  • The IPC As a Change-Maker? Insights from the Institutional Theory
    The IPC as a change-maker? Insights from the institutional theory Simon Gérard Faculty of Business and Law, Coventry University, United Kingdom Faculté des Sciences de la Motricité, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium [email protected] Thierry Zintz Faculté des Sciences de la Motricité Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium [email protected] Abstract The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) increasingly becomes a key actor in the sport movement, yet its organizational development remains under-researched. This paper explores how the IPC, since its creation in 1989, emerged from the margins of the “able-bodied” sport movement and developed new sport opportunities for para-athletes. To do so, the literature in institutional entrepreneurship is investigated as well as the two concepts of institutional boundaries and practices. Methodologically, the research is based on content analysis of archival records. The study reveals two main stages during which the IPC significantly transformed the legitimated boundaries and practices within the sport movement. Based on this analysis, some of the key institutional challenges the IPC is currently facing are highlighted and discussed. Keywords Institutional change, Institutional work, Power, Paralympic Movement, Processual analysis. Gérard, S. & Zintz, T. (2017). The IPC as a change-maker? Insights from the institutional theory.

Retrieved from http://diagorasjournal. com/index.php/diagoras/article/view/9 95 Introduction The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement and has underwent tremendous organizational changes since its creation in 1989 (Bailey, 2008; Brittain, 2010; Howe, 2008). The IPC’s goal is to promote sport for para-athletes at the world-wide level with the ultimate aspiration of making “for a more inclusive society for people with an impairment through para-sports” (IPC, 2017).

Oleg Kharchenko, chief architect at SC Olympstroy, the state corpo- ration for construction of Sochi’s Olympic venues, described the Sochi Olympic Park as ‘an architectural ensemble incor- porating a diverse array of façades, colours and textures’. Tata Steel subsidiary and manufacturer of tailored metal building envelopes Kalzip has made a significant contribution to this image, as it was involved in the complex designs of two of the six stadiums: namely the Bolshoy Ice Dome, home to the Games' main ice hockey matches; and the similarly curvilinear yet distinctly ice crystal inspired Adler Skating Arena. The Adler Arena Skating Center (now the Adler Arena Trade and Exhibition Center) opened in 2012 as an 8,000-seat speed-skating oval. In plan though, this cool grey and white building is essentially a rectangle with rounded corners. Angled walls and triangular sections of glazing reinforce the building’s intentionally crystalline surface appearance. The $ 32.8 million building was designed by the Russian company Kuban Univer- sal Project and the international architectural and engineering firm Cannon Design, responsible for the Richmond Oval for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, designed its clean-lined interior, which housed two competition lanes as well as a training area.

  • Tokyo 2020 Is Ready, Are You? Ambush Marketing and the Law
    Tokyo 2020 is ready, are you? Ambush Marketing and the Law Introduction 2020 is set to be a whirlwind of international sporting highlights including the UK hosting UEFA Euro 2020 finals and of course, the always eagerly awaited Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Sporting hysteria will ensue amongst a torrent of marketing activity; such big events are invaluable for brand exposure and marketing stunts, but where is the line? We provide you with a guide to ambush marketing to help you promote your brand whilst keeping within the tracks of the law. Ambush Marketing – what is it? With no codified definition, people have differing views on the definition of ambush marketing. It can be used to describe any attempt to piggy-back on the public interest in an event without proper authorisation. Others will only use the term where marketing activities cross the line from being cheeky but legally acceptable to infringing legal rights. We’ll use the more expansive meaning of the term but will try to help you understand where the legal line is drawn. Ambush marketing is most closely associated with major sporting events but any event or occasion (from music festivals and TV shows, to the Oscars and royal weddings) can be targeted. Sports teams and individual celebrities are also often the subjects of ‘ambush’. Essentially anyone or anything that brands are keen to associate with and who would normally sell sponsorship or endorsement rights, will be vulnerable to ambushers who are trying to get similar benefits for free. For ease we’ll refer only to events, but the principles in this article generally apply to all.
