Since becoming 188bet online casino games CEO in 2005，Reliance on what was built by one’s own hands“Content is king、Technological Innovation、Global expansion”Strategy，Iger brings 188bet online casino games to an all-time high，Outstanding achievements。Iger has extended his retirement plan many times，The outside world seems to be used to it“Iger+188bet online casino games”13778_13781。

But the feast ended.

Farewell，The friendly and harmonious atmosphere did not continue。Recent，Iger made suggestions to the new 188bet online casino games and the company，The core is“Don’t use data to solve creative problems”。

188bet online casino games considered to be Egger’s “Advice”。

Creativity is Iger’s deep imprint at 188bet online casino games，It’s 188bet online casino games’s“Age Times”High-gloss important weapon。

And data，Almost Chapek's“Pronoun&188bet online casino games;，One of his biggest characteristics is，Research data，Let data speak for everything。

188bet online casino games raises a series of questions:

“Advice&188bet online casino games;What happened behind the scenes？

Chapek was selected，What choices did 188bet online casino games’s board of directors or investors make？

What problems is 188bet online casino games currently facing?

Is 188bet online casino games a game between long-termism and short-termism?

Chapek is considered to lack leadership skills，Is the 188bet online casino games throne stable?？

Aige“Suddenly&188bet online casino games;Resignation，Why give another advice？

The outside world once believed that Iger was not the first choice for 188bet online casino games CEO。

Before Iger，Former 188bet online casino games CEO Michael·Michael Eisner was credited with revitalizing troubled companies in the 1980s，To create a great reputation in the industry，However, the internal fighting with other senior officials during his tenure paved the way for his early resignation。Starting in 2005，In malicious rights exchange and with shareholders、After multiple fights with former board members，Eisner stepped down as CEO one year before his contract expired。

188bet online casino games’s board of directors is also looking for a new CEO，Includes several external candidates，And Iger, then COO，Finally in October 2005，Officially takes over as CEO。188bet online casino games enters“Age Times”。

Based on public information，Iger presented his vision for change to the board，188bet online casino games also his new development strategy: content is king (invest in innovative content)、Technological Innovation、Global expansion。This became an important factor for his smooth takeover。

188bet online casino games strategy has been implemented concretely after Iger took the helm.

During tenure，Iger has completed multiple large-scale acquisitions，Turn 188bet online casino games into a diversified entertainment giant，Including the acquisition of Pixar Animation Company (US.4 billion)、Marvel Comics (42.USD 400 million)、Lucasfilm (40.0 million) and 20th Century Fox (.3 billion)，This makes 188bet online casino games the master of Star Wars、An entertainment giant with heavyweight IPs such as Marvel Comics and "Alien"。

Aige reforms the department，A major move is，The Central Strategic Planning Department (or “Strategic Decision Committee”) is delegated to each independent business division，To ensure that each department develops strategies according to its own needs，Somewhat similar from“Centralization”Towards“Federal Autonomy”，Each department has appointed CTO，But the 188bet online casino games Group CTO is specifically vacant。

Aige’s intention is，Give each business department the ability to conduct different experiments and attempts，Even if some work ends in failure，You don’t have to worry about the company’s supervision。188bet online casino games for the creative department，Quite important。

Iger also established the Imagineering Laboratory at 188bet online casino games，Building a virtual reality studio，Use bionic robots，Also invest in smart bracelets, etc.，Combined with cutting-edge technology，Improve 188bet online casino games’s technological innovation capabilities。

June 2016，Shanghai 188bet online casino games opens，188bet online casino games’s global expansion drops an important step。

via creative“Central Brain”，188bet online casino games’s top unique content，Coupled with the continuous integration of cutting-edge technologies，Develop or reinvent a franchise，Innovative products appear frequently，188bet online casino games enters rapid development channel，Our position in the global themed entertainment industry continues to consolidate。188bet online casino games is not just an entertainment company，It is also a technology company with outstanding capabilities。

Levin&bull, chairman of Industrial Light & Magic, the special effects division of Lucasfilm•Brennan said earlier，Innovation Center Hybrid、The real advantages of diversified development，It is not simply reflected in financial performance，But it brings substantial changes to corporate culture，188bet online casino games is no longer what it used to be。He thinks，Synergy means a lot at 188bet online casino games，As they push for new ways and new ways of thinking about things，This is a great support。

It can be said，Iger’s reforms reshaped 188bet online casino games，His retirement plan has also been postponed many times，It seems that the outside world is not ready for 188bet online casino games without Iger yet。

But suddenly，February 2020，Iger announced his resignation as 188bet online casino games CEO。He will continue to serve as chairman of the group until the end of 2021。Bob Chapek, Chairman of 188bet online casino games Theme Park Division (Bob·Chapek) will take over as CEO，Decision has taken effect。

During the Transition as Chairman of 188bet online casino games，Iger is mainly responsible for creative business (responsible for coordinating the content played on the 188bet online casino games+ platform during the epidemic)，Mid-July 2021，Iger attended the last board meeting，And recently resigned as chairman of 188bet online casino games。

When resigning as CEO，Eger once said，With the successful launch of 188bet online casino games’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) business，The integration of 21 Fox is also in progress，I think now is the best time for 188bet online casino games to appoint a new CEO。I love Bob (Bob·Chapek) has 100% confidence，In the next 22 months，I look forward to working closely with him，In his new role, he will gain in-depth knowledge of multiple aspects of 188bet online casino games’s global business and operations，And I will continue to focus on the creative side of 188bet online casino games’s business。”

But something different from these words，Aige's“Leave&188bet online casino games;It doesn’t look so harmonious。

At a recent farewell meeting，Iger made some suggestions to the new CEO and the company。He said，In this world and industry where data is everywhere，Using data to solve all problems, including creativity, is undoubtedly attractive，But I hope all of you don’t do this。He also gave an example，In the past few years，If you rely on data everywhere，It is impossible for 188bet online casino games to make popular movies such as "Black Panther", "Coco", and "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings"。

Talking about the position of new 188bet online casino games Chapek，Eiger said，The world is changing rapidly，The 188bet online casino games of any company needs to respond quickly to all challenges。He may solve these problems and challenges differently than I do，But it doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad。Change is generally good，Change is not necessarily a bad thing。

Previously，Iger said when talking about the reasons for his resignation，He feels like he is listening less，May not be willing to listen to other people’s opinions，Maybe it’s because I am too confident，This is also the result of long-term work experience。“I feel that I have become less tolerant of other people’s opinions，This is also a sign that I think I should retire，This is not the reason why I left 188bet online casino games，But an important consideration。”

A lot of words here，It can be understood that Iger said it to the new 188bet online casino games Chapek。The tone and content seem insufficient“Friendly”，What happened？

Creativity，is one of 188bet online casino games’s core tags，This is also the deep imprint Iger left on 188bet online casino games，Yes“Age Times”High-gloss important weapon。

And data，Almost Chapek's“Pronoun&188bet online casino games;，One of his biggest characteristics is，Research data，Let data speak for everything。

Don’t use data to solve creative problems，Iger left it to Chapek“Advice&188bet online casino games;?？

Is Chapek’s 188bet online casino games throne stable?

Focus on creativity，And Iger’s heavy investment in content and technology，In combination with 188bet online casino games’s development over the past 10 years，This somewhat proves Iger’s forward-looking vision，And the value of long-termism shown in it。

And value data，Let data speak，Seems to be more short-termist in value？

Why did the 188bet online casino games board of directors finally choose Chapek?

The impact of the epidemic on 188bet online casino games may be a factor.

188bet online casino games’s fiscal year 2020 revenue 653.USD 8.8 billion，Net loss 28.US.2 billion，The theme park sector is the most severely affected。And the revenue in fiscal year 2019 is 695.USD 700 million，Net profit 110.US.4 billion。

One of Chapek’s main tasks as CEO may be，Focus on and solve 188bet online casino games’s short-term (or next few years) survival and development issues，Seeking to improve the company’s financial condition。

Chapek focuses on data and the performance it brings，May be a plus。

His experience as a 188bet online casino games executive began in 1993，The then CEO Eisner said，He is the kind of executive who can clearly see a future ahead，He not only knows how to grow business，Can also make timely adjustments in the competitive market competition。

However, not everyone has given positive feedback on Chapek’s style。After he was promoted to 188bet online casino games，Colleagues’ evaluation is，a“Taking data as direction，Businessmen aiming for revenue，Lack of creative experience，I don’t have Iger’s elegance and talent”。People’s impression of him is，Too much focus on data-driven business aspects，ignoring the importance of creativity。No matter whether this style is ultimately right or wrong，Data has a major impact on defining his leadership style。

Since Chapek became 188bet online casino games CEO，His leadership style can best be reflected in one thing。

2020，In response to the financial crisis caused by the epidemic，188bet online casino games announced 2 layoffs at the end of September.80,000 employees；In October Chapek also made major adjustments to the company's organizational structure and senior executives，The main goal is to shift the focus to the streaming media entertainment business，The biggest change is，Incorporate the traditionally largest media network business into content distribution，In new business focusing on advertising sales and 188bet online casino games+。For this，188bet online casino games appoints former president of games and publishing business to head new media distribution group，His main task is to ensure that 188bet online casino games+ and other 188bet online casino games-owned streaming media platforms can be profitable in the future。

However，In terms of data，This time 188bet online casino games’s organizational structure adjustment has achieved certain success，The performance of DTC (customer-oriented business) business exceeded expectations。This is naturally related to the fact that the epidemic has caused more people to stay at home，Concerning more online consumption，So we are focusing on streaming media business，It’s a timely move。Considering the fierce competition in future traffic entrances and content supply，This also has long-term considerations。

Focus on streaming media business，Short-termism，There is also the value of long-termism，But at 188bet online casino games stage，The short term is more prominent。

Two other decisions Chapek made，Also shows his data-focused style，First, launch 188bet online casino games Genie；The second is to reschedule the contract period of senior executives (no longer sign multi-year contracts，Annual or performance appraisal)，Very intuitive，This is based on short-termist performance or achievements“Speak”，If it doesn’t work, we may not renew the contract。

Focus on 188bet online casino games Genie。This is the new system introduced to replace FastPass and FastPass+ at Disneyland，More focused on data-driven。One of its core is，Allow tourists to make reservations to enter the park according to calendar dates to effectively improve passenger flow。The system will analyze visitors based on their usage patterns，The estimated waiting time for popular attractions in the park will change based on data，The more data you have，The more accurate the estimate。The final result is，The prices of popular attractions are determined by supply and demand。

With the widespread use of Genie，188bet online casino games system is expected to reduce Disneyland congestion and queue time issues based entirely on data results，It will have a long-term impact on Disneyland’s passenger flow control。

The outside world has received mixed reactions to 188bet online casino games Genie，But many tourists purchased this new service。

In a way，Multiple decisions or measures taken by Chapek after becoming CEO，With its own personal style，But it may also“Inheritance”Win the will of many investors，Under a certain amount of pressure。There is an investor request，When 188bet online casino games releases new movies in theaters，Also add more content on the 188bet online casino games+ platform，No additional membership fees can be charged yet。

To this，A Hollywood analyst said，188bet online casino games investors are putting pressure on Chapek，Ask him to invest more in streaming content，Even if doing so will put tremendous pressure on creative talents。

In the current situation，Chapek’s opportunities for capital investment and creative design projects are greatly limited。

From the aforementioned "Iger";Advice&188bet online casino games;Come and see，At least he is not satisfied with Chapek's performance since taking office，To the latter“Data&188bet online casino games;Possible continuation of leadership style，also expressed some objections and concerns。

Is Chapek’s 188bet online casino games throne stable?

A theme park industry expert analyzed that，Eisner became CEO of The Walt 188bet online casino games Company in 1984，Only 42 years old，21 years in office，Resigned in 2005，63 years old at that time。Iger took over as CEO at the age of 54，Resigning in 2020 after serving for 15 years，68 years old at that time。In comparison，Chapek becomes 188bet online casino games CEO in 2020，Already 60 years old。

The impact of the epidemic and changes in the market environment，The future of the entertainment industry, including theme parks and film and television entertainment, is full of uncertainty，Considering Chapek’s current age when he takes office，A question is，How far can Chapek lead 188bet online casino games？

Different from Eisner and Egger，Chapek’s experience at 188bet online casino games was mostly business-related，Little experience in participating in creative design and content production business。Eisner’s success lies in developing businesses such as theme parks that 188bet online casino games is not involved in，Brings huge revenue and profits to the company，Iger’s success lies in his investment in technology and large-scale mergers and acquisitions transactions，The old business that Chapek is best at is only the specific business within the 188bet online casino games Company (theme parks、Experience、Consumer goods, etc.)，Relatively limited resume，Focus on business aspects，But in leadership、Creativity、Not outstanding enough in terms of mergers and acquisitions and influence。

Some insiders speculated，Chapek may be a transitional figure in 188bet online casino games’s current predicament，188bet online casino games may jumpstart search for new CEO，Find a young man，Foresighted，A young man with leadership qualities and strong creativity，This person may be Lachlan Murdoch (the son of 188bet online casino games’s major shareholder Murdoch)。

Public contract information display，Chapek’s contract term is February 28, 2023，Only 3 years。Of course，Whether his term will be extended next，Unknown yet。

However, some people are optimistic about Chapek.

Since Chapek became CEO and also took charge of the creative business management，The way 188bet online casino games deals with Hollywood has also undergone some changes。Some executives think，He will lead 188bet online casino games to the next stage of growth。Marvel Studios President Kevin·Fauci said，Chapek’s ability was“Underestimation”了，He is“Very creative、Very kind，A very real person”。
