  • Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events -The Internationalization of Göteborgsvarvet Half Marathon
    Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events -the internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet Half marathon Jenny Cheng and Hanna Sundell Graduate School Master of Science in International Business and Trade Master Degree Project No. 2011:12 Supervisor: Harald Dolles Abstract Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events - The Internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet Half Marathon Jenny Cheng and Hanna Sundell Supervisor: Harald Dolles Sports events are becoming increasingly globally important in social and economic terms. The number of people traveling abroad aiming to participate in those events has strongly increased in recent years. However, in the world‘s largest half marathon - the ‗GöteborgsVarvet‘ - held annually in Gothenburg, Sweden, the rate of foreign participants is still relatively low. Although a wide range of studies have been conducted within sports and event management, the attention towards developing an internationalization strategy for such kind of events is relatively low. The aim of the thesis is to fill this gap, by analyzing the case of GöteborgsVarvet and developing possible foreign market entry modes. The modes discussed in the thesis rank from cooperative forms, e.g. joint venture and marketing alliances, to wholly owned modes, like sales outlets and qualification races. The survey is based on qualitative and quantitative data. The results indicate that, in addition to choosing a foreign market entry mode that fits the specific event, there needs to be a close fit between destination and event in order to be able to attract foreign runners. Furthermore, in order for the internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet to succeed, it requires for the organization of GöteborgsVarvet to truly find or develop motives for it.

  • Read 334 Inspiring Stories
    Inspiring stories from AudioFuel customers Since I've been an audiofuel customer, running has helped me deal with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even when I feel low, tired and like I don't want to carry on, listening to audiofuel tracks helps to give me the motivation I need to get out and run. When I run, it helps improve my mood and this in turn helps me to live life to its fullest. ______________________ I lost 3 stone after running to audio fuel pyramid 200 and went on to complete a half marathon having only trained for 10 weeks ! My proudest moment was when I planned to go out for a 3 mile run, got lost and managed to run 5 miles! My first distance larger than 3 miles, and I kept at the same pace. I was so proud of myself! ______________________ Inspiration from Team AudioFuel Page 1 of 79 I'm 62 and have been exercising routinely for decades. However I amped it up with the interval training and not only did I peel off a few pounds, but my energy is great! I love intervals and so does my dog. (I also out ran my 37 year old son, and it inspired him to amp it up too!) ______________________ Having come back from 8 months of injury and operations, all my running has been done to audiofuel, without it I don't think I would be back running 4 times per week. The speed session is slower but I can see improvement, the long runs painfully slow.

  • Remembering Pope Saint John Paul II's Visit to Denver for World Youth
    Remembering Pope Saint John Paul II’s visit to Denver for World Youth Day 1993 “I came that they might have life, and have it to the full.” –John 10: 10 Theme for World Youth Day, Denver 1993 Photo: Helen H. Richardson/ Denver Post “Imagine Woodstock with all of the good and none of the bad… It was an event of more than 100,000 young people that changed society, but there was no marijuana; no beer bottles on the ground.” –Sister Mary Ann Walsh, RSM, communications director for World Youth Day Denver ——- Looking back to 1993: The third visit of Pope Saint John Paul II to the United States (not counting two flight layovers in Alaska) was held in Denver for the 1993 World Youth Day (August 10-15, 1993). The Archdiocese of Denver, under the leadership of then Archbishop J. Francis Stafford, hosted this historic event. This marked the eighth WYD, which was started by Pope John Paul II in 1986 in Rome. Denver’s event was the first World Youth Day to be held in North America, as well as in an English-speaking nation. Pope John Paul II initiated plans for World Youth Day in 1984, with the first celebration in 1986. The Denver event was the eighth celebration and the first to become an international media sensation. Photo: Denver Catholic Register The Holy Father arrived in the Mile High City on August 12 following the first-ever papal visit to the island nation of Jamaica (August 9-11), and a brief stop in Mexico. He arrived by helicopter.

  • Talk: CHOSEN for a PURPOSE “You Have Not Chosen Me; I Have Chosen You
    Talk: CHOSEN FOR A PURPOSE “You have not chosen me; I have chosen you. Go and bear fruit that will last.” John 15:16 The Life of St. Francis Born to a wealthy lifestyle, son of a merchant in Assisi, Italy Had the attention of those around him Didn’t care to join the business of his father Desired to be a soldier Dream led him to return from battle, back to Assisi Was not satisfied with his status, honor and wealth Spent time in prayer and solitude, seeking an answer to his call Encounter with a leper, at first was disgusted but decided to move beyond this feeling to being moved by this man and his heart was captured Prayed in front of a crucifix in the church, San Damiano, where Christ spoke to Francis. "Go, Francis, and repair (rebuild) my house, which as you see is falling into ruin.” Francis’ response, “Yes!” said Francis. “This is what I want, this is what I long for with all my heart.” The decision was not an easy one. He was ridiculed by the towns’ people, beaten, locked up and rejected by his father. He ultimately stripped naked to reject his earthly life (sonship) to receive his heavenly life (an adopted son of the Heavenly Father). He went to Rome to petition to the Pope to start an order Many became attracted to St. Francis and joined his order I tell you this story because I know we can learn something from St. Francis for ourselves and for the sake of the young people we will be witnessing to this year.
