Week 6
Week 6 looked at sport governance. Sport governance as the structures and processes used by an
organization to develop its strategic goals and direction, monitor its performance
against these goals. Good governance is essential for an organisations success.
A local cricket club in Perth nearly had to disband due too poor administrators
with lack of goals towards delivering success and little to none monitoring
processes.
Week 7
Week 7 was
all about the money. And there is a lot of it in professional sport these days.
Sport managers have to deal with pressures placed on sporting organisations,
players etc. due to the massive amount of money in professional sport. Financial
planning is crucial to success in all sectors of sport. As discussed a balance
sheet is a basic tool used by sport accountants. At my local cricket club our
accountant is the most important person as he runs the book.
Week 8
Sport and marketing
for week 8 .As sports have become professional in the last 30 years, players,
stadiums and events have become billboards. 
Photo of Australian
open court, not the best pic but even still can make out about 10 sponsors with
their logos everywhere. This event goes global and companies like KIA would be
feeling they are getting their monies worth.

Week 9
Sporting culture
came under the microscope in week 9. Culture or organisational culture is a set
of beliefs/values/attitudes that are agreed on by its members and set the behaviours
of members within it. Culture can be hard to pinpoint and very hard to change depending
on the history. One club in Australia
famous for its “bloods” culture is the Sydney Swans. The link below looks at this
culture based around team play and respect amongst each other, and how
effective this will be on a new recruit.
Ultimately culture of a club is bigger than any individual or collective
individuals and will live on if the members are willing.

Week 10
Week 10 delved
into the sport performance model and how each organisation that adopts a model
is based on the set of goals laid down by stakeholders within the club.
Stakeholders range from sponsors to players to club administrators. Balancing
the needs and passions of stakeholders is a challenging test for modern sport
managers in professional sport. Sport is
unique in that its stakeholders are passionate about success and that can cloud
financial decisions. Look at Chelsea FC in England. The president (Roman
Abramovich) is so passionate about success
and style of play that he fires coaches in frequent succession, often having to
cut contracts short and pay out millions just so he can be satisfied
