Abstract We Analyze the Careers of Esports Professional Players
Paper to be presented at DRUID19 Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen, Denmark June 19-21, 2019 Esport Superstars Michael R. Ward University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Economics [email protected] Alexander S. Harmon University of Texas at Arlington Economics [email protected] Abstract We analyze the careers of Esports professional players. The Esport industry has been able to monetize growing spectator demand to offer tournament prize money amounting to $113 million in 2017. A few hundred players, out of tens of thousands, earn enough to remain professional gamers exclusively. We examine three aspects of professional Esport player careers. First, a ?superstar’ effect leads to increases in the top prizes drawing amateurs into the professional ranks. Next, while age and experience affect player performance, player ability remains difficult to assess. Finally, career exits reflect a quick resolution regarding the uncertainty in player ability. Preliminary - Please do not quote ESport Superstars I. Introduction Esports refers to competitive video gaming at the professional level. Esports emulates traditional sports with player endorsements and sponsorships, spectators packing into arenas for tournaments, lucrative broadcasting deals, and recruiting from the college ranks. What had started as friendly competition and socialization events just over two decades ago, currently has a 226 million viewer global audience generating $696 million in revenue that is expected to reach nearly $1.5 billion USD by 2020.1 Total prize money across all games played totaled $113 million in 2017, with top earner Kuro Takhasomi (aka KuroKy) grossing $2.44 million. However, payouts are heavily skewed with a median annual earnings of less than $1,000.2 The size and skewness in earnings suggest a market for superstar talent (Rosen, 1981). -

Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines
Philippine Management Review 2013, Vol. 20, 65‐82. Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines Ben Paul B. Gutierrez and Rafael A. Rodriguez* University of the Philippines, College of Business Administration, Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines This paper describes the diversification strategies of 11 major Philippine business groups. First, it reviews the benefits and drawbacks of related and unrelated diversification from the literature. Then, it describes the forms of diversification being pursued by some of the large Philippine business groups. The paper ends with possible explanations for the patterns of diversification observed in these Philippine business groups and identifies directions for future research. Keywords: related diversification, unrelated diversification, Philippine business groups 1 Introduction This paper will describe the recent diversification strategies of 11 business groups in the Philippines. There are various definitions of business groups but in this paper, these are clusters of legally distinct firms with a managerial relationship, usually by virtue of common ownership. The focus on business groups rather than on individual firms has to do with the way that business firms in the Philippines are organized and managed. Businesses that are controlled and managed by essentially the same set of principal owners are often organized as separate corporations, not as separate divisions within the same firm, as is often the case in American corporations like General Electric, Procter and Gamble, or General Motors (Echanis, 2009). Moreover, studies on emerging markets have pointed out that business groups often occupy dominant positions in the business landscape in markets like India, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Khanna & Palepu, 1997; Khanna & Yafeh, 2007). -
