The idea that the advertisement is trying to sell is, “you can create anything with Legos.” If The Lego Company wanted to sell their product they would have made the advertisement more for kids instead of adults. The Lego Company has been creating toys for generations, therefore

The Lego Movie is a film that focuses on the impression of life in a Lego world but misses key concepts incorporated with Lego. At a first impression, the Lego Movie is viewed as a movie directed towards children to stir their imagination but this would be ironic to what is being portrayed in the film. By analyzing the ideas behind the movie in a sociological process, distinct themes can be connected and reflected within reality. The Lego Movie can be viewed in a functionalist perspective that is influenced by the conflict theory within the divided Lego society. To connect the sociological views to their society, one must understand how they interact and why they interact the way they do.

There are many barriers to new organizations in the toy industry, making the threat of new entrants low. Lego and other big toy companies like Mattel benefit from economies of scale. An economy of scale is achieved by lower costs through large volume production (Textbook glossary). Economies of scale can occur in many departments within the organization including production, marketing, research and development, and finance. Some manufacturing of Lego products was shifted to Central Europe and Mexico in order to benefit from lower wages and to shorten product supply chains (p. 13 of case). The management of Lego additionally holds expertise on production, distribution and customer needs; which are absent in a new organization. To enter the toy sector a potential entrant needs to calculate the start of production at a level that will give a competitive position and production costs lower than the market.

Ryan McMaken defends Lego’s gender marketing issue as he focuses on Lego primarily as a profit-seeking business, as well as a business who has proven to know exactly what they are doing. McMaken concentrates on how Lego’s introduction of their Friends Line increased the worth of the female construction toy industry’s from 300 million to 900 million dollars. Evidently, these Lego sets may appear stereotypical or sexist to some, but there are what many people prefer to buy. He explains that Lego, in a competitive industry, must aim to please consumers, meet their needs, and gain a competitive advantage. To do so, it is crucial to offer products that other companies may not; products that will satisfy the needs of all children. Therefore, after extensivea research, and various

The LEGO Movie, a story of a man in a communist world who wants change,and struggles to create it. Many say history repeats itself, however, with storytelling as well as the availability of information, societies today have a fighting chance to stop the

Lego President and CEO Jørgen Vig Knudstorp was surprised when Greenpeace activists, in an attempt to stop Arctic drilling, mounted a campaign criticizing his popular toy company for its cobranding relationship with Shell Oil. At first, Knudstorp and his executive team at Lego headquarters in Billund Denmark didn’t quite understand Greenpeace’s criticism. Was the criticism justified? Why didn’t Greenpeace tackle Shell directly? Would Greenpeace’s campaign be taken seriously or would it simply fade away? As Greenpeace beefed up its efforts through social media, Lego’s top management was left wondering how to respond to Greenpeace or whether they should respond at all. And more importantly, executives didn’t know whether Lego should continue its business relationship with Shell.

Lego Paper The Lego Movie illustrates Friedrich Nietzsche’s theory of the opposing Apollonian and Dionysian impulses. The terms come from two gods of Greek mythology, Apollo and Dionysus. Apollo representing order and stasis and Dionysus representing movement and instinct. In the movie, the opposing impulses are manifested in the free spirited Master Builders and systematic Lord Business.

The Lego Movie is exhibited in vibrant colors and with wonderful scenes full of hilarious jokes and irony. It is about a dystopian world with an illusion of it being an utopia. It features an everyday construction worker, Emmet, trying to fit in with others. They use instructions for what to do, how to live, and how to make something. Lord Business, the dictator, watches them, knows everything, and tries to bend the society to his will and version of perfection.

Is the Lego Movie just for kids or could the movie actually appeal to the older audiences? You would assume that Lego is only for kids because most kids play with them and the movie should appeal to the same audience, but some of the story line could appeal to older audiences. First off, there are a lot of examples of why it appeals to the younger audiences and some examples are that the humour is silly for example in the movie when Emmett is told to build something cool he builds a couch and the silly sounds in the movie appeal to any kids because laugh at the fart sounds or when the pirate boat made a funny sounding engine which sounded like a person horribly trying to imitate one with their mouth. Specifically for the young boys they would

The Toy Story films from Pixar are remembered fondly for their clever settings, good drama, and memorable characters. These films pretty much have what every good movie can be expected to have. One of the most fondly remembered characters of this film trilogy is the lead protagonist, Sheriff Woody. In Toy Story, a film where children’s toys secretly come to life when no human is around to witness them, Woody is the favorite toy of his own kid, Andy, who spends most of his spare time playing with him in particular, taking him throughout his home and treating the toy like a close friend, the same way a lot of kids tend to get attached to their own playthings. Because of the attention, Woody has no concern of ever being separated from his owner,

The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 and has come a long way in almost 80 years. With such global success in their brand, it was easy to choose an organization to interview that would provide us with the history and tools for analyzation of compensation plans. Below is the mission statement that can be found on the LEGO website:

Lego Group is the worlds’ fourth largest toy manufacturer. Their core product is a construction play design which allows for bricks to interlock together to design pre-designed or unique creations. In terms of volume and precision, the company relays on their core competence of “high volume precision molding” and has developed further strategies and technologies to ensure their growth and success in the area. The company is therefore faced with the difficulty in deciding how to protect this internal process and technology. Should this information be patented, kept as a trade secret, or published?
