Disney's biggest mistake was not researching the people who were supposed to account for fifty percent of the attendance, the French. Many of the French people viewed the Disney name and company as "American Imperialism - plastics at it's worst". Many French farmers were upset over how Disney purchased the land, which was at 1971 market value. Disney did not do homework at all.

... Question: “What’s your Job?” Question: “But isn’t your job to serve the customer?” In grocery stores, where the supplier-relationship is immediate, the operations manager system is hard pressed to maintain a customer focus. The customer is the next process, or where the work goes next. A buyer’s customer is the associate in the department to whom the purchased item goes; a cost accountant’s customer is the manager who uses the accounting operations-where the design will be produced or the service provided. It is also clear that throughout the organization, people not only have customers, they are customers. Let’s turn our attention to what customers want. A Short ...

... see this show, I honestly didn't have a clue to what it was really about except the Tango. I simply thought it would be an exhibition of dancers. I wasn't prepared for the extent of the story, the wordlessness of the show, and the beauty of the dance. I sat on my seat the entire two hours of the show. The choreographing was wonderful. I've seen several ballets over the years, and I was really surprised at how great this was. The lighting and costumes set the mood, the small orchestra set the mood and tone throughout the night, and the acting completed it. I would whole-heartedly recommend this show to anyone, whether they know what the tango is or not. I saw ...

I also told her that she could chunk together the first letters of a phrase to make it more accessible to her memory retrieval system. I gave her the example of the New York Stock Exchange, or N.Y.S.E. That helped her a lot, ...

... weapons to protect America. They do not say who we need protection from. In fact there really is no one we need to be protected from. The Soviet Union is no more and the rest of the world is already years behind in technology. Then why do we spend billions of our dollars on weapons. We spend in order to line the pockets of weapon manufactures. If we thought for ourselves then we would realize that the peop[le in power do not pay us enough or that they are doing underhanded illegal transactions. If we thought for ourselves that would cut into their profit and we all know that can not happen. The Savings and Loans Scandal is a perfect example of this. ...

... experience is a vital instrument. Medical skill is a demand for certain practicing procedures and should be taken seriously. Knowing the legal system requires a doctor to have a good amount of experience can ease the concerns of family and loved ones, and also gives confidence to a doctor that he or she can do his or her work correctly.

... of how the tribe has to offer much of their food to the gods; they burn the food and the smoke going up is supposed to reach the heavens. This shows of how frightened they are of the gods, that they are willing to offer food although it may mean going hungry for a long stretch of time. The Baswate, though, take the ash of the burned food and mix it in with the water, supposidly blessing it, to help the hunger “pass.” The Baswate have no formal education or political rule, showing that not much attention is put into it. The only education is that of their religion and the elders are the people who politically make the decisions. The tribe doesn’t really stress t ...
