Purpose The purpose of this paper is to overcome the traditional general approach to sport policy by taking an entrepreneurial perspective. This helps link the fragmented literatures of entrepreneurship, public policy and sport entrepreneurship in order to develop a new perspective of sport entrepreneurship and public policy. Design/methodology/approach A literature review is conducted that highlights the need for public policy to focus on entrepreneurship in sports contexts. Findings In the past, sport policy focused more on governance and political elements but these can be embedded into a policy entrepreneurship perspective regarding sport. This helps to redefine and bridge the literature on sport entrepreneurship and public policy. Originality/value Most sport policy research has tended to take a more organizational behavior or political science approach. Thus, this paper takes a new perspective by incorporating the nascent sport entrepreneurship literature into public policy debates. This is helpful to public policy planners but also sports managers who need to work together to build better policy initiatives.

This study tests Ajzen's 1 Theory of Planned Behavior in sport sciences with the purpose of determining which variables most influence students' entrepreneurial intentions. Although this theory has been employed to explain entrepreneurial intentions within different contexts, the context of sport sciences has not been addressed. A sample of 379 sport sciences students were administered the Entrepreneurial Intentions Questionnaire and results were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicate that both perceived attitudes and perceived behavior control have significant positive impacts on entrepreneurial intentions, while the impact of subjective norms is negative. Several suggestions to improve curriculum design and teaching in order to promote entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors are provided.

“…On the other hand, technology issues also related to emerging technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, mediated sports consumption, and sophisticated wearable technology, fundamentally change sports consumer experiences and push the boundaries of sports management research (35). Numerous technological innovations, such as artificial turf and field surfaces (36), novel fabrics and textiles (37), the rise of mobile commerce and smartphones (38), and virtual reality (39), have driven significant changes in the sports industry and influenced the way sports organizations were managed (40). Sports organizations were forced to continually evolve to remain current with technology innovations (37), yet the sports managers frequently struggle to adopt new technologies (36).…”
