Your team has selected the preferred city by using robust problem solving techniques. You now need to develop a report for the Board outlining important features that will need to be considered before proceeding with the expansion.
In the business world this may be called a scoping report and can often lead to a full Business Case. This scoping report identifies the "Important" areas or issues and then finds answers to these big issues.
The scoping report you develop will be preliminary and have several sections covering important areas that must he considered before any project is commenced. As an individual you will complete and be assessed on your individual research component of the report.
The scoping areas that should be addressed:
• Risk Profile - how Disney can manage/lower any risk that may impact the project.
• Financing - how Disney will find the finance to fund the expansion.
• Marketing - how will Disney market their products and what is their demographic.
• Legal Systems - the main legal issues Disney may face in the expansion.
• Cultural inclusion - how Disney will ensure cultural inclusion in the expansion.
• Sustainability - how Disney can act within global sustainability guidelines (optional) allocations: Total time allowed 240 minutes.
