“…They can convince children to participate in activities using these reasons. As positive effects of sport for children are focused on, theories about motivation for attending sporting activities should be investigated and research should be carried out to create a healthy society and prevent inactivity (Linver et al, 2009;Papaioannou et al, 2008;Spray, Wang, Biddle, Chatzisarantis, & Warburton, 2006;Zakus, Malloy, & Edwards, 2007).…”

The aim of the study was to determine the factors that are effective in encouraging Turkish high school students to try sports and to identify ways to increase the number of students taking part in sport. The importance of sport in acquiring appropriate social attitudes, making good use of free time, and acquiring self-discipline and positive attitudes by learning patience, anger management, tolerance, courage, affection, and competition has been noted. In the study it was found that factors that are effective for encouraging potential participants vary according to gender and family economic situation. It was found that families give more encouragement to males compared to females for participating in sports. Wealthier families were also found to provide more support compared to less well-off families.

“…The issue of a more critical approach in management theory and practice also became the focus of sport-related papers. From the mid-noughties, academics have called for a more critical approach to sport management that would reflect to the everchanging sporting environment (Amis & Silk, 2005;Frisby, 2005;Zakus et al, 2007;Shaw et al, 2008). Most notably, Frisby (2005) questioned the lack of attention to the "bad and ugly" side of sportcorruption, environmental destruction, discrimination and inequalityfrom sport management scholars.…”

In recent years there has been growing interest over the role of major sport events and the sports industry. The aftermath of 2008 global crisis exposed the myth of "end of history" and raised several questions over the role of management and organisational practices and theories in all aspects of human activity, including sport. This article reviews the emergence of Critical Management Studies (CMS) as a field within management and organisational studies. We focus on Critical Performativity Theory (CPT) as a key concept of re-configuring managerial practices. We add our voices to those asking for more critical output in sport management and point out the potential contribution of CMS in sport and especially of CPT. Finally, we propose [Type here] "Student as Producer" as a pedagogical framework to act as a possible basis for incorporating critical theories into higher education teaching. We argue that this framework can contribute significantly towards providing future graduates with the skills and knowledge to enable them to deal with the contemporary challenges of modern sport's industry and wider society.

“…I look at this construction of sport management with the intent to explore the metaphysical chasm between more "conservative" visions of this consolidation (see Shaw, Wolfe, & Frisby, 2011) and recently developed critical sport management approaches (Amis & Silk, 2005;Frisby, 2005;Zakus, Malloy, & Edwards, 2007;Zeigler, 1994Zeigler, , 1995. As has been discussed at length elsewhere (see also Bowers, Green, & Seifried, 2014), this turn toward sport management as the overarching instructional and institutional frame for sport-related inquiry, pedagogy, and practice has been accompanied by, if not brought about, new axioms in both our teaching and our research.…”

“…Such a paradigm positions sport as a market formation without contingency, that is, a sport without history, if you will (see Andrews, 1999;Zakus, Malloy, & Edwards, 2007). Such a position bestirs the echoes of former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's conviction that "there is no alternative" ("TINA") to a market society.…”

This article seeks to unsettle the taken-for-granted epistemological and ontological foundations upon which many curricular and research-based activities in contemporary sport management are grounded. With an emphasis on that academic field's development in the United States in particular, the author problematizes the underlying assumptions that guide many of sport management's concomitant scientific and industrial projects. The article concludes with a brief discussion on how we might reenvisage both the study and praxis of sport management in ways that are not just economically generative, but in ways that might also bring about cultural and social transformation.
