  • Awareness of Sport Sponsorship in New Zealand: a Multi-Context Approach
    Awareness of Sport Sponsorship in New Zealand: A Multi-Context Approach Javeed Ali MBus 2016 Awareness of Sport Sponsorship in New Zealand: A Multi-Context Approach Javeed Ali A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business 2016 Faculty of Business and Law Auckland University of Technology ii Abstract This study is an exploration of sponsor awareness, including its antecedents and outcomes. Five research questions were explored in the context of three professional sports franchises in Auckland, New Zealand. More specifically, the aim was to explore (i) sponsor awareness within the contexts of three elite sport franchises; (ii) any sponsor awareness differences across the three contexts; (iii) any attitude or behaviour differences between full members and non-full members (iv) any attitude or behaviour differences between males and females; and (v) the relationships amongst loyalty, awareness, attitudes and intentions. Two focal sponsors (Barfoot & Thompson for the Blues as well as the Northern Mystics contexts and Suzuki in the New Zealand Warriors context) were associated with the measurement of attitudes towards the sponsor and sponsor purchase intentions. Across the three contexts, 495 questionnaire respondents took part in this quantitative study. Of the 495 respondents, 303 were classified as full- members (members who have access to all home games) and the remaining were identified as non-full members (other members or fans of the team) of each of the three franchises. The sample was obtained via an electronic questionnaire disseminated using the email database of each of the three franchises.

  • Sports Newsletter May 2021
    Sports Newsletter May 2021 Now that winter sports are underway, many of us are involved in the weekly grind of training and playing, and we probably have goals related to how this season or upcoming tournaments will go. Ultimately we all want to get better and achieve our goals or at least work successfully towards them. But how can we do it? James Clear approaches getting better in his book, 'Atomic Habits'. He believes in the importance of a system (and habits) over goals. As a player, your goal might be to make a certain team, start in a position or shoot a certain percentage. Regardless of what it is, your system (and habits) might be to shoot 50 shots a day, turn up to every training on time or ask for feedback each week. James then asks this question: if you completely ignored your goals and focused only on your system and habits, would you still succeed? Probably. But what if you had the goal but no system or habits? If we believe in this, then we see the importance of creating habits for ourselves; habits that feed and reinforce who we want to be. To create a habit, James shares 3 key steps. 1) Make your habit easy to start each day. If it is hard to start, then it won't happen often enough. What if I leave a ball by the front door and so every day when I come home, I can simply pick it up and go shoot some shots or practice juggling straight away? 2) To begin with, make the habit easy.

The lockdowns that followed had a dramatic impact on both grassroots and elite netball. As we approach the opening of the 2021 season, we acknowledge that uncertainty remains and we will need to be flexible and agile throughout the year. Following the decision by Government to move New Zealand to a level four lockdown on 25 March 2020, we took early and decisive action to reduce all expenditure to protect our organisation. This included a reduction of staff wages for a period of time. We would like to formally thank and acknowledge our dedicated staff for agreeing to these changes while at the same time continuing to service the needs of the Centres and wider netball community. With the release of the Netball NZ Poipoia Strategy and a drive to ensure we add value, we took the opportunity to refresh and refocus our plan. Our stated purpose is to “grow and strengthen netball”. We do this by: - Supporting and developing netball centres capability, skills and knowledge - Supporting the development and implementation of national programmes - Advocating for netball on behalf of our members to funders, council, regional sports trusts and others to ensure our voice is heard.
