The Walt Disney Company was founded in 1923 and has since diversified from animation to live-action films, television, theme parks, and other divisions. It operates through five segments: media networks, parks and resorts, film studio, consumer products, and interactive. Disney has strengths in its strong portfolio of brands and reputation, acquisition experience, and diversified businesses. However, it is heavily dependent on North America and has limited room for growth through new acquisitions. Opportunities exist in expanding into emerging markets and new countries for film production, while threats include intense competition, piracy, and online streaming services.
