Course content and structure

The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of management and marketing issues in the context of sport. Sport has turned from being a movement driven by amateur ideals to a highly commercialised industry. As an example, the aggregate revenues in the European football market exceeded € 20 billion in 2015.

 

The transformation is mainly due to globalised television and the resulting commercialisation. Therefore the management of sport organisations today resembles traditional business management to a fairly high extent. However, there are many differences in the principles of management and marketing as well, which will be discussed during the course.

 

The knowledge in this course can be used by students that find a future interest in the context of sport. That could be e.g.  in a marketing role of traditional industries doing marketing through sports, or as marketers in sport organisations, or in managerial roles in sport and event organisations. 

 

Main topics to be covered in the course include:

 

- The globalisation and commercialisation of sport

- Stakeholder management

- Sponsorships

- Event management

- Fan motives and behaviour

- Sport brand management
Description of the teaching methods
Class sessions will consist of lectures and include interactive presentations and case discussions. The format of the course is thus based on a mixture of cases and theory, as it is our belief that understanding both practice and theory, and acquiring the skill to apply one to the other, should be the core of this course. Hence, classes will be used to partially review theory and promote critical discussion of theory application and to partially present and discuss cases. This discussion should, however, be guided by insights gained in the 'theoretical' readings and should lead to conclusions about the applicability of theoretical concepts in certain practical situations.
Feedback during the teaching period
Feedback to students will be given during student office hours.
