The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the management of sport in society. Through the course, the students will be introduced to a number of issues and dilemmas affecting contemporary sport. They will apply the theoretical knowledge gained through the course literature to analyse how these issues are managed by the involved organisations and discuss potential solutions and innovative perspectives. The mutual interdependence between sport and society, from the point of view of sport as well as society will be highlighted and problematised. As an example, just as sport is ever more used as a tool for development – public health, social integration and crime prevention – sport is also highly dependent on society in terms of financial, material and voluntary support, as well as a constant influx of new practitioners. Sport will be looked at as leisure activity as well as a highly commercialised and professionalised product. The knowledge in this course can be used by students interested in a future career in sport management – whether this means to work in or with sport organisations – but will also be of interest for those just wanting to increase their understanding of the relationship between society and one of its most impactful cultural institutions.
Main topics covered in the course include:

| Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Class sessions will consist of lectures and
include interactive presentations and case discussions. When
possible, relevant guest lecturers with experience from the
theoretical and practical frontiers of sports management will be
invited to provide perspectives on current issues.
Sport is a topic that many people have opinions about, yet few people base their opinions on theoretical knowledge. The format of this course is designed to promote understanding of both practice and theory and acquiring the skill to apply one to the other. Thus, elevating the capability of students to engage in informed problem solving and sustainable value creation at the intersection of sport and society. |

| Feedback during the teaching period | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Throughout the course, students will use the theories and models provided in course literature to prepare various positions and proposals for addressing the topics covered in lectures. There will be a variation between group and individual work. The students will receive peer to peer feedback through facilitated discussions, as well as oral feedback from the instructor and from guest lecturers on their propositions and ideas. Ahead of the final assignment, one lecture will be dedicated to developing the student's problem formulations for the assignment: students will prepare a brief synopsis outlining their envisioned assignment topic and theoretical approach, and will receive feedback from their peers and the instructor to help them sharpen their approach. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
