Abstract:One of the most important aspects that sport organisations need to pay attention when it comes to being competitive is the use of total quality management (TQM) techniques. The aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework of the use and influence of TQM techniques in the sports organisations' performance by providing the relationship between these techniques and overall performance. Our conceptual framework is based on the influence of these techniques: quality circles, benchmarking, continuous improvement (kaizen), empowerment and outsourcing. These techniques contribute to increase the overall quality, increase innovations, increase the employees' involvement and loyalty and increase the financial stability of sport organisations.Keywords: total quality management; TQM; TQM techniques; sport organisation; quality programs; performance.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Rexhepi, G., Ramadani, V. and Ratten, V.

“…It is recognised that this cannot always be perfectly achieved but it is thought that managers need to be in control, to design and use systems that ultimately lead to the aims, goals and objectives being achieved (Stacey, 2003). Additionally, managers need to show entrepreneurial skills and demonstrate the ability to be innovative and show initiative (Ratten, 2011b). This is particularly important in sport as sports teams, organisations, players and managers have to develop new strategies to improve their performance (Ratten, 2011b).…”

Purpose: This paper aims to highlight and encourage consideration of the ethical and in some instances legal implications of managerial change in the EPL which often gets overlooked and sidestepped by clubs.Design/methodology/approach: Extant literature relating to managerial change is identified and discussed to provide the foundations of the discussion of whether managerial change in the EPL which is primarily focused on performance outcome, is neglecting ethical and legal issues. Findings:The loophole that exists in the Employment Rights Act (1996) allows clubs to instantly dismiss a manager and consequently not see out their notice period as agreed in their contract or the statutory notice period. Whilst legally clubs are at will to act in this manner, the instability of EPL management evident today appears to have taken away the rights of an employee. Practical implications:Greater consideration of the current managerial change practices in EPL from an ethical and legal perspective appears warranted. The incomparable rights that a player and a manger have relating to their tenure at a club seem somewhat unfair. Originality/value: Presents thought-provoking information relating to managerial change inthe EPL which appears to have been overlooked in the literature to date which primarily focuses on the impact of change on performance. There is little evidence presently to suggest that football clubs stand by their manager in bad times. In fact, according to many there is an unhealthy churn of managers with sacked managers and coaches hired by competitors who have dismissed their own coach in order to appoint someone else (e.g.

Most defi nitions of entrepreneurship include the need for innovation, opportunity and vision.…”
