  • Value Co-Creation Among Stakeholders of a Commercial Sport Event: the Case of the X-Games Norway
    Value Co-Creation among Stakeholders of a Commercial Sport Event: The Case of the X-Games Norway Baarlid, Linn1; Moro Strittmatter, Anna-Maria1 and Horbel, Chris2,1 1: Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Norway; 2: University of Southern Denmark [email protected] Aim The X Games Norway was the first large-scale sport event in Norway that was solely hosted by commercial companies (SAHR, TV2, and ESPN). Since the Norwegian sport system is highly institutionalized under the umbrella of the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports (NIF), the hosting of the X Games outside Norwegian organized sports triggered an intensive sport political discussion. It was argued that a for-profit-oriented event is challenging the values of Norwegian organized sports, characterized by volunteerism and democracy and driven by non-profit organizations. Despite this debate, athletes, spectators, National Sport Organisations (NSOs) and other stakeholders of the event found great value in the event. Providing substance to the debate whether NIF’s position that commercial sport events threaten traditional organized sport is in fact constructed, this research aims at identifying if there are any differences between traditionally organized and commercial sport events, and if so whether these are harmful for traditional sports. The research aim is approached by examining how stakeholders of a commercial event co-create value and comparisons with traditional sport events. Theoretical Background and Literature Review Even though one focal actor might be responsible for the event, they are in fact co-created. “Other stakeholders at various stages before, during, or after the event also contribute to its value” (Woratschek, Horbel, & Popp, 2014, p.

  • Youth Olympic Games Awareness: an Analysis of Parents of Elite Youth Sport Athletes
    29 Youth Olympic Games Awareness: An Analysis of Parents of Elite Youth Sport Athletes Jeffrey C. Petersen, Baylor University Sarah Deitz, Brianna Leitzelar, Ball State University David Bellar, University of Louisiana at Lafayette Lawrence W. Judge, Ball State University Abstract The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) were established to bolster interest in the Olympic movement among the world’s youth. However, several prior studies have documented low levels of YOG awareness among multiple populations. As parents form a primary stakeholder group in the development of youth sport, this study sought to determine the awareness of the YOG compared to other mega-sport festivals, specifically within a group of elite youth athletes’ parents. A 24-item survey instrument was developed based upon prior YOG research surveys with additional comparative questions related to the 2012 London Olympic Games (LOG) and the Winter X Games (WXG). The results indicated that the YOG are lesser known than the WXG and the LOG. Despite the high level of elite youth sport engagement of this population, the low levels of YOG awareness and event consumption intent demonstrate a need for additional marketing and promotions for the YOG. Introduction A lack of new younger fans is leading to an aging audience for the Olympic Games. For example, median age for U.S. viewers for the Sochi Games in 2014 was 55 while the 2002 Salt Lake City Games was 48 (Duff & Rossingh, 2015). Across the entirety of the Sochi Winter Games, coverage the 18-49 age group viewership netted a record low rating compared to other Olympic Games of 5.5 or just over 21 million viewers in this crucial demographic group (Patten, 2014).
