According to our text, “critical thinking skills help you identify the problem or goal, brainstorm solutions, interpret data correctly, weigh the options logically, and efficiently organize the implementation and revision of your plan” (Soomo Learning). Businesses realize that critical thinking is crucial in day-to-day decisions. With an ever-changing world we live in, business need to adapt to the change by using critcial thinking to continue to make profits. Many companies rely on diversification in order to stay up to date, increase profit, and grow. Disney decided to reorganize their business into four parts: content production, parks, consumer products, and other experiences like cruises.
Analysis
Disney’s mission is to use storytelling in order to provide entertainment, and to inspire and inform people around the world. Disney was founded on October 16, 1923 by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney. Disney is soon to celebrate being 100 years old. Disney utilizes a decentralized cooperative multidivisional organizational structure, in which many diversified companies use that run a lot of different operations, including global operations.
Early on, Disney founded the Mickey Mouse Club, and then began working on production in music, tv shows, and films. By 1955, Disney than moved to real estate by opening up the first Disneyland. Disney continued to grow throughout the years, including productions in hotels, stores, cruise lines, and movies. They also expand to broadcasting, interactive software and internet sites, and the Anaheim Mighty Duck NHL franchise.
In 1955, Disney took the risk of branching out by opening the first Disneyland. After that, in 1984, CEO, Michael Eisner, of Disney continued to push diversifying in the company. Within 5 years, the company’s revenue doubled from 1.6 billion to 3.49 billion. The company reached the decision to diversify in order to keep up with consumer demand, increase profits, and grow the business. The reorganization that Disney decided to do was to help the company position itself for the future in order to create a more effective global framework. One of the new productions was the making of Disney plus. Disney saw the online streaming platform start to take off back in 2017. Disney plus was introduced in 2019.
Conclusion
Disney used critical thinking in order to decide how to address our fast-changing world. Disney also used critical thinking to reflect on the future of the company. Through diversification, Disney has expanded to being one of the largest and most successful entertainment companies in the world.
Disney’s decision to diversify was very successful in my opinion. I, myself, contribute to their success because I frequent Disney parks, and have been to the one in California, Florida, and Paris. I also pay for the Disney plus streaming services. I shop at Disney stores and stay at Disney hotels. Their marketing and mission to provide entertainment come through with the services they offer.

See full FAQIs there a possibility of plagiarism in my completed order?
We complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.
We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.
I received some comments from my teacher. Can you help me with them?
Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.
After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.
How will I receive a completed paper?
You will get the first version of your paper in a non-editable PDF format within the deadline. You are welcome to check it and inform us if any changes are needed. If everything is okay, and no amendments are necessary, you can approve the order and download the .doc file. If there are any issues you want to change, you can apply for a free revision and the writer will amend the paper according to your instructions. If there happen to be any problems with downloading your paper, please contact our support team.Where do I upload files?
When you submit your first order, you get a personal account where you can track all your orders, their statuses, your payments, and discounts. Among other options, you will have a possibility to communicate with your writer via a special messenger. You will be able to upload all information and additional materials on your paper using the “Files” tab on your personal page. Please consider uploading everything you find necessary for our writer to perform at the highest standard.
