Rosell 910117 Sport science program 180hp Examiner: Torbjörn Andersson Sport Management Supervisors: Bo Carlsson and 2015-06-23 Gun Normark 2 Preface Growing up in segregated areas I discovered that sport is more than physical activity, it is a second language, enabling multicultural societies to converge. It is with this back- ground the CSR concept in sport appeals, how sport can give and ultimately be given something in return. Hopefully, this thesis will serve as organisational moderator for how CSR could be implemented and used in professional football clubs and leagues. Conclusively, I would like to thank my supervisors, Bo Carlsson and Gun Normark for providing me with guidance and expertise throughout the process. I would also like to thank my respondents, Mr. David Tenney and Filip Lundberg, for enabling an insight in the world of professional football organisations. Pleasant reading! _________________ Tim N.

The problem is finding an economic governance method compatible with the internal legislative system. Purpose: The purpose is to illuminate globalisation processes in foot- ball and investigate the concept of CSR in the context of Se- attle Sounders and Djurgården IF. Method: This thesis adopts a hermeneutical shoulder via a deductive approach. Thus, a literature review provides the basal under- standing of the subject and two case studies treat the theoret- ical framework. The two case studies, Djurgården IF and Se- attle Sounders, contextualise and treat the various concepts presented. Conclusion: Although Djurgården IF and Seattle Sounders have different challenges regarding legislations, organisational structures and capital, they recognise the importance of CSR. Further- more, the case studies showed that the notion of CSR is glo- calised and that Americanisation is not a one-way process. 4 Abstrakt Nyckelord: Globalisering, Amerikanisering, Europanisering, Glokali- sering och CSR Författare: Tim Nathanael Rosell Handledare: Bo Carlsson och Gun Normark Titel: CSR, Glokalisering och Fotboll – En jämförelse mellan ame- rikansk och svensk fotboll. Problem: I den begränsade svenska sport modellen söker klubbar att attrahera sponsorer, skapa intäkter och vinna fördelar över sina konkurrenter. Problemet är att hitta en ekonomistyr- ningsmetod kompatibel med det interna regelverket. Syfte: Syftet är att belysa gloaliseringsprocesser inom fotboll och undersöka CSR konceptet i kontexten av Seattle Sounders och Djurgården IF. Metod: Den här uppsatsen antar en hermeneutisk ansats via en de- duktiv tillvägagångssätt. Således ger litteraturgenomgången en grundläggande förståelse för ämnet, där två fallstudier behandlar det teoretiska ramverket. Fallstudierna med Djur- gården IF och Seattle Sounders kontextualiserar och behand- lar de diverse begrepp som presenteras. Slutsats: Även fast Djurgården IF och Seattle Sounders har olika ut- maningar gällande regelverk, organisatoriska strukturer och kapital medger de vikten av CSR. Vidare visar fallstudierna att CSR är glokaliserat och att amerikanisering inte är en en- vägs process. 5 Table of contents PREFACE ....................................................................................................................... 3 ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................... 4 ABSTRAKT .................................................................................................................... 5 TERMINOLOGY .............................................................................................................. 8 DEFINITIONS ................................................................................................................ 9 AMERICANISATION ........................................................................................................ 9 CSR ............................................................................................................................... 9 EUROPEANISATION ........................................................................................................ 9 GLOBALISATION ............................................................................................................ 9 GLOCALISATION ............................................................................................................ 9 MCDONALDISATION .................................................................................................... 10 1.

Federal Dr. Urbana, IL 61801 www.sagamorepublishing.com Dedication “To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it.” Herman Melville, my ancestor and author of the classic novel Moby Dick, has passed this advice forward to myself and the world in this quote. The dynamics of the sports environment have proven to be a very worthy topic and have provided a rich amount of material that investigates the actions, thoughts, and behaviors of people as they navigate their way through a social environment that we have come to know as sport. By avoiding the study of fleas, I have instead had to navigate the deep blue waters of research into finding the causes, roots, and solutions to a social problem that has become figuratively as large as the mythical Moby Dick that my great-great uncle was in search of.

  • International Guidelines for Sports in Sweden
    International guidelines for sports in Sweden International guidelines The Swedish Sports Confederation (RF) has been mandated to work with matters of common concern for the sports movement, both nationally and internationally (in accordance with Chapter 2 of RF’s Statutes). The task of the Swedish Sports Confederation in its international work is to represent the Swedish sports movement at an international level to create favourable conditions for sport in Sweden, and also to stimulate and in various ways support special sports federations (SF) in their international activities. This also means assisting through making its competence available with the aim of developing the sport internationally. The Swedish sports movement will exercise powerful international influence through coordination. These Guidelines are based on a belief in the sports movement as an international meeting place and bridge-builder between people. This is founded on the independence and impartiality of the sports movement. The sports movement has no party political or religious affiliations and can, in many cases, aid increased openness throughout the world. We have also observed at the same time that political leaders may sometimes exploit major sports competitions with ulterior motives. The position of the sports movement is that it should be possible for athletes to have whatever nationality, religion or political views they wish yet still participate on equal terms. It is then that sport’s potential as a meeting place is greatest. These International Guidelines set out fundamental standpoints for the international action of the Swedish sports movement. This requires each SF to apply the Guidelines in their international exchanges and participation.

  • Sport As a Context for Integration: Newly Arrived Immigrant Children in Sweden Drawing Sporting Experiences
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 18; October 2013 Sport as a Context for Integration: Newly Arrived Immigrant Children in Sweden Drawing Sporting Experiences Associate Professor Krister Hertting, PhD Luleå University of Technology Department of Arts, Communication and Education SE-971 87 Luleå Inger Karlefors, PhD Luleå University of Technology Department of Arts, Communication and Education SE-971 87 Luleå Abstract Sport is a global phenomenon, which can make sport an important arena for integration into new societies. However, sport is also an expression of national culture and identities. The aim of this study is to explore images and experiences that newly-arrived immigrant children in Sweden have about sport in their country of origin, and challenges that can arise in processes of integration through sport. We asked 20 newly arrived children aged 10 to 13 to make drawings about sporting experiences from their countries of origin. Three themes emerged: sport as feeling joy, where activities were performed with friends during leisure time; sport as acting formally, where activities were carried out in clubs; and sport as a spectator, where children were non-participants. We emphasise that development of sport should be two-way processes, where cultural learning should be mutual processes. Immigrant children’s experiences should be foregrounded when utilising and developing sports programmes. Keywords: sports for all, immigrant children, qualitative methods, phenomenology 1. Introduction Like many other countries, Sweden has become a multicultural society during the last few decades. Two million out of a population of nine million have immigrant backgrounds that represent more than 200 different cultures.

  • CSR in Swedish Football
    CSR in Swedish football A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan By: Lina Nilsson 2018-10-09 Supervisors: Marcus Box, Lars Vigerland and Erik Borg Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master Thesis 30 Credits Business Administration | Spring term 2018 ABSTRACT The question of companies’ social responsibility taking, called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has been widely debated in research since the 1900s. However, the research connecting CSR to sport was not started until the beginning of the 2000s, meaning that there are still many gaps in sport research that has to be filled. One such gap is research on CSR in a Swedish football context. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was firstly to examine how and why Swedish football clubs – organised as non-profit associations or sports corporations – work with CSR, and secondly whether or not there was a difference in the CSR work of the two organisational forms. A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan was carried out, examining the CSR work – meaning the CSR concept and activities, the motives for engaging in CSR and the role of the stakeholders – in detail. In addition, the CSR actions of all clubs of Allsvenskan were briefly investigated. The findings of the study showed that the four clubs of the multiple case study had focused their CSR concepts in different directions and performed different activities. As a consequence, they had developed different competences and competitive advantages. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the motives for engaging in CSR were a social agenda, pressure from stakeholders and financial motives.

  • 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.

The impact of managerial change on the performance of soccer teams – an event study of the two top tier Swedish divisions. (Under the direction of DR. CRAIG A. DEPKEN, II) This research examines the impact of managerial changes on Swedish soccer teams from the first and second Swedish soccer league. The research is conducted similar to an event study and regression analysis is employed to investigate the impact of the focus event, managerial changes. The variable of interest for the regression analysis is the odds to win a match. The study uses data for both Swedish leagues for the period from 2010 to 2016. The research finds a positive impact of managerial changes on the team performance in the short-term. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Craig A. Depken II for his continued investment and advice during the course of this research.
