The thesis is a multiple case study of Olympia and Helsingborg Arena in Helsingborg city. Both arenas are built and owned by the municipality and are used for sports and entertainment purposes of various themes. The main stakeholders that have been part of the thesis are the Helsingborg municipality administration of School and Leisure administration (responsible of green surfaces at the arenas), HASAB (a municipally owned corporation that manages Helsingborg Arena), HISO (organization of local sport clubs in Helsingborg) and FC Helsingborg (an elite floorball club playing and training at Helsingborg Arena). For this study, a stakeholder model has been applied together with theoretical concepts of utilization, localization and efficiency & productivity to create a theoretical framework. This case study is a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews with key informants. Moreover, secondary data in reports and on websites connected to the different stakeholders have been analyzed and presented. Representatives have been interviewed from each organization and stakeholder in order to understand their view and perspective on usability with regard to Helsingborg Arena and Olympia. The results of this study presents an understanding that modern and new arenas create opportunities for more clubs to use advanced and better equipped venues for their activities and offers usability for other purposes than just sport-related activities. However, the results in this study shows us also that building new, modern sport arenas does not necessarily result in satisfactory usability for all actors. According to the results, the local clubs and schools tend to look for other sport venues due to the fact that they have to reschedule and change the venue for their activities when larger events occupy the arena. This leads to lower attractiveness for some stakeholders, which affects the usability of the arena. However, arenas of a high level increase attractiveness for producers and organizations to use the arenas for their products and competitions. Localization plays a decisive role for the accessibility of the sport arenas and creates a large sports oasis in the central of Helsingborg offering more than five sport halls at the same area. Keywords: usability, sport arenas, stakeholders, activity, accessibility, priority 6 Introduction In the last decades, there has been a boom in building and reconstruction of sports arenas, especially football arenas (Svensk elitfotboll, 2015). Building and reconstruction of arenas requires large investments and there are usually many stakeholders involved in the procedure, such as municipalities financed by the public by tax money (Coates & Humphfreys, 2003), but also sports organizations and private companies. Arenas are an interest for global companies and part of the globalization. English football arenas now have the name of Gulf- based corporate sponsors including the the Etihad Stadium of Manchester City and Emirates stadium of Arsenal, both sponsored by airlines beckoning European travelers to UAE as a tourist destination (Houlihan & Malcolm, 2015). Different types of stakeholders can have different visions and aims with regard to arena-projects and the usage of arenas. In Scandinavia, there is a high degree of state involvement concerning in the field of sport this is manifested by extensive government support to voluntary organizations in form of subsidies and publicly financed sport arenas and facilities (Bergsgrad & Norberg, 2010). When building new arenas, it is important to discuss the usage of the arena and and how society, the city and the sports community will benefit from it. Even though the building of the arenas may cause an economic deficit, the arenas can create values to the city and its citizens that make the investments worthwhile in the long run. There are many opportunities that arise with building an arena in a city. Often the arena can be an attraction for visitors and become a landmark and part of an identity for the city (Andersson, 2011). It can increase the amounts of events in the city (Greenwell, Danzey- Bussell & Shonk, 2020) and offer multiple indoor & outdoor sport halls for many different stakeholders such as sport clubs, schools and other sport related organizations. Modern sports arenas help to increase sports tourism globally which has become a phenomenon in itself (Greenwell, Danzey-Bussell & Shonk, 2020). Sport arenas and facilities are developed because they are competing for events with many other organizations and arenas (Greenwell, Danzey-Bussell & Shonk, 2020). At the same time, there are many providers such as municipal sport arena and facility providers, professional sport teams that would not see themselves as part of the sport tourism sector nor the tourism industry (Houlihan & Malcolm, 2015). These modern arenas can also be used for non-sport related events such as musical events and can thus reach out to other audiences as well which can be 7 seen as an income generator by the arena owners. It can also provide services to the local sport clubs that are not profit generators for the owners of the arenas. The construction of arenas requires strategies and plans for how the arenas shall be used once it is completed and what else can it be used for except sport events? Constructions of arenas for major sport events, i.eg. World Cup in football, costs billions of dollars (Coates & Humphreys, 2003; Alm, Tofft-Jorgensen, Brandt & Bang, 2012). When the event is over and the arena will not host any major events, large concerns arises due to the utilization of the arenas are not high enough and the expenses causes economic problems for arena owners (Alm, Tofft-Jorgensen, Brandt & Bang, 2012). This study will challenge the ideas of usability of sport arenas by creating an understanding of how different stakeholders, such as municipalities and owners of an arena and sport clubs and organizations that are using and the arenas, reflects regarding usability and what values they see when operating an arena. To understand the phenomenon of usability, it is important to analyze the participants (stakeholders) perspectives of usability and values of arenas. This study will also explore what opportunities and problems can be created with new and modern arenas and furthermore, provide ideas of what different stakeholders think of when making a decision to construct an arena, with regard to other stakeholders’ visions on values and usability of arenas. 8 Research aim and questions The aim of this study is to analyze, discuss and problematize the usability and localization of sport arenas and the values arenas provide for different stakeholders. The study is a multiple case study with focus on two big arenas in the city of Helsingborg – Olympia and Helsingborg Arena. The study consists of three main research questions: Research Question #1: What are are the arenas used for? This question relates to the understanding of in what ways the arenas are used and operated. Research Questions #2: How does the stakeholders reflect regarding the localization of the arenas? The aspect of the question is how the planning and localization of an arena affects the functionality of arenas. Research Questions #3: What values do the arenas bring to different stakeholders? This question relates to different

  • CSR in Swedish Football
    CSR in Swedish football A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan By: Lina Nilsson 2018-10-09 Supervisors: Marcus Box, Lars Vigerland and Erik Borg Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master Thesis 30 Credits Business Administration | Spring term 2018 ABSTRACT The question of companies’ social responsibility taking, called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has been widely debated in research since the 1900s. However, the research connecting CSR to sport was not started until the beginning of the 2000s, meaning that there are still many gaps in sport research that has to be filled. One such gap is research on CSR in a Swedish football context. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was firstly to examine how and why Swedish football clubs – organised as non-profit associations or sports corporations – work with CSR, and secondly whether or not there was a difference in the CSR work of the two organisational forms. A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan was carried out, examining the CSR work – meaning the CSR concept and activities, the motives for engaging in CSR and the role of the stakeholders – in detail. In addition, the CSR actions of all clubs of Allsvenskan were briefly investigated. The findings of the study showed that the four clubs of the multiple case study had focused their CSR concepts in different directions and performed different activities. As a consequence, they had developed different competences and competitive advantages. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the motives for engaging in CSR were a social agenda, pressure from stakeholders and financial motives.

  • Scandinavian Women's Football Goes Global – a Cross-National Study Of
    Scandinavian women’s football goes global – A cross-national study of sport labour migration as challenge and opportunity for Nordic civil society Project relevance Women‟s football stands out as an important subject for sports studies as well as social sciences for various reasons. First of all women‟s football is an important social phenomenon that has seen steady growth in all Nordic countries.1 Historically, the Scandinavian countries have been pioneers for women‟s football, and today Scandinavia forms a centre for women‟s football globally.2 During the last decades an increasing number of female players from various countries have migrated to Scandinavian football clubs. Secondly the novel development of immigration into Scandinavian women‟s football is an intriguing example of the ways in which processes of globalization, professionalization and commercialization provide new challenges and opportunities for the Nordic civil society model of sports. According to this model sports are organised in local clubs, driven by volunteers, and built on ideals such as contributing to social cohesion in society.3 The question is now whether this civil society model is simply disappearing, or there are interesting lessons to be drawn from the ways in which local football clubs enter the global market, combine voluntarism and professionalism, idealism and commercialism and integrate new groups in the clubs? Thirdly, even if migrant players stay only temporarily in Scandinavian women‟s football clubs, their stay can create new challenges with regard to their integration into Nordic civil society. For participants, fans and politicians alike, sport appears to have an important role to play in the success or failure of the integration of migrant groups.4 Unsuccessful integration of foreign players can lead to xenophobic feelings, where the „foreigner‟ is seen as an intruder that pollutes the close social cohesion on a sports team or in a club.

Vår manager och gode vän Klas Ingesson förde en ojämn kamp mot cancern och han lämnade oss i stor sorg och saknad den 29 oktober. Det var för oss i IF Elfsborg en väldigt stor förmån att få jobba med Klas under ett antal år. Hans fighting spirit, energi och starka vilja var egenskaper som aldrig ens sjukdomen rådde på. Vi kommer att bära med oss Klas insatser och personlighet i IF Elfsborg under många år framöver. Sportsligt blev året ett bra år med cupsegern som kronan på verket. Vi lyckades också förbättra vårt resultat i allsvenskan där vi slutade på en fjärde plats, vilket innebar ännu en medalj och samtidigt en hygglig chans till Europaspel 2015. Att klara av att nå en topplace- ring och en cupseger samtidigt som vi genomförde en stor omställ- ning av våra kostnader visste vi skulle bli en utmaning när vi gick in i 2014. Att vi lyckades med det känner jag stor stolthet och ödmjukhet inför. Att klara av att bromsa kostnader och samtidigt flytta fram positionerna när det gäller prestation är ett bevis på den starka kul- tur som finns i IF Elfsborg och är ett mycket gott betyg till samtliga medarbetare, spelare och ideellt arbetande. Att ha en sund ekonomi är fundamentalt viktigt i en elitidrottsför- ening och det är det som gör det möjligt för oss att fortsätta satsa.

The country’s technology-heavy industries and tech-savvy culture have led Swedish PR agencies to quickly adopt online tools in campaigns for clients. And that has, in turn, enabled Swedish PR practitioners to move ahead of their European competitors in online sophistication. In fact, Sweden is so interested in social media and building an online community that the country’s Twitter feed was lauded in a New York Times article. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/11/world/europe/many-voices-of-sweden-via-twitter.html?_r=1 A different citizen, ranging from 16 to 60 years old, manages Sweden’s official Twitter handle, @Sweden, each week. The program, called Curators of Sweden, was created to present the country to the rest of the world on Twitter. It shows how Swedish citizens embrace technology and online communities, using them to reach out to all parts of the globe. However, like many people who practice public relations today, Swedish practitioners struggle to find the best ways to measure the impact of their work.

Malmö högskola Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera supporterkulturerna hos Helsingborgs IF och Landskrona BoIS samt att göra en jämförelse dem emellan med utgångspunkt från de uppfattningar som finns angående städerna och lagens supportrar. Avsikten var att behandla hela supporterkulturen och även alla ”vanliga” åskådare på arenorna. Därför genomfördes en enkätundersökning bland åskådarna på en hemmamatch för vartdera laget. Publiken på båda matcherna hade överlag en god ekonomi. Helsingborgs IF hade det vidaste upptagningsområdet. De kvinnliga åskådarna på Landskrona BoIS hemmamatch var en intressant grupp. Rivaliteten klubbarna emellan var tydligast hos Landskrona BoIS supportrar. Nyckelord: fotboll, Helsingborgs IF, Landskrona BoIS, supporterkultur Summary The purpose of this essay was to study the supporter cultures of Helsingborgs IF and Landskrona BoIS and to make a comparison between them with basis of the apprehensions that exists concerning the towns and the teams supporters. The intension was to consider the whole supporter culture and also all “regular” spectators at the arenas. Therefore an opinion poll among the spectators was realised at a home match of each team. The attendance at both matches had generally a good financial position. Helsingborgs IF had the widest catchment area. The female spectators at Landskrona BoIS’s home game were an interesting group.
