Abstract:

<p>In Internet of things enabled healthcare system, sensors create vast volumes of data that are analyzed in the cloud. Transferring data from the cloud to the application takes a long time. An effective infrastructure can reduce latency and costs by processing data in real-time and close to the user devices. Fog computing can solve this issue by reducing latency by storing, processing, and analyzing patient data at the network edge. Placing the resources at fog layer and scheduling tasks is quite challenging in Fog computing. This paper proposes a Fog Managed Data Model (FMDM) with three layers namely Sensor, Fog and cloud to solve the aforementioned issue. Sensors generate patient data and that are managed and processed by Fog and cloud layers. Tasks are scheduled using a Weighted Fog Priority Job Scheduling algorithm (WFPJS) and fog nodes are allocated based on Priority based Virtual Machine Classification Algorithm (PVCA). The performance of this model is validated with static scheduling techniques with variable patient counts and network configurations. The proposed FMDM with WFPJS reduces response time, total execution cost, network usage, network latency, computational latency and energy consumption.</p> <p> </p>

Abstract:

One of the major difficulties of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications is how to efficiently manage the large amount of data produced by sensors. The differences from standard database source pose challenges of sensor data management. In this paper, we propose a novel sensor data management architecture based on our extensive discussion on existing works. The hierarchical system model consists of sensor network layer and proxy network layer. Sensor network layer performs limited computation and communication while being managed intelligently by the proxy network. The proxy network receives sensor data, manages sensor data and processes queries in a distributed manner. We also provide insight into possible research directions in this area.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the managerial decision-making challenges of the use of data from online and offline customer data flooding into firms and managed through interactive dashboards. The paper provides insights into how managers within the hotel sector both manage and use the data as a core tool in discussions with finance managers/directors during negotiation on critical marketing investments. Design/methodology/approach The research design followed a multiple-case study design of five market-orientated hotels, which were selected as high performing data and dashboard users. Across each case company multiple informants were interviewed and shadowed, including marketing managers, general managers and finance managers/directors. There was also an in-depth investigation of the collection, dissemination and particularly use of traditional market research data and online data from social media sites, web sites and web and mobile analytics. This was augmented by a study of the customized, off site managed interactive databases, in use in all case companies. Findings This paper identifies managerial challenges experienced by general managers, marketing and financial managers using digital customer data. It investigated the power of the customer voice internally and found that unstructured qualitative data had greater visibility and usage once supported by a financial imperative. It also found that the use of interactive dashboards were a powerful manifestation of data technology use and increased marketing’s visibility, power and accountability within the firm. Research limitations/implications The paper provided a limited hotel perspective which impacts on generalizability. The findings should be tested quantitatively to ascertain their validity across a wider sector of businesses and operations. Though multiple site and cross-functional research adds value, one site might have provided more depth. Practical implications This paper reveals that managers need support in terms of time, resources and personnel to manage the flood of information into their organizations. It also suggested that general and marketing managers need to develop the skills to interpret the data for decision-making, so that the financial implications are understand. Originality/value Most social media studies within the hotel sector focus on the impact of social media reviews on consumer purchasing processes and/or on how managers communicate online with consumers. This paper takes an internal managerial perspective on data use for decision-making. This paper expands our understanding of marketing strategic decision-making through an in-depth exploration into how cross-functional decision-making uses contemporary customer data.

Abstract:

Smart Parking is essential for any future smart cities due to the tremendous growth of the car fleet. Such infrastructures require a certain amount of equipment. Indeed, smart parking integrates a lot of actors, to manage the parking its equipment must be managed accordingly. Here, is proposed a distributed architecture to manage them by collecting efficiently their data. Two types of data relating to the parking must be collected: those coming from the deployed equipment in the parking and those coming from the internet due to remote users. Thus, a system of two main servers based on the multi-agent concept is proposed. This system manages the parking platform. The first server is dedicated to the parking equipment data collection (Processing Server–PS). The second server (Processing Web Server–PWS) collects the users’ online data such as reservation, and it is responsible for pricing policies, and receive post-processed data from the Processing Server. The parking equipment integrates a lot of commercial solutions, an intelligent multi-platform application based on this two server philosophy is developed and can be used for parking operation by users and parking managers. The flowcharts of the agents from the two mains servers are presented. These flowcharts are currently used in our demonstrator and still under improvements. Here, we present the architecture (hardware and software) of our smart parking demonstrator developed by our department and suitable for the experimentation of our future work related to this hot topic.

Abstract:

To the Editor.— The publication of an article in the February 1992 issue of Pediatrics by Cartland and Yudkowski1 gravely concerns me, because it seems to reflect a conclusion unsubstantiated by factual information. I am referring specifically to the implication that the managed care system limits necessary access to pediatrics subspecialty and inpatient care. The authors present data that support a limitation of access within a managed care system, but their anecdotal stories fail to convince me that all these referrals were "necessary."

Abstract:

• Objective To improve clinical and financial outcomes for neuroscience patients by using an “outcomes-managed” model of care delivery and 2 acute care nurse practitioners as outcomes managers. • Methods Baseline data from the year before implementation of the care model were compared with data from the first 6 months of implementation. A random list of 122 adult patients admitted to the neuroscience intensive care unit or the acute care neurosurgery unit of a university teaching hospital between January and December 1998 was generated to provide the baseline data. The prospective sample included 402 patients admitted to either unit during the first 6 months of the project (January through June 1999). The acute care nurse practitioners used an evidence-based multidisciplinary plan of care to manage all patients. • ResultsNo differences were found in age, sex, or ethnicity between groups. Patients managed by acute care nurse practitioners had significantly shorter overall length of stay (P = .03), shorter mean length of stay in the intensive care unit (P<.001), lower rates of urinary tract infection and skin breakdown (P<.05), and shorter time to discontinuation of the Foley catheter and mobilization (P < .05). The outcomes-managed group was hospitalized 2306 fewer days than the baseline group, at a total cost savings of $2 467 328. • Conclusions Clinical and financial outcomes are improved significantly by identifying patients at risk, monitoring for complications, and having acute care nurse practitioners manage the patients.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of the websites managed by individuals, companies and governments. The test results would be useful for managers to pay more attention to the quality of the website optimally through several perspectives: accessibility, experience, marketing and technology. The research used samples from 350 websites and the data were divided into seven categories, namely: website managed by SMEs (small and medium), website of universities, website of governments, e-commerce, news websites, website of industrial companies, and website of non-profit organization. We used Nibler as the testing tool to facilitate the assessment process. Data were analyzed using WEKA presented in the form of a decision tree. The results showed that the tested websites had an average value of 4.66 or worse (scale 1-10). The conclusion is that the manager of the website should perform repairs on the data and applications, in particular in the perspective of technology, accessibility and experience.

Abstract:

Abstract Using U.S. equity mutual fund data, we show that portfolio pumping—an illegal trading activity that artificially inflates year- and quarter-end portfolio returns—is more pronounced among single-managed funds compared with team-managed ones. The return inflation by team-managed funds is 45% lower than by single-managed funds at year-ends. Also, portfolio pumping decreases as team size increases. These results are driven by peer effects among teams and, sometimes, amplified by less convex flow-performance relation in team-managed funds. Our findings are robust to differences in fund governance, manager career concerns, local networks, fund family policies, and changes in the SEC’s enforcement policies.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: To assess and refine competencies for the clinical research data management profession. Materials and Methods: Based on prior work developing and maintaining a practice standard and professional certification exam, a survey was administered to a captive group of clinical research data managers to assess professional competencies, types of data managed, types of studies supported, and necessary foundational knowledge. Results: Respondents confirmed a set of 91 professional competencies. As expected, differences were seen in job tasks between early- to mid-career and mid- to late-career practitioners. Respondents indicated growing variability in types of studies for which they managed data and types of data managed. Discussion: Respondents adapted favorably to the separate articulation of professional competencies vs foundational knowledge. The increases in the types of data managed and variety of research settings in which data are managed indicate a need for formal education in principles and methods that can be applied to different research contexts (ie, formal degree programs supporting the profession), and stronger links with the informatics scientific discipline, clinical research informatics in particular. Conclusion: The results document the scope of the profession and will serve as a foundation for the next revision of the Certified Clinical Data ManagerTM exam. A clear articulation of professional competencies and necessary foundational knowledge could inform the content of graduate degree programs or tracks in areas such as clinical research informatics that will develop the current and future clinical research data management workforce.

Abstract:

Objective: A United Kingdom Department of Health directive (EL[94]72) asked Health Authorities to manage the entry of new drugs into practice. There seem to be costs associated with the decision-making process of managed entry, but no clear evidence of benefit to patient populations. The objective of this study was to assess the potential costs and outcomes of different models of managed entry, using the example of donepezil in the North West Health Region of the U.K. National Health Service. This is a preliminary study designed to identify the key pieces of information required to evaluate the value of managed entry.Methods: Decision analytic models of three Health Authorities' approaches to manage the entry of donepezil were used to estimate the expected costs and effectiveness of the process. Resource use data were obtained from published sources and the relevant Health Authority. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis was used to determine the robustness of the results.Results: The process of managed entry of donepezil was associated with higher expected costs and higher expected outcome than no managed entry. The 95% confidence intervals for the net expected costs and net expected outcomes were relatively narrow and did not cross zero, which suggests a statistical difference between managed entry and no managed entry for donepezil. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios for managed entry of donepezil indicate that, compared with no managed entry, there were substantial differences between the different models used in the three study sites. The expected cost per unit of cognitive function gained was between £18,000 in study site 001 to £28,000 in study site 010. The expected cost per person with a clinically significant improvement was between £140,000 and £230,000. The expected cost per QALY ranged from £470,000 to £19.3 million.Conclusions: Managed entry does not appear to be a worthwhile mechanism to introduce drugs into practice. However, poor accessibility and availability of data means that the results are highly uncertain. The lack of data presents serious obstacles for both researchers and policy makers wishing to develop evidence-based policy and practice.

Abstract:

Equipment logistics, maintenance, and repair are important aspects of construction equipment management. A well-managed equipment fleet helps reduce downtime, as well as total maintenance and repair costs. With quickly growing fleets of equipment, large contractors tend to divert the maintenance and repair of equipment from equipment managers to project managers. As a result, the equipment managers shift their attention from operational-level decision-making to corporate-level strategic decision-making regarding equipment management, which is often a challenging job with the current equipment management system. This paper presents an equipment data warehouse and a prototype decision support system (DSS). The proposed equipment data warehouse enables equipment managers to visually analyze the equipment fleet data from different perspectives and at various level of details. The data-warehouse-based DSS facilitates high-level, fact-based decision-making regarding equipment logistics, supplies, maintenance, repair, and replacement and has higher levels of performance and flexibility than the current equipment management system.Key words: data warehouse, decision support system, equipment management, multidimensional modeling.

Abstract:

IntroductionManaged access arrangements (MAAs) represent a way of enabling patient access to promising treatments while collecting real world data to inform future health technology evaluations (HTE) and commissioning decisions. In July 2016, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended Ataluren for treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy within a MAA. NICE is uniquely placed to oversee the implementation and monitoring of this MAA in collaboration with multiple stakeholders to ensure the final outputs meet the needs of a future HTE.MethodsNICE assembled an Ataluren Managed Access Oversight Committee (MAOC) consisting of representatives from the manufacturer, patient organisations, commissioning body and treatment centres. This group were to meet every six months under the chairmanship of NICE with the primary function of reviewing the progress of data collection and identifying operational challenges in implementing the terms of the arrangement.ResultsThe Ataluren MAOC has convened four times since the MAA commenced and these discussions identified a number of important actions. Data completeness was a concern and prompted stakeholders to collaborate on implementing measures to circumvent this, to ensure data quality for future HTE. Lack of awareness and understanding of the MAA in the patient community was highlighted and resulted in the production of lay information. A review of the statistical analysis plan resulted in the need for an agreement amendment. To ensure an audit trail and appropriate critique, NICE produced an amendment process to define and justify amendments made during the agreement term.ConclusionsMAOC meetings play an important role in monitoring the progress of MAAs and have ensured that implementation issues are identified promptly and resolved with input from key stakeholders. This process allows NICE to coordinate the work of stakeholders to facilitate the success of the MAA, and will be adopted in future NICE MAAs in ultra-rare diseases.

Full text

Abstract:

We used novel remote sensing techniques to compare the landscape-scale patterns of forest structure in Pennsylvania, USA under the management of four different agencies with varying primary objectives, including production forestry, wildlife habitat, recreation, and private ownership. We (i) developed a forest structure classification scheme using publicly available LiDAR and orthographic aerial imagery data, (ii) mapped the forest structure across twenty forested landscapes, and (iii) compared the landscape-scale forest structure patterns among the four forest management types. Our results indicate that different management philosophies and their associated forest management approaches have resulted in contrasting landscape-scale patterns of forest structure. Privately managed forests had shorter forests, higher densities of distinct patches, higher interspersion of patch types, and higher forest structure diversity at fine-scales (1.5 ha grain size) compared to forests lightly managed for recreation. Production forests under ecosystem management and forests managed for wildlife habitat exhibited intermediate patterns of forest structure. This variation in forest structure patterns among the forest managers is likely to have implications for wildlife habitat and other ecosystem services. Furthermore, greater emphasis is needed on encouraging private landowners to manage across property boundaries and providing the resources and tools to manage forests at the landscape scale.

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with studying the antecedents to and the assimilation of sensor information systems (SIS) in Data Centers. Using the Technology Organization and Environment Framework as a guide and drawing from the Natural resource based view and Diffusion of Innovation theories and five case studies, the paper builds a theoretical framework to investigate the factors that explain the assimilation (diversity and intensity) of SIS. The framework is tested based on data collected from a survey of 107 Data Centers. The findings show that the compatibility of SIS, knowledge of Data Centre managers, green data centre orientation and pressure from peers in the industry affect the assimilation of SIS to manage the facility, power and cooling and computing functions of Data Centers. Further the type of Data Centre, whether it is corporate or co-located or managed has a significant influence on both the level of the SIS assimilation as well as the antecedent factors that influence assimilation.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose and test a model of the underlying mechanisms linking perceived availability of human resource (HR) practices relevant to older nurses and older nurses’ intentions to stay with their hospitals. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative data were collected from randomly selected older registered nurses (N=660) engaged in direct patient care in hospitals in Canada. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypothesized model. Findings – The relationship between perceptions of HR practices (performance evaluation, recognition/respect) and intentions to stay was mediated by the perceived fairness with which nurse managers managed these HR practices and nurse manager satisfaction. When nurse managers were perceived to administer the HR practices fairly (high perceived procedural justice), older nurses were more satisfied with their nurse manager and, in turn, more likely to intend to stay. Research limitations/implications – The cross-sectional research design does not allow determination of causality. Practical implications – It is important that nurse managers receive training to increase their awareness of the needs of older nurses and that nurse managers be educated on how to manage HR practices relevant to older nurses in a fair manner. Equally important is that hospital administrators and HR managers recognize the importance of providing such HR practices and supporting nurse managers in managing these practices. Originality/value – The findings increase the understanding of how HR practices tailored to older nurses are related to the intentions of these nurses to remain with their hospital, and especially the crucial role that first-line nurse managers play in this process.

Abstract:

Objectives: This study assesses the use of routinely collected claims data for managed entry agreements (MEA) in the illustrative context of German statutory health insurance (SHI) funds.Methods: Based on a nonsystematic literature review, the data needs of different MEA were identified. A value-based typology to classify MEA on the basis of these data needs was developed. The typology is oriented toward health outcomes and utilization and costs, key components of a new technology's value. For each MEA type, the suitability of claims data in establishing evidence of the novel technology's value in routine care was systematically assessed. Assessment criteria were data availability, completeness, timeliness, confidentiality, reliability, and validity.Results: Claims data are better suited to MEA addressing uncertainty regarding the utilization and costs of a novel technology in routine care. In schemes where safety aspects or clinical effectiveness are assessed, the role of claims data is limited because clinical information is not included in sufficient detail.Conclusions: The suitability of claims data depends on the source of uncertainty and, in consequence, the outcome measures chosen in the agreements. In all schemes, the validity of claims data should be judged with caution as data are collected for billing purposes. This framework may support manufacturers and payers in selecting the most suitable contract type and agreeing on contract conditions. More research is necessary to validate these results and to address remaining medical, economic, legal, and ethical questions of using claims data for MEA.

Abstract:

Abstract Managed care organizations are shifting from traditional utilization management programs to focus on initiatives that improve the health of an insured population. This strategy requires sophisticated data integration to identify at-risk individuals and track outcomes. Laboratory data are becoming increasingly valuable tools for managed care organizations and healthcare providers. The HEDIS® Effectiveness of Care measures have incorporated laboratory data into several key performance indicators. By building a comprehensive repository of laboratory data that includes both procedure codes and laboratory values, managed care organizations can realize substantial savings by avoiding the costly medical record reviews required when administrative data are incomplete. In addition to tracking clinical outcomes, laboratory data provide the ability to risk-stratify a population to target high-risk individuals for case management and disease management interventions. Healthcare organizations face several challenges in the integration of laboratory data into medical databases and practice management software. Confidentiality is a key consideration in view of recent healthcare regulations. Providers of laboratory services should work collaboratively with organizations setting standards for healthcare informatics to facilitate the pooling of data for quality improvement and outcomes research. Health Level Seven, Inc. (HL7), Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes (LOINC®), and Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) will likely play a key role in this process.

Abstract:

Purpose A seemingly certain commonality in the extant literature is that firms that engage in the practice of managing earnings do so to massage their performance. The purpose of this paper is to examine the pecuniary effect of the prior cost of capital and a firm’s location on the propensity for firms to manage earnings. Design/methodology/approach This study uses longitudinal data for US firms from COMPUSTAT and Center for Research in Security Prices from 1980 to 2010 for an average of 1,627 firms. The authors apply several regression methods – namely: least squares regressions, quantile, interaction-terms, seemingly unrelated and endogeneity test – and come to similar conclusions. Findings The authors find that managed earnings behavior varies depending on the prior cost of capital. Managers positively exacerbate earnings when the firms’ prior cost of debt is high. Managers inverse its exacerbation of earnings when the firms’ prior cost of equity is high. This effect remains the same in all regression techniques applied in this paper. Originality/value The authors contribute to the literature primarily in three areas. First, by considering the effect of a firm’s location jointly on a firm’s prior cost of capital, the authors show that a firm’s environment amplifies the managers’ discretionary actions. Second, by showing that the prior cost of capital which a firm pursues can inundate the managers to pursue and exacerbate earnings. Finally, the evidence suggests that adjustment in previous years for debt obligated firms and that location affects managed earnings behavior.

Abstract:

As health care costs climb, governments continue to seek ways of controlling expenditures and improving accountability. One approach recently used by the government of Ontario to reform the delivery of homecare services focused on the introduction of competitive market forces in conjunction with the establishment of greater managerial controls over the activities of frontline health professionals. The purpose of this article is to assess how this “managed competition” model impacted the role of homecare case managers and their relationships with frontline health professionals. Data for this case study were obtained primarily through 36 in-depth key informant interviews with representatives from homecare provider agencies and the community care access centers (CCACs), which contract with the provider agencies for client services. The managed competition reform dramatically altered the role of homecare case managers by requiring them to take on greater responsibility for monitoring budgets and rationing services. This shift from a collaborative to a competitive system promoted conflict between case managers and other health care professionals. In the presence of an increasingly bureaucratized case manager role, interprofessional conflict and a focus on cost containment seems to have left clients without any clear advocate of their interests.

Abstract:

Nowadays, we are witnessing a shift in the way emergencies are being managed. On the one hand, the availability of big data and the evolution of geographical information systems make it possible to manage and process large quantities of information that can hugely improve the decision-making process. On the other hand, digital humanitarianism has shown to be very beneficial for providing support during emergencies. Despite this, the full potential of combining automatic big data processing and digital humanitarianism approaches has not been fully realized, though there is an initial body of research. This paper aims to provide a reference architecture for emergency management that instantiates the NIST Big Data Reference Architecture to provide a common language and enable the comparison of solutions for solving similar problems.

Abstract:

To examine the present state of data disclosure by public institutions under the Public Data Act, I first analyzed the humanities data compiled by public institutions and explored problems in requesting open to them. In Korea, humanities data are mostly stored and managed with government support. In 2013, the Public Data Act was enacted, mandating that public institutions provide public open to the public data they hold and manage. However, public data in the humanities sector frequently have yet to be disclosed. Although secondary workpieces of public data are provided as a web service, such as the Annals of the Digital Joseon Dynasty, it is necessary to obtain RAWDATA corresponding to the primary feed for digital humanities research, a new form of study of the humanities in the digital environment. However, most humanities institutions that store humanities data do not disclose public data under the Public Data Act, citing reasons such as personal information protection, data updates, and copyright protection despite public data disclosure requests. Therefore, it is necessary to change public institutions’ attitudes toward the disclosure of machine-only RAWDATA such as CSV, XML, and RDF guaranteed by the Public Data Act for the study of the humanities in the digital era.

Abstract:

In today's dynamic, changing business environment, an organization’s sustainable competitive advantages stem from its human resources. This study examined the relationships among management's emphasis on the importance of human resources, employee satisfaction of training, and innovative performance. The present study further investigated the effect of its (owner-/manager-managed) structure on the relationship between management's emphasis on the importance of human resources and employee satisfaction of training. To the end, this study analyzed three time-lagged data, consisting of 387 team leaders and 1,120 employees in a total of 161 companies from the Human Capital Corporate Panel(HCCP). The results showed that the management's emphasis on the importance of human resources is significantly related to employee satisfaction of education and training and innovation in turn, and the first relationship is stronger for the owner-managed firm than for the manager-managed.

Abstract:

PROLOG is a programming language widely used in the generation of expert and intelligent systems, generally limited to data that is entered directly by a user in the form of software, having little or no interaction with data that is captured directly from a physical environment. This paper presents an implementation of an interface that detects the wavelengths of the visible spectrum, that is, identifies colors, colors that are stored in a knowledge base and then managed by PROLOG. This interface consists of two parts, software and hardware. The hardware is designed by means of the Arduino UNO development board, where a TCS3200 sensor is used. For the development of the software, two tools have been used, on the one hand, the standard programming of the Arduino IDE terminal has been used to manage the inputs and outputs of the Arduino board, and on the other hand, a data management system has been generated, in which PROLOG manages all the data obtained from hardware. This scheme seeks to generate color classifications in a dynamic and intelligent way in the future. The proposed system has the advantage that it is highly economical, easy to perform, uses the logical paradigm of programming, and opens the way to the design of intelligent systems managed by PROLOG from a monitoring of physical variables.

Abstract:

Abstract The majority of fish stocks worldwide are not managed quantitatively as they lack sufficient data, particularly a direct index of abundance, on which to base an assessment. Often these stocks are relatively “low value”, which renders dedicated scientific management too costly, and a generic solution is therefore desirable. A management procedure (MP) approach is suggested where simple harvest control rules are simulation tested to check robustness to uncertainties. The aim of this analysis is to test some very simple “off-the-shelf” MPs that could be applied to groups of data-poor stocks which share similar key characteristics in terms of status and demographic parameters. For this initial investigation, a selection of empirical MPs is simulation tested over a wide range of operating models (OMs) representing resources of medium productivity classified as severely depleted, to ascertain how well these different MPs perform. While the data-moderate MPs (based on an index of abundance) perform somewhat better than the data-limited ones (which lack such input) as would be expected, the latter nevertheless perform surprisingly well across wide ranges of uncertainty. These simple MPs could well provide the basis to develop candidate MPs to manage data-limited stocks, ensuring if not optimal, at least relatively stable sustainable future catches.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to ascertain whether sport organizations which outsource ticket sales force management outperform sports organizations which manage their ticket sales force internally, relative to ticket revenue and attendance.Design/methodology/approachThirteen years of ticket revenue and football attendance data were collected for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Football bowl subdivision (FBS) Division I Athletics Departments (n = 126), as well as data on whether the organization employed an external (outsourced), internal or no ticket sales force. The number of salespeople employed was also captured. Within-subjects, fixed effects regression models, which included several control variables such as number of home contests, prior season attendance, team success and population, were run to assess the relationship between sales force type and both ticket revenue and attendance, for one year, two years and three years after sales force establishment.FindingsAll models were significant. While both internally managed ticket sales forces and those managed by outsourced firms saw significant increases in ticket revenue (compared to not employing a sales force), internally managed departments outperformed third parties. In addition, departments utilizing outsourcing companies reported lower attendance for the first two years after outsourcing, but attendance differences were negligible by the third year of outsourcing.Practical implicationsThe results of the study provide data to help sport managers determine whether outsourcing sales functions within an organization will lead to greater ticket revenue and/or attendance.Originality/valueWhile several sport management studies have examined the decision-making process of outsourcing organizational functions, no prior studies have examined the financial implications of doing so.
