  • 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.

Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Funding for this research was provided in part by Harvard Business School. MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.

    Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to understand the concept of brand image in the context of the best tournament of professional football in Denmark - Alka Superliga. Kotler (2001) states that brand image can be defined as: “The set of beliefs, ideas and impressions that a person holds regarding an object” (p. 273), and this view have led to an examination of the image of the Alka Superliga. However, during our research in the theoretical framework of a brand image, we learned that the statement by Kotler (2001) needed to be unfolded further to incorporate a two-sided aspect of the concept. We argue that one side of the notion is to reveal the desired image of the brand through Divisionsforeningen’ set of beliefs, ideas and impressions expressed in their positioning and the associations they want to connect with the brand. Simultaneously, we discover the brand from the perspective of the perceived set of beliefs, ideas and impression reflected in the associations held by the consumers. This emphasize that the definition of the brand image of Alka Superliga is to be interpreted from a perspective related to the Divisionsforeningen and a perspective related to the consumers. In order for define the brand image of Alka Superliga we divide the thesis in two parts: One part focusing on the perspective of Divisionsforeningen conceptualized as Desired Brand Image and another focusing on the perspective of consumers conceptualized as Perceived Brand Image. Dividing the thesis in terms of the desired and the perceived brand image implied that the empiricism of the thesis should treat both perspectives emphasizing that different Qualitative and Quantitative empirical collection techniQues is applied.

  • Social Data in the Business of Sports
    MASTER’S THESIS: SOCIAL DATA IN THE BUSINESS OF SPORTS Student: Linda Camilla Boldt CPR-nr.: Supervisor: Professor Ravi Vatrapu, Department of IT Management Programme: Cand.merc. Management of Innovation and Business Development Minor: Data in Business University: Copenhagen Business School Submission date: May 17, 2016 STU: 180.360 Pages: 79 Abstract The omnipresence of social media provides sports organizations with the opportunity to interact with fans, and potentially strengthen fan loyalty and business performance. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate current social media managerial practices in the Danish Superliga football clubs. In order to do that, I set up a research framework based on theory, and conducted a case study of the clubs through a triangulation methodology, employing Kozinets’ (2002) netnographic study, Big Social Data Analytics, and semi-structured in-depth interviews with social media managers. The study contributes to the emerging literature on the use of social media in sports by exploring the use of leading social media platforms by all clubs in the Danish Superliga. Findings demonstrate that the clubs have embraced social media for a number of organizational functions, and uncover how the clubs use the social media channels to stimulate interaction, thereby, likewise to former studies, establishing social media as an effective vehicle for sports organizations to engage with fans. The insights offer implications for sports managers seeking to maintain or enhance their fans’ identification with the club. Furthermore, the study explores how and to what extent the clubs engage in social media analytics. Results indicate that some of clubs have analytical processes related to social media; however, they are on an initial stage in extracting business value.

  • Football Sponsorships
    FOOTBALL SPONSORSHIPS Master in Marketing Frederik Bastian Schoop Football Sponsorship Market: Danish perspective. Supervisor: Daniela Langaro ISCTE Business School, Phd Departamento de Marketing, Operações e Gestão Geral September 2016 Acknowledgements I want to thank Amanda for her unconditional support. Furthermore, I appreciate the support given from family and friends, and especially I want to thank Daniela Langaro, and all who took time for interviews and surveys, I couldn’t have done it without you! i ii Abstract The purpose of this project was to investigate and analyse the Danish football sponsorship market. In doing so, existing theory was explored regarding motives associated to sponsorship in sports, criteria for sponsorship evaluation and measurement and the influence of fans regarding sponsorships. In the following phase, data were collected among sponsors, football clubs and football related external companies. The findings were analysed in order to examine how the Danish football sponsorship market relates to the explored theory. Envisioning to obtain a solid data collection, in-depth interviews were conducted with 7 persons from 6 football clubs and with 2 football related external companies and an online survey was sent to 39 companies located in Denmark (27 valid responses were obtained). The results obtained support the literature in various aspects, However, some important discrepancy is identified concerning two topics, namely: Sponsorships motives, where football clubs and football related external companies describe the importance of networking with other companies, as a key motive for driving sponsorship decisions and the limited evaluation and measurement approaches used in sponsorships, with individuals´ gut feeling being the method most commonly adopted to evaluate results.

  • The New Executive Committee Professional Football Strategy
    3.07 The new Executive Committee 03 Professional Football Strategy Forum 06 53rd UEFA member association 07 Referees train in Rome 11 No 59 – March 2007 No 58 – Février 2007 59 March Message Photos: UEFA-pjwoods.ch of the president The role of a coach Although my election as president of UEFA in some ways stirred up the same emotions as I experienced when I won major trophies as a player, my new role is more that of a coach, in the true sense of the word. My aim is to convince the leaders of European football to share my vision of football. It has been said that my vision of football is romantic or idealistic, but I believe that, in the long term, it is the right way to ensure the survival of our game and maintain its extraordinary popularity. We should not be seeking instant reward and selling our “products” to the highest bidder, but making sure that our competitions have as wide an appeal as possible and doing everything we can to ensure that they are attractive both in terms of the quality of play and results that are not a foregone conclusion. Of course, football needs money. It needs it to improve the education of coaches and, through them, the skill of players. It needs money to improve its facilities, to offer players the best possible conditions and spectators a safe and comfortable environment. It also needs money to develop grassroots football and to fulfil its social responsibilities by contributing to youth education. IN THIS ISSUE On the other hand, football has no use for profiteers, for people who, seeing how successful football is as a business, get involved for their own personal gain.
