Choose the right perspective
Pick the person whose business area matches your decision, since sourcing for studio production, merchandise, technology and parks each involves different suppliers and contracts. Check whether the person's Disney role is current and which Disney segment it sat in before asking how Disney buys today.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02What does a good sourcing process look like for creative and production work, where quality and timing matter as much as price?
- 03How do you manage merchandise suppliers across Asia while keeping product quality and brand standards consistent?
