    The Newspaper As a Vehicle for Fan Participation in Fiji Rugby Union

    34 The Journal of Pacific Studies, Volume 40 Issue 1, 2020 The Newspaper as a Vehicle for Fan Participation in Fiji Rugby Union https://doi.org/10.33318/jpacs.2020.40(1)-2 Jeremy Dorovolomo1 and Aue Te Ava2 Abstract Through the analysis of “Letters to the Editor” in The Fiji Times, this study aimed to uncover the opinions of fans on the management of Fiji Rugby Union (FRU). The study found the importance of letter writers’ opinions in advocating visionary-driven strategic and policy postures that are continually being assessed and benchmarked with other unions. Findings also encapsulated matters related to coach and team selection, reward systems, purposeful marketing – particularly of women’s rugby – and a proactive financial environment that are focused towards improved FRU team performances. Rugby Union being the national sport of Fiji, fans consistently demand improved and winning performances from its team. A gold medal at the Rio Olympics was the pinnacle of fans’ aspirations in Rugby sevens. In the fifteens code, with increasing numbers of Fijian professional rugby players, fans also expect higher performances than they do now. The study also found the debate and argument about keeping the Fjian flair of rugby and its cibi, the pre-game war dance, both crucial to giving the team its trademark. Keywords: Fan participation; Fiji Rugby Union; Vision; Strategic Planning; Cibi; Women’s Rugby 1 School of Education, The University of the South Pacific, Fiji, email: [email protected] 2 School of Education, The University of the South Pacific, Fiji The Journal of Pacific Studies, Volume 40 Issue 1, 2020 35 Introduction Rugby was introduced to Fiji in 1884 by foreign soldiers and policemen (Rika et al., 2016).

    Moving towards a Culture of Strategic Management in Fiji:- the case of Fiji Rugby Faculté des sciences de la motricité, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgique MASTER EXECUTIF EN MANAGEMENT DES ORGANISATIONS SPORTIVES EXECUTIVE MASTERS IN SPORTS ORGANISATION MANAGEMENT MEMOS XVII 2013-2014 Moving towards a Culture of Strategic Management in Fiji: the case of Fiji Rugby Vers une culture de Strategie d’Entreprise à Fidji: Étude de cas sur Fiji Rugby By Carl Rangituatata Ngamoki-Cameron © 2014 Tutored by Professor Leigh Robinson Affiliation of Tutor ABSTRACT Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to set out research that aimed to understand how Fiji’s Olympic Sport Organisations (“OSOs”) could move towards a culture of strategic management. Methodology – Quantitative research was carried out on Fiji’s OSOs using the readiness assessment tool developed by Minikin (2009) and qualitative research into the Fiji Rugby Union (“FRU or Fiji Rugby”) that included semi- structured interviews, the review of several documents and participant observations. Findings – The quantitative research on Fiji’s OSOs found that: (1) there is a need for strategic management to improve accountability, transparency and competitiveness; and, (2) governance is of a basic to moderate level of development, however, organisational performance is not being adequately evaluated or monitored, if at all, and that generally the practice of strategic leadership and strategic planning is below the Sport Industry Benchmark. The case study of the FRU found that the FRU Strategic Plan was not fit for its purpose; discussed the vision, values and strategic objectives of the FRU; and, proposed a methodology for revising the FRU Strategic Plan.
