case study report for Levendary Café
Problem statement In 2011, the newly-minted CEO of Levendary Café, Mia Foster, was facing the greatest challenge of her career to date. With no previous experience as a chief executive and little background in international business, she was stepping up to take the reins of the $10 billion business.

Football (Soccer) Betting Strategy – Discover Winning by Picking Draws
There are punters who like the ‘draw’ market as it pays well. One common argument among these ‘draw’ punters is “Are draws independent of form, that is, are they random?”. There are two views : * One view is that draws are independent of previous results, that each match is different. These punters do not accept the theory that a draw is due just because it has not happened for a long time. They believe that the match outcome depends on circumstances and conditions of that particular game, for example : attacking and defending capabilities of both teams, weather on that day, pitch condition, etc. * There are opposing punters who feel strongly that the probability of draws depends on the previous games, that it boils down to the psychology and mentality of the players of the ‘drawish’ teams. Irrespective of whatever camp these draw specialists are in, all of Read More …
