...nsive for this demographic. Currently, 1 U.S. dollar equals 2.38 Brazilian reals. That means a regular $92 day pass to Disneyland will cost locals almost 200 Brazilian reals. Aside from the wealthy few, Disney’s expensive prices will not accommodate and attract the rest of Brazil’s growing population. If they do not amend their prices, Disney will be greatly threatened by other free attractions such as beaches, museums, and parks. (http://www.gadling.com/2012/04/16/10-free-things-to-do-in-rio-de-janeiro-brazil/). There are also implications with the language. Disney will have to spend a lot of time translating everything to Portuguese. Since languages are so different, it will be hard to retain the same meaning. Disney will have to incorporate backwards or parallel translation into their implementation plan, which could be costly in terms of money as well as time.

Since the country’s independence, Brazil has drafted eight constitutions. Today, Brazil is a federal republic divided into twenty-six states and one federal district. The constitutional framework of Brazil is based on its newest document, created in 1988, following the period of military dictatorship from 1964-1985. Upon the rebirth of democracy in Brazil, the new constitution set up a system of checks and balances similar to that of the United States, where there exists the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches of government.

They started the company, The Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, where they became the leader in the American animation industry and later working in live action film production, television and their world famous theme parks.

With the unparalleled resources and capital they already had, they could easily conduct proper market research before diving into the market in Hong
If Brazil can take advantage of these strengths then they will be able to continue the growth they have been enjoying over recent years. The country have enough oil and gas reserves to make Brazil self-sustaining, with some to spare which can be sold abroad. Another strength Brazil have is the fact they actually have more fresh water than any other country in the world. As climate change will soon become to make water scarcer than ever before, and this will in turn make Brazil an extremely attractive prospect for people wanting to either invest or live there. The World Cup this summer was a tremendous success and this tournament, along with the build up to the Olympics that will take place in Brazil in 2016, has massively improved and is continually improving the basic physical and organisational infrastructure whilst attracting major international investors into the country. Hosting the Olympics isn’t generally a profitable investment due to the massive expenditures required throughout the tournament, however, the event like the World Cup, will give the country a massive global
