  • 1.0 Executive Summary
    • When one thinks of American culture, apple pie and baseball comes to mind. Baseball is a huge tradition in America, and Major League Baseball (MLB) has been expanding throughout the world, including the Dominican Republic and Japan. However, one country that has not yet reached its full potential in terms of baseball exposure is China. MLB plans to expand into China, appeal to the citizens and increase revenue while doing so.
    • During the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, the Wukesong Baseball Field was constructed as a temporary venue. After the Games, the fields were demolished in order to construct a shopping mall since there was lack of interest in the sport. This lack of interest and the 1.3 billion person population became a motive for MLB to enter into the Chinese market and develop a major league program and we believe it is an opportunity not to be missed.
    • To promote the sport, MLB will bring well known American players over to China. They also plan to train and educate the people of China in order to develop athletes. Programs will be instated to develop young talent and eventually spurt the interest of the Chinese population, and perhaps, even strike gold with the equivalent of a Yao Ming in baseball. However, this will be a long term investment from which MLB will look to reap the benefits down the road.
    • Our target markets will primarily be males between the ages of 6 and 17 years old. Along with this, we will try to appeal to the families of these children, as well as males between the ages of 18 and 65 years old. This allows for development of new athletes, as well as a market of curious and energetic people that will provide the purchasing power to fund the growth of baseball in China.
    • Currently, MLB is looking into TV broadcasting deals, merchandise sales, & corporate sponsors to raise revenues in China. As with the National Basketball Association (NBA), we forecast that revenues increase to $35 – $42 million annually in the next 6-7 years, and the potential for exponential growth just like the NBA beyond that point. As of 2010 Goldman Sachs valued the NBA in China at a whopping $2.3 billion: This is a number that opens the eyes of MLB in terms of expanding their global outreach.
    • Considering the history of the NBA in China and the potential market, there is no doubt Major League Baseball will have huge success with this opportunity in China.
