Unfortunately, the negative traits associated with some other teams lin­ gers over Lumbeijack football. Two players have been arrested and charged with felonies since last April. Yet freshman tight end Rian Weske and senior receiver Chris Warner are still on the team and both look to play in the majority of this season’s games.

  • The Walt Disney Company: the Entertainment King
    For the exclusive use of Y. Zhang, 2016. 9-701-035 REV: JANUARY 5, 2009 MICHAEL G. RUKSTAD DAVID COLLIS The Walt Disney Company: The Entertainment King I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse. — Walt Disney The Walt Disney Company’s rebirth under Michael Eisner was widely considered to be one of the great turnaround stories of the late twentieth century. When Eisner arrived in 1984, Disney was languishing and had narrowly avoided takeover and dismemberment. By the end of 2000, however, revenues had climbed from $1.65 billion to $25 billion, while net earnings had risen from $0.1 billion to $1.2 billion (see Exhibit 1). During those 15 years, Disney generated a 27% annual total return to shareholders.1 Analysts gave Eisner much of the credit for Disney’s resurrection. Described as “more hands on than Mother Teresa,” Eisner had a reputation for toughness.2 “If you aren’t tough,” he said, “you just don’t get quality. If you’re soft and fuzzy, like our characters, you become the skinny kid on the beach, and people in this business don't mind kicking sand in your face.”3 Disney’s later performance, however, had been well below Eisner’s 20% growth target. Return on equity which had averaged 20% through the first 10 years of the Eisner era began dropping after the ABC merger in 1996 and fell below 10% in 1999. Analysts attributed the decline to heavy investment in new enterprises (such as cruise ships and a new Anaheim theme park) and the third-place performance of the ABC television network.

  • The Walt Disney Company: Los Reyes Del Entretenimiento
    702-S10 REV: JULIO 25,2001 MICHAEL G. RUKSTAD DAVID COLLIS The Walt Disney Company: Los reyes del entretenimiento «Sólo espero no olvidar nunca una cosa: que todo esto empezó por un ratón». Walt Disney El resurgimiento de The Walt Disney Company bajo la dirección de Michael Eisner se consideraba como una de las grandes historias de transformación de finales del siglo XX. Cuando Eisner llegó, en 1984, Disney languidecía y había escapado por poco a una adquisición y a la fragmentación. A finales del año 2000, sin embargo, los ingresos habían aumentado de 1.650 a 25.000 millones de dólares, mientras que los beneficios netos lo hacían de 100 a 1.200 millones (véase Anexo 1). Durante los primeros 15 años de Eisner, Disney generó para sus accionistas un rendimiento total anual del 27%.1 Los analistas atribuían a Eisner gran parte del mérito de la resurrección de Disney. Descrito con «más dedicación que la Madre Teresa», Eisner tenía fama de duro.2 «Si no eres duro –decía–, no consigues calidad. Si eres blando e indeciso, como nuestros personajes, te conviertes en el enclenque de la playa, y a la gente de este negocio no le importa echarte arena en la cara».3 El rendimiento de Disney en 1998 y 1999 había sido muy inferior al objetivo de crecimiento establecido por Eisner, que era del 20%. El beneficio neto sólo subió un 4% en 1998, y cayó un 28% en 1999. La rentabilidad de los recursos propios había sido de un promedio del 20% durante los diez primeros años de la era Eisner, pero empezó a decaer tras la fusión con ABC en 1996, y cayó por debajo del 10% en 1999.

Once Upon a Mattress is one of my all-time favorite shows in musical theater history. This production marks my 12th production of it, having performed as one of the first Prince Dauntlesses on tour when the show was first released back in the ’60s. I’ve played Dauntless five times and directed and choreographed the show six other times. When I was offered the chance to do the TAP production I was beyond excited. Now on to the challenge! Many classic shows should not be touched. Standards like most Rodgers and Hammerstein shows should be done as a classic.
