Bheki Hlabane Bheki Hlabane Title: The Political, Economic And Social Impact Of Hosting Mega-Sports Events: The 2010 South Africa World Cup In Comparative Perspective PhD Thesis submitted to: Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU). Asia Pacific Studies (APS) 2012 Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my supervisor, Prof Jeremy Eades, whose support and guidance has served as a pillar of strength and encouragement throughout my studies. His approach and positive attitude had been the key in helping me develop a better understanding of the issues. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Prof Malcolm Cooper for giving direction throughout my fieldwork process. Further acknowledgements are due to the South African Tourism office in Japan and the South African Embassy in Japan. Both have made a significant contribution in my PhD studies in Japan. The chance to have such an exciting and educational research experience would not have been possible without the quality of programs offered at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. In addition, the University helped me with material support, technical support and in participation in student life. They say life is a journey. I guess that is also true with studying towards a PhD degree. The experience I have gained throughout my studies at APU will be significant as my life moves forward. To date, I have managed to publish two papers/articles. The first one has been published with the Ritsumeikan Journal (RJAPS), Volume 28 in 2010 and titled Sociology of Sports mega-events, Tourism Perspective. The second one is published in The International Journal of Sport and Society, volume 1.Issue 4, titled Sociology of Sports Mega –Events: Sports Diplomacy and FIFA World Cup; ‘Global Peace Building Initiative. Bheki Hlabane 1 Abstract Hosting sports mega-events like the FIFA World Cup or the Olympics Games has became a significant economic strategy for nation states. Convinced by studies suggesting positive economic benefits from hosting these events, nations compete vigorously for the right to host them. The pursuit for hosting sports mega-events is influenced by suggestions that nations can use them to boost their tourism sector, develop infrastructure, establish a national brand, expand their domestic sponsorship markets, and encourage foreign investment. But what impact do these events have on host nations? Do developed and developing nations approach hosting mega-events in the same way? Could the soft power of sports be used to achieve diplomatic objectives? What impact do sports mega-events have on a host nation's competitive advantage? What is the relationship between corporate sponsorships and sports mega-events? What is the impact of ambush marketing in sports events? In an attempt to provide answers to some of these questions, the thesis will present a comparative analysis of the FIFA World Cup co-hosted by Japan and Korea in 2002 and the 2010 South Africa World Cup. The main idea is to highlight the similarities and differences between the two World Cups in terms of the way they were approached, prepared and the impact they had on their respective nations. The discussion will apply conflict theory and the analysis of costs and benefits to analyze the political, economic and cultural impact of the two World Cups. This thesis will show that the success of hosting a sports mega-event depends heavily on the cooperation and interplay between different sectors of society that perform different functions on the international, regional and national levels. 2 Contents Chapter 1------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12 Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12 Summary of the thesis----------------------------------------------------------------------------13 Scope of the research-----------------------------------------------------------------------------13 Research Questions-------------------------------------------------------------------------------14 Thesis structure------------------------------------------------------------------------------------16 Research Methodology--------------------------------------------------------------------------20 Primary and Secondary Sources-----------------------------------------------------------------20 The Qualitative Approach: Action Research method-----------------------------------------21 Theoretical Framework-------------------------------------------------------------------------22 The foundations of conflict theory--------------------------------------------------------------22 Sport, politics and society------------------------------------------------------------------------24 Cultural theory of sports-------------------------------------------------------------------------28 Literature review--------------------------------------------------------------------------------30 Sociological research of sports mega-events--------------------------------------------------30 Defining Mega-events----------------------------------------------------------------------------32 Impact Studies of Sports mega-events----------------------------------------------------------35 Outlining the `positive versus negative `impact debate --------------------------------35 3 The economic impact: Identifying the long term and short-term benefits-----------38 The political impact of sports and mega-events-----------------------------------------40 The cultural impact: The Intangible benefits--------------------------------------------44 Conclusion-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------45 Chapter 2------------------------------------------------------------------------------------49 Sports Diplomacy and FIFA World Cup;

    El papel del logotipo como elemento evocador de una personalidad de marca Item Type info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis Authors Lindo Noriega, Patricia Publisher Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) Rights info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Download date 27/09/2021 05:32:42 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10757/576106 CAPÍTULO 1 LOS MUNDOS EXISTENTES EN UN LOGOTIPO Si uno no sabe historia, no sabe nada: es como ser una hoja y no saber que forma parte del árbol. Michael Crichton. Los logotipos son elementos que se engranan dentro de un gigantesco sistema que incluye símbolos, signos y significados distintos. Más allá del marketing y las marcas, hoy estos elementos forman parte de la vida diaria y de la cultura. En consecuencia, el entendimiento de su importancia y significado es fundamental para cualquier profesional inmerso en el campo de las comunicaciones. El presente capítulo desarrolla un marco teórico con el fin de establecer un punto de partida que permita la comprensión de las teorías y conceptos generados a través del tiempo sobre el papel del logotipo y su poder en los diferentes ámbitos relacionados con la identidad de una marca, su personalidad y sus consumidores. Como primer punto, se exponen las nociones básicas acerca de la definición del logotipo: concepto, clases, principales funciones y características, el proceso de creación gráfica y sus diferentes aplicaciones prácticas. Luego, se desarrolla un análisis de este elemento a través de la historia: su origen y proceso de evolución, desde los inicios de la humanidad hasta la actualidad. Por último, se describe su inserción dentro del escenario planteado por el marketing; así como su relación con la evocación de la personalidad y la identidad de una marca y de sus consumidores.

    The impact of supporter experience at the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium on The Sharks brand By Robyn Wheeler (15017776) Research Methodology Subject code: RESM8419 Supervisor: Gareth Gray Honours in the Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Brand Communications Word count: 11754 words I hereby declare that the Research Report submitter for the Honors in Strategic Brand Communication degree to The Independent Institute of Education is my own work and has not previously been submitted to another University or Higher Education Institution for degree purposes. Abstract 1 This small-scaled study reviewed supporters experiences within a sports stadium and their impact on a brand. The research specifically is centred around The Sharks brand and the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium, the home stadium of The Sharks rugby team. Rugby is a competitive sport that participates within South Africa’s heritage. This generated from the existence and the attendance to the home stadium of The Sharks. Attenders to the stadium have been declining due to supporters reducing their purchases of the stadium tickets. This study reviews themes that are common to sport stadiums that have suffered within similar scenarios. The information gathered in this study was accumulated through a qualitative approach. This would allow for flexibility of revealing deep insights during the entire primary research. The methodology of research performed involved focus groups and an online survey. The insights received from this, directed meaningful findings and recommendations that aspires to assist The Sharks by providing useful data to increase attenders to the stadium. It was concluded through the research that supporters do not value the stadium experience.

  • Capital Expenditure Project Listing
    CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROJECT LISTING 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2016 NEDBANK GROUP ECONOMIC UNIT 07 February 2017 NOTES: Definition: The schedule is a listing of capital projects announced in the Republic of South Africa. It includes: Only projects valued at R20 million or more. Projects of an expansionary nature, i.e. capex which allows for an increase in the level of output, rather than pure replacement investment which involves the replacement of worn-out or outdated capital goods necessary for the continued operation and the maintenance of current output levels. The exceptions are: investment in equipment or machinery which reduces the harmful effects of pollution, and technological upgrading of equipment and machinery. Projects funded by both the private and public sectors. Projects reflecting direct foreign involvement. The listing is compiled on a sectoral basis, conforming to the Standard Industrial Classification. Limitations: Any analysis of the data needs to take account of the limitations outlined below: The schedule highlights significant areas of investment expenditure and not the absolute total value of all capital investment undertaken in the country. It serves as a rough guide to the general direction in which investment is moving and as an indication of the level of confidence in the economy. The full extent of replacement capital expenditure is not captured as mainly expansionary capital expenditure are published and recorded. In certain sectors a reliable indication of investment activity is not possible as typical investments are not large enough to be included in the schedule, even though the total capital expenditure in the sector may be substantial.

    ICONOGRAFÍA DE LA VICTORIA EN LA ESTRATEGIA COMUNICATIVA DE NIKE Iconography of the Victory in Nike’s Communication Strategy Grado en Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas Trabajo Final de Grado Modalidad A Autora: Marta Taboada Campos Tutor: José Antonio Palao Errando Fecha: 24/05/2017 ICONOGRAFÍA DE LA VICTORIA EN LA ESTRATEGIA COMUNICATIVA DE NIKE RESUMEN Y PALABRAS CLAVE Resumen: Este trabajo propone desvelar la estrategia creativa de Nike, indagando en un aspecto concreto de la misma: la representación visual del mito de la Victoria. A través del análisis iconográfico de sus representaciones visuales durante los últimos 30 años (1985-2015) y de la división cronológica de las etapas clave de su historia publicitaria, hemos llevado a cabo una lectura analítica de su discurso. Dicho análisis ha servido para extrapolar un modelo estratégico válido centrado en el análisis iconográfico. Nike ha mantenido una misma línea estratégica basada en la victoria personal de sus consumidores, instaurando así un estilo y un tono representativos de su identidad corporativa. En primer lugar, Nike fue pionero en el sector de la moda deportiva en utilizar el storytelling como método creativo. La marca entendió la complejidad y la competitividad del mercado y llevó sus productos no sólo al terreno atlético, sino a todo tipo de targets, a través de un discurso social. Este fue el gran logro comunicativo de Nike: transmitir a los consumidores que todo aquel que lo ansíe, puede llegar a ser un gran atleta. En segundo lugar, Nike entendió los comportamientos que se crean alrededor del universo deportivo y de aquellos que lo practican.
