IPL



18/41

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is based upon

the Twenty20 cricket game which should be

completed in 2 hours. That means that is fast-

paced and exciting, and can be played on a

weekday evening or weekend afternoon

It is very appealing as a mass sport, just like

American Football, Basketball and Soccer.

It is appealing to TV audiences as well.

As an outing for family it is competing with

movies.



20/41

There is a huge opportunity for

merchandising e.g. sales of shirts, credit

cards and other fan memorabilia. Grounds

can also sell refreshments and other services

during the games.



21/41

Marketers believe that the teenage segments

need to be targeted so that they become the

long-term fan-base.

The youth market may also impress on their

parents that they want them to buy their

club's merchandise on their behalf - as a

differentiator or status symbol.



22/41

The best way to tackle these assumptions isto question your habits. If you can make aneffort to question the way you do things on aconsistent basis, you will find that you can

continually improve the way that you work.

Forming habits when they have been wellthought out is usually a positive thing, but

most of us have adopted our habits fromvarious people and places without eventhinking about them.



23/41

Watermelons, big and round, wasted a lot ofspace. Most people would simply tell the grocerystores that watermelons grow round and there isnothing that can be done about it.

That is how majority of people would respond.

But some Japanese farmers took a differentapproach. If the supermarkets wanted a squarewatermelon, they asked themselves, 'How can

we provide one?' It wasn'tlong before they invented the squarewatermelon.
