Disney Consumer Products: Marketing Nutrition to Children Shivani Chavan
This document summarizes Disney Consumer Products' strategy to market healthier food products to children in response to criticism about contributing to childhood obesity. It discusses Disney conducting research in 2004 that found children want nationally branded foods while mothers want nutritious options. Disney then developed a line of Disney-branded fruits and vegetables in partnership with Kroger supermarkets. They also set nutrition guidelines for products and planned to make 41% compliant and phase out 28% by 2008. Disney believed their brand equity could increase the appeal of healthier foods to children and create a win-win for mothers, children and the company.
This document summarizes a Kaizen activity done at Phillips in Pune, India to reduce waste in their Surgico-60D HF product. Currently the product uses a 24-core cable connecting the MVS to C-Stand, of which only 11 cores are used. The activity proposes replacing the 24-core cable with a 12-core cable to eliminate the unused cores. This would remove extra material, reduce processing time and handling efforts, and lower procurement costs by an estimated INR 50,000 per year. The results of switching to the 12-core cable are outlined.

The document outlines the key assumptions of Theories X and Y, how they relate to management styles, and their relevance to concepts like Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It also discusses how Theory Y in particular can be applied through practices like decentralization, delegation, job enlargement, and participative management.
