Sports hold a special place in the arena of business, at once passionate and at the same time, an exercise in event production and business like no other.
Beyond the tangible aspects of management and marketing, additional considerations can dominate the value and success of these very unique endeavours. Added to the strictly operational aspects of the events themselves, one must consider the very public eye under which these events are viewed.
Sports Management and Marketing combines cutting edge business, technology, club, national and international prestige and honour, all while showcasing the performances of the athletes and participants themselves. All aspects of this are then subject to the overarching and absolute requirement for cohesive integrity and honour.
Modern sports management is a constantly evolving exercise in which valuable lessons can be learned and applied to ensure success. Failure to learn and apply can result in damage far beyond the events themselves. One needs to look no further than current and recent sporting events for a drastic comparison of the success of the Summer Olympics and the unfolding events of the Commonwealth games to understand the implications of success and failure.
