Full textThe grouping of non-professional or amateur sports clubs is a partial or total pooling of their resources. Despite that it has been centrally and generally evoked in scientific researches based on business companies, grouping only has been partially conducted in research studies in the sport field. Our study aims to remove those non-professional/amateur sports clubs from anonymity, expose them to the public eye and facilitate their understandings as well. To accomplish this goal, we used a multidisciplinary approach of sport organizations (including their sociology, management and economy). To understand the phenomenon of grouping non-professional sports clubs. In order to grasp that phenomenon, we need to inquire about the factors at the origin of the groupings, the implementation of such decisions and, finally to inquire on their consequences on the daily life of the sporting club. To answer to inquiries, we analyzed meticulously, the organizational challenges of these groupings, their methods and process, the strategies and logics of action of the main actors, and the consequences of these groupings in the daily life of the club, particularly, on the aspects of culture and identity, economic and sporting, and as regards to the governance within the meaning of Gérard Charreaux (1997). The data collected under an analytical method were of two types: those principals were based on observations and talks and those secondaries were based on newspaper cuttings and documents internal to the clubs and FAF. The principal data consisted of 10 formal talks of an average of 50 minutes each and a hundred abstract talks, conceived in a spirit of complementarity and stepping. The secondary data were collected from 25 numbers of the Le Progrès newspaper from 1999 to 2015, which comprised approximately 50 pages of newspaper cut on the groupings of clubs, the GA and DC reports, meetings of trainers, as well as the status and special regulations of clubs and FAF. All those data were analyzed according to the triptych: qualitative analysis of contents by theorization and anchored strategic analysis actor-theory of the contingency, according to respectively, Pierre Paillé-M. Crozier & E. Friedberg-Henry Mintzberg. Beyond the two principal methods: agreements and fusion. The groupings of athletics’ clubs presented in our research are built collectively and locally. They are more interested, unstable and institutionalized. Five large groups of contingent factors lead the club towards the grouping: objective and manpower of the club, modernization of the club and development of the practice, and the local sporting policy. In this context of grouping of clubs, the managerial latitude of the leader of club remains conditioned on several levels, including, the territorial collectivity and FAF. Our dissertation through the theoretical framework chosen, makes it possible to clarify not only the challenges of grouping athletics’ clubs, the club’s interactions of territorial athletics-FFA-communities, the governance of these clubs, but also, stands out as a new comparative framework non-professional sporting clubs

Full textOrganizations Sports Social Club calls maintains a management model that characterizes them, which is the management performed by volunteers and supported by professional managers. The literature points out that the organizational structure of sport organizations is peculiar, especially in football clubs, which remains the boundary between the volunteers managers representing the executive and legislative and professional managers who are controlling and perform financial planning and activities. However there are few studies concerning the Social and Sporting Clubs. The aim of this study was to identify, describe and compare aspects of the management process of Social and Sporting Club sports area and examines them in the light of theories and management models. The research was qualitative approach being conducted field study with six Social and Sporting clubs of São Paulo. To do so, they were built and applied two instruments: questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with the bodies of sport managers. The information obtained was analyzed comparatively between the entities. It was found that the teams use traditional administrative models with organizational designs. The planning of these organizations is strictly based on the annual budget, with no or a multi-annual strategic planning. Decision making has as its foundation the personal experience of the volunteer manager, based on the experience of the professional manager. Cleared technical decision-making were found. The most important decisions as the club\'s management maintains a matter of rite with responsibilities. Human resources are selected by professional manager with the endorsement of the volunteer manager keeping a plausible hiring line and is geared to meet the demands of the Club. We conclude that the studied clubs have few innovative features in their administrations, maintains a traditional organizational structure and decision-making processes in the sports area are strongly linked to financial planning

Full textThe purpose of this study is the legal analysis of structure of sports companies. Sports companies gathering professional and non-professional sports groups, commonly called sports clubs, initially had only in mind the management of sports practising. This practice now produces multiple constraints : legal obligations in accordance with the current laws or as regards financial and administrative management. This management proves to be difficult and the clubs can only survive thanks to contributions coming from strictly commercial activities. The framework and the legal nature of the management of sports club differ whether they are professional or not. Thus, the statutes of sports companies must evolve: like any commercial company, the sporting company will have to conform to the law and in particular to the Community legislation while being subjected to the principles of free competiton and freedom of movement. However, taking into account the educational aspect of sport within the framework of a mission of general interest, it has an exceptional character, compared to the other commercial companies

Full textEsta dissertação visa estudar a performance corporativa dos clubes ingleses de futebol profissional, bem como os determinantes da performance dos clubes, com destaque para o efeito dos jogadores formados pelas Academias. O estudo evidencia existir uma associação positiva e significativa entre a performance financeira e desportiva dos clubes ingleses ao longo das épocas de 1993/94 a 2010/11. Os testes de cointegração indicam a existência uma relação estrutural de longo-prazo entre as variáveis desportivas e financeiras. Este estudo proporciona suporte à corrente da literatura que refere a maximização da performance desportiva sujeita a uma restrição de sustentabilidade financeira de longo prazo, como os principais objectivos dos clubes de futebol. Os testes de causalidade de Granger mostram que existe relações causais diferenciadas entre clubes. Os jogadores formados pelos próprios clubes tiveram um impacto negativo no desempenho desportivo e receitas, mas um efeito positivo na redução dos gastos salariais. A opção por jogadores formados por outros clubes ingleses teve uma influência negativa na performance desportiva, mas um efeito positivo na rendibilidade e despesas salariais dos clubes. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de melhorar a produtividade do sistema de desenvolvimento de jovens jogadores em Inglaterra. Finalmente, observámos que os clubes ingleses são heterogéneos sinalizando a existência de peculiaridades em cada clube que são importantes para compreender o a performance alcançada e como desenvolvem as suas vantagens competitivas sustentáveis.
This dissertation examines the corporate performance of English professional football clubs and the determinants of clubs’ performance, with particular emphasis on homegrown locally-trained players. The study shows that there is a positive and significant association between the financial and sporting performance of English clubs over the 1993/94 to 2010/11 seasons. Cointegration tests show that sporting performance and financial variables are linked by a set of long-run structural relationship. Our study lends supports to the theoretical stream that argues that the maximisation of sporting goals, subject to constraint of long- term financial sustainability, are the two main objectives of football clubs. Granger causality tests show that there are different causal relationships between clubs. Homegrown club-trained players had a negative impact on the sporting performance and revenue functions, yet they had a positive effect on reducing salary expenditure. Association-trained players option had a negative influence on the sporting performance function, but a positive effect on profitability and wage expenses for English football clubs. The results suggest that there is a need to improve the productivity of the system for developing young players in England. Finally, we observed that English clubs are heterogeneous, which signals that idiosyncrasies exist in each club, which is important for understanding both performance and how to develop sustainable competitive advantages.

Full textAs a reply to the long-term conquest of free time by lower -and middle-classes, members of the upper classes agreed upon the necessary regulation of square time. Along with those moral concerns, some fractions of the upper-class redeploying invaded leisure areas by promoting distinctive behaviours different from those the lower and middle-class had, and also from the square-time activities the traditional "leisurely" dominant classes had. The "Club Méditerranée" ideology played a seminal role in the "moral modernization" of France by the newly acquired urban middle-class psyche. From the 1960s onwards, in spite of deceivingly obvious mass-development in the leisure industry, gaps between social classes have kept on increasing. Spending time off at Club Méditerranée resorts has now come to play a specific sociological role : that of allowing dominant classes to intensify their usual leisuring habits as everyday leisure opportunities keep on getting less and less both possible and satisfactory

Full textThis thesis suggests studying a cultural and social history of the movie-club movement through the prism of the sociology of the expertise to ask the question of the existence of a "movie-club cinemaddiction" which would be appropriate to the movie-club movement . It is a question at first of defining a specific film area (popular educational associative network) over a period given (of the Liberation till the end of 1990s) to be able to identify the various actors who revolve within this space while multiplying the statuses: administrators of federations, writers of review, "theorists" of the movie club, the organizers and the members. Of this analysis emerge three notions which constitute the keystone of this work: "the movie-club ideal", the "movie-club structure" and the practices of movies-club members. The first one sends back to the fact that should be the movie-club according to the main representatives of the movement, is a way to form the amateur spectator by and for the cinema while handing over to him in a perspective of cultural and social emancipation. The second notion represents all the methods ("presentation-projection-discussion", etc.) and the documentation (index cards, manual workers for organizers, reviews, etc.) which allow to spread such an ideal while establishing constituting a film justifiable knowledge. The third notion questions the effective practices of the members and the organizers who develop within the movement. It is thus a question of confronting these three aspects to question the existence of a film culture common to the whole movement movie club

Full textCycling is a pratices sports that was organized in associations in Porto Alegre in the second half of the 19th century. The present study aims to reconstruct the memories of the practice of cycling in clubs in the city of Porto Alegre, since the second half of the 19th century until the mid-1940. For the construction of this research, the documentary sources consulted were the newspapers "A Federação" and "Correio do Povo". The sources revealed that the practice of cycling in clubs in the city of Porto Alegre, began in 1895, with the Foundation of União Velocipédica de Amadores, first Association for the development of sports. The following year, in 1896, was founded the Radfahrer Verein Blitz. These two associations feuded in cycling on the slopes, but also outside them. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the organization of the first football clubs in Porto Alegre, the practice of cycling suffered a concussion, also due to the migration of sports leaders for football clubs. After a period of weakening of cycling in clubs, in the years of 1930, the practice was resumed with a certain emphasis in the papers. A landmark event in the period was the organization of Federação Gaúcha de Ciclismo, in 1935. The Decade of 1940 shows a new period of decline for cycling, where disclosure of sports becomes scarce in the sources consulted. Currently, cycling is returning to everyday life in the city of Porto Alegre, not as a competitive sport, but as a leisure activity or as a means of transportation.

Full textDenna uppsats handlar om Bosmandomen som trädde i kraft 1995 efter beslut av Europadomstolen. Men den trädde inte i kraft i Sverige först årsskiftet 2004-2005. Bosmandomen uppkom efter spelaren Jean-Marc Bosman. Han ville byta från en belgisk (RC Liège) US Dunkerque) till en fransk klubb, men ansåg att han blev förhindrad på grund av ett för högt pris. Den nya regeln säger att ingen fotbollsklubb vare sig, kan kräva eller erhålla betalningar när någon av dess spelare vars kontrakt löpt ut.
Syftet med uppsatsen är att försöka få svar på frågan hur Bosmandomen har påverkat fotbollsklubbarnas ekonomi, incitament att ta fram egna talanger samt spelarnas löner.
Jag skickade ut enkäter till svenska klubbar som har herrlag i Allsvenskan till division 7. Svarsprocenten blev 17 procent varav 10 klubbar från division 2, 10 klubbar från division 3, en klubb från Superettan och två klubbar från division 4, en från division 6 och en från division 7.
Uppsatsen bygger på fotbollsekonomisk teori med fokus på lagsportens natur, landränta och transfer intäkter. Tidigare studier har använts för att påvisa vad som tidigare gjorts och fungerar som hjälp till min studie.
Resultatet av studien påvisade inte att man med säkerhet kan säga att det är just Bosmandomen som har gjort att mer pengar är i omlopp vid försäljning och löneförhandlingar. Sverige har följt med utvecklingen i Europa. När det gäller talangutveckling verkar det inte spela någon som helst roll vilka regler som införs då bredden är viktigare än de få udda jättetalangerna vilka kan ses som grädden på moset.
Cette étude a pour sujet l’arrêt Bosman, qui date de l’année 1995 par suite d’une décision de la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme. Il n’est entré en vigueur en Suède qu’au début de l’année 2005. L’arrêt Bosman a reçu son nom par le footballeur Jean-Marc Bosman. Il a déclaré que son club précédent (RC Liège) l’a empêché de signer un nouveau contrat avec le club français US Dunkerque. Il se croyait empêché par un prix trop élevé. Le nouveau règlement dit qu’aucun club ne peut ni demander ni recevoir des rétributions quand un joueur dont le contrat a expiré veut jouer dans un autre club.
Le but de cette étude est d’essayer de trouver une réponse comment l’arrêt Bosman a influencé l’économie des clubs, leur incitation à former les talents eux-mêmes ainsi que les salaires des footballeurs.
J’ai envoyé des enquêtes à des clubs suédois avec des équipes d’homme de « Allsvenskan » jusqu’à la division 7. Le pourcentage des réponses est de 17 pour cent. Il s’est montré qu’il y avait des réponses de dix clubs venant de division deux, dix clubs venant de division trois, un club venant de »Superettan », deux clubs venant de division quatre, un club venant de division six et un club venant de division sept.
L’étude est basée sur la théorie économique de football. Elle s’est concentrée sur la nature du sport d’équipe professionnel, la rente économique et les recettes transfert. Des études antérieures sur le football européen ont été utilisées pour démontrer ce qui s’est passé et elles forment une base pour mes études.
Le résultat de cette étude n’a pas démontré que c’est l’arrêt Bosman qui a causé la hausse des sommes en circulation en ce qui concerne la vente et les négociations de salaires. La Suède a suivi le développement en Europe. Quand il s’agit du développement des jeunes, il ne semble pas important quelles sont les règles introduites. La base du club est plus importante que les peu nombreux talents exceptionnels qu’on peut considérer plutôt comme la touche finale.

The business models of Sport Clube Beira-Mar - Futebol, SAD, Sport Lisboa e Benfica - Futebol, SAD, Sporting Clube de Braga - Futebol, SAD and three Portuguese Football Academies were analyzed in order to understand the differences between clubs with dissimilar goals and scopes and which aspects should be improved and explored. Portuguese clubs present a significant competitive advantage in developing players as well as an important members base. However, they face many challenges due to low stadium occupation rates, excessive dependence on certain revenue streams, lack of sports facilities utilization, a limited range of services, and the need to reformulate their revenue structure and increase the interaction with their fans and members by providing them enjoyable experiences beyond the football matches. Hence, a set of recommendations and suggestions was developed, which was discussed with and approved by the previously mentioned clubs, in order to face the referred issues according to nine different operating areas of football clubs management and Portuguese Football in general: Restructuring of Portuguese football, Partnerships & sponsorships/new services, New customer segments and retaining the current ones, Customer relationship management, Interaction with fans and members, Facilities utilization/stadium occupation rates, Financial aspects, Participation in society/social concerns, and Internationalization/search for new revenues in emerging markets.

Full textClubs were a key feature of eighteenth-century London life. Their growth, parallel to the advent of the coffee-house, of the press, and to urban development, mirrored an evolution of sociability. Those spaces for male conviviality, private, exclusive and somehow elitist, entered their golden age from the 1730s onwards. The pleasures of eating, conversation and gambling, enjoyed by their members, diffused new values, definite norms of savoir-vivre and good taste, designed for the English gentleman. The club was both an instrument of integration and exclusion, half way between the private and public spheres. An exclusive male world, in which refinement and excess coexisted, that institution could be considered either as an anteroom of power, promoting free and constructive debate, or as a centre of plots and subversion. As such, the club seems to embody the paradoxes of the English nation and appears, in this respect, as a form of sociability unique in itself

Full textIn 1990s and 2000s many professional soccer (PSCs) clubs have been listed IPO in stock markets. The success of IPO in soccer markets, especially in the field of sports and financial performance is uncertain. Thus, number of empirical academic researches have been advocated to examine financial performance of IPO in these clubs. Such researches found financial performance of listed clubs is declined. Most of those researches indicate there is relationship between sports performance and financial performance in those listed clubs. However, researchers have not determine the factors of this phenomenon. To bridge this gap in the past literature, thesis aims to identify the determining factors of sports and financial performance in listed PSCs and to compare them with determinants of sports and financial performance of PSCs in Middle East.This thesis provides further empirical evidence on the relationship between sports and financial performance in listed PSCs. More importantly, results of thesis provide number of determining factors that affect sports and financial performance in PSCs. An interesting results, there are some similar and dissimilar factors between European soccer clubs and Middle east soccer clubs. This seemed to be confirmed by the fact that market and tournament and regulations are different. Furthermore, impact of spectators is interesting result, in which their effect on financial performance is indirect, while direct on sports performance. Yet, fair value of club is uncertain because lack of disclosure and detail accounting information. Thus, we suggest improving corporate governance to enhance transparency and accountability. Moreover, thesis suggest that strategic management perspective is important factor to treat unsustainable financial performance of PSCs, especially in long term in order to measure fair value of club. This lead to gain more relevance considering the importance of strategic management in future academic researches. Thus, we can raise the following question is to which extent IPO is sustainable in professional soccer clubs?

Full textAim of the Thesis: To investigate the practice of using a CRM strategy in football clubs by comparing earlier successful and unsuccessful CRM implementations by football clubs and study fan relationship theories in a large Swedish football club, thereby presenting guidelines on how to further develop a CRM strategy in a Swedish football club.
Methodology: A quantitative approach and a qualitative approach have been used, first collecting empirical data on supporter views through a questionnaire further strengthened by gathering empirical data through an interview. The quantitative data has been presented with descriptive statistics and the qualitative data has been analyzed using a realist approach.
Theoretical Perspectives: A literature review has been conducted and resulted in a theoretical framework illustrating the concepts of benefits and risks with CRM, fan relationship marketing, CRM implementation process, CRM systems in football clubs, and supporter loyalty. A research model, “FRM implementation process” has been developed from the theoretical findings.
Empirical Data: The quantitative empirical data has been collected by distributing a questionnaire to supporters of AIK Fotboll. The qualitative empirical data has been collected through interviews with the head of sales and marketing within AIK Fotboll AB.
Conclusion: A CRM strategy can benefit Swedish football clubs in areas such as to better capture customer data, better communication between the club and its supporters and provide customized offers as long as the supporters are informed about the changes in strategy. In order for Swedish football clubs to successfully implement a CRM strategy they need to ensure adequate financing and management commitment since an unsuccessful implementation can be devastating to a Swedish football club’s finances.

The purpose of this study was to survey country club professionals’ importance perceptions of food defense and the frequency with which preventive practices were implemented in their clubs to prevent bioterrorism. Gaps between importance perceptions and practice frequency were compared with concern of food terrorism and practice frequency implementation. Perceived self-efficacy measures and perceived barriers were compared with motivations to develop a food defense management plan and practice frequency implementation. Importance perceptions and practice frequencies were studied to ascertain if there were differences among operational factors. Club professionals with smaller gaps implemented preventive practices more frequently. Club professionals with higher self-efficacy levels were more motivated to develop food defense management plans and implemented preventive practices more frequently. Club professionals with higher barriers were less motivated to develop food defense management plans and implemented preventive practices less frequently. The field study component investigated food security practices in private country clubs. Club manager interviews and observations of operational practices were conducted. Most club managers stated that they did not think their clubs were at risk of a bioterrorist attack. Cost and lack of need were identified as barriers towards implementing a food defense management plan. Club employees were perceived to be more likely to initiate a bioterrorism attack than non-employees. Background checks and good employment practices were perceived as effective in increasing food security in clubs. Most clubs did not monitor arrivals and over half did not secure their chemicals. Based on the results of the field study, the researcher recommended several actions that could improve food security in country clubs including installing video surveillance and developing disaster management plans that include food defense. Recommendations for future research included continued examination of club managers’ self-efficacy perceptions towards biosecurity and identifying barriers to food defense implementation in other retail foodservice segments.

Innovation is development of new ideas that leads to better solutions to current problems. From an economic standpoint, innovation is the engine of economic growth. The appearance of innovation is not uniform in the market, and neither are its affects. The development of new products and technology is significant in any industry. As a result, understanding the path of progress within an industry is necessary to maximize the benefit from innovation. The focus of this research is to further understand the relationship between producers, consumers, and the environment, in the context of innovation. Three scenarios are evaluated. First, innovation evaluated in the context technology intensive industries with product differentiation. Using an optimal control approach with product differentiation and firm outlook we examine conditions that maximize social welfare. When firm(s) have the same discount rate regardless of market structure, a monopoly will develop more innovative products. However, it is shown that competition may increase innovation if firms alter their outlook in a duopoly market structure. Next, influence of consumers on producer adoption of clean technology is evaluated. A spatial model is developed to analyze welfare implications of environmental policies in a competitive market with production and consumption heterogeneity. Consumers with heterogeneous preferences choose between non-green and certified green products, while firms with heterogeneous production costs decide whether to engage in green production. In order for green products to be recognized by consumers, firms must join a green club. The number of green firms, environmental standard, and overall welfare under the market solution are all found to be socially sub-optimal. Finally, producer innovation in markets characterized by public policy due to emission concerns is evaluated. Using a dynamic approach, we derive a firm’s optimal R&D investment strategy to develop clean technology. Explicitly allowing for the cumulative nature of R&D shows that emissions per unit of output are lowest when the firms cooperate in R&D, and show that a profit-maximizing merged entity will never choose the most efficient investment strategy in clean technology, which has implications for emission tax policy and environmental innovation to improve overall welfare.
