能夠像迪士尼那樣與觀眾建立密切聯系的公司并不多。自1923年成立以來，迪士尼品牌一直是全家人優質娛樂的代名詞。該公司最初由華特·迪士尼（Walt Disney）和羅伊·迪士尼（Roy Disney）兄弟創立，并在20世紀拓展了其業務范圍，開始將優質且令人難忘的家庭娛樂服務帶到世界各地。華特·迪士尼曾經說過，“我的興趣不在于‘表達’自己，不在于給人留下不知其然的創新性的印象。我感興趣的是娛樂大眾，給人們帶來快樂，尤其是笑聲”。該公司從簡單的黑白動畫片開始，發展成為當今世界范圍內的現象級商業帝國，包括主題公園、電影制作、電視網絡、戲劇制作、消費品和不斷增長的在線業務。

在創立之初的20年里，華特迪士尼制片廠（Walt Disney Productions）是一家生計維艱的卡通制片廠，它向全世界推出了其最著名的卡通形象一一米老鼠。那時，很少有人看好迪士尼的前景。但是該公司在1937年首次制作的有聲長片動畫電影一一《白雪公主和七個小矮人》取得了轟動性成功，并在接下來的30年里陸續推出了其他經典動畫片，如《木偶奇遇記》、《小鹿斑比》、《灰姑娘》和《小飛俠彼得·潘》，還有《歡樂滿人間》《萬能金龜車》等影片，以及《大衛·克羅傳》等電視連續劇。

1966年華特·迪士尼去世的時候，他已經舉世聞名。那時，公司已經將迪士尼的品牌延伸到了電影、電視和消費品行業，還有該公司的首家主題公園——南加州的迪士尼樂園，在這里全家人都可以在現實生活中領略迪士尼的魔力。在華特去世以后，羅伊·迪士尼成為CEO，并實現了華特的夢想——在佛羅里達州建立了24000英畝的迪士尼世界主題公園。1971年羅伊也去世了，但兩兄弟留下了一個代表信任、樂趣、娛樂并能引起兒童、家庭、成人共鳴的品牌，以及有史以來一些最感人至深且具有標志性的角色、故事和記憶。

失去兩位元老之后，該公司慘淡經營了幾年。直到20世紀80年代，華特·迪士尼公司重新站了起來，并以迪士尼品牌重新獲得消費者的信任與興趣。這一切都始于動畫電影《小美人魚》，它的上映使一個古老的童話故事變成一個神奇的百老匯風格電影。這部電影獲得了兩個奧斯卡獎。20世紀80年代末至21世紀初，迪士尼發布開創性的動畫電影如《美女與野獸》（1991）、《阿拉丁》（1992）、《獅子王》（1994）、《玩具總動員》（與皮克斯公司合作，1995）和《花木蘭》（1998），進入了一個所謂的“迪士尼復興時代”（Disney Renaissance）。此外，公司想到一個創新方式來將核心家庭作為目標市場，并將新的領域擴展到年齡更大的受眾。公司推出了迪士尼電視頻道（Disney Channel）、試金石影片公司（Touchstone Pictures)和試金石電視公司（Touchstone Television）。另外，迪士尼還為ABC（美國廣播公司）的《周日迪士尼影片之夜》（The Disney Sunday Night Movie）欄目制作經典電影，并以極低的價格銷售迪士尼經典電影的錄像帶，進軍新一代兒童市場。迪士尼品牌持續擴張，涉足了出版業、國際主題公園和戲劇制作等領域，打開了全世界各種受眾的市場。

現在，迪士尼公司共有4大業務部門：（1）媒體網絡部門（Media Networks），負責經營海量的廣播、有線電視、音頻、出版和數字業務，包括迪士尼/ABC電視頻道集團以及ESPN公司；（2）公園、體驗和消費品部門（Parks, Experience and Consumer Products），負責將迪士尼的故事、人物和特許經營權通過公園、度假村、玩具、應用程序、服裝、書籍和商店等方式帶到人們的現實生活中；（3）電影娛樂部門（Studio Entertainment），通過公司核心業務部門迪士尼電影公司，聯手漫威工作室、皮克斯動畫工作室和盧卡斯影業，負責為全世界的消費者帶來電影、音樂和舞臺劇；（4）直聯消費者和國際部門（The Direct-To-Consumer & International division），包括數字訂閱流媒體服務和國際控股業務。

目前迪士尼面臨的最大挑戰是，如何保持這個擁有90年歷史的品牌和其核心觀眾，并同時堅守其傳統和品牌的核心價值。迪士尼CEO鮑勃· 伊格爾（Bob lger）解釋道：“作為一個備受追捧信任的品牌，應該嘗試新的平臺與市場，進而向新的消費者敞開大門。經營一家具有悠久歷史的公司，往往要面對公司傳統與創新和現實意義的沖突，為此你免不了要做出各種抉擇。我絕對尊重公司的傳統，但同時我也堅信公司需要創新，而且需要協調傳統與現實意義之間的關系。”

在內部，迪士尼專注于價值創造的動態活力，這使其與競爭對手區分開來。基于對質量和客戶認可的高標準要求，“迪士尼差異化”源于華特·迪士尼最知名的語錄之一：“無論你做什么，都要把它做得很好。如果你做得夠好，人們就想重新光顧，看你再做一次。他們會把其他人也叫來看你把事情做得有多棒。”

迪士尼努力在多個層面上、通過每一個細節與顧客保持聯系。例如，迪士尼世界（Disney World）培訓“演員”要“親切熱情”，要揮舞米老鼠的大手迎接游客，分發地圖給成人，分發貼紙給孩子，勤奮地清理公園使游客很難找到一塊有垃圾的地方。對迪士尼來說，每一個細節都很重要。迪士尼的動畫師甚至教會了保潔人員用掃帚和水桶在地上“畫”高飛和米老鼠的形象。對于游客來說，它們在烈日下蒸發之前的那一分鐘是一個魔法時刻。

擁有如此多的品牌、角色和企業，迪士尼利用科技來確保客戶的體驗在任何一個平臺上都是一致的。迪士尼通過電子郵件、博客及其網站等創新方式與消費者建立聯系，向他們提供對電影預告片、電視剪輯、百老匯表演和虛擬主題公園體驗的介紹和分析。迪士尼是第一批開始定期播放其電視播客、發布有關其產品和相關員工采訪的公司之一。“我的迪士尼體驗”（My Disney Experience）應用程序使得用戶能夠遠程從快餐店訂購食物并且付款，讓其在參觀迪士尼樂園和度假村時避免排隊。

迪士尼商業模式和文化的一個關鍵方面是堅持高標準的企業社會責任。迪士尼致力于始終以合乎道德的方式行事，負責任地創造內容和產品，維護互相尊重的工作環境，在社區中有所投資和貢獻，并成為環境的好管家。公司對做好事的承諾與堅持使其成為世界上最受尊敬的公司之一。

問題：

1.迪士尼如何為客戶創造價值？

2.迪士尼品牌的核心優勢是什么？

3.通過新產品和服務來擴張迪士尼品牌的風險與好處分別是什么？
