“…Some authors state that the history or tradition of sports organizations can influence deterrence from innovative strategies (Smith & Shilbury, 2004), and Wolfe, Wright & Smart (2006) emphasize the importance of innovation among champions (successful clubs) who have a long tradition in professional sports contexts. The vital role of dimensions of organizational climate in the prediction of innovation in sports clubs of different levels of competition is training and innovation (Escamilla-Fajardo, Núñez-Pomar, and Parra-Camacho, 2019).…”

This research tested the interactions among organizational learning culture, leadership styles, climate for innovation, and marketing concept of sports clubs in team sports. The study included elite sport managers (N=118), from four team sports (football, basketball, handball, and volleyball), who participated in the highest rank of national competition in Serbia. The organizational learning culture was measured with attitudes of respondents about the organizational learning culture at individual, team or group level, and organization as dichotomous variables, while leadership styles used the MLQ self-assessment questionnaire. The climate for innovation scale was measured with scales for assessing organizational support for creativity, maladaptation, support for innovation, and resource supply. The presence/absence of components of the different marketing mix aspects was measured as a four-dimensional variable for evaluation marketing concept. The results supported the mediation and path models. Direct effect to variable marketing concept is noticed only in the organizational learning culture, while climate for innovations and leadership style did not have a direct effect on the marketing concept. Indirect effects revealed that the status of the sports branch, the market position of each club in its sport competitive results, and the education background of managers' impact marketing concept in team sports in Serbia. The theoretical and practical contributions of obtaining results are discussed.

Managing a personal sporting career and conducting an entrepreneurial initiative are two vitally connected processes. Most athletes require a second career and many engage in entrepreneurship. Research on the similarities and differences of the sports career management process and entrepreneurial process -with a special emphasis on the necessary capacities -will have a ready audience among practitioners. This study begins the task of closing a surprising gap. In entrepreneurship literature, there is (1) growing research on entrepreneurial process and entrepreneurial capacity as the key driver, (2) strong work in generic, descriptive and explanatory modelling of process as a whole and capacity as a sub-process, and (3) the presence of a generic model of entrepreneurial process based of what distinguishes entrepreneurial capacity from other human capacities. In sports management literature these research strands are virtually absent. The study indicates how the deficiency might be remedied.

“…Sport researchers have attempted to understand the adoption and implementation of innovative practices from various perspectives within sports. From an organizational viewpoint, previous research has considered the effects of organizational climate on predicting innovation in sports clubs (Escamilla-Fajardo et al, 2019), intricacies of innovation from the field of Sport for Development and Peace (Svensson & Cohen, 2020), intraorganizational conditions for social innovation , and business analytics in professional sport organizations (Troilo et al, 2016). From a sport business professional's perspective, researchers have explored the individual innovativeness of sport manager candidates (Kurtipek & Gungor, 2019) and perceptions towards innovation by non-profit practitioners .…”

This study's focus is to determine why some leaders adopt an innovation, while others do not, through the case of high school athletic directors' digital ticket adoption. We explore the process through which sport managers evaluate an innovation as the best course of action. The purpose of this study was to identify critical factors influencing high school athletic directors' decisions to adopt digital ticketing as the best strategy for securing revenue and serving their event attendees. High school athletic directors (N = 628) completed an online survey measuring the effects that leaders' prior conditions and perceived characteristics of the innovation (i.e., independent variables) have on their decision to adopt or reject the technology (i.e., dependent variable). From a theoretical perspective, we extend the conceptual model proposed by Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory, including two constructs specific to the situation considered (i.e., trust and cost). From a managerial standpoint, there appears to be a need to educate athletic directors on the free digital ticketing options available and its ease-of-use. Future research should explore the athletic directors' decision-making process across a more extensive timeline through a longitudinal study.
