* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Disney, a global leader in family entertainment and media, but Disney will also face certain difficulties with the development of globalization more and more mature. This study looks into Disney's position and growth around the globe and uses SWOT analysis to assess its present state of development and operating environment, and evaluates the issues that have arisen during the internationalisation of Disney by looking into secondary data. Disney has benefits like brand recognition, a variety of products, and strong financial assets, but it also confronts threats from rising competition and unreliable external factors. The first is that stakeholders disagree because of misunderstandings between cultures. Second, the rationality of product design and the flaws in culture will cause reputation to deteriorate. Third, having a wide variety of products presents challenges for marketing. Finally, the instability brought on by a change in leadership. This study offers a number of recommendations for Disney to better manage future worldwide development on the basis of these findings.
