Conglomeratization
Steve Jobs is
head of Pixar Animation Studios and the head of Apple. He is not
the owner of these companies but he is the CEO of both. That is the closest
sign of conglomeratization I have found.
Globalization
Pixar is definitely
golbalizing, the company currently is the owner of eight patents issued
in the United States, one patent issued in the United Kingdom, one patent
issued in France, one patent issued in Germany, one patent issued in Japan,
two patents issued in Canada and one patent issued by the European Patent
Office. (source click here)
Media synergy
Synergy is very
present in Pixar in its cooperation with Disney. Other companies include
Silicon Graphics and Microsoft Corporation. "In 1996, Pixar entered
into a license agreement with Silicon Graphics whereby Pixar granted to
Silicon Graphics and its subsidiaries a non-exclusive license to use certain
of Pixar's patents covering techniques for creating computer-generated
photo-realistic images. These same patents were licensed to Microsoft Corporation
in 1995." (source click here)
