Abstract

ABSTRACT On December 31st, 2009, right towards the end of the Global Financial Crisis, an important acquisition took place in the entertainment industry. Walt Disney Studios officially announced the acquisition of Marvel Studios. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the acquisition on Disney as well as Marvel Studios. This research primarily employs the model of SWOT analysis to help examine Disney’s business conditions before and after the acquisition. This research concludes that the acquisition substantially diversified Disney’s audience demographic and added a lot of characters and stories to Disney’s film collections. These values made the deal very successful and beneficial for Disney. The implication of this study includes suggestions for Disney as well as other studios in similar positions. These include studios in the entertainment that are also trying to make synergistic acquisitions and mergers.
