    2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders MARCH 18, 2014 Disney Speakers: Bob Iger Chairman and Chief Executive Officer PRESENTATION [VIDEO] Announcer Ladies and Gentlemen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger. Bob Iger – Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company Good morning, everyone. Good morning. Thank you. I really love that video. It never gets old for me because it says so much about The Walt Disney Company and what Disney means to so many millions and millions of people all over the world. And we're very, very happy to be here in Portland today to talk about the future of our great company. And we're holding this meeting here because Oregon has a lot of Disney shareholders and even more Disney fans and, of course, you also have our duck. Go Ducks, right? How did that happen? Anyway, these are all great reasons to be here to share the many new and exciting things that are happening across our company. Page 1 The Walt Disney Company’s March 18, 2014 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders I started last year's shareholder meeting by proudly announcing that our stock had just reached $60.00 a share for the first time and our market cap had reached $100 billion. Now, lately our stock has been above $80.00 a share and our market cap has been above $140 billion -- I'd call that a great year. Thanks. Now there are three things that drive this kind of success at Disney -- exceptional creativity, constant innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

  • The Walt Disney Company: a Corporate Strategy Analysis
    Walt Disney Company: A Corporate Strategy Analysis Carlos Carillo Jeremy Crumley Kendree ftieringer Jeffrey S. Harrison . The Walt Disney Company: A Corporate Strategy Analysis November 2012 "Walt was never afraid to dream. That song from Pinocchio, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' is the perfect summary of Walt's approach to life: dream big dreams, even hopelessly impossible dreams, because they really can come true. Sure, it takes work, focus and perseverance. But anything is possible. Walt proved it with the impossible things he accomplished."1 It is well documented that Walt Disney had big dreams and made several large gambles to propel his visions. From the creation of Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the first color feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in 1937, and the creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA during the 1950’s, Disney risked his personal assets as well as his studio to build a reality from his dreams. While Walt Disney passed away in the mid 1960’s, his quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,”2 still resonates in the corporate world and operations of The Walt Disney Company. COMPANY HISTORY The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”) originated with its animated characters and expanded into other adjacent businesses with the goal of bringing happiness to families via several different, but related avenues. In October 1923, Walter (“Walt”) and Roy Disney established the Disney Brothers Studio and began creating animated films that would eventually be the foundation of Disney3. In 1937, Disney created Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This film is the only animated film to rank in the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest American Films of all time.4 In 1955, Disney opened its first theme park, Disneyland, in Anaheim, California, that spanned over 160 acres.

Eisner, the company's chairman and chief executive. Recently, Roy Disney, nephew of the co-founder, Walt Disney, and another board member, Stanley P.

Mr. Bryson's wife, Louise Henry Bryson, is an executive officer at Lifetime Entertainment Services, which is 50 percent owned by Disney and does business with Disney subsidiaries.
