L= 5:4 0. case ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is a multimedia, global cable television network with headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. Founded in 1979 with financing provided by The Getty Oil Company, ESPN grew along with the cable television industry to become a mainstay of American popular culture. After a series of investments by Hearst Publications, and ABC (the American Broadcasting Network), 80% of ESPN finally ended up in the hands of entertainment giant The Walt Disney Company, and 20% with the Hearst Corporation, a 100 year-old media company based largely on newspaper and magazine businesses. ESPN focuses on sports programming including live and pre-taped event telecasts, sports talk shows, and other original programming.

Rocco, Maria Celia Año: 201 8 ÍNDICE 1 ÍNDICE 1 2 3 Introducción En el siguiente Trabajo Integrador Final de la carrera de Licenciatura en Publicidad de la Fundación UADE, presentaremos una estrategia integral para el anunciante MEDICUS S.A, en adelante “Medicus”, para implementar en el evento del Mundial de Rugby 2019 que se llevará a cabo en Japón durante los meses de Septiembre, Octubre y Noviembre. Las preguntas que sirvieron de base para desarrollar el siguiente trabajo de investigación fueron: ¿Qué?, ¿Dónde?, ¿Por qué?, ¿Quién?, ¿Cómo?. Estas preguntas fueron los primeros interrogantes que nos hicimos al iniciar la investigación y consideramos que fueron de gran utilidad para llegar a nuestro objetivo. Dado que consiste en una campaña que se llevará a cabo durante la competencia mundial de rugby, investigamos acerca de la historia del mundial y tomamos como referencia el Mundial de Rugby 2015 en Inglaterra. En segundo lugar, investigamos acerca del país sede donde se transcurrirá el evento para conocer acerca de su cultura, geografía, la organización del evento y su vínculo con el deporte. Para el tercer capítulo, hicimos énfasis en nuestro vínculo como argentinos con el Rugby, teniendo en cuenta que existen grandes seguidores del deporte y por otro lado aficionados esporádicos. Por esta razón optamos por realizar una comparación entre el rugby y otros deportes en cuanto a su audiencia.

    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 91 1st International Symposium on Economic Development and Management Innovation (EDMI 2019) Analysis of Business Operation Management under the Harvard Analytical Framework: A Case Study of the Walt Disney Company Jingwen Yang School of Economics, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230601, China [email protected] Abstract. A comprehensive analysis of financial statements can help its users to understand the production and operation situations and development prospects of enterprises thoroughly and accurately in order to make scientific and rational resolutions. This research employs the Harvard Analytical Framework to analyze the finance and operation management situations of the Walt Disney Company. Development prospects of TWDC are discussed and some suggestions are proposed in this paper. This research is aimed to deepen the understanding and application of financial statement analysis methods. Keywords: Financial analysis; operation management; Harvard Analytical Framework; the Walt Disney Company. 1. Research Background With the constant development of capital market, the diversification of investment entities, and the complexity of investment and financing methods, investment and financing activities become increasingly important for enterprises, but at the same time, they are also led to the increasing uncertainties and risks of business operations. An accurate assessment of business operation and management situations can hardly be conducted without the financial analysis (Yin, 2012). However, Li (2015) finds that the current traditional financial analysis mode solely based on financial statements have its inherent flaws, for today’s market economy is developing rapidly, the market operation is getting mature, the world economic exchanges are becoming more frequent, and the subject and object of financial analysis are increasingly diversified.
