Hi Imane,
ReplyDeleteYour articles establish important points. For example, the article related to Disney. It is true that by allowing such thing to happen many families that are there on vacation would feel that it is not a safe place for their children as before. It would definitely make an incredible change as to how Disney is perceived. However, can you see an opportunity, entrepreneurship idea, or a business idea in such a situation? Not that you have to for this assignment, but I am just thinking about a possibility of how this situation could be solved or how it could be handled in a way that does not affect many individuals. Also, your responses were very specific and detailed, as well as organized, it made your post very easy to read. Thank you for sharing!
Hello Imane, I'm pretty interested in the problems you found, more specifically 1. The alcohol in Disney could actually turn out to be received well by many people. While it could present a problem for the families if people drink too much, almost all of the other theme parks have sold alcohol for years. Of course they make the sacrifice worth it by charging $10 a beer, but it could definitely bring in a lot more money for Disney (like they need it lol). But it's going to be interesting to see how it affects their revenue and popularity.
ReplyDeleteI think that you chose appropriate people for the section that asks “who has the problem” because you chose people that could potentially buy solutions to the problems, such as families or teenagers. In addition, I think that the opportunities that you chose are concrete and could potentially be worked on. The opportunities listed, however, aren’t all local so it may be difficult to scout solutions to these problems because the stakeholders are more widely spread out.
