Świ ętem wspólnoty jest Dzie ń Wspólnoty Walenckiej – 9 pa ździernika. Walencja lub Wspólnota Walencka (katal. Comunitat Valenciana, hiszp. Comunidad Valenciana) – wspólnota autonomiczna poło żona w południowo- wschodniej Hiszpanii ze stolic ą w Walencji. W wi ększo ści obejmuje historyczny region zwany Krajem Walencji (hiszp. País Valenciano), który do 1707 jako Królestwo Walencji (katal. Regne de Valencia) wraz z Katalonią, Aragoni ą i Balearami tworzył historyczne Królestwo Aragonii. Od północy graniczy z Kataloni ą i Aragoni ą, od zachodu z Kastyli ą-La Manch ą, od południa z Murcj ą. Wspólnota Walencka dzieli si ę na 3 prowincje: Walencja, Alicante oraz Castellón.

Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions on Sport Performance of Football Clubs in the Highest Professional League in Poland
Service Management 1/2015, Vol. 15, ISSN: 1898-0511 | website: www.wzieu.pl/SM | DOI: 10.18276/smt.2015.15-09 | 77–86 IMPACT OF MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS ON SPORT PERFORMANCE OF FOOTBALL CLUBS IN THE HIGHEST PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE IN POLAND Szczepan Kościółek,1 K arolina Nessel2 1 Cracow University of Economics e-mail: [email protected] 2 Jagiellonian University in Kraków e-mail: [email protected] Received 25 March 2015 Accepted 1 June 2015 JEL classification G34, L83, Z21 Keywords Ekstraklasa, football, mergers and acquisitions, sports club, sport performance Abstract Mergers and acquisitions (M & As) in professional sports evoke strong emotions. Whereas for some econo- mists (and club owners) they are just business operations aimed to improve sport and financial performance of organizations, the supporters often reject this proposition on the grounds of identity and symbol issues. Given the lack of studies devoted to consolidation operations in Polish professional sports, the paper undertakes the analysis of M & As in the highest professional football league in Poland (Ekstraklasa) since 1989 with the aim to verify their impact on sport performance of the football clubs involved. The results of this multiple case study indicate that the main motivations for M & As in the sports club context are the same as in other industries (search for specific assets, strategic considerations, profit and loss calculations). In addition, the success rate also resembles the one in other sectors: only in one case (out of four studied) the merger has led to a clear and lasting improvement of sport performance (although not an immediate one). -

The observed transformation of football clubs into business entities, introducing licensed access criteria to football events by the Union of European Football Associations and national football associations bring new challenges to football clubs. Facing these challenges requires taking actions that ensure a good and stable economic condition. In this respect, this study concerns a valid and important problem of general financial and assets situation of football clubs participating in the Polish Ekstraklasa events. The following research methods have been used to achieve the assumed research goal: descriptive, comparative, subject literature analysis, legal acts analysis and index analysis of financial statements. The index analysis has been focused on the assessment of liquidity, debt and profitability of the analysed football clubs, considering the threats to the continuation of their activity. The obtained results gave a specific profile of activity, in a financial approach. The insight into financial statements in terms of liquidity, debt and profitability also highlighted the reservations concerning the financial condition in a large group of the analysed entities. -
