  • Short Term and Long Term Motives for the Internationalization of Marathon Events
    Pamukkale Journal of Sport Sciences 2020 Vol. 11 No. 3, 01-19 ISSN: 1309-0356 accepted: 19.09.2020 Short term and long term motives for the internationalization of marathon events Zsolt Havran 1, Miklós Kozma 1, Tünde Máté 1, Ágnes Szabó 1, Krisztina András 1, Attila Kajos 1, Zoltán Kynsburg 1, Zygmunt Waskowski 2 1 Corvinus University of Budapest, 1093 Budapest, Fővám tér 8 2Poznan University of Economics and Business Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract The current study aims to answer the question of how the motives for internationalization of leisure sports companies can be understood through the example of international running events. We present the phenomenon of globalisation and internationalisation as a context of leisure sports, linking the conceptual frameworks of leisure sports and international business (IB). The paper highlights the characteristics of leisure sports companies in the process of internationalization. More specifically, we examined the global business trends of marathons, with particular attention of event organizers in the Central-Eastern European (CEE) region in our preparatory study. Data about experiences, entry fee, international communication and sponsorship were collected from the eight most significant CEE marathons and two semi-structured interviews were done with event organizers. Our main findings reveal that market seeking and strategic asset seeking motives are dominant in the case of CEE marathon organizers with a notable distinction between short term and long term perspectives. Keywords: internationalization, marathon, Central-Eastern Europe, leisure sports services, motives for internationalisation Pamukkale Journal of Sport Sciences Vol. XX, No. X; 2020 1 1.INTRODUCTION Sports, and in particular leisure sports, play an increasingly important role in society and at the same time, its economic impact is becoming more significant.

  • Research Into the Influence of Marathon on the Comprehensive Development of the Cities Holding Marathon
    [Type text] ISSN : [Type0974 -text] 7435 Volume 10[Type Issue text] 20 2014 BioTechnology An Indian Journal FULL PAPER BTAIJ, 10(20), 2014 [12255-12257] Research into the influence of marathon on the comprehensive development of the cities holding marathon Xuehua Zhou* Institute of Physical Education, Changchun Normal University, Changchun Jilin Province 130032, (CHINA) E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The cities holding Marathon in China are mostly in historically cultural famous cities and tourism cities famous both inside and outside China. According to the findings, Marathon exerts great influence on the development of cities: it may help to build healthy cities, activate the tourism industry of cities, improve the urban culture, effectively promote the nationwide body-building. Conclusions: Marathon held in cities is a social activity that may exert great influence on the cities and bring potential risks. KEYWORDS Marathon; Urban development; Tourism; Influence. © Trade Science Inc. 12256 Research into the influence of marathon on the comprehensive development BTAIJ, 10(20) 2014 PREFACE Sport has both features of social public welfare and commerce. Although in today's economic-oriented background, people are more passionate about discussing and pursuing the economic values of sports, however, in the sense of the origin of sports, social value is both the true origin and the true end. Different from other indoor sports including track and field, it may be positioned as a single sport, involving such stages as rules and procedures, competition organization, paths, voluntary services, logistics guarantee, sponsors, and TV relay operators and so on. The success of Beijing Marathon not only requires the efforts of competition judges, volunteers, and a lot of staffs, both also requires the joint efforts of such units as government, traffic and medical facilities, which increases the difficulty in the operation of games.
