Disney's Strategic Planning Group Turned the Company into a Huge

Disney's strategic planning group turned the company into a huge and diverse collection of media and entertainment businesses.In the past three or four decades,Disney expanded to include everything from theme resorts and film studios to media networks to consumer products and a cruise line.The newly transformed Disney proved hard to manage and performed unevenly.Recently,Disney disbanded the centralized strategic planning unit,decentralizing its functions to Disney division managers.Since then,Disney's management has helped it perform strongly in a competitive marketplace.

B) The chain has penetrated the market in coastal areas but not inland areas.
C) Other Disney companies use the chain's studios for a wide variety of projects,resulting in significant cost savings for Disney.
