"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

walt disney Quarter 2007 3rd
1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 1, 2007
THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY REPORTS HIGHER THIRD QUARTER
EARNINGS
BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported earnings for the
third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2007. Diluted earnings per share (EPS)
from continuing operations for the third quarter increased 14% to $0.58, compared to
$0.51 in the prior-year quarter. Higher earnings for the quarter were driven by double-
digit growth in operating income at the Media Networks, Parks and Resorts and
Consumer Products segments. Net income for the prior-year quarter was favorably
impacted by a $30 million net benefit associated with the completion of the Pixar
acquisition ($0.01 per share). As discussed below, the Company completed the spin-off
of its ABC Radio business during the quarter, and results from that business are now
reflected as discontinued operations for both the current and prior-year periods.
“We’ve again achieved strong results by focusing on doing what we do best;
building high-quality creative franchises across multiple platforms and multiple
markets,” said Disney president and chief executive Robert A. Iger.

Operating results of the ESPN Radio and Radio Disney network and stations businesses are now reported
(1)
within Cable Networks in the Media Networks segment for the current and prior periods. Previously, the
Company’s radio businesses were reported within Broadcasting in the Media Networks segment.
Cable Networks
Operating income at Cable Networks increased $88 million to $1.1 billion for the
quarter primarily due to growth at ESPN and at the domestic Disney/ABC Cable
Networks. The growth at ESPN was driven by higher affiliate revenues due to
contractual rate increases and subscriber growth, partially offset by decreased
recognition of previously deferred revenues related to annual programming
commitments. Operating income at ESPN also benefited from lower costs associated
with mobile phone operations, which have transitioned to a licensing model since the
prior-year period. During the quarter, ESPN recognized $49 million of previously
deferred revenues compared to $106 million in the prior-year quarter. The remaining
deferred revenues totaling $359 million as of the end of the current quarter are expected
3
4. to be recognized in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year compared to $171 million of
deferred revenues which were recognized in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
Increased operating income at the domestic Disney/ABC Cable Networks reflected
higher affiliate and advertising revenues. Growth in affiliate revenues was primarily
due to higher contractual rates and subscriber growth.
Broadcasting
Operating income at Broadcasting increased $165 million to $295 million for the
quarter primarily due to strong sales of ABC Studios productions, lower programming
and production costs, including a decrease in the number of pilot productions, and
higher advertising revenue at the ABC Television Network. These increases were
partially offset by increased costs associated with the Disney-branded mobile phone
service. The growth at ABC Studios reflected higher international, domestic
syndication and DVD sales led by Lost, Desperate Housewives and Scrubs. Increased
advertising revenues at the ABC Television Network were due to higher advertising
rates and higher sold inventory, partially offset by the impact of lower ratings.
Parks and Resorts
Parks and Resorts revenues for the quarter increased 6% to $2.9 billion and
segment operating income increased 13% to $621 million. Higher segment operating
income reflected increases at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort.
Higher operating income at Walt Disney World was due to increased guest
spending and higher attendance, partially offset by higher operating costs. Guest
spending increases were due to higher average daily room rates and higher
merchandise sales. Increased operating costs were driven by labor cost inflation and
new guest offerings, partially offset by lower pension and postretirement medical
expense and decreased marketing costs.
Higher operating income at Disneyland Resort was due to increased guest
spending, primarily due to higher average ticket prices, partially offset by higher
operating costs. Cost increases at Disneyland Resort were due to labor cost inflation
and new guest offerings, partially offset by lower pension and postretirement medical
expense.
Studio Entertainment
Studio Entertainment revenues for the quarter increased 4% to $1.8 billion and
segment operating income decreased 20% to $192 million. Lower segment operating
income was primarily due to a decrease in worldwide home entertainment partially
offset by an increase in international theatrical distribution.
The decrease in worldwide home entertainment was primarily due to lower
DVD sales, reflecting the strong performance of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The
Witch and The Wardrobe in the prior-year quarter.
The improvement in international theatrical distribution was driven by the
strong performance of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End in the current quarter. At
domestic theatrical distribution, the strong performance of Pirates of the Caribbean: At
4
5. World’s End was offset by higher distribution costs driven by marketing expenses for
Disney/Pixar’s Ratatouille, which was released late in the current quarter.
Consumer Products
Consumer Products revenues for the quarter increased 23% to $549 million and
segment operating income increased 12% to $118 million.
Higher segment operating income for the quarter was driven by increased unit
volumes at Disney Interactive Studios, higher earned revenues at Merchandise
Licensing and by Disney Store North America license royalties, which commenced in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007. These gains were partially offset by a higher revenue
share with the Studio Entertainment segment, increased marketing and video game
development costs at Disney Interactive Studios and higher operating costs at
Merchandise Licensing.
Unit volume growth at Disney Interactive Studios reflected the success of the
self-published video game based on Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End while earned
revenues at Merchandise Licensing grew across multiple product categories led by Cars
merchandise.
Consumer Products segment revenues generated from recent Studio
Entertainment properties are shared with the Studio segment. The increased revenues
from Studio properties, primarily Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean, resulted in an
increase in this allocation in the current quarter.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was as follows (in millions):

2007 2006
Interest expense $ (183) $ (158)
Interest and investment income 40 25
Net interest expense $ (143) $ (133)
Net interest expense increased $10 million driven by higher effective interest
rates, partially offset by favorable market value adjustments on certain investments in
the current quarter and increased interest income on higher average cash balances.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the quarter increased to 37.6% from 33.7% in the
prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in the tax benefits
realized from an exclusion of certain foreign source income. The prior-year quarter rate
also benefited from a non-taxable gain recorded in connection with the Pixar
acquisition.

6. The exclusion of certain foreign source income was repealed on a phase-out basis
as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. No exclusion is available for
transactions originating after the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Radio Disposition
On June 12, 2007, the Company completed the spin-off of its ABC Radio
business, which was then merged into a subsidiary of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation
(Citadel). The ABC Radio business includes 22 of the Company’s owned radio stations
and the ABC Radio Network. As a result of the spin-off, the operating results of the
ABC Radio business will be reported as discontinued operations in the current and
prior periods. The transaction did not include the Company’s ESPN Radio and Radio
Disney network and station businesses.
Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations is as follows
(in millions, except per share data):

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures
(1)
that follows below.
The Company generated $2.8 billion in free cash flow during the current nine-
month period, which was essentially flat compared to the prior-year period as an
increase of $250 million in cash provided by operating activities was largely offset by an
increase of $219 million in capital expenditures.
6
7. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher
operating performance at Studio Entertainment, Parks and Resorts and Media
Networks and lower NFL payments, partially offset by higher income tax payments.
The increase in capital expenditures was driven by a deposit on two new cruise
ships and new rides and attractions at Disneyland Resort including the Finding Nemo
Submarine Voyage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release presents earnings per share from continuing operations
excluding certain items related to dispositions and acquisitions, net borrowings, free
cash flow, and aggregate segment operating income, all of which are important
financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures defined by GAAP.
These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP
financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of earnings per share,
borrowings, cash flow or income from continuing operations before income taxes and
minority interests as determined in accordance with GAAP. Earnings per share from
continuing operations excluding certain items related to dispositions and acquisitions,
net borrowings, free cash flow, and aggregate segment operating income as we have
calculated them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.
Earnings per share from continuing operations excluding certain items related to
dispositions and acquisitions – The Company uses earnings per share from continuing
operations excluding certain items related to dispositions and acquisitions to evaluate
the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of the impact of significant
dispositions or acquisitions of interests in businesses. During the current nine months,
8
9. significant impacts included gains on sales of equity investments in E! Entertainment
and Us Weekly and a charge related to modification of equity-based compensation
plans in connection with the ABC Radio transaction. In the prior nine-month period,
significant impacts included gains on sales of a Spanish cable equity investment and
Discover Magazine and a net gain associated with the completion of the Pixar
acquisition. The Company believes that earnings per share from continuing operations
exclusive of these impacts is useful to investors, particularly where the impact of those
items is significant in relation to reported earnings, because the measure allows for
comparability between periods of the operating performance of the Company’s
business and allows investors to evaluate separately the impact of decisions regarding
the sale and acquisition of interests in businesses from the impact of the operations of
the business. The following table reconciles reported earnings per share from
continuing operations to earnings per share from continuing operations excluding
certain items related to dispositions and acquisitions:
Nine Months Ended

2007 2006 Change
Diluted EPS from continuing operations as reported $ 1.80 $ 1.25 44 %

⎯
Equity-based compensation plan modification charge 0.01 nm
Non-taxable gain on deemed termination of Pixar
⎯
distribution agreement (0.02 ) nm
⎯
Impairment of Pixar related sequel projects 0.01 nm
Diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding certain
items related to dispositions and acquisitions (1) $ 1.50 $ 1.21 24 %
Diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding certain items related to dispositions and acquisitions may not
(1)
equal the sum of the column due to rounding.
Net borrowings – The Company believes that information about net borrowings
provides investors with a useful perspective on our financial condition. Net borrowings
reflect the subtraction of cash and cash equivalents from total borrowings. Since we
earn interest income on our cash balances that offsets a portion of the interest expense
we pay on our borrowings, net borrowings can be used as a measure to gauge net
interest expense. In addition, a portion of our cash and cash equivalents is available to
repay outstanding indebtedness when the indebtedness matures or when other
circumstances arise. However, we may not immediately apply cash and cash
equivalents to the reduction of debt, nor do we expect that we would use all of our
available cash and cash equivalents to repay debt in the ordinary course of business.
Free cash flow – The Company uses free cash flow (cash provided by continuing
operating activities less investments in parks, resorts and other property), among other
measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for
purposes other than capital expenditures. Management believes that information about
free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to
service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments and pay dividends or
repurchase shares.
9
10. Aggregate segment operating income – The Company evaluates the performance of its
operating segments based on segment operating income, and management uses
aggregate segment operating income as a measure of the performance of operating
businesses separate from non-operating factors. The Company believes that
information about aggregate segment operating income assists investors by allowing
them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of
businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing
separate insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results.
A reconciliation of segment operating income to income from continuing operations
before income taxes and minority interests is as follows (in millions):
