...Application of Probabilistic methods to predict individual match results in the Indian Premier league (IPL): Vijayakumar Ramamoorthy1, Saravana kumar Selvaraj2 1,2 Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St.John’s, NL, Canada, A1B 3X5 Abstract The Indian Premier League is one of the professional Twenty20 cricket league which is conducted in India annually by franchise teams representing Indian cities. The IPL is the mostwatched Twenty20 league worldwide. In 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube. The brand value of the 2014 Indian Premier League was estimated to be US$7.2 billion. Cricket is one of the game which includes lots of betting and predictions. Due to this reason many researchers try out different methods to introduce new models to predict the result of the match. In this report we are making an attempt to predict the outcomes of some of the most important matches that will be played in the Indian Premier league in the forth coming year from April 8 to May 29. We use the Poisson distribution to create a model with which we will be able to predict (1) if there is any Home ground advantage to the home team, 2) Probability of the total runs per over that will be scored in the match by individual teams, finally we will predict which team will win the match using this model. We use the data from the previous seasons 2014 and 2015 to predict these matches. This model introduces...

...IPL: Why call it a Controversial League Indian Premier League in its 5th season was once again a huge triumph, generating great zeal and enthusiasm amongst the fans, pulling them in to the cricket stands and turning out to be full ‘paisa vasool’. The season saw intense and competitive cricket with the flavour of entertainment. Stats give us a sound indication of the impact that it has had on the cricket fans. The indispensable factor for the revenue generation this season has been the jam-packed stadiums. Though, there has been a dip in the TRP of the league but it continues to be the most popular platform for the companies to reach their target customers through the advertisements slot. However, this would be just one dimension of the ‘controversial league’. I call it controversial because of the uncalled events that occurred during the league and the criticism it garnered from varied corners ranging from the cricket experts, common man and even the MLAs. SRK’s brawl at the MCA, allegations on Pomersbach, spot-fixing and cricketers getting caught in the rave party, all these instances have called for introspection of the league. I take a differing stand form what our politicians and certain news channels took. Instead of belittling the existence of the high profile cricket tournament and even raising demands to shut it down people should have been wiser. The league in question is ‘The Indian Domestic Cricket tournament’ which has generated tremendous revenue for the BCCI...

...equity from Mallya himself. Media reports often analyze how Mallya promotes the `Kingfisher' brand by associating it with lifestyle events like horse-racing, Formula 1 racing and prestigious launches. Reflecting on how he contributes enormously to it through his own flamboyant lifestyle, it is pertinent to probe into the prospects of Kingfisher's brand extension. The Kingfisher brand has come to epitomize a lifestyle that encompasses some of the finest things in life and is today synonymous with delivering a premium experience. - Vijay Mallya Brand Kingfisher I am the brand ambassador; I am the `King of Good Times',said Mallya, the brainchild of Kingfisher brand launched in the year 1980. Reports say that Mallya, while working in Kolkata (Indian city in the eastern state of West Bengal), felt that none of the existing beer brands Black Label, Kalyani, etc., were stimulating. Mallya, wanting to create a vibrant brand, went back to Bangalore (Mallya's hometown), rummaged through archives and stumbled upon an old label with a picture of Kingfisher on it. That manifested the birth of the...

...RESEARCH PAPER A Comparative Study of BTL in Building up the Brand In Indian Spirit Market In Case Of Royal Challenge against Royal Stag Whisky Praveer Gupta The main objective of the working paper is to understand the performance of Royal Challenge Whisky since its inception and to measure the potential of Royal Challenge brand as a premium segment whisky. This also explains the role of BTL strategies carried out so far and a few consumer insights about the market so as to forecast its position. Page | 1 RESEARCH PAPER Abstract Royal Challenge Whisky brand was launched in 1886 by Shaw Wallace & company. The brand had a healthy growth of about 10 percent till 2005 when the company was bought by the country’s largest spirit maker United Spirits Limited. RC had sales above one million cases in the year 2003-04 with a market share of 56 percent in the premium segment whisky which had grown to 65 percent at the end of December 2003 in competition with UB Spirits Division’s Signature Whisky and Seagram’s Blenders Pride. Over the year, UB kept working on the brand to bring up the same position by various marketing activities like linking the brand with IPL cricket Team (Royal Challengers Bangalore) and an associate sponsor of India's first Formula 1 team Force India etc. In 2014, Diageo bought majority stake in USL and came up with pricing strategy to decrease the prices in order to retain the market share, while other companies such as Pernod Ricard...

...was an executive at Xilinx, a major semiconductor company at Silicon Valley, Rajat Gupta who was a former head of Mckinsey, he also served as chair member in Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, an important member of business schools, companies and also Goldman Sachs. Gupta was one of top elite class business man who has investment ties with Galleon management and did very personal favors to Rajaratnam by abusing his powers. Rajat Gupta was a close to state legislatures and he was very greedy as he was trying to go to another private equity firm which Rajaratnam did not like. Raj Rajaratnam had informants and tipsters and he also had a girl named Danielle Chiesi whom he counts as his most enthusiastic informants and she was a beauty queen from Upstate New York who also worked at New Castle hedge fund investment firm. She slept with men who gave her stock tips in her midtown apartment and later she developed a very close relationship with a man named Hector Ruiz who was chief executive of A.M.D. That gave Raj Rajaratnam a highly credible source and inside information which he was getting from Kumar. In October 2008, Kieran Taylor who was an executive with Alkamai which was an Internet Service provider company passed inside information about the stocks of Alkamai to Chiesi who later gave it to Rajaratnam. The downfall of Raj Rajaratnam started with one text form his own informant named Roomy Khan. He received a tip on a text message stated, “Don’t buy Polycom’s...

...Introduction paragraph * IPL Inc. is a leader in the Canadian injection molded plastics industry, specializing in the design, manufacture, printing and marketing of plastic products, mainly intended for industrial uses and made of thermoplastic resins. IPL distinguishes itself from competitors through its emphasis on better quality and performance products, superior engineering and service, innovativeness and the capacity to meet customers’ specific needs. Objective * Julien Metivier, CEO of IPL Inc. * Make a decision, in the next month and respond to Ford’s contract offer as well as deciding on several other projects IPL is considering. * What direction should the company move into? * Find an alternative that will agree with all his managers and avoid major disagreements among IPL’s executives and unnecessary threats to the company’s successful strategy. Analysis * Because of the fluctuating nature of demand, as well as price sensitivity traditionally associated with custom molding, IPL had historically limited its involvement in this activity. The appearance for high-volume markets for custom molding, particularly in the auto industry, had encouraged IPL set its involvement with custom molding to 25 percent. * It was common for producers of proprietary products to also devote a portion of their activities to custom molding in order to increase utilization of production capacity...

...future prospect. His profound technique is in line of comparison with some of the all-time greats. But he kept surprising people with the numbers. If you happen to miss out on action of cricket for some time and down the line few years later, if we look at Rohit’s cricketing numbers one definitely has to wonder if he is the same guy whom we expected things from. Had there been another of the same name into Indian cricket team? Have a look at the stats and there are dismal. Has two one day double hundreds to his name, the only batsman in cricketing history as of now but a batting average under 38. The cricketing experts back him, the team management backs him. With seven years of International cricket and still not a deserving place in the Indian cricket team says it all about the consistency which he displayed. Then what is that’s more enticing about his game? Is it the Lazy elegance? Is it the aura of ease that hangs in when he bats around. When we say sporting is for entertainment, we get lots of it when he bats. He is definitely not the reliable ones but as an mediocre Indian cricket fan I am looking for something lesser than winning, just entertainment LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH EASIER A three year old kid doesn’t even have a hint of idea of where he is being taken to. From quite a distance, he could see lots of kids of his age, as if they were arrayed in a matrix. He realises he has finally come to the most haunted place of his life.

...a non-event, for the move to open the bowling with left-arm spinner Ankeet Chavan almost yielded success when Tendulkar was trapped in front first ball. Paul Reiffel, the umpire, felt the ball pitched outside leg when it hadn't. Chavan should have had Tendulkar again in the sixth over, catching him on the pads during an attempted pull, but Reiffel, once more, felt otherwise. Shane Watson's early breakthroughs - he dismissed T Suman and Ambati Rayudu in successive overs - coupled with Chavan's discipline had deprived Mumbai of an attacking start they would have hoped for after choosing to bat, though Tendulkar's reprieves gave them the opportunity to rebuild. Rohit Sharma had won praise from Warne as one of the most exciting talents in Indian cricket, and he undoubtedly would have impressed his opposing captain with his performance today. He quickly took the lead in the stand with Tendulkar, smashing Watson over midwicket and charging out to Chavan to dispatch him over mid-on. His stand-out shot was an imposing drive against Warne through extra cover, matched by a delightful punch in the same region off Johan Botha who couldn't restrain Rohit despite chasing him as he made room. In the battle of the heavyweights, Warne managed to induce a leading edge from Tendulkar, who followed up with a slash past point and a controlled thump over mid-off (both for twos) despite being surprised by the turn and bounce. The contest was cut short when Tendulkar...

...Introduction: Cricket, pre-IPL was a bit staid and long, engaging generally to young men from the sub-continent. It had lost its spark with the Englishmen and the West Indians apart from some notable exceptions like the Ashes. At the same time post IPL, we have had an altogether new kind of supporters who have grasped the diversion, its numerous contrasts with more and more thronging into stadiums to watch the matches. IPL figured out how to unite cricketers from diverse nationalities, lure them with fat pay checks, roped in enormous publicists who don't reconsider before spending too much on their brands for prime time eye space, got cheer leaders to cheer for teams and made their way into ICC's schedule. In this way, by a wise mixture of dealing with nature's domain almost consummately and organizing fabulous encounters each time a match was played, esteem creation was no more, the right of a solitary element. Rather, different stakeholders met up on a commonly remunerating stage and lavished the cricket cherishing swarms with some positively vital passage. The whole tournament was a runaway hit, with many attributable reasons. Some of them were: 1. India being a cricket crazy nation, anything with cricket sells. 2. By having regional teams for almost all big cities, IPL tackled the regionalist mind-set of Indians 3. With Cricketainment the IPL combined cricket and entertainment giving consumers a two-in one shot 4. Concept of cheer leaders was first for India. ...

...[Management Views from IIMB is an exclusive column written every two weeks for india.wsj.com by faculty members of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore.] Who sells the largest number of cameras in India? Your guess is likely to be Sony, Canon or Nikon. Answer is none of the above. The winner is Nokia whose main line of business in India is not cameras but cell phones. Reason being cameras bundled with cellphones are outselling stand alone cameras. Now, what prevents the cellphone from replacing the camera outright? Nothing at all. One can only hope the Sonys and Canons are taking note. Try this. Who is the biggest in music business in India? You think it is HMV Sa-Re-Ga-Ma? Sorry. The answer is Airtel. By selling caller tunes (that play for 30 seconds) Airtel makes more than what music companies make by selling music albums (that run for hours). Incidentally Airtel is not in music business. It is the mobile service provider with the largest subscriber base in India. That sort of competitor is difficult to detect, even more difficult to beat (by the time you have identified him he has already gone past you). But if you imagine that Nokia and Bharti (Airtel's parent) are breathing easy you can't be farther from truth. Nokia confessed that they all but missed the smartphone bus. They admit that Apple's Iphone and Google's Android can make life difficult in future. But you never thought Google was a mobile company, did you? If these ...

...M.S Dhoni-Leading all the way! If I were to be a part of a company ,wherein we were told to choose a leader under whom we were willing to work,I can’t think of a name other than M.S Dhoni. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the only captain in the world to have tasted success in all formats of the game, and that too in just four years. He led a young Indian team to victory in the inaugural T-20 Cricket Championship in September 2007. In December 2009, India became the top-ranked Test team in the world for the first time under his captaincy. He captained Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to victory in IPL,April 2010 and followed it up by lifting the Champions League Trophy for the same team in September. The mother of all victories came April,2011 when India won the ICC Cricket World Cup after 28 years. No wonder, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar ranks him the best among the nine captains he has played under in his 21-year career. Australian great Greg Chappell calls Dhoni the best captain in the world today. Former Indian skipper Kapil Dev has no qualms in accepting that Dhoni is a better captain. Very often India’s success has been attributed to Dhoni’s strong luck.However,more often than that there have been occasions when he surprised everyone with his decisions in the make or break situations.And almost everytime his gamble has paid off. Dhoni's decision to come in to bat at number five, ahead of the in-form Yuvraj Singh, in the World Cup finals would have cost him his job had the result...
