Abstract:
The Chinese film industry was a highly regulated industry until China's entry into the World Trade Organisation in 2001. China, with a population of 1.3 billion and a rapidly growing economy, has become an attractive market for all global media and entertainment companies. Walt Disney Company, the second largest media and entertainment company in the world, forayed into China following the maturity of its American and European markets. In addition to marketing its consumer products, Walt Disney plans to introduce theme parks, and live shows, as well as producing and distributing movies.

Pedagogical Objectives:

  • To highlight Walt Disney's market entry strategies in China
  • To discuss the company's ability to succeed in a country where its brand has little presence and where bureaucracy and red-tapism are rampant.
