Initially, we made an analysis of Corporate Governance (Models, Mechanisms and Principles), Accountability (Origins and Background Concepts, Features and Mechanisms and Models), Stakeholders (Engagement of stakeholders), Accountability and Stakeholders and Accountability in Sports Organizations. It is adopt as the ideal model of Accountability, proposed by Grant and Keohane with seven mechanisms, namely: Supervisor, Supervision, Tax, Legal Market, couples and Reputation. Following in a multiple case study in the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation - MH and the Brazilian Confederation of Rugby, we interviewed two Internal Stakeholders and three External Stakeholders by organizing, through a semi-structured script for checking the practice of Accountability in these institutions. Subsequently, we performed a detailed study of the data obtained in interviews and documents, websites relating to these organizations, as well as an intra-case analysis and inter-cases. That said, it was noticed that the adopted model of Accountability as ideal for sports organizations is not fully implemented in the studied organizations. It turned out a very great absence in organizations studied with regard to the specific definition of Accountability. According unanimity of respondents, it was realized a major lack in the training of managers of these institutions. Soon, achieved the objectives of this study was possible a better understanding of Accountability Practice in Sports Organizations. / O objetivo principal deste trabalho é analisar a Prática do Accountability em Organizações Esportivas. Inicialmente foi feita uma análise sobre: Governança Corporativa (Modelos, Mecanismos e Princípios), Accountability (Origens e Antecedentes, Conceitos, Características e Mecanismos e Modelos), Stakeholders (Engajamento dos Stakeholders), Accountability e Stakeholders e Accountability em Organizações Esportivas. Sendo adotado como modelo ideal de Accountability, o proposto por Grant e Keohane com sete mecanismos, a saber: Hierárquico, Supervisão, Fiscal, Legal, Mercado, Pares e de Reputação. Na sequência, em um estudo de caso múltiplo, na Confederação Brasileira de Voleibol – CBV e na Confederação Brasileira de Rugby, foram entrevistados dois Stakeholders Internos e três Stakeholders Externos por organização, por meio de um roteiro semiestruturado para a verificação da prática do Accountability nessas instituições. Ato contínuo, foi realizado um estudo detalhado dos dados obtidos nas entrevistas e de documentos, dos websites referentes a estas organizações, além de uma análise intra-casos e inter-casos. Isto posto, percebeu-se que o modelo adotado de Accountability como ideal para organizações esportivas não é aplicado na íntegra nas organizações estudadas. Detectou-se uma ausência muito grande nas organizações estudadas no que tange à delimitação específica do Accountability. Segundo a unanimidade dos entrevistados, percebeu-se uma carência muito grande na capacitação dos gestores destas instituições. Logo, atingidos os objetivos do trabalho foi possível um melhor entendimento da Prática do Accountability em Organizações Esportivas.

In this study we are going to analyse the criteria, on which Stockholm’s Municipality distribute public grants to cultural and sport organizations. Public funding is very importantfor many organisations, and even it is necessary for survival for some of the organisations. Although previous studies give some criticism for the criteria of the public funding. It is claimed that these criteria are not clear enough, or might have an impact on the activities in organisations. In order to achieve most objective results, we have used a qualitative research method, by interviewing representatives from cultural and sports sector. Study reviews the existing criteria of the local administrations in Stockholm for concession of financial support to the different organizations active in the field of culture and sports. Using as an argument the testimonies of the same actors involved in these areas, the study tries to find out the effects of those criteria on both social activities. During this study, new institutional theories, concerning legitimacy, decoupling and isomorphism, were used. The results of this study shows that the criteria are quite different for different types of organisations. They affect one organization and the other in a very different way. For cultural organizations the criteria havea direct effect, determining their future activities and projects. Although, for sportsorganizations the influence of the criteria is more an administrative routine that must becarried out, according to established standards.

Den svenska idrottsrörelsen har gått över från att vara en amatör- och folkrörelsebaserad verksamhet till en mer kommersiell och professionell verksamhet. Det finns ett ökat fokus på arbetet med att förbättra redovisningen hos ideella föreningar, därför att det finns en ökad oro kring kvalitén. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur de ekonomiansvariga i de ideella idrottsföreningarna upplever arbetet med den ekonomiska redovisningen och utifrån detta diskutera möjliga orsaker till varför ideella idrottsföreningars redovisning varierar i kvalité. För att uppfylla syftet genomfördes åtta kvalitativa intervjuer. Representanter från sex idrottsföreningar som är anslutna till Riksidrottsförbundet deltog i studien. Dessutom intervjuades två anställda på ett distriktsidrottsförbund. Våra resultat tyder på att de ekonomiansvariga upplever att arbetet med att upprätta den ideella idrottsföreningens redovisning tar mycket tid. Detta kan vara ett tecken på att redovisningen har vuxit i omfattning. Vidare kan denna ökade omfattning leda till tidsbrist som möjligen kan påverka redovisningens kvalité. Tidsbristen kan möjligen göra att redovisningen som en ideell idrottsförening producerar inte kan uppfylla de kvalitetsförbättrande kriterierna som finns gällande redovisning. / The Swedish sports movement has developed from sporting among common folks and amateurs to a more commercial and professional movement. The work of improving nonprofit accounting has been focused on since there are rising concerns about the quality of the accounting. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the bookkeepers experience working with the accounting, and on this basis, discuss possible causes as to why non-profit sports organizations’ accounting varies in quality. The study has been conducted through eight qualitative interviews. The participants were six representatives from non-profit sports organizations and two representatives of a District Federation from the Swedish Sport Confederation. Our study indicates that the bookkeepers find the accounting time consuming. This could be a sign that the scope of this kind of accounting has grown. This growth might further affect the quality of the accounting due to an increasing lack of time, which in turn could possibly lead to the accounting produced by a non-profit sports association not fulfilling the qualitative characteristics.

Abstract Background: The increasing professionalization of sports clubs has led to a shift in their objectives to include social responsibility in addition to sporting success. The change is due to the demand from society for organizations to contribute back to society and the need for clubs to maintain authentic relationships within their communities. Swedish elite football clubs are no exception, as they engage in socially responsible activities contributing to Swedish society. The clubs' shared practices can be explained by institutional isomorphism, a core concept within institutional theory. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to explore how stakeholders' expectations concerning CSR are managed within Swedish elite football clubs and what incentivizes the clubs to conduct CSR. The thesis will provide an understanding of how CSR is conducted and illuminate current management practices between organizations and stakeholders. Method: A qualitative interview study has been conducted with the support of secondary sources such as websites and documents. Purposive and snowball sampling has been applied to acquire relevant interview participants. The thesis utilized thematic analysis to arrive at meaningful and rich conclusions. Conclusion: The conclusion states that managing stakeholder expectations in CSR requires involving them in the process and considering their feedback and demands. The incentives for CSR include stakeholder pressures and a desire to contribute to society. Communication, information sharing, and collaboration are crucial in managing relationships between organizations and stakeholders.

La thèse vise à étudier la stratégie des clubs sportifs à travers leur évolution dans la hiérarchie compétitive. Elle s’appuie dans une première partie sur la discussion des apports de la théorie des parties prenantes, du leadership et de la théorie des conventions pour proposer un modèle d’analyse de la dynamique stratégique d’un club, ainsi qu’une typologie de configurations stratégiques. Dans une deuxième partie, la thèse confronte ce modèle à une étude longitudinale de trois clubs de basket-ball sur une quarantaine d’années. Les trois cas permettent d’analyser quatre types de configurations stratégiques : de croissance, de consolidation, de redéploiement, de sauvegarde.Les résultats de la thèse mettent en évidence quatre types de trajectoire correspondant à la succession de différentes configurations stratégiques. Les points d’inflexion apparaissent lorsque la stratégie n’atteint pas les effets attendus. La trajectoire stratégique, basée sur le résultat sportif, caractérise de la dynamique stratégique d’un club par l’enchaînement dans le temps des configurations. / The thesis aims at studying the strategy of sports clubs through their evolution in the competitive hierarchy. It is based in part on discussion of the contributions of the stakeholder theory, leadership and theory of conventions to propose an analytical model of the strategic dynamics of a club and a typology of strategic configurations. In second part, the thesis confronts this model to a longitudinal study of three basketball clubs on forty years. The three cases allow to analyze four types of strategic configurations : growth, consolidation, redeployment, safeguard.The results of the thesis reveal four types of trajectory corresponding to the succession of different strategic configurations. The inflection points occur when strategy does not achieve the desired effects. The strategic trajectory, sports result oriented, characterizes the strategic dynamics of a club by the sequence of configurations over time.

It suggests a governance pattern model for sports entities that can increase their effectiveness in a context which the sport is relevant to the State and society. The making of this thesis is a result of wide data collection, gathered from several sources. By means of a qualitative approach, the author seeked the best possible information as well as a growing awareness on the theme. This was facilitated by the his involvement with the subject, as he has managed the direction of a Sports Federation since 2005 – Vice President of Rio de Janeiro Sailing Federation during 2005-2010, and President of the same organization during 2011-2012. Here, the key Stakeholders in sport are identified and then the parameters for good governance are presented in the following areas: regulation, results, professionalism, transparency and participation. The solution proposed helps to offer more transparency and control over sports organizations, by creating an instrumental rationality which best meets the objective interests of all Stakeholders. / Esta Tese tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre as práticas de governança para Federações esportivas e a sua efetividade no Brasil, utilizando a Teoria dos Stakeholders e teorias sobre organizações esportivas. Ela sugere práticas de governança para as entidades esportivas que podem aumentar a sua efetividade - em um contexto em que o esporte é relevante para o Estado e a sociedade. São identificados os principais Stakeholders no esporte e em seguida apresentados parâmetros para uma boa governança, divididos nos campos: regulação, resultados, profissionalismo, transparência e participação. A confecção da presente Tese abrangeu uma pesquisa qualitativa, onde foram entrevistados 26 atores do mundo do esporte e analisados Estatutos e outros documentos de Confederações esportivas. Isso foi facilitado pelo envolvimento do autor com o assunto, pois exerce a direção de Federação Esportiva desde 2005 (Vice Presidente da Federação de Vela do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, 2005/2010 e Presidente da mesma entidade 2011/2012). A solução aqui proposta ajuda a conferir mais transparência e controle sobre as organizações esportivas, criando uma racionalidade instrumental que melhor atenda aos interesses objetivos do conjunto de seus Stakeholders.

This dissertation explored how sports organizations approach the communication of a defeat on social media from the perspective of organizational image management. Furthermore, this study sought to identify how sports fans react to a defeat on social media and what kind of implications fan reactions have on the organizational image management process. The sports industry has some unique characteristics compared to other commercial industries. The overall success of sports organizations is to a great extent dependent on the on-field performances of the team and the coherence of the fan community. The image of sports organizations is likewise dependent on the combination of on-field performances and how the fan community perceives the organization. Sports fans have a strong psychological connection to their favorite team. The strong attachment to a sports organization results commonly in biased evaluations of their favorite team. This dissertation examines how this dynamic unfolds in an online media environment using a customized theoretical framework that combines organizational image management theory and social identity theory. The research strategy in this dissertation consisted of a case study of six sports organizations in the Swedish Hockey League and their fans. Empirical data was collected through six interviews with communication specialists employed by the teams and by sampling comments written by fans on the teams’ Facebook pages on posts about defeats. The findings show that sports organizations in the SHL have a desire to appear honest in their approach to communicating a defeat on social media. This desire encompasses a straightforward approach to communicating a defeat on social media to their fans, making the organization to resemble a credible disseminator of information to key stakeholders in online environments. Furthermore, through the strong psychological connection to their favorite team, fans were found to have a role in the image maintenance process on social media after a defeat. Fans took mainly two different stances on social media after a defeat and were found to both hinder and aid the image management process after a defeat.

Shared vision is understood as the mental image shared by a group of individuals facing a desired future condition to be achieved. The theoretical framework of this study covered concepts related to shared vision and managerial conversation of management teams in the context of the management of small sports organizations in the Third Sector. The methodological approach was descriptive and based on qualitative research methods and the multicaso study (Yin, 2015; Eisenhardt, 1989b; Lima, 2010). The data were collected through in-depth interviews. This analysis included steps of intracause and intercaso analysis, according to the recommendations of Miles and Huberman (1994) and Lima (2010), in order to present the relationship between variables through schemas and representative tables to organize and provide greater clarity to the data of the search. For better analysis of the data, the Atlas-ti software was used in order to obtain a greater depth and level of detail of the study. The analyzes reveal that the formation and evolution of the common vision of the steering teams are fed by shared NEV (new elements of vision). These are generated in the subjectivity of the steering team members under the influence of FI (influence factors). The "strategic conversation", the "way of being", the "individual images", the "shared magens" and "the individual vision" are the most important FI to explain the phenomenon studied in all POETS cases. / Este estudo descreveu as características da formação e evolução da visão compartilhada de equipes de direção de quatro organizações esportivas do terceiro setor. A visão compartilhada é entendida como a imagem mental compartilhada por um conjuto de indivíduos diante de uma condição futura desejada a alcançar. A estrutura teórica do presente estudo percorreu conceitos relativos à visão compartilhada e conversa estatégica das equipes de direção no contexto da gestão de pequenas organizações esportivas do Terceiro Setor. A abordagem metodológica foi descritiva e baseada em métodos qualitativos de pesquisa e no estudo multicaso (Yin, 2015; Eisenhardt, 1989b; Lima 2010). A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas em profundidade. Esta análise incluiu etapas de análise intracaso e intercaso, segundo as recomendações de Miles e Huberman (1994) e Lima (2010), de modo a apresentar a relação entre variáveis por meio de esquemas e quadros representativos para organizar e proporcionar maior clareza aos dados da pesquisa. Para melhor análise dos dados, foi utilizado o software Atlas-ti a fim de se obter uma maior profundidade e nível de detalhamento do estudo. As análises revelam que a formação e evolução da visão comum das equipas de direção são alimentados por NEV (novos elementos de visão) compartilhado. Estes são gerados na subjetividade dos membros da equipe de direção sob a influência de FI (fatores de influencia). A “conversa estratégica”, o “modo de ser”, as “imagens individuais”, as “magens compartilhadas” e “a visão individual” são os mais importantes FI para explicar o fenômeno estudado em todos os casos de POETS.
