Reduced advertising revenue, fare in the complex theme park and revenue from the DVD release reduce the negative impact to profitability. Cable television division revenue decreased 8%. 2. 2 The Cultural Environment Through this environment, we can know the cultural values and social attitudes of he people. Each environment may be an opportunity but also a threat for any company. These are intangible factors but have a large role, especially as it affects the psychology and buying behavior of customers.
Particularly the sustainability of the core cultural values and specific cultural factors will greatly affect marketing decisions, therefore, not only as marketing staff that any company taking customer focus needs to be addressed. Disneyland is one of the pride of the American people, the success in California, USA and Tokyo – Japan has confirmed more prestigious and competitive position of Disney. But to our surprise that it was this giant failure on the “battlefield” in Europe. When vaguely intend to open another theme park of Disney, more than 200 localities worldwide has proposed Disney park at their hometown.
Paris was chosen because more than 17 million Europeans live within a radius of two hours by car to Paris, 310 million people could fly there in that time or less. Moreover, the French government has drawn Disney with all kinds of incentives with a total value of more than $ 1 billion because of the hope that the project will create about 30,000 Jobs for France . But the lack of understanding of cultural European culture has created a barrier separating the Disney executives to succeed. Shortly after the Euro – Disneyland opened , the gates of the park were French farmers tractor knocked down.
After that there are problems in the operation process, Disney has a policy of not serving alcohol in the park and it surprised the people of the country that each meal with a glass of wine of course. Disney thought that: Monday is the day away, while Friday was crowded day and arrange staff to think that, but in fact quite the opposite. Disney heard that: the French do not eat breakfast should build small restaurant when in fact everyone has had breakfast. So put in the right situation for 2500 dining in a 350 seat restaurant.
But the biggest problem of the Euro Disneyland as Europeans seem to consider the park is the place to go during the day, not resting place so they are usually in 1 – 2 days. Meanwhile Disney plans to stay long should have invested billions of dollars to build the luxury hotels near park and most of the time about half of the rooms are empty, the number of visitors and the French do not East as Disney plans: in 1994 only 40% of the total. Many tourists are Americans living in Europe and Japan on vacation in Europe! As a result , by the end of 1994, Euro- Disneyland losses totaling $ 2 billion. Disney was forced to change strategy.
First of all, the name was changed to Disneyland Paris park ; design, food and style of service is changed. The items sold in the gift shop also carry features of Disney rather than bring French style. Finally, admission and discount hotel rooms are down 1/3. The 1996. 2. 3 The Natural Environment Geographical location: United States is located in North America, eastern is North Atlantic, western is North Pacific, the northern border with Canada, and the southern border with Mexico.

Japan is one extreme, because there everyone is Japanese, and the United States, located at the other extreme, because people originating from almost all countries. Each population group has certain expectations and certain shopping habits. – Depending on your age, sex and physiological changes, the animated character be the children loved transformed” from the prince, princess, superhero or Barbie dolls, from the heroes in fiction to sports athletes, from the famous singer to the circus clown, from cartoon characters to the real example.
Capture those characteristics Walt Disney Company, the owner of numerous children’s favorite characters on a global scale.
