Information management and globalised sport : a South African mega-event modelDurand, Charl 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Reflecting a general trend in modern society, the world of sport has become information driven,
with effective information management becoming an essential part of all sports organisations and
sporting activities.
The sophistication oflarge, multi-sport events - mega-games - such as the Olympic Games and
Commonwealth Games demand a high standard of information management to help ensure the
smooth running of such events. This is also true of the managing of national teams participating in
them.
In this thesis a model of an information management system (IMS) is developed for managing
certain types of information in such events and the national team participating in them. The model
is based on two conceptual frameworks: Intellectual capital, and secondly the information
management cycle.
The model is then tested using a number of case studies where a specific information management
system was used to manage the information of different sports teams and events. The degree to
which the information management system was effectively implemented in each case is evaluated
and the results used to measure the correctness and accuracy of the model.
Lastly suggestions are given as to how the model can be improved in view of the case study
findings, and what the future role of information management in sports events may look like in light
of the results. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die feit dat inligtingsbestuur 'n noodsaaklike deel geword het in sport organisasies en aktiwiteite is
'n weerspieeling van 'n algemene tendens in die moderne, informasie-gedrewe samelewing.
Die ingewikkeldheid van groot, multi-sport byeenkomste - "mega-games" - soos die Olimpiese
Spele en die Gemeenskapspele vereis 'n hoe standaard van inligtingsbestuur om te verseker dat
sulke byeenkomste glad verloop. Dieselfde geld in die geval van die bestuur van die nasionale
spanne wat daaraan deelneem.
In hierdie tesis word 'n inligtingbestuursmodel ontwikkelom sekere tipes inligting van verskillende
sportbyeenkomste en nasionale sportspanne te bestuur. Die model is geskoei op twee konseptueie
raamwerke: Intellekteuie kapitaal, en tweedens die inligtingsbestuursiklus.
Die model word getoets deur middel van 'n aantal gevallestudies waartydens 'n besondere
inligtingstelsel gebruik is on sportspanne en byeenkomste se inligting mee te bestuur. Die mate
waartoe die inligtingbestuurstelsel effektief geimplementeer is word ge-evalueer en die resultate
gebruik om die korrektheid en akkuraatheid van die model te meet.
Ten slotte word voorstelle gemaak oor hoe die model verbeter kan word in die lig van die
gevallestudiebevindinge, en wat die moontlike toekomstige rol van inligtingsbestuur by
sportbyeenkomste kan wees in lig van die bevindinge.
