2.  The Disney company was founded in 1923 by Walter Elisa Disney in California  Over time the business grew into a multi-billion dollar American entertainment company  In the 1950’s the company began building theme parks called Disney World and Disney Land based off of their cartoons  The Disney company is looking to expand its amusement parks to an Asian country best suited for this type of entertainment

3.  Japan –  China –  India-  Taiwan-

4.  Climate/Weather- Is there good or bad weather? Are there a lot of natural disasters? Culture/Lifestyle- What type of activities do people do for fun? how do people spend their money? Economy- How is the economy Can people afford to go to the theme park? Population- Is there room for a theme park? is the population rural or urban? Competition- How many major parks are nearby? Are there any other amusement companies around?

6.  China has the largest population in the world  There is already a Disney World in China and many other Amusement parks  competition and overcrowding could be a major issue  Large cities have also created great pollution China’s competition Beijing China

7. One of china’s already popular amusement parks China’s government is communist, which America being democratic is greatly against American ideas have affected China but many people still follow Chinese beliefs and resent America The communist government can be oppressive and give people very little time for fun

9.  India has massive over population with the biggest population in the world so over population is an issue  Most of the cities is plagued with poverty, disease, and has a lack of education  Many people are not fully excepting of western ideas and tend to spend their money on basic needs  There are parts of India with a fairly good climate but most of India has extreme rain and natural disasters

10. Just like Taiwan, a lot of rainfall in the months where se should get most of our customers can pose a huge problem in our income and customers.

12.  Taiwan is a very small island much smaller than Japan with extreme over population  The economy is very bad at 17 th in the world with much poverty and disease  Even though there are not many major theme parks, only a few people have money for things like Theme Parks  No real target market  Monsoons, Earthquakes, flooding and tsunamis could potentially destroy the theme park

13. Over crowding in Taiwan A huge average rainfall in the time periods where people want to go to amusement parks can be a huge problem for a Disney in Taiwan.

15.  In fact Japan loves theme parks so much that they have some of the biggest rides in the world and a huge target market for a company like Disney. However we will have to build away from these parks to insure a good income.

16.  The climate and weather of Japan in the southern region is usually warm tropical weather perfect for a theme park to run all year long  Japan has some natural disasters but the government has invested billions in protecting companies from these destructive forces.  Japan has greatly embraced western ideas and today even has fairly similar cultural ideas as America  The Japanese like the idea of amusement parks and rides and greatly embrace companies like Disney World

17.  There should not be an extreme amount of cultural shock when moving to Japan because we live very similar lives.  Japan has a vastly different language, but could be easily overcome with a translator  Japan is a much more urban country than America with many large modern cities  the Japanese tend to eat much more seafood than meat as in America with much more rice  Over all these should not be a big challenge to overcome with some pre traning.
