The Lion King came out in '94, Eisner came in in '95. Pocahontas came out in '95 and Disney hasn't had a major hit since (with the exception of the properties that they have published for Pixar).
Eisner joined Disney in 1985 not 95. Eisner is the reason Disney the Corporation went from $291 million to $4.08 billion operating income.
I do think that his time with Disney is over, recently he has made decisions that are incredibly arrogant. In the eighties, early nineties he was a smart business man who pushed profits using creativity and budgets. Now he is beyong his game and trying to push profits with rehashes and big budgets. That being said, I know that relying on Roy Disney is a mistake also.

Don't be too harsh. Eisner turned Disney around in the eighties by turning its focus on movies and new characters.
Remember Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King?
Although I do agree some decisions have been less than beneficial as of late.

"Microsoft doesn't allow the Xbox Live service to be used for anything other than patches that affect online play."
Good thing too, or we'd have a bunch of half-finished games with a "We'll patch it later" attitude.
I'm tired of being a beta tester.
Not-For-Profit != Make no money
Not-for-profit organizations can and do make money. I know several not-for-profits that have a very healthy cash flow.
The great thing about an org of this type is that you channel your profits back into the organization and its people. Maybe then give some away also.
Not-for-profits aren't anti-capitalistic. they are simply another way to run a business.
