Cette thèse porte sur l’influence du parrainage dans le sport et de la consommation d’alcool dans les films sur les attitudes implicites vis-à-vis de l’alcool. Peu de recherches portent sur les mécanismes psychologiques permettant d’expliquer l’influence de l’exposition à de la publicité pour de l’alcool sur les comportements de consommation à long terme. L’hypothèse générale soutenue dans cette thèse est qu’un processus de conditionnement évaluatif par fausse attribution affective médiatise l’effet de l’exposition à des stimuli en lien avec l’alcool sur les attitudes implicites vis-à-vis de l’alcool. L’effet de deux autres processus automatiques (i.e. effet de simple exposition, association avec le soi) sont également étudiés. Deux études (1 et 2) ont d’abord été menées afin de mettre en place une induction permettant (i) d’inhiber les processus contrôlés et (ii) de maximiser la fausse attribution affective par inhibition du contrôle attentionnel dans un paradigme de conditionnement évaluatif. Trois études sur le parrainage ont ensuite été menées dans lesquels nous observé un effet de l’exposition au parrainage sur les attitudes implicites (études 3 et 5). L’effet de l’exposition au parrainage peut être expliqué par un effet de simple exposition aux marques (étude 5), cependant, nos données ne nous permettent pas de conclure à un effet de conditionnement évaluatif (étude 4). Deux études sur la représentation de la consommation d’alcool dans les films et les séries télévisées ont permis de mettre en évidence un effet de conditionnement évaluatif indépendant de l’association avec le soi (étude 6), et que cet effet de conditionnement dépendait de processus contrôlés (étude 7). Dans l’ensemble, l’influence du parrainage sur les attitudes implicites semble s’exercer par un effet de simple exposition, tandis que l’influence de la représentation de l’alcool dans les films et séries télévisées semble davantage s’exercer par conditionnement évaluatif et association du concept d’alcool avec le soi. / This thesis focuses on the influence of alcohol sport sponsorship and alcohol consumption in movies on implicit attitudes towards alcohol. Few researches have focused on the mediating psychological mechanisms between exposure to alcohol promotion in media and long-term consumption. Our hypothesis is that evaluative conditioning through affect misattribution mediatizes the effect of exposure to alcohol stimuli on implicit attitudes toward alcohol. The effect of two other automatic processes (i.e. mere exposure effect, association with the self) are also studied. Two studies (1 and 2) were led to test an induction that (i) impairs controlled processes and (ii) maximizes affect misattribution by inhibiting attentional control in an evaluative condition paradigm. Three studies on alcohol sponsorship were then led in which we found a main effect of on implicit attitudes (studies 3 and 5). A mere exposure effect was observed in the study 5, but we found no convincing evidence for evaluative conditioning (study 4). However, we found an evaluative conditioning effect in two studies on alcohol consumption in movies and TV shows which was shown to be independent from association with the self (study 6), as well as relying on controlled processes (study 7). Overall, sponsorship effects on implicit attitudes seems to occur via a mere exposure effect, while alcohol portrayals in movies seems to impact implicit attitudes toward alcohol through evaluative conditioning and association of alcohol with the self.

It was concluded that the UMESP and UNITAU universities bit explore the victorious image of high performance handball investing as a strategic means of divulgation. / A tese aborda como a Universidade Metodista de São Paulo (UMESP) e a Universidade de Taubaté (UNITAU) utilizam o esporte de alto rendimento como meio de divulgação estratégica. O estudo mostra qual é a relação existente entre a comunicação institucional e mercadológica das referidas IES e o handebol de alto rendimento. A tese objetiva também, apresentar as ferramentas de comunicação utilizadas por UMESP e UNITAU para divulgar suas ações de patrocínio e, por fim, avaliar o grau do fluxo de comunicação dos profissionais de comunicação e marketing das IES com gestores esportivos do handebol. A comparação entre as IES analisadas deu-se pelo uso do método de pesquisa de ‘estudos de casos múltiplos’, já a pesquisa documental e a bibliográfica foram utilizadas para a construção teórica do trabalho. Os dados dos objetos de estudo foram coletados através do uso da técnica de entrevista, estas que, adotaram a característica ‘semiestruturada’ com perguntas abertas e uso de roteiro. Concluiu-se que as universidades UMESP e UNITAU pouco exploram a imagem vitoriosa do handebol de alto rendimento que investem como meio estratégico de divulgação.

The unique potential of sport as a site for the delivery of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has received increasing academic attention in recent years (e.g. Smith & Westerbeek, 2007). However, this literature has been said to have held 'relatively static conceptualisations of CSR through sport' (Dowling, Robinson & Washington, 2013, p. 270), and it could similarly be argued that insufficient attention has been given to the broader social contexts in which it has been delivered. This study therefore aimed to understand more about sport - and the Olympic Games - as a site for the delivery of CSR, using the specific context of private sector sponsor-led CSR schemes based upon the sport and physical activity participation legacy of London 2012. Three separate stages of qualitative data collection were conducted. The first comprised a thematic analysis of macro level policy discourse produced by official Olympic 'legacy actors' in relation to the proclaimed sport and activity legacy of the Games. The second stage also used thematic analysis in order to establish how 20 sponsors rationalised their CSR activity around the Games and how six who organised programmes involving either sport or activity participation justified these. The third stage comprised a series of semi-structured interviews with representatives of three Olympic sponsors and three charity delivery partners who co-operated in the delivery of specific CSR schemes. Once data was organised into themes, data analysis was informed by a governmentality perspective in order to help understand the respective roles of public and private sector organisations in not just the delivery of CSR, but also in 'governing' society in the broadest sense of the term.

abstract: ABSTRACT This mixed methods study examines 126 community college students enrolled in developmental reading courses at a mid-sized Southwestern community college. These students participated in a survey-based study regarding their reading experiences and practices, social influence upon those practices, reading sponsorship, and reading self-efficacy. The survey featured 33 structured response prompts and six free response prompts, allowing for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The study¡&brkbar;s results reflected the diverse reading interests and practices of developmental college students, revealing four main themes: -the diversity and complexity of their reading practices; -the diversity in reading genre preferences; -the strong influence of family members and teachers as reading sponsors in the past with that influence shifting to friends and college professors in the present; and, -the possible connection between self-efficacy and social engagement with reading. Findings from this study suggest these college students, often depicted as underprepared or developmental readers, are engaging in diverse and sophisticated reading practices and perceive reading as a means to achieve their success-oriented goals and to learn about the real world.This study adds to the limited field of community college literacy research, provides a more nuanced view of what it means to be an underprepared college reader, and points to ways community college educators can better support their students by acknowledging and building upon their socio-culturally influenced literacy practices. At the same time, educators can advantage students academically in terms of building their cultural capital with overt inculcation into disciplinary literacies and related repertoires of practice.

Na década de 90, a corrida de rua sofreu uma alteração significativa no seu conceito de evento. O caráter de entretenimento começou a ser explorado pelos produtores de eventos desse setor, fazendo emergir o conceito de corridas fashions. Só no estado de São Paulo, foram ofertados 415 eventos de corrida de rua, no ano de 2015. Percebendo esse mercado em expansão, empresas de diversos setores procuram se aliar ao esporte em questão e, em contrapartida, as produtoras desses eventos procuram esses patrocinadores para o financiamento das atividades. Com isso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi identificar os perfis de patrocinadores que agregam mais valor aos eventos de corrida de rua: um estudo na visão dos consumidores desse esporte. Para responder esse objetivo, optou-se por uma metodologia qualitativa de caráter exploratório. Foi aplicado um questionário misto à uma amostra de 407 corredores, em quatro eventos de corrida de rua. Esse questionário continha perguntas abertas e fechadas, e as respostas foram analisadas por meio das frequências e seus conteúdos, respectivamente. Como resultado, obteve-se um perfil de patrocinador que seja de segmentos congruentes com o esporte e a corrida de rua, como segmento esportivo, alimentício e de calçados para corredores. Além disso, segundo os consumidores, é importante que os patrocinadores ativem suas marcas durante os eventos da modalidade. Essas ativações devem ser associadas aos atributos que esses consumidores consideram como atributos da corrida de rua, como, saúde, amizade, qualidade de vida, bem-estar, socialização e diversão. Conclui-se que existem patrocinadores que agregam mais valor do que outros, na ótica do consumidor desse esporte. Essas informações podem ser úteis para os produtores de corrida de rua, uma vez que essas empresas que devem ser procuradas em uma possível prospecção de patrocinadores para os eventos da modalidade. Patrocinadores que agregam mais valor ao evento são percebidos pelos consumidores, o que resulta em uma percepção positiva daquele evento em questão e de seus patrocinadores / In the 90s the street race underwent a significant change in your event concept. The entertainment character began to be exploited by the event producers in this sector, giving rise to the concept of fashions races. Only in the state of São Paulo were offered 415 street racing events in 2015. Realizing this expanding market, companies from various sectors are seeking to combine the sport in question, and in turn producing these events seek these sponsors for funding these activities. Thus, objective of this study was to identify the profile of sponsors that add more value to street racing events: a study in view of the consumers of this sport. To meet this objective we chose a qualitative methodology exploratory. A mixed questionnaire to a sample of 407 runners in four road race event was applied. The questionnaire contained open and closed questions, which the frequencies were analyzed the responses and their contents respectively. As a result we got a sponsor profile that is congruent segments with sport and street racing as sports segment, food and shoes for runners. Moreover, according to consumers, these sponsors must activate their brands during the sport events. These activations should be associated with attributes that consumers consider as street racing attributes as health, friendship, quality of life, well-being, socialization and fun. It is concluded that there are sponsors that add more value than others in the consumer\'s view of this sport. This information can be useful for street racing producers, since these companies should be sought in a possible prospect for sponsors for the sport events. Sponsors that add more value to the event are perceived by consumers, resulting in a positive perception of that event in question and its sponsors

Hereby, Brazilian financial institutions invest thousands of dollars in sponsoring sports activities to an improvement in their brand equity. Because of this, the present study aims at understanding through literature, document and quantitative research, the sports sponsorship can add value taken as positive the brand equity of financial institutions in Brazil. For this, we studied the five largest financial institutions in Brazil, as each of sponsoring the sport and what the effect of this sponsorship before consumers. For the achievement of the goal we used the sports sponsorship theories and brand equity, seeking to focus on the approach in the sports sector. descriptive quantitative methodology was used and achieved results confirmed the hypothesis of the work, that sports sponsorship has a positive influence on the brand equity components. This demonstrates the benefits for financial institutions, helping the market gain competitive advantage and have a valued image of heritage and always present on the consumer. / Esporte remete a saúde, superação, qualidade de vida, espírito de equipe, lisura, honestidade e outras qualidades admiradas, além é claro, de mexer diretamente com a paixão do entusiasta. Por meio disto, as instituições financeiras brasileiras investem milhares de reais em patrocínio a atividades esportivas visando uma melhora em sua notoriedade e conhecimento de marca. Devido a isto, o presente estudo visa compreender, através de levantamento bibliográfico, documental e pesquisa quantitativa, se o patrocínio esportivo pode agregar valores tidos como positivos ao brand equity das instituições financeiras do Brasil. Para a realização do objetivo foram utilizadas as teorias de patrocínio esportivo e de brand equity, buscando o foco na abordagem no setor esportivo. Foi utilizada a metodologia quantitativa descritiva, através da modelagem de equações estruturadas e, com isto, alcançou resultados que confirmaram as hipóteses do trabalho, de que o patrocínio esportivo crível influencia positivamente nos componentes do brand equity. Isto demonstra os benefícios para as instituições financeiras, pois sinaliza como um norte, mostrando que ao possuir um patrocínio congruente com a sua imagem, gera a credibilidade no patrocínio e esta, por sua vez, impacta positivamente os componentes do brand equity. Com isto, há o auxílio no ganho de mercado, diferencial competitivo e patrimônio de imagem valorizado e sempre presente diante do consumidor.

É notório o crescimento da utilização do patrocínio esportivo como ferramenta de comunicação de marketing pelas empresas. Este crescimento tem despertado o interesse por uma maior e melhor compreensão acerca dos atributos desta ferramenta, especialmente no que se refere à sua eficácia e aos processos pelos quais ela é adotada e desenvolvida pelas organizações. Esta pesquisa se propôs a estudar o processo decisório e os critérios de seleção que caracterizam a tomada de decisão para ações desta natureza nas empresas. As principais contribuições deste estudo residem na tentativa de promover uma reflexão acerca de uma utilização mais estratégica e eficaz do patrocínio esportivo ? elevando assim sua credibilidade enquanto ferramenta de comunicação de marketing ? e permitir um ajustamento entre as ofertas de projetos esportivos ao perfil das potenciais empresas patrocinadoras. O desenvolvimento do estudo teve por base teórica os fundamentos de patrocínio e sua contextualização nas atividades de marketing, incluindo conceitos relacionados ao composto de marketing, ao composto de comunicação de marketing, e às modalidades, objetivos e eficácia do patrocínio. O método utilizado para a realização da pesquisa de campo foi o de estudo de campo, por meio de uma pesquisa conclusiva descritiva realizada junto a uma amostra não-probabilística de 59 empresas nacionais e multinacionais atuantes no Brasil que utilizam a ferramenta patrocínio esportivo dentre suas atividades de comunicação de marketing. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da aplicação de um questionário eletrônico com perguntas fechadas, e sua análise baseou-se, prioritariamente, na interpretação descritivo-quantitativa das freqüências obtidas nas variáveis estudadas. Cruzamentos entre variáveis também foram promovidos para verificar relações entre elas. Como conclusão do estudo obteve-se que o processo decisório para ações de patrocínio esportivo nas empresas revela-se ainda incipiente ou inexistente, resultando, consequentemente, em uma ineficácia de sua utilização; outra conclusão, referente aos critérios de seleção utilizados para a adoção destas ações, é que os principais são a pertinência, a adequação, a repercussão, e a avaliação do custo da ação a ser patrocinada. Também se verificou que certas variáveis, tais como porte e abrangência de atuação da empresa influenciam na composição dos membros participantes do processo decisório para ações de patrocínio esportivo e nos critérios de seleção que compõem este processo. Com base nas conclusões, o trabalho sugere uma maior atenção e profundidade por parte das empresas às discussões relacionadas aos processos que compõem à tomada de decisão relacionada às ações de patrocínio esportivo. / The growth of the use of sports sponsorship by companies as a marketing communication tool is notorious. This growth has raised the interest for a better and higher understanding of this tool?s attributes, especially concerning its efficacy and the processes by which it is adopted and promoted by organizations. The main purpose of this research was to study the decision making process and the selection criteria adopted by companies during the occasion of a sports sponsorship activity. The main contributions of this study lay on the attempt to promote a reflection about a more strategic and efficacious use of sports sponsorship activities ? raising its credibility while a marketing communication tool ? and to allow an adjustment between the offer of sports projects to potential sponsors and the profile of this companies. The development of the study had the sponsorship concepts and its contextualization on marketing activities as its theoretical base, including concepts related to the marketing mix, the marketing communication mix, and sponsorship kinds, efficacy and objectives. The method used for the execution of the field research was the field study, through a conclusive descriptive research applied among a non-randomized sample of 59 national and international companies acting in Brazil that adopt sports sponsorship among its marketing communication activities. The data was obtained through the application of an electronic questionnaire composed by closed questions, and its analysis relied mainly on the descriptive and quantitative interpretation of the frequency obtained for the study variables. Crossovers between variables were also promoted to verify any relationships existing between them. As a conclusion of the study it was found that the decision making process for sports sponsorship activities at companies reveals itself incipient or inexistent, resulting as a consequence, on a decrease of efficacy during its use. Another conclusion, referring to the selection criteria adopted by companies, is that the most used are pertinence, adequacy, repercussion, and cost evaluation of the action to be sponsored. It was also verified that certain variables, such as size (in revenue) and range of the company have influence over the composition of the members that take part of the decision making process and over the selection criteria that compose this process. Based on this conclusions, this study suggests a higher attention and deepness by companies on discussions concerning the decision making process related to sports sponsorship activities.

Magister Commercii - MCom / In South Africa today those who lead sport are facing increasing scrutiny which has inevitably resulted in questioning governance practices. The transition of many sports from predominantly volunteer administered organizations anchored in an amateur ethos, to professionally managed entities catering to a more sophisticated market place has created unique challenges for the governance of sport sponsorship. This evolution gives rise to possible conceptual linkage between sport sponsorship and corporate governance or none thereof. This study focuses on the ABSA-Premier Soccer League (PSL) sponsorship transaction as a case study to explore this linkage. The research is aimed at finding the nexus between sport sponsorship and corporate governance principles, namely accountability and transparency in the conclusion of this transaction. The research consists of four phases; literature review which provides a detailed analysis of all primary and secondary material available on this topic. The second phase is a qualitative case study research methodology which comprises of in-depth interviews with targeted stakeholders. The third part presents the research findings and discussion section, and lastly the way forward through reflections and recommendations including highlighting potential future research areas. This work is timely when there has been generally a heightened evolution in sport sponsorship and its focus was to explore the nexus and compliance to the founding principles of the organizations (laws of governance). Factually, good corporate governance aims at ensuring a higher degree of transparency in an organization by encouraging full disclosure of transactions in the company accounts as well as accountability. Academics have been exploring the notion of sports sponsorship and corporate governance with much of the debates grounded on understanding its commercial value. The focus for this study is on the conceptual nexus or non-thereof, between sponsorship and corporate governance. Information was collected through in-depth and experience interviews, documented reviews and analysis (such as the review and analysis of the constitution of the South Africa football Association, PSL, financial/banking sector policy regulations, South African Sports Act, corporate governance reports, annual reports, scholarly journals, academic books, conference papers and Parliamentary Monitoring Group documents etc. to mention but a few. / South Africa
