I believe Disney could absolutely be impacted by robotic analysis and
could even benefit from it, if they don’t already implement something
like this. The company is such a large conglomerate and after
reviewing its 2021 Annual report for our ongoing project, I can see
how the robotic analysis alongside human analysists could be
beneficial. Disney reports their financials under different segments
that roll up into one consolidated financial package (as many
companies do) and also report on different areas within those
segments (for example – revenues and expenses from operations in
different countries and what effects those have on their performance
under their Parks and Products segment). I believe the use of robotic
processes, if they don’t already use something like this, could provide
a more in-depth and accurate analysis on each aspect of the
company. Their notes to the financial statements are extensive
already, and this could help alleviate some of the work for analysists
so that they can focus on interpretations and solutions for the future.
