“…Many sport management scholars have used network theory and SNA to study stakeholder's positions and roles (e.g., presence, coordination, influence, power) in networks (e.g., Dobbels et al, 2018;Hambrick et al, 2019;MacLean et al, 2011;Parent, 2016;Parent et al, 2017Parent et al, , 2018. Some of this work explored the flow of information resources, physical and human resources, and financial resources in networks (Dobbels et al, 2018;Hambrick et al, 2019).…”

Although professional sport teams increasingly engage in causerelated marketing (CRM), implementation often remains ad-hoc and superficial. CRM managers fall short of establishing the needed interorganizational collaborations to attain mutually beneficial outcomes for the organization and society at large. Little is known about the structures and underlying mechanisms behind these CRM collaborations. Network theory and the associated social network analysis was utilized to unravel and compare network structures and governance of two Belgian professional soccer teams with different CRM strategies (i.e., altruistic and integrative). Findings showed a smaller, more fragmented, and centralized network in the altruistic compared to the integrative CRM type. The community department dominated the flow in the altruistic network (i.e., lead organization-governed), while coordination was shared amongst stakeholders in the integrative network (i.e., shared participant-governed). Findings also indicated that both networks could be optimized to better resonate with the CRM strategy envisioned. This study goes beyond a dyadic view on partnerships and contributes to the CRM literature by revealing stakeholder structures surrounding the focal organization. Practically, it helps managers to develop, manage, and sustain partnerships that are supportive of their respective CRM strategies, resulting in more effective CRM approaches and lasting economic and societal impact.

“…But, few club memberships are free from expense. There are significant, extant power structures within the Olympic system that subvert the interests of newer, less connected actors (Parent et al, 2017). Take snowboard's inclusion in the Olympic Movement, for example.…”

In 2019, Jim Parry, a sport philosophy and Olympic scholar, wrote an article entitled “E-sports are not sports”. While their position is admirable, their commentary is rife with inaccuracies. In short, Parry panders two key myths that sour a balanced discussion of esports as a sport: (1) esports is seeking to become an Olympic sport, and (2) esports does not fit the definition, however arbitrary, of sport. In this response piece, both myths are dispelled and, ultimately, esports is positioned as a form of modern sport that should be accepted (but perhaps not actively supported) by traditionalists. The argument is made that sport can fall into either traditional or modern forms, and that given more technological innovations are on the way, it is critical that sport is not restrictive and remains inclusive to new forms.

“…World Expo as a special event is considered to be a significant tourism activity due to its impacts in terms of promoting the host city brand, attracting a number of visitors and creating an opportunity for economic benefits for the residents [23,24]. However, it is imperative for the destination authorities to win the confidence of the local residents before taking any decision related to organizing such a mega tourism event like a world expo [25,26]. Rather, the inhabitants of a region, should be included from the very beginning in any kind of planning of such tourism development.…”

Exploring Residents’ Perceptions of Mega Event-Dubai Expo 2020: A Pre-Event Perspective

et al. 2019

This study explores the residents’ perceptions of economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts of a mega-event (World Expo 2020) to be held in Dubai, as well as their level of inclination to participate in the event. The event organizers announced a requirement of thirty thousand volunteers to assist them in successfully organizing the mega event. Such events could prove to be landmarks in destination brand building and may lead to an increase in the number of tourists. The purpose of the study is to gauge the level of understanding about the event impacts within the resident population and their willingness to get involved in event organization. Priory studies of perceptions about the economic, cultural and environmental impacts of a mega-event, are well-nigh non-existent, especially for World Expositions. This study explores residents’ perception to get a fair idea of how they get involved in a mega event that will surely have profound impacts on the destination. Drawing on stakeholder theory and triple bottom line (TBL) model, the study uses primary data collected from more than two hundred fifty residents of the region, through a structured questionnaire. The data analysis follows a descriptive design supported by SEM and path analysis. Major findings indicate favorable and promising responses from the residents, and brings forth the scope to improve the level of involvement of the residents to make the event a success.
