Relationship Management Communications by NHL Teams on TwitterBaker, Kelsey M. 29 May 2019 (has links)
The sports industry is massive, bolstered by its relationship with media. A recent development in the sport industry is the advent of social media, which offers the potential for two-way communication between sports organizations and their relevant stakeholders. Relationship management theory helps cultivate an understanding of social media as a vehicle for value creation for an organization and its stakeholders. This thesis is a content analysis of relationship communications strategies on Twitter using the accounts of five National Hockey League teams.
This study builds upon existing literature by identifying stakeholder groups targeted on Twitter by NHL teams, defining subcategories in relationship management communications, and comparing the strategies and tactics used among five NHL teams. Results indicate that players are the most common internal stakeholder identified within this study, while sponsors are the most popular external stakeholder. Interactivity is not a major driver of social media content, but when teams do contribute to some form of interaction, they are most likely to place a mention of a stakeholder or stakeholder group within a tweet. Among relationship management communications strategies, NHL Twitter accounts most often provide announcements directly related to team performance. Engagement metrics show that team promotions receive the greatest number of replies and retweets. Four out of five NHL teams in this study are very similar with their use of relationship management communications strategies and identification of relevant stakeholders. In this sample, the San Jose Sharks account differs the most from the other teams in this study, emphasizing fan interaction and brand personification the most compared to the other teams in this study. Overall, this thesis contributes to knowledge about social media in the sports industry by providing an in-depth look at the stakeholders and communications strategies identified among NHL teams on Twitter.

The internationalization of sports clubs - A qualitative study of internationalization in the sports industryDettmer, Kiara January 2020 (has links)
Globalization has opened up new markets. Companies have now endless opportunities to expand their business reachwith sportsclubs being no exception. Internationalization in sports has its beginnings with foreign players joining a team and changed in 1995 with the Bosman ruling. After the Bosman ruling, the transfer of international players became easier. Not only can one notice the internationalization of sports teams by the transfer of players but also by the expansion of the sports itself. The NFL plays home games in London, the NBA in Mexico City and FC Bayern Munich has opened subsidiaries in the US and China. Yet, this all seems like the whole sports industry is expanding. However, the influences behind this drive are unclear. The purpose of this thesis is to gain an understanding of internationalization in the sports industry. As the current literature indicates several gaps regarding the internationalization of sports clubs such as the limited view on one sport at the time or the data usage of clubs in their internationalization process, this thesis focuses on offering a broaderpicture. Therefore, the research question formulated for this thesis is:What influences the internationalization in the sports industry?For answering the research questions and fulfill the purpose of this thesis, an inductive approach was selected with a qualitative exploratory research study. By mixing the pur-posive and self-selected sampling, six semi-structured interviews were conductedamong different sports clubs. The findings indicate that there are several different influences in the internationalization process of sports clubs. Leagues and their ambitions are one direct influence. Here, the leagues statutes seem to be guidelines forthe clubs and their perspec-tives on growing. Another influence are the market conditions, where one can distinguish between the home market and foreign market conditions. There are some markets that do not allow much for further grow, as another sport is dominating the industry. For that reason, expanding internationally becomes necessary. Yet, some clubs see more potential on the home market to expand their scope and are thus, not thinking of internationalizing soon. Also influencing the internationalization are partnerships. Partnerships, either new or existing ones, offer the benefit of having knowledge or a business network the club can potentially benefit from. This study contributes to the literature of sports teams’ internationalization by adding the underlying concept of influences in the process. Understanding the influences will not only support the eventual internationalization but also offers the opportunity to unite or-ganizations in their efforts.

[en] CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN MANAGING LIFESTYLE BRANDS ACQUIRED BY LARGE COMPANIES / [pt] DESAFIOS E OPORTUNIDADES NA GESTÃO DE LIFESTYLE BRANDS ADQUIRIDAS POR GRANDES EMPRESAS18 April 2022 (has links)
[pt] Nas últimas décadas, o ambiente de negócios vem passando por diversas
transformações, influenciado pelas consequências da globalização, evolução dos meios
digitais, impactos sobre o meio ambiente, entre outros aspectos. Esse cenário impõe
desafios significativos para as companhias, como, por exemplo, a ascensão das
chamadas Lifestyle Brands (LSB), marcas que constroem conexões profundas com
seus usuários por meio de propósitos, valores e princípios, muitas vezes ligados a
questões ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance). Como estratégia de
crescimento e de defesa, diversas companhias de grande porte vêm adquirindo Lifestyle
Brands em diferentes segmentos de produtos e serviços, o que gera desafios e
oportunidades, do ponto de vista de gestão de marketing, para as empresas, assim como
para as novas marcas. O presente estudo buscou identificar e explorar essas questões,
bem como apontar contribuições gerenciais para as empresas e as marcas, a partir de
entrevistas em profundidade com um painel de especialistas formado por profissionais
de marketing que atuaram na gestão de Lifestyle Brands durante o período de transição
das marcas para a nova companhia. Por meio das entrevistas, foi possível pontuar e
analisar os principais desafios enfrentados, que passam, principalmente, pelos
potenciais impactos na autenticidade da marca; pelos riscos associados às priorizações
internas feitas pela nova empresa; pelas tensões geradas entre decisões de curto e longo
prazo; e pelos possíveis diferentes modelos de negócio entre a marca e a companhia.
Quanto às oportunidades, destacaram-se os potenciais aprendizados e influências das
Lifestyle Brands sobre as demais marcas da companhia; e as sinergias e expansões que
a nova empresa pode proporcionar para a Lifestyle Brand adquirida. / [en] In the last decades, the business environment has been undergoing several
transformations, influenced by the consequences of globalization, the evolution of
digital media, the impacts on the environment, among other aspects. This scenario
imposes significant challenges for the companies, such as the rise of the so-called
Lifestyle Brands, brands that build deep connections with their users through purposes,
values and principles, often linked to ESG factors (Environmental, Social and
Governance). As a growth and defense strategy, several large companies have been
acquiring Lifestyle Brands in different segments of products and services, which
creates challenges and opportunities, from a marketing management point of view, for
companies, as well as for the new brands. The present study sought to identify and
explore these issues, as well as pointing out managerial contributions to companies and
brands, based on in-depth interviews with a panel of experts formed by marketing
professionals who worked in the management of Lifestyle Brands during the transition
period of the brands to the new company. Through the interviews, it was possible to
point out and analyze the main challenges faced, which include, mainly, the potential
impacts on the authenticity of the brand; the risks associated with the internal
prioritizations made by the new company; the tensions generated between short-term
and long-term decisions; and the possible different business models between the brand
and the company. Regarding the opportunities, the highlights were the potential
learning and influences of Lifestyle Brands on other company brands; and the synergies
and expansions that the new company can provide for the acquired Lifestyle Brand.

Developing a Corporate Brand in a Transitional EconomyBici, Alma January 2018 (has links)
This DBA thesis explores the development of a corporate brand in a
transitional economy, a previously under-explored context. The work employs
a qualitative exploratory case-study research strategy involving a leader in the
FMCG industry in Albania. This helps to set a positive example for the rest of
the industry in the context of a transitional economy. Agna Group, the case
study in focus, is a FMCG company operating in a domestic market, thus
contributing to further insights in the area of corporate brand development and
management from a business context which has been under-explored to date,
as main focus of corporate branding has been on MNCs. A conceptual
framework of corporate brand building and management is initially introduced,
and its relevance in the transitional economy of Albania is further explored.
The research benefits from the privileged access of the researcher in the case
study organization, and the triangulation of a variety of data collected through
in-depth interviews, documentation, and observations.
The research advances our knowledge and practice of corporate brand
building and management by adding to empirical work in the area. It indicates
the constructs and practicalities involved in corporate brand development and
management in a transitional economy context. This is an important
contribution as the literature to date has predominantly focused on developed
countries, i.e North America and Western Europe. The research showcases
the six main constructs involved in corporate brand development and
management and the three main drivers behind them. Research indicates that
corporate brand building and management is strongly impacted by culture, as
well as market context influence.

Valuing and managing brands: An internal accounting perspective. An empirical investigation of attitudes to internal brand valuation and organisational and behavioural implications associated with the way that the internal brand management accounting system is operated.Guilding, Christopher J. January 1991 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with accounting for the brand
management function. Two distinct perspectives are taken: the
first derives from aspects of organisational and behavioural
accounting research, and the second concerns organisational
implications of brand valuation.
Both perspectives were initially approached by means of
exploratory interviews and a literature review. Hypotheses
pertaining to the first perspective were analysed via survey
data collected in nine strongly-branded, fast-moving consumer
goods (FMCG) companies.
Propositions concerned with the implications of brand valuation
were developed and used as the basis for measuring attitudes to
brand valuation. A questionnaire concerned with brand valuation
attitudes was administered to senior-ranking officials in
strongly-branded, FMCG companies.
The final methodological phase, for both perspectives, involved
a case study conducted in a strongly-branded, FMCG company.
Significant findings arising from this study include:
1) Managers who see their company as being short-termist,
hold more positive attitudes to brand valuation.
2) Marketing-orientated managers are more favourably
disposed to brand valuation than accounting-orientated managers.
3) Organisational benefits arising from brand valuation are
more strategically, than operationally, orientated.
4) Brand manager budget participation is significantly
negatively-related to job-related tension, and positivelyrelated
to trust in superior and attitude to reliance on
accounting performance measures.
5) Budget participation is more effective in reducing jobrelated
tension in situations of high, compared to low, task
uncertainty situations.
6) Reliance on a brand manager's accounting performance is
positively related to brand manager performance and motivation,
and negatively associated with job-related tension.
