Disney and BusinessWeek

[Harry456]

surprisely while in study hall, i love reading businessweek magazine and today i came upon a disney article about Bob Iger - obviously the new CEO of Walt Disney Co.

warning! EXTREMELY long read

my only complain about the article is that it makes Micheal Eisner the bad CEO/person when he ran Disney. I guess that happens to all ex-CEO. (for example presidents) In the article it shows how Iger is making Disney click agian and how much room animators get. It shows Disney with a big bright future.

*cue the carousel of progress music!

Micheal Eisner had vision but lost it.

Micheal Eisner had vision but lost it.

Loss of vision occurs when someone has their head up their . . . Pretty dark in there.

That's because for the last 8-10 years of his tenure....he was bad for the company.

Did anybody else find it fascinating and more than a little surprising that Iger reguarly eats dinner with Jeffrey Katzenberg?

My how things change...
