From the Paper
"The leadership approach at Florida Disney is the outcome of a transformation of a business thinking that happened within Walt Disney which is called as 'Performance Excellence'. Identifying novel competitive force in the early 1990s it was understood at Disney that to remain a benchmark in creativity, customer service and entertainment, every Cast Member at Florida should assume the role of an active partner in the success of the company. This initiative makes linkages to the leadership behaviors to the fundamental and quantifiable measures of Disney's business which is the totality of Cast experience, Guest satisfaction, and customer loyalty. In the beginning it was realized that the concept of Performance Excellence revolved on two major factors which is involvement and passion. (Disney World Paper)"

"Executive Summary
The Walt Disney Company entered the amusement park market in July 1955 when it opened a new park 30 miles south of Los Angeles, California. Named for its owner, the park ushered in a new era of family entertainment and revitalized the amusement park industry. Disneyland spurred economic growth in Orange County and, specifically, in Anaheim (where the park is located). In 1972, the company opened a second theme park, Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida. This was followed in 1983 by a theme park in Tokyo. In April 1992, a new Disney park opened 20 miles outside Paris.
The marketing associated with the European park centers around a standardized product recognized throughout the world. Customers to any Disney theme park can expect the same high level ..."

CD: "Disney Songs the Satchmo Way", 2005.
This paper reviews the compact disk "Disney Songs the Satchmo Way" on which Louis Armstrong presents Disney songs in his jazz style.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, on "Disney Songs the Satchmo Way", Louis Armstrong re-interprets the music of very familiar songs associated with Disney by adding a jazz flair to each song resulting in a more enjoyable sound than in their original format. The author points out that the new style actually makes the songs a much mellower flavor, which flows along nicely instead of being choppy in places as in the original Disney style. The paper analyzes the songs "Chim Chim Cher-ee", "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" and "When You Wish upon a Star", all of which definitely have that New Orleans flavor with trumpets, trombones and various brass instruments playing Disney tunes.
From the Paper
"Another aspect that struck me was my attitude towards the kind of songs being performed. I had always thought of these tunes as children's songs, just funny, cartoon type lyrics and music. The way, in which these tunes were performed by Louis Armstrong, I could actually see some of them making it onto the charts. Even though they are suppose to be fun songs, the new format somehow gave them a little more seriousness. "

Abstract
Many Americans and others around the world grew up knowing and loving Walt Disney and the world that he created. From 1955, when Disney opened his first theme park in Anaheim, California, there was the thought that Disney would reach around the world, as many visitors from around the world came to visit the park in Anaheim and the duplicate park in Orlando. Disney proved it could move around the world and, therefore, opened its first international park in 1983 in Tokyo, Japan and then in Paris, France in 1992. There are many issues that Disney experienced with both of the international parks, but most notably, the one in France. This paper discusses Disney?s experience in France, the global impact of Disney?s business, as well as the evolving nature of the global economy and its effect on Disney?s operations.
From the Paper
"First, Disney is constantly looking for ways to build their business on a global level as over the past 20 years the business of Disney has grown from Anaheim to Tokyo to France and beyond. Only three years after the expansion of Disney?s park system to Tokyo, Japan, Disney looks to take on Europe. Disney felt that Europeans should be the next to fall more in love with Disney. ?When word got out that Disney wanted to build another international theme park, officials from more than 200 locations all over the world descended on Disney with pleas and cash inducements to work the Disney magic in their hometowns? (Huey, 1995). Because of the economic impact felt in Tokyo with the addition of the theme park there these officials wanted to realize the impact of a large global corporation in their respective communities and countries, however Disney was already looking toward France. Although there was a slow start due to cultural differences the park begins to show a profit and increase the global presence of Disney."

Abstract
The "euro" is the name of the single currency of the European Community. The Treaty of Rome (1957) declared a common European market as a European purpose with the aim of increasing economic prosperity and contributing to closer ties among the different countries. The paper shows that the Single European Act (1986) and the Treaty on European Union (1992) have shaped on this, introducing Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and laying the basics for a single currency, the euro.
Paper Outline:
History of Euro
Impact of Euro
The Future Prospects of Euro
References
From the Paper
"The impact of the Euro has been very significant not only in the European markets but also in the international arena. One of the results is same currency noticeably eliminates the need for transaction costs to convert currencies. Such financial resources could be used in a more effective way, by producing output that has a greater value to society."

The Euro, 2004.
This paper discusses the effects of the euro on participating countries, especially Finland, and, based on secondary research, concludes that the UK would benefit by joining the European Monetary Union (EMU).

Abstract
This paper explains that the introduction and implementation of the euro has done much to integrate the national financial markets, leading to higher efficiency in the allocation of capital in Europe, with EMU members benefiting from an increase in intra-European trade flows and higher capital investment resulting from the development of a single currency. The author points out that a single currency is now an important complement to the Single European Market, which is quickly making the European Union a more powerful player in the global economy. The paper stresses that the single unit of account reduces transaction costs and eliminates a portion of the fixed costs involved in issuing similar securities in multiple currencies, serving to moderate home bias in borrowing and lending, and leading to larger, more-liquid, and more-diversified financial markets.

From the Paper
"The common currency will ultimately speed up the integration of the EU countries. With a single currency, a single monetary and interest policy, the countries in the euro zone are more dependent on one another than they ever were. The single currency is slated to become an outward sign of European identity. Thus, national economic policies must remain sufficiently flexible to react to different situations. However, better coordination is necessary to avoid future problems. Europe's increasing power in monetary and financial questions will for also have positive effects on the EU's scope for foreign policy action. A Europe with fewer internal borders and in which people use the same currency from will have a new quality quite different from the Europe of the past."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the term "Disneyization of Society", first used by Alan E. Bryman in a book by that title. The paper discusses an article that he first wrote in "Sociological Review" in 1999. The paper further analyzes the main ideas of both the book and the article, that the world is becoming increasingly categorized, in ways similar to the operation of Disney theme parks. The paper discusses how "themed" things are everywhere: shopping centers; hotels; restaurants; movie theaters, etc., and also theme parks. The paper proposes that as corporate marketing practices take over, Disneyization is bound to increase. The paper describes Disneyization's four categories, crowd control and surveillance, and Disneyization's overall effects, not just on American society, but on the whole world.
From the Paper
"In Disneyization of thinking, activities, preferences, entertainment, leisure time, and culture, the four key "Disneyizing" categories, according to Bryman (1999a; 2004) are: theming; de-differentiation of consumption; merchandising; and emotional labour. These seem automatic, both to marketing and to people being targeted for marketing, so they do not think about it after some time, it just is always there, so they accept it and soon do not recognize any difference between Disneyization and non-Disneyization, within their lives every day.
In comparison, "McDonaldization", says Ritzer (2000), consist of another different four parts: efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control, through nonhuman technolog"

From the paper:
"European nations have recently adopted the euro currency, and this paper will provide pros and cons, and overall analysis of how Europe can benefit from it. Never before has a single currency been created across an industrialized zone. Exchange rate stability is what people are looking for with the euro. Some people hope it is such a success, that it will someday reach the shores of the United States and Japan. The euro is a financial innovation, and a common currency is the ultimate in stable exchange rates. A monetary union also provides the possibilities of a European political union linking."

Abstract
Disney?s Parks and Resorts business was built on the premise that theme parks, which brought the Disney magic to life, would be a tremendous experience and opportunity for children and their families to have fun. This paper analyzes the international marketing strategy of Disney Parks and Resorts. Disney Co. has recently begun facing financial problems, with lower attendance and occupancy rates, both in its U.S. and Paris locations. As this analysis proceeds, it examines the root causes of Disney?s declining Parks and Resorts' business and develops a set of recommendations. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"Standardization and transference of the American culture worked beautifully in Japan, turning it into a highly profitable venture, which continues to grow, leading to the opening of a second resort, Tokyo DisneySea. Indeed, Disney?s success in Japan is evidenced by the fact that it is the only resort to contribute higher earnings (royalties) to The Walt Disney Company in the fiscal year 2003 (Disney 2003 Annual Report, p. 59). Euro Disney is, however, an altogether different story, and not a very happy one at that. Established in 1992, the venture was plagued with problems right from the outset, beginning with Disney?s lack of understanding of European and French culture, which led to several errors in product and service design:..."

Is Florida Ready?, 2001.
This paper suggests an emergency response program were Florida to be hit by a major earthquake.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the emergency services available in Florida and examines whether they would be prepared to deal with a major earthquake. Each service is analyzed for their preparedness, a look at other government assistance available and lists of financial support which would be given to citizens in such an event.
From the paper:
"What would happen if Florida were to be hit by a devastating earthquake? This paper suggests a possible emergency response to such an event. While Florida is as prepared as a state can be (having had a fair amount of practice recently) in responding to hurricanes, it has (of course) relatively little practice in responding to earthquakes. However, some fault lines do lie under the Atlantic, of course, and so Florida is subject to potential earthquakes. Fortunately, while the citizenry here is unfamiliar with earthquakes, many of the basic disaster-preparedness elements that allow us to cope with hurricanes can also be called into play for any other type of natural disaster."

Blacks in Florida, 2004.
Examines the alternative views of two authors, Jane Landers and Robert L. Hall, on the history of African-Americans in Florida, compared to the views of Samory Rashid, who viewed them through their repressive past.

Abstract
This paper looks at the history and influence of African-Americans on Spanish Colonial Florida as presented by Jane Landers in her article, "Traditions of African-American Freedom and Community in Spanish Colonial Florida," and Robert Hall's "African Religious Retentions in Florida". Both writers present the African-Americans as people in their own right who flourished against the odds. In contrast, the paper shows that Samory Rashid?s thesis in his article, ?Islamic Origins of Spanish Florida's Fort Musa," suggests that the African-Americans' influence began in their past when they lived in the West African and Islamic North regions, and to actually understand the heritage and influence the African-Americans have had, we must study the culture evident in these areas. The fact remains that he viewed the African-Americans through a repressive slave past, decreasing the effectiveness of his thesis. This paper argues that the influence of Africans on the New World should not be viewed through their slave past; rather, the influence should be studied from the origins of the African peoples and how they flourished despite the restrictions placed within their social circles. Only then can the African influence on the New World be viewed as having more than ?survived? in face of slavery and be seen as a glorious fight to exist.
From the Paper
"While Landers and Hall present their research through the usual concept of immigration, they provide a new and refreshing slant to the theories by showing the success of the Afro Americans rather than the failure. Rashid [2001] goes deeper, claiming that Africans had a stronghold in the region through the Islamic religion which is why the influence remains stronger in the Spanish colonial region than elsewhere in the New World and yet., he remains bound to past slave theories that did not allow the Afro-Americans any identity of their own."
