What type of corporate strategy was Disney pursuing

After reading the case on Disney – please type in your answers of around 200 words for each of the 4 questions listed below.

PLEASE HAVE THE QUESTION ON THE TOP AND LET YOUR ANSWER FLOW FROM THAT – AND COMPLETE YOUR ANSWERS FOR THE CASE IN NOT MORE THAN 2 PAGES SINGLE SPACE!

1. Before announcing its streaming services, what type of corporate strategy was Disney pursuing? Which core competencies were shared and how?

2. Why do you think Disney’s acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm were so successful, while other media interactions such as Sony’s acquisition of Columbia Pictures and News Corp.’s acquisition of Myspace were much less successful?

3. Given the build-borrow-or-buy framework, do you think Disney should pursue alternatives to acquisitions? Why or why not?

4. Given Disney’s focus on creating and monetizing billion-dollar franchises, some industry observers now view Disney more as a global consumer products company like Nike rather than a media company. Do you agree with this perspective? Why or why not? What strategic implications would it have if Disney is truly a global consumer products company rather than a media and marketing company?

Please avoid using “gobbledegook” (incomprehensible or pompous jargon of specialists; specialized technical terminology characteristic of a particular subject), and you don’t need to use other references in this assignment. Just make sure that the answers to each question are practical and specific enough.

Please pay attention to the number of words, not more than but not too little.
