“…Bingham and Walters (2013) highlighted the need for community sports trusts (or charities) to develop strategies to attract commercial sponsorship income to negate the impact of austerity. However, other research has already challenged ineffective interventions within these contexts (Parnell, Stratton, Drust, & Richardson, 2013), alongside under-resourced organisations [and projects], and unethical programme commissioning (Lansley & Parnell, 2016;Curran et al, 2016).…”

“…This is particularly so for NGOs and other non-profit sport organisations, such as sport charitable foundations, which, due to their limited resources (Anagnostopoulos and Shilbury, 2013;Bingham and Walters, 2013) are increasingly trying to become more outward looking (Morrow and Robinson, 2013). After all, cross-sector partnering, and in particular collaboration between non-profit organisations and businesses, has increased significantly, and is viewed by both academics and practitioners as an inescapable and powerful vehicle for achieving social and economic goals (Austin and Seitanidi, 2012;Porter and Kramer, 2011;Seitanidi and Crane 2009;Selsky and Parker, 2010).…”

Purpose -Under growing public scrutiny of their behaviour, the vast majority of multinational enterprises have been undertaking significant investments through corporate social responsibility in order to close legitimacy gaps. The purpose of this paper is to provide a descriptive account of the nature and scope of MNEs' CSR programmes that have sport at their core. More specifically, the present study addresses the following questions: (1) How do FTSE-100 firms utilise sport as part of their CSR agendas? (2) How do different industries have different approaches to CSR through sport? and (3) Can the types of CSR through sport be classified?Design/methodology/approach -Centred on legitimacy theory and exploratory in nature, the study employed a content analysis method, and examined three types of document from each of the FTSE100 firms, namely, annual reports, annual reviews and CSR reports over the ten-year period from 2003 to 2012. In total, 1,473 documents were content analysed, thereby offering a sound representation of CSR disclosure of the FTSE100. 2 of reliable conclusions problematic. Particularly, the lack of an explicit focus on longitudinality is a typical limitation, meaning that no conclusions can be made regarding the trend. The study outlined in this paper offers the most comprehensive longitudinal study of CSR through sport to date, and thus contributes to the increasing volume of literature that examines the application of CSR in relation to the sport sector.

“…The side-effects of this commercialisation have been mounting criticism for various business practices, such as poor governance, financial problems, corruption, and controversial behaviour of some players [68]. Various theories have been introduced to explain how these managerial challenges can be solved through CSR in professional sports organisations, including the stakeholder theory [15], the stewardship theory [75], and the resource-dependence theory [76]. Smith and Westerbeek [9] have summarised the CSR relationship between firms and sport: the implementation of CSR is a crucial action for management in attempting to optimise the effects of brand development.…”

Sport is a widely used as a vehicle for promoting business. Global brands invest tens of millions of euros in high performance athletes, top teams, and popular sporting events. Studies have also shown the potentiality of sport in the business context. However, relatively few studies have focused on the interaction of business and sport from a value-creation perspective. Knowledge focusing on value creation within and through sport is scattered throughout literature and a systematic understanding of how value creation manifests itself in a business context is lacking. Using a systematic literature review and inductive analysis of 44 empirical studies, the article presents six identified topics that represent the various angles to value creation in the nexus between sport and business. The topics are 1) the many shades of value, 2) brands and sponsorship as value-creators, 3) the value of CSR in and through sport, 4) sport as a network and platform, 5) sport for developing organisations internally, and 6) value congruence and identification. The article contributes to both business management and sports management. The article proposes theoretical and managerial implications and identifies avenues for further research.
