THIS WAS MY WEEK 3 Discussion Board

For my final project, I’ve decided to focus on The Walt Disney Company, a publicly traded company known for its impact on entertainment, hospitality, and media. Disney operates theme parks worldwide, including Walt Disney World in Florida, and it serves as a great example of a company with strong leadership, a well-defined corporate culture, and effective organizational behavior strategies.

One of the things that makes Disney interesting to study is how its leadership and corporate culture have shaped the company’s success. From Walt Disney himself to the current executives, leadership has played a huge role in maintaining a creative, innovative, and customer-focused environment. Looking at different leadership theories, like transformational leadership, could help explain how Disney continues to evolve and thrive (Northouse, 2021).

Another interesting aspect is how Disney keeps its employees engaged and motivated. With thousands of workers across its parks, resorts, and studios, the company has to ensure a high level of job satisfaction. It would be worth exploring how Disney’s recognition programs, training initiatives, and employee benefits align with motivation theories, such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs or Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory (Robbins & Judge, 2022).

Diversity and inclusion are also big factors in Disney’s success. As a global brand, the company has made significant efforts to promote diversity not just in its workforce, but also in its storytelling and marketing. Understanding how these initiatives impact organizational effectiveness could be a great research topic (The Walt Disney Company, 2023).

Something else that stands out about Disney is its ability to create strong brand loyalty. The company has one of the most dedicated customer bases in the world, and it would be interesting to explore how consumer behavior and branding strategies contribute to that (Kotler & Keller, 2020).

Finally, corporate social responsibility and ethics are areas where Disney has faced both praise and criticism. Looking at how the company handles labor disputes, environmental sustainability, and ethical decision-making could provide valuable insight into how a major corporation manages its responsibilities to the public and its stakeholders (Crane, Matten, & Spence, 2019).

Overall, Disney presents a great opportunity to study different aspects of organizational behavior in a real-world setting. The way the company blends leadership, employee engagement, branding, and ethics makes it a fascinating subject.
