FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS Working Paper Series Working Paper No. 2018-10 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE Franziska Prockl May 2018 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE. Franziska Prockl Paderborn University, Management Department, Chair of Organizational, Media and Sports Economics, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn. May 2018 Working Paper ABSTRACT The purpose of the presented research is to advance the superstar literature on the aspect of superstar’s characteristics and value. Typically, superstar research is faced with one problem: They apply the same criteria to determine who their superstars are as to describe them later because they lack “an objective measure of star quality” (Krueger, 2005, p.18). To avoid this complication, the author chose to study Major League Soccer’s (MLS) designated players as this setting present a unique, as discrete, assignment of star status. MLS has formally introduced stars in 2007 under the designated player (DP) rule which delivers over 100 star-observations in the last ten years to investigate MLS strategy of star employment. The insights from this data set demonstrate which characteristics are relevant, whether MLS stars can be categorized as Rosen or Adler stars, and what the MLS pays for and in this sense values most. A cluster analysis discovers a sub group of ten stars that stand out from the others, in this sense superstars. A two-stage regression model confirms the value stemming from popularity, leadership qualities, previous playing level, age and national team experience but refutes other typical performance indicators like games played and goals scored or position. -
The Impact of Designated Players in Major League Soccer
Superstar Salaries and Soccer Success: The Impact of Designated Players in Major League Soccer Dennis Coates Department of Economics University of Maryland, Baltimore County Bernd Frick Department of Management University of Paderborn Todd Jewell Department of Economics University of North Texas December 2012 Abstract This study estimates the relationship between production and salary structure in Major League Soccer (MLS), the highest level of professional soccer (association football) in North America. Soccer production, measured as league-points-per- game, is modeled as a function of a team’s total wage bill, the distribution of the team’s wage bill, and goals per game. Both the gini coefficient and the coefficient of variation are utilized to measure salary inequality. The results indicate that production in MLS is negatively responsive to increases in the salary inequality; this effect is consistently significant when using the coefficient of variation to measure dispersion. 1 I. Introduction Economic theory indicates that the distribution of salaries can affect the productivity of workers and firms. In the theory of tournaments, Lazear and Rosen (1981) discuss the possibility that greater salary inequality can lead to more worker effort and increased productivity. However, cohesion theory (Levine, 1991) implies firms may be able to increase the productivity of workers by equalizing salaries, since a more equal salary distribution will increase unity within the firm. The implication is that firms with more equal salary distributions will be more productive than similar firms with less equal salary structures. The present study attempts to shed light on the question of the connection between salary structure and productivity using professional sports data. -

THE MODERN FOOTBALLER I S S U E T H R E E a Get Football Group Publication - © 2020
THE MODERN FOOTBALLER I S S U E T H R E E A Get Football Group Publication - © 2020 INSIDE COVER EDITOR'S NOFeTrenc PEuskas, 1960s TALK of a European super league is nothing new. As early as 1964, legendary football writer Brian Glanville wrote a major article in World Soccer carrying the headline “Economic reality will force European League.” Speculation has intensified of late. In November 2018, Football Leaks published a document allegedly detailing a mooted 16 team breakaway division of Europe's biggest clubs, while The New York Times reported Real Madrid Florentino Pérez met with other club presidents to propose a 40 team, two tiered closed league system in December 2019. Just this month, Liverpool and Manchester United were reported as leading an initiative to reform the Premier League - feasibly a step towards a super league. In one respect, we already have a European Super League - it’s called the UEFA Champions’ League. Recently however, regardless of such proposed structural changes that would decimate Europe’s football pyramid for the financial benefit of a handful of club presidents, European football has sleep walked into the processes that would drive such a breakaway structure. AS Monaco and OGC Nice were pioneers. A production line was established as both clubs implemented a scouting network that trawled the world's most cost effective footballing backwaters. Those young players were nurtured in a league well-suited to the progression of burgeoning talent and then sold to the cash rich Premier League or elite clubs for a huge profit. It became their express aim to find, develop and - crucially - sell young footballers. -
A Public Relations Approach to Co-Creational Image Management in Professional Sport
A Public Relations Approach to Co-Creational Image Management in Professional Sport Michael Mark Dottori Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD in Human Kinetics (Sport Management) Human Kinetics Faculty of Health Sciences University of Ottawa © Michael Mark Dottori, Ottawa, Canada, 2018 PR APPROACH TO CO-CREATIONAL IM SPORT ii Abstract This dissertation investigated the influence of legitimacy and social media on organizational image management (IM) in North American professional sport. The author used a social theory approach to public relations in which legitimization is a core function, stakeholders influence the organization’s identity, and communicating identity is a legitimacy-seeking action that co-creationally drives organizational IM. This study examined the Ottawa Sport and Entertainment Group (OSEG), a conglomerate sport organization, using a qualitative embedded exploratory case study, which allowed analysis at different organizational levels, online and offline, using thematic and content analysis. The first two research questions explored the relationships between identity, image, and legitimacy in a social media world. The second two explored the explicit effects of social media on identity, legitimacy, image, and how these constructs manifest through social media. The first phase of the study used interview (N-52) and document (N-4) analyses to explore how identity, image, and legitimacy interact. Results showed that organizations’ legitimacy-seeking behaviour drives IM. The impetuous to change image comes from the outward facing legitimacy-seeking negotiation of image with external stakeholders. In phase two, using the legitimacy framework developed by Lock, Filo, Kunkel, and Skinner (2015), 5,668 tweets and retweets were coded, revealing 10 communicated image themes that sought technical, managerial, personal, and linkage legitimacy. -
