More surprisingly, no athletes were listed among the 300 or so entries, either in a generalist or specific category: perhaps, because of the significance of amateurism as a prevailing ethos in sport until the 1960s.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

  • Accuracy Rate of Bankruptcy Prediction Models for the Dutch Professional Football Industry
    MASTER THESIS BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ACCURACY RATE OF BANKRUPTCY PREDICTION MODELS FOR THE DUTCH PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL INDUSTRY PATRICK GERRITSEN S0118869 UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE, THE NETHERLANDS 1st SUPERVISOR: prof. dr. R. KABIR 2nd SUPERVISOR: dr. X. HUANG September 2015 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Bankruptcy and financial distress are chronicle problems for the Dutch professional football industry. Since the establishment of Dutch’s professional football in 1954 nine clubs have been declared bankrupt (four since 2010) and many others were facing financial distress last few years. Club failure identification and early warnings of impending financial crisis could be very important for the Dutch football association in order to maintain a sound industry and to prevent competition disorder. As financial ratios are key indicators of a business performance, different bankruptcy prediction models have been developed to forecast the likelihood of bankruptcy. Because bankruptcy prediction models are based on specific industries, samples and periods it remains a challenge to predict with a high accuracy rate in other settings. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the accuracy rate of bankruptcy prediction models to an industry and period outside those of the original studies namely, the Dutch professional football industry. The study draws on the information from financial statements (e.g. annual report and season reports) as publicly provided by the Dutch professional football clubs since 2010. The accuracy rate of three best suitable (i.e. commonly used and applicable to the Dutch football industry) accounting-based bankruptcy prediction models of Ohlson (1980), Zmijewski (1984), and Altman (2000) were tested on Dutch professional football clubs between the seasons of 2009/2010 - 2013/2014.

  • A Comparison of Penalty Shootout Designs in Soccer Arxiv:1806.01114
    A comparison of penalty shootout designs in soccer L´aszl´oCsat´o* Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI) Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence, Research Group of Operations Research and Decision Systems Corvinus University of Budapest (BCE) Department of Operations Research and Actuarial Sciences Budapest, Hungary 20th September 2021 Alles erscheint so einfach, alle erforderlichen Kenntnisse erscheinen so flach, alle Kombinationen so unbedeutend, daß in Vergleichung damit uns die einfachste Aufgabe der hoheren¨ Mathematik mit einer gewissen wissenschaftlichen Wurde¨ imponiert.1 (Carl von Clausewitz: Vom Kriege) Abstract Penalty shootout in soccer is recognized to be unfair because the team kicking first in all rounds enjoys a significant advantage. The so-called Catch-Up Rule has been suggested recently to solve this problem but is shown here not to be fairer than the simpler deterministic Alternating (ABBA) Rule that has already been tried. We introduce the Adjusted Catch-Up Rule by guaranteeing the first penalty of the possible sudden death stage to the team disadvantaged in the first round. It outperforms the Catch-Up and Alternating Rules, while remains straightforward to implement. A general measure of complexity for penalty shootout mechanisms is also provided as the minimal number of binary questions required to decide the first-mover in a given round without knowing the history of the penalty shootout. arXiv:1806.01114v11 [cs.GT] 20 Apr 2020 This quantification permits a two-dimensional evaluation

  • ORTEC Sports Business Case – Performance Analysis: Ajax
    ORTEC Sports Business Case – Performance Analysis: Ajax Introduction AFC Ajax is the biggest club in the Netherlands. The club from Amsterdam won the Dutch Eredivisie 34 times and the Dutch cup 19 times. Their recent runs in Europe, with a Europa league final (16/17) and a Champions League semifinal (18/19), have made them a top European contender again. Playing in three leagues each season (Dutch Eredivisie, Domestic Cup and European Leagues) and the second team playing in the Dutch Keuken Kampioen Division creates a high workload and constant time pressure for the whole organization, specifically for the players and staff. Despite the pressure of performing as the most successful club in the Netherlands and wanting to be a European contender, AFC Ajax also wants to stay true to their philosophy and play style. The Ajax-DNA prescribes a dominant play style which is characterized by attacking and pressuring the opponent. When executed correctly, this results in attractive and dominant football. In games against the top European teams, it can help Ajax compensate for the difference in player quality caused by a difference in financial budgets. However, it is also a very demanding play style; both physically on the pitch and behind the scenes. Challenges Capacity - Due to the amount of Play Style - Trying to keep up with games and intense program of the the European elite while staying true first and second team there is a constant to their unique philosophy and play style time pressure. Under these circumstances demands continuous improvement. AFC the staff does not have the resources Ajax needs a way to measure and nor the time to analyze the games of all improve their playing style to their opponents within the needed time.
