During the past few decades, the sport industry has experienced immense pressure to commercialise its operations and conform to traditional business practices (Chadwick 2009:191). With this evolution from a pure leisure activity to a multimillion dollar industry, it has become evident that the unique characteristics and deeply rooted historical culture of sport pose significant challenges for the sport manager during the process of commercialisation and the application of strategic management. The aim of this study was to analyse the current business environment of Cycling South Africa (CyclingSA) in such a way that the factors in the micro-environment, market environment and macro-environment that impact on the organisation‟s strategic decisions could be identified. The results should allow sport organisations to engage more effectively in strategic management by focusing on factors that influence the sport organisation‟s business environment in particular. A survey of CyclingSA members‟ perceptions of the organisation‟s current effectiveness in the business environment revealed a strong focus on financial and marketing elements. The study also found that factors such as loyalty programmes, talent identification and sport science support, safety in the physical environment, antidoping regulations, transformation and black economic empowerment and environmental friendly practices play a key role in CyclingSA‟s business environment. It is evident from the study that sport organisations, with specific reference to CyclingSA, should engage in strategic management by adapting traditional business principles to suit each organisation‟s unique needs. / Business Management / M.

Methods: PEST analysis SWOT analysis Porters five forces analysis Marketing research - qualitative method - in-depth interview - quantitative method - questionnaires Results: The results of evaluation of the marketing of selected Czech football league clubs showed significant differences in the quality of marketing activities between clubs.

Despite the lack of financial and human resources some elements are made with precision. I also tried to propose some measures that might lead to improvement and streamlining of marketing activities of clubs and that would be realistic even at third league level. These recommendations are mainly in the field of internet communication, accompanying programs, competitions and events that may increase the interest of viewers and partners of the clubs.

Esse trabalho se propôs a preencher uma das lacunas teóricas apontadas na Visão Baseada em Recursos (RBV): a origem dos recursos que garantem desempenho superior para as empresas conforme proposta de pesquisa de Barney, Ketchen e Wright (2011) e Maritan e Peteraf (2011). A RBV é uma teoria que sustenta que o desempenho superior obtido por algumas organizações é resultado da posse e exploração de recursos valiosos e imperfeitamente móveis, isto é, difíceis de serem adquiridos ou copiados pelos concorrentes. Há inúmeros trabalhos que testam e validam a causalidade entre a posse ou quantidade de um recurso específico com o desempenho organizacional. Conforme proposta metodológica de Rouse e Daellenbach (1999), de que pesquisas em RBV devem selecionar empresas que compartilham os mesmos fatores de produção e disputam mercados semelhantes, foi selecionada uma indústria específica para análise de como um recurso chave nessa indústria é desenvolvido. A seleção do recurso para estudo se baseou na proposta de Newbert (2007) sobre o enquadramento desse recurso nos pressupostos da RBV. A indústria escolhida foi a do futebol profissional. O recurso escolhido para compreensão foi a torcida de um clube. A partir dessa escolha, fundamentada em dados e premissas, foram formulados os seguintes objetivos de pesquisa: levantar quais fatores são relevantes na escolha do indivíduo por um clube de futebol para torcer, verificar a importância desses fatores na decisão do indivíduo e verificar qual a predominância dos fatores sob controle da organização na escolha do indivíduo. O primeiro objetivo foi cumprido com uma pesquisa qualitativa, cujo método empregado foi a teoria fundamentada. A partir do modelo proposto na fase qualitativa, os demais objetivos foram cumpridos com a utilização de modelos de regressão logística e análise discriminante. Nesses modelos, a variável dependente era categórica (time escolhido para torcer) e as variáveis independentes foram composição familiar, lealdade familiar - medida de acordo com o constructo de Funk e James (2001), personalidade de marca dos clubes, desempenho esportivo dos clubes, qualidade dos jogadores e exposição dos clubes. Mostraram-se mais relevantes as variáveis relacionadas à família do indivíduo, sendo o desempenho esportivo também uma variável capaz de influenciar a escolha do indivíduo. Os resultados do trabalho atestam a existência de limites de competição ex ante e ex post por esse recurso, evidenciando que clubes com posição inferior desse recurso devem aumentar consideravelmente seu desempenho esportivo para acumular quantidades desse recurso, devido ao efeito de massa existente. / This thesis aimed at filling a literature gap indicated in Resource Based View: the development of resources that lead to superior performance. According to research propositions by Barney, Ketchen & Wright (2011) and Maritan & Peteraf (2011). RBV is a management theory that sustains that superior performance is due to ownership and use of valuable and imperfect mobile resources, that is, resources that cannot by aquired or imitated by competitors. There are several research papers testing and validating the causality betweeen ownership or superior quantity of an specific resource and organizational performance. Following research design proposal by Rouse & Daellenbach (1999), in which RBV researches must select firms that share the same production factors and compete in similar markets, it was selected an specific industry to analyze how a key resource in this industry is developed. The resource selection for this research was based on Newbert\'s (2007) proposal about how a resource can be framed in RBV foundations. Chosen industry was professional football. The chosen resource was clubs\'s fans base. From this research choice, based on data and assumptions, research objectives were formulated: reveal which factors are relevant on individual\'s choice of a football club to be a fan, verify importance of this factors on individual\'s decision and examine preponderance of factors under organizational\'s control. First research objective was completed with a qualitative research, based on grounded theory method. From proposed model on qualitative phase, later objectives were accomplished using logistic regression and discriminant analysis models. On this models, dependent variable was nominal-qualitative (chosen football club to be a fan) and independent variable were family composition, family loyalty - measured with Funk & James (2001) construct, clubs\'s brand personality traits, sport performance, players quality and club media exposition. Most relevant factors were Family related variables, being sport performance also capable of influence fan choice. Research results indicate ex ante and ex post limits to competition, highlighting that clubs with an inferior resource position must considerable elevate its sport performance to accumulate more quantity of this resource, due to existent mass effect.

These revenues derive from different sources: image rights, ticket sales, sale of products, among many others. And these revenues are increasing and fans, like never before, having access to an infinite variety of consumer items, ranging from simple key chains to the possibility of traveling with the team. In the process of change, soccer is no longer the sport of British royalty. It has become the most popular sport in the world. It is within this scenario that this study proposes, on a first level, to examine, through an exploratory qualitative research, soccer clubs and the work they are undertaking to strengthen themselves in the entertainment industry as a brand of expression and, on a second level, through survey with 1,296 respondents, to analyze how the marketing activities undertaken by these clubs are leveraging fans' consumerism. As a result, it is believed that the analysis made in this study supports the notion that changes in soccer industry are profound and altering the foundation of financial support. Fans begin to be seen by their clubs and corporate sponsors as potential consumers eager for products that carry the brand of their beloved teams / O futebol brasileiro está entrando numa nova fase, em que não pode mais ser visto apenas como um esporte e sim como um grande negócio capaz de gerar receita na ordem dos bilhões de dólares anuais. Essas receitas, que podem ser oriundas das mais diferentes fontes direito de imagem, bilheteria, venda de produtos, entre tantos outras estão aumentando e o torcedor, como nunca antes, tendo acesso a uma variedade infinita de artigos de consumo, que vão do mais simples chaveiro a possibilidade de viajar com o time. Nesse processo de mudanças, o futebol deixou definitivamente de ser o esporte da realeza britânica para se estabelecer como o esporte mais popular do mundo. É neste cenário que o presente trabalho propõe-se, numa primeira etapa, a analisar, por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória, os clubes de futebol e o trabalho que eles estão realizando para se fortalecer na indústria do entretenimento como uma marca de expressão e, numa segunda etapa, por meio de pesquisa survey com 1.296 pesquisados, analisar como as ações de marketing dos clubes estão potencializando o consumo do torcedor. Como resultado final, acredita-se que as análises feitas neste trabalho corroboram para mostrar que as mudanças na indústria do futebol são profundas e estão alterando seus alicerces financeiros. Os torcedores começam a ser vistos por seus clubes e pelas empresas patrocinadoras como potenciais consumidores ávidos por produtos que estampem a marca de seus clubes de coração

Sport räknas idag som ett gränsöverskridande fenomen som intresserar människor världen över, såväl utövare som åskådare. På senare år har den tekniska utvecklingen bidragit till en förändring i hur sport konsumeras, avståndet mellan utövarna och åskådarna har minskat i takt med en ökad kommersialisering. Samtidigt har de ekonomiska förutsättningarna för klubbar och tävlingar blivit allt tuffare, vilket lett till sportmarknadsförarna tvingats hitta innovativa och kostnadseffektiva sätt att marknadsföra verksamheten. Ett allt populärare sätt att marknadsföra sig är via sociala medier, som existerar till följd av den tekniska utvecklingen. Med tanke på att fler och fler av den yngre generationen syns och hörs på sociala medier dagligen är det intressant att undersöka hur sociala medier påverkat fördelningen av marknadsföringsresurser inom sportindustrin.Syftet med studien är att öka förståelsen för hur den tekniska utvecklingen, i synnerhet sociala medier, förändrat förutsättningarna för interaktion och kommunikation med konsumenter. För att uppfylla syftet har en empirisk undersökning utförts på svenska idrottsklubbar och idrottstävlingar. Undersökningen baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med respondenter från sju olika idrottsorganisationer. Empirin analyserades med hjälp av en teoretisk referensram innehållande en specifik modell och tidigare forskning fokuserad på tre områden: sportmarknadsföring, relationsmarknadsföring och sociala medier.Studiens resultat visar att de sociala medierna på kort tid har fått en betydande roll för sportorganisationer och hur de kommunicerar med konsumenter. Fördelningen av marknadsföringsresurser har skiftat från tidigare nästan enbart traditionell marknadsföring mot att nu främst fokusera på sociala medier som kanal för kundinteraktion. Med tanke på organisationernas begränsade ekonomiska möjligheter lämpar sig sociala medier väl som ett verktyg för kostnadseffektiv marknadsföring. Idrottsorganisationerna präglas idag alltmer av de sociala medierna och utvecklingen pekar på att de traditionella medierna fortsatt kommer minska med tiden.För framtida forskning anser vi att urvalet bör breddas ytterligare, både ur ett geografiskt och storleksmässigt perspektiv. Dessutom hade det varit av värde att undersöka klubbar och tävlingar mellan olika länder med de olika förutsättningar som råder från land till land. Framtida studier kan också tänkas genomföra studien över ett större tidsintervall för att kunna mäta förändring över tid. / Program: Civilekonomprogrammet

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ricardo Piragini.pdf: 980844 bytes, checksum: f4a490355b040a686b6d05e83c8e2088 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-02-23 / The present dissertation aims to provide a reflection on the current scenario that supports the world sporting events, which increasingly require large investments for their execution, depending on the contributions of the governments that host them and, mainly, on the generation of own revenues, through sponsorship and partnerships. As states are not always able to fully finance all investments, the organizers use the exploitation of intellectual property assets for this purpose, thus requiring exceptional privileges, which will be discussed below. The question that arises refers to the sports marketing used as an instrument of viabilization of the sport activity addressing the complex relationship that is established between sponsors, athletes and clubs. Considering the aspect of the brands, the methodological didactic section delimits the field of study in the construction of the brand used by the sports organization and organization and its marketing developments. In order to reach the objective outlined, it will be necessary to apply a qualitative study methodology, and the research will be bibliographical, doctrinal, concluding with a case study in interview format, especially under comparative law bias / A presente dissertação objetiva propiciar uma reflexão sobre o atual cenário que dá suporte aos eventos esportivos mundiais os quais necessitam, cada vez mais, de vultosos investimentos para sua execução, dependendo de aportes dos governos que os sediam e, principalmente, da geração de receitas próprias, via patrocínio e parcerias. Como, nem sempre, os Estados têm condições de bancar, integralmente, todos os investimentos, as entidades organizadoras se valem da exploração dos ativos de propriedade intelectual para tal desiderato carecendo, assim, de privilégios excepcionais, o que será discutido adiante. A questão que se coloca refere-se ao marketing desportivo utilizado como instrumento de viabilização da atividade desportiva abordando a complexa relação que se estabelece entre patrocinadores, atletas e clubes. Considerando o aspecto das marcas, o corte didático metodológico proposto delimita o campo de estudo na construção da marca utilizada pelas entidades de prática e organização desportiva e seus desdobramentos mercadológicos. Para alcançar o objetivo delineado, será necessária a aplicação de uma metodologia de estudo qualitativa, sendo que a pesquisa será bibliográfica, doutrinária, concluindo com estudo de caso no formato de entrevista, especialmente sob o viés do direito comparado
