Business And Sports

Sport is the most ancient art of fun. Since ancient times every culture or civilization was involved in this activity. Every sport did involve some sort of physical excruciation but it kept the people busy which strangely them happy. In modern times, Indians have changed their attitude by dwelling into other sports and not being known as just a cricket playing country. Today a major chunk with a well mix of rural and urban population is coming out and joining various disciplines that falls under this category. Business is gaining momentum and one can find asports shop in every locality. Sport is estimated to be a business of more than 5bn USD in India.

Huge brands such as nike, adidas, etc are aggressively exploiting the market by providing franchisee to make their brands awareness felt and discounts to lure the customers. A lot of e-commerce websites are opening up to cater the same audience by providing a huge range of products at the consumer"s desk. Buying sports equipment online the up-coming trend and businesses (which involve sports) are gearing up to skim such a huge opportunity. Buying sports goods online do create the fear of receiving improper goods, to end such dilemma firms are going one step ahead by providing features such as free shipping, cash on delivery, etc, to keep the consumer at bay from their arch-rivals. The range of products present at the website is very huge relatively to the products present in the store. By 2015, revenue of such firms in total is estimated to surpass the mark of 1Billion USD, give rise to another round of new millionaires to India.

Due to progressive advent in sports other businesses such as sale of fitness equipments, gyms, nutritional foods, etc, have been seen to gain momentum as well. There had been a sharp rise of 23% in the past year to cater towards the demand and a lot of new businesses opening up in the same area to have a share of the huge pie. Businesses which do not directly support the field of sports such as airtel, McDonalds, Coca Cola etc; are seen to advertise in events such as Olympics, Football World Cup, etc, to position their brands more closely to their consumers. Pepsi Co. had initially built its whole market in India by aggressively advertising at cricket events to develop a close bond with its consumers. With high competition and its spirit of fun, sports still rules the world, though every sport compared to its original form has been adapted to suit the complexity of today"s lifestyle, yet it"s still the best.

Chinese leader in economy warning

WORLD NEWS

China's economic woes that have brought growth to a three-year low 'will continue for some time'

China's economic woes that have brought growth to a three-year low will continue for some time, but the slower expansion remains within expectations, premier Wen Jiabao says.

Speaking during a tour of the south-western city of Chengdu, Mr Wen said the Chinese need to recognise the seriousness and complexity of the challenges the country faces. But he added that China's economic fundamentals remain favourable.

"At present, our country's economic growth rate remains within the target range set earlier this year and we are seeing the effectiveness of stabilisation policies," Mr Wen said in remarks posted on the central government's official website.

The government will prioritise job creation and provide financial aid and tax breaks to companies suffering from slowing exports due to sinking overseas demand, Mr Wen said. Private investment will be encouraged and the government will promote industrial upgrading and urbanisation to spur consumption, he said.

"All regions and departments need to proceed with even greater determination and courage," Mr Wen said.

His comments follow the government's announcement on Friday that the world's second-largest economy grew by 7.6% in the three months ending in June over a year earlier. That was the lowest since the first quarter of 2009 during the depths of the global financial crisis.

Growth was down from the previous quarter's 8.1%, dampening hopes that China can make up for US and European weakness, but in line with the government's official target of 7.5% for the year

Private-sector forecasters say the economy may have bottomed out during the first two quarters and China still is likely to achieve its target for the year.

Export growth has fallen and consumer spending weakened despite stimulus measures including two interest rate cuts since the start of June. The government is also pumping money into the economy through higher investment by state-owned industry and more spending on low-cost housing and other public works.

However, Beijing is moving cautiously after its 2008 stimulus pushed up inflation and spurred a wasteful building boom. Authorities have said curbs imposed on building and home sales to cool surging housing prices will remain in place.

2012 Essence Fest crowd down 2 percent to 413,000

NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? The 2012 Essence Music Festival drew 413,000 people to New Orleans for the four-day event held over the Fourth of July weekend.

That's down two percent from the 422,000 who gathered for last year's festival, when it ran for three days.

This was the 18th anniversary of the festival, which features nightly concerts at the Superdome and free, daily "empowerment" seminars and community events at the city's convention center.

A fourth day was added this year to focus on youth and the next generation of stars, including Diggy Simmons, the OMG Girlz and Roshon Fegan.

Headliners included Aretha Franklin, Charlie Wilson, Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Trey Songz, Chaka Khan, Fantasia, comedian Kevin Hart and D'Angelo.

JJB Sports blames Euro 2012 disappointment for profit warning

Neil Saunders, managing director of Conlumino, the research company, said: "Considering that this year is one of the most significant in the sporting calendar for a generation, JJB?s numbers are extremely disappointing ? all the more so as they demonstrate a marked deterioration in trading since the last update."

However, Mathew McEachran, an analyst at Singer Capital Markets, said that he was confident the Olympics will be a definite boost to sporting goods retailers, but JJB was struggling with the competition. "I'm inclined to believe this is a JJB problem, not a market problem."

JJB also revealed that Robert Corliss, an American who has worked for a number of sporting goods retailers, will replace chairman Mike McTighe on September 1. Mr McTighe is leaving after just 20 months in the post. The company statement said that this short period had been "intense" for Mr McTighe.

Mr Corliss is currently president and chief executive of menswear company Robert Talbott and will continue to live in America. A source said that he would dedicated five to ten days of his time to JJB.

Mr Corliss said: "JJB has been through some difficult times yet it is clear that there is a real market opportunity for a national authentic sports retailer here in the UK. JJB can be that retailer and I'm energised by the prospect of leading the company through the next phase of its turnaround."

JJB secured crucial funding from Dick's Sporting Goods, America's biggest sportswear retailer, in April. The US giant promised to pour up to ?40m into the struggling British chain. In return Dick's could end up with a 61pc stake.

Last year, JJB was forced to secure ?96.5m in funds from major shareholders, which include Bill Gates's foundation, as well close 43 unprofitable stores. Last year it suffered a pre-tax loss of ?101m, with like-for-like sales down by 13.1pc.

JJB shares fell 2.1p to 7.75p by lunchtime, with JD Sports falling 26p to 715.5p and Sports Direct dipping 3.6p to 306.8p.
