“ A form marketing in which a corporation pays for all of some of the costs associated with a project or program in exchange for recognition. Corporations may have their logos and brand names displayed alongside of the organization undertaking the project or program, with specific mention that the corporation has provided funding. Corporate sponsorships are commonly associated with nonprofit groups, who generally would not be able to fund operations and activities without outside financial assistance. It is not the same as philanthropy” http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/corporate-sponsorship.asp

 To generate a flow of fund .

 To develop sports mechanism .

 To create the stage for players where they can earn the money in short carrier .

 To use the sport event as a market .

 To increase the level of sports .

Impact of sports media in the world

Scientists know that an observer affects the outcome of an experiment. The media has a profound effect on sports in much the same manner. Golf is a fine example since tournament structure and coverage often resembles a celebrity event more than a sports competition.  The media affects salary structure:- Pervasive national marketing and exposure tends to make the pinnacle of any sport top heavy. Media focus on big league baseball provides more dollars to the top while robbing farm leagues of viewers and attendees. In baseball Double 'A' games go unattended while potential fans watch the Yankees on TV. The resulting salary disparity between a Triple 'A' player and even a mediocre Big League player is enormous and growing. National coverage is the reason.  The media affects how the game is played and officiated: - It can be argued that headlines encourage extravagant behavior both on and off the court. The monetary reward is high. Sports celebrities realize they make more money when they get their name in lights just like Paris Hilton and Madonna.

 Brings the status to the sportsmen :- The quest for headlines nurtures the natural fascination in everyone to witness a train wreck and turns. The NBA is often ridiculed for allowing superstars to travel and foul. Many basketball fans hate the NBA because its one-on-one exhibition of superstars is not the team game they know and love. Certainly a team sport dominated by superstars does not advance the sport. Recent American performance in the Olympics proves it..

 Brand image for the players :-

The fascinating trend is how often swings in officiating seem eerily sympathetic to requests from media commentators before the game. Unfortunately one team ends up struggling to adjust to the style of play

 The media affects what we learn about sports:- We are not being inundated with TV segments on the development of stellar team play. We're not going to hear much about a great basketball defender with morals. TV coverage of the elements of great teams is almost non-existent. The relationship between individual character and successful teams is less explored today than it was twenty years ago. We are definitely not learning how team sports contribute to character development from sports coverage.

The Financial Impact of Sponsorship As noticed earlier, many scholars proved that sponsorship may lead to increased financial performance using event study method.

In these studies, sponsor’s effort to contribute to make sport event successful would be converted to investor’s positive evaluation of that sponsor company in two ways.

On one hand, being an official sponsor can be accepted in terms of advertising as reliable appeal to consumers, investor and shareholders as well. Because we are living in the society flooded with mass advertising using mass media,

undifferentiated advertising has little effect on consumer purchase and stock market value. In this sense, sports sponsorship, as unique advertising, is expected to persuade the existing investor and shareholder to invest additionally to attract new investors to buy the stocks of the sponsoring company.

The relationship between sports sponsorship and firm value has been identified using data on Olympic and NASCR sponsors (Miyazaki and Morgan, 2001; Prut, Cornwell and Clark, 2004).

On the other hand, sponsoring company may enjoy the positive and socially responsible image from sports sponsorship.

Investors might have favorable impression to sponsoring company because they believe sponsors make much effort to facilitate sports all over the world and to provide scholarship for sports player.

Similarly, by sponsoring sports event, company may offer job opportunity to many sports player to continue to play on the ground or court under the stable financial environment.

Given this, sponsoring company can be accepted as good fellows that fully understand social responsibility, resulting in increased investment from investors. Therefore, sports sponsorship is expected to improve the financial value of sponsoring firm. The Effect of Brand Equity

 Olympic and NASCAR are potential opportunities to create positive brand image and to increase brand awareness,

 This consumer psychological mechanism can be applied to explain the relationship between sports sponsorship and improvement in financial performance. by whether brand equity is high or low.

The Effect of Sponsorship Fit

 National events:.
