With pressure from stakeholders for continued revenue growth and profitability, the Walt Disney Corporation has taken an unusual approach to beef up its’ revenue lines, namely purchasing already established brands like it did with the Star Wars franchise in 2012 by paying over 4 billion USD. Unfortunately for the Mickey Mouse Company, the growth from Star Wars appears to be dwindling, with overall revenues decreasing with every Star Wars film released.

In a industry dominated by a small number of firms, Netflix has been able to establish itself through its own competitive advantage. While many competitors such as Hulu, Amazon and HBO offer their own streaming services, Netflix has established an advantage through developing exclusive content only available to Netflix subscribers.

Has the liberal arts education route become the Penicillin of the higher education realm? Proceeding from redundancy, this presupposed broad-spectrum choice of study has been around for quite some time. Potentially, it can be inferred that the liberal arts have been around at least since the days of Plato, who so eloquently promoted his humble yet satirical opinion of government.
