about the employees”. The uproar and the sentiment was expressed more vigorously in the opening scene of the case, when dozens of protestors gathered in August of 2007 to stage a kit to express their open displeasure at Disney’s lack of support for their employees. The protest was instigated when a local developer called SunCal arranged to buy 26 acre site in the resort district across the street from the theme park. SunCal plans were to build 1,500 condominiums with 15% of the units set aside for below the market rate rental apartments. Since housing in Anaheim, California [the home to the Disney theme park] was expensive, many of Disney’s 20,000 employees couldn’t afford to live there. The average price of a house in the vicinity was more than $600,000 and a rental of a one bedroom apartment was $1400 a month. Keeping in mind custodians at the park earned an average of $1916 a month so that would leave them with only about $500 of their salary barely enough to sustain them for the rest of the month! Also, keep in mind that restaurant attendants earn around $1166 a month, so a rental is out of the question, which brings us to the fact that only about 18% of the resort employees are able to afford living in the area. The 16400 employees are left to commute long distances by car or bus to get to work.…

    4. The sources of power the relevant stakeholders have are different. Disney employees have political power and can protest in front of City Hall. The Disney company and the Chamber of Commerce have political power as major taxpayers and can influence politicians. They also have legal power to stop SunCal on the grounds because the condos would prevent development in the resort area. The City…
