Assessment 2: Sport Management Blog
Week 1
Sports management is a broad term that relates to any
business activities at all levels of the sport sector. These activities occur in a multitude of
disciplines, including business, finance, human resources, sport physiology,
psychology and public relations. Sports management is a growing field in
Australia and the world as the sports become more and more professional. Sports
management is unique as it involves many different roles, some specialised and
some general, however many of these roles follow same structures and philosophies
as other business management areas
Week 2
Sport management occurs across three sectors; non-profit, government
and professional. These 3 exist independent
of one other but also rely on the success of each other. This can be seen in Australian society where
sport is held in such a high regard commercially, politically and socially. The
government invests money in non-profit and professional sport sectors, the
non-profit sector supplies the professional area with future players and managers
and the professional sector brings in money for the government through
attracting people to events within the region.
Week 3
Sport organisations use a variety of business structures to
operate effectively, depending on a variety of factors. Sport organisations are
unique to other business organisations in that there are often many conflicting
objectives within the organisation. A common clash is the quest for off-field
success and the objective to maintain a viable off field structure.
Week 4
What makes sport management unique is the strategic
decisions that are made to support the various facets of sport organisations. The
organisational structure and the strategic decisions that a sporting
club/business adopts is key to success as we have seen at clubs around the
world, one prime example is Glasgow rangers that were forced nearly into
liquidation because of poor structure, decision making and irresponsible
leadership.
Week 5
Each sports organisation differs in goals and operations, as
such they each have different people working within. Human resources is the
management of people with the correct
skills into positions that are suited to
their qualities.
