“…A qualitative case study approach suits the social constructionist epistemology underpinning organisational legitimacy as it occurs through patterns of interaction and communication between individuals and organisations (Berger andLuckmann 1967, Yazan 2015). The prominence placed upon depth and realworld contexts in case studies better suits research that is interested in understanding the 'how' and 'why' of a specific case in accordance with the present paper's research focus (Skinner et al 2014).…”

The effectiveness of the World Anti-Doping Agency as an international non-governmental organisation with a mission to regulate anti-doping policy has been challenged before by doping scandals in sport. Historically, anti-doping policy development has been primarily reactive, determined by the need for dominant organisations to maintain power rather than to protect athletes. The purpose of this paper is to explore reactive anti-doping policy change from a multi-level legitimacy perspective. Using multi-level legitimacy theory and the concept of legitimacy challenges, it is argued that reactive policy change is motivated by a need to manage perceived organisational legitimacy. The recent exposure of systematic doping in Russia is used as an example to support this analysis. These findings are discussed in the context of current criticisms of anti-doping policy.

“…This collected a unique MAC address from any device that was "discoverable" and did not require any direct audience engagement. Anonymized call detail records (CDRs) were analyzed in relation to the methods they employed (Skinner, Edwards, & Corbett, 2014). This approach allowed for a subset of articles to be selected from an initially larger sample (Babbie, 2013).…”

Questionnaire-based surveys are a common data collection tool in events research as established by earlier reviews of methods within the literature. This article examines and critiques the historic development, current position, gaps in knowledge, and future implications for survey-based research. Two-hundred eighty-six articles from four events-specific journals were reviewed. Some diversity is found within survey-based research; however, the majority was carried out: as a single method (86%), in physical proximity to the event (67%), during the event (49%), using paper-based forms (65%), designed for self-completion (94%). The most common events targeted were: sports (43%) festivals & celebrations (20%), and music (12%). The stakeholders targeted were: audiences (54%), nonparticipants (16%), and managers (12%). Sampling methods, where stated, were likely to be random (23%) or convenience based (22%). Despite the predominance of this data collection tool, numerous areas are ideally in need of further understanding and experimentation. Mixed methods, multiple surveys, and more deliberate approaches to sampling are required. Despite an audience focus, "before and after" studies are lacking. Electronic surveys and other emerging technologies undoubtedly provide options but these do not appear to have been investigated or adopted with sufficient rigor. Targeting stakeholders other than audiences, covering a broader range of events, and longitudinal studies would also be desirable. The use of survey-based research by policy makers and funders is discussed as it potentially orients towards what the authors term "operationalized knowledge management." A brief but comprehensive typology of survey methods is established to aid future researchers.

“…The hypothesis is -each destination requires a separate qualitative analysis.Due to our multidisciplinary approach, a content analysis of the available literature, extensive discourse analysis, and a participant observation were used [10]. We can speak on a study of three cases (three specialist conferences) [11,12]. The literature of the subject was searched according to the Web of Science, Scopus, and Mendeley databases.…”
