Draft





Introduction


I work for Education Wise and I have been asked by them to investigate a case. I am now looking into 20th Century Fox and I have a few words to say about it I would like to start with something about my company and how it has grown and who made this happen. I am speaking on behalf of education wise and would say that 20th Century Fox are conglomerate; this means that they are a company that is made of many small companies which are called subsidiaries. All the subsidiaries all and up to make a big company to make a stronger company. The difference between a conglomerate and an independent company is that an independent company works on its own and does everything itself and isn’t owned by another company and a conglomerate is made up of loads of companies which all do something towards the company to help it grow or make better. 20th Century Fox has many subsidiaries like (fox TV, sky, star, talk radio, fox home entertainment and sun the newspaper) this just shows how powerful 20th Century Fox is and has many companies to back them. Some examples of movies they have made are like (X men, Avatar, fantastic four, ice age, night in the museum.


Ownership


William Fox started the company in 1904 when he amazed many crowds with his talent of making films. Rupert Murdoch is one of the biggest shareholders but runs the company in many different ways.it all started in a small theatre on New York’s lower east side.20th Century Fox is now a worldwide company shown in every cinema around the world. The owner ship of this company is very important and 20th century has to have the right man for the job so it will be better for them in the future and puts them in a god position when going against competitors. As Rupert Murdoch’s son owns sky which is one of the biggest subsidiaries out of the many it just shows how much power Rupert really has.  As a conglomerate they will have big companies to be there subsidiaries. 20th Century Fox do use cross media to be able to promote there company better and they can cross over to different platforms and the outcome of this move is synergy. They are not independent because they are owned by 21st century fox and have subsidiaries.
