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.

  • A History of the Presentation of American Football in England and Germany
    FROM VIOLENCE TO PARTY: A HISTORY OF THE PRESENTATION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND AND GERMANY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lars Dzikus, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin L. Adelman, Adviser Professor Sarah K. Fields Adviser Professor William J. Morgan College of Education ABSTRACT While scholars have widely discussed the cultural, economic, and political influence of the United States on Europe in general and Germany in particular, the realm of sports has received surprisingly little attention. This study ties in with the scholarly debate about Americanization and / or globalization that started in the first half the 1990s. It examines the presentation of American football in England from the 1890s through World War II as well as in Germany following the war to the present day. The study discusses what non-Americans wrote about football and what their countrymen and –women read about it. The study draws on English and German newspapers and magazines, particularly the London Times and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It also examines the role American military, radio, television, and movies played in the diffusion of American football. In the case of Germany, the researcher draws on extensive qualitative interviews with several of the “founding fathers” of American football in Germany as well as his own experiences in the sport. The work demonstrates that American football arrived in Germany on a field that had been prepared by a three-hundred-year process of imagining Amerika.

  • The Structure of Qualitative Decision-Making: Implications for the Analytical Hierarchy Process
    ISAHP 1996, Vancouver, Canada, July 1245, 1996 - The Structure Of Qualitative Decision-Making: Implications for the Analytical Hierarchy Process Cathal M. Brugha Department ofManagement Information Systems University College Dublin Graduate School ofBusiness, Blackrock, County Dublin, Ireland cathatbrugha@ucctie Abstract: The implications of the structure of qualitative-decision-making for multi-criteria decision analysis are considered. It provides a basis for understanding qualitative distinctions between criteria and, consequently, their proper structuring and grouping to facilitate comparisons. The AliP approach of using relative comparisons is justified. The concept of a qualitative decision function is introduced and shown to correspond to the Cobb-Douglas or power function. It is explained why it is inappropriate to use the AHP to synthesise qualitatively identical attributes of an alternative. This should be done using the multi-attribute utility technique. The two techniques are proven to be complimentary and can be synthesised. Normalisations other than the geometric mean are shown to be unnecessary. The common concerns about rank reversal are dealt with. The importance of developing the thinking process of the decision-maker is discussed. The results of experiments with the proposed structuring approach are outlined. Introduction This article develops from work on the structure of qualitative decision-making (Brugha 1995a, 1995b and 1995c) and on its implications for multicriteria decision-aid science (Brugha, 1996*). The structure of qualitative decision-making is determined by nomology i.e. the science of the laws of the mind. Out of this research come two themes which will be developed here in the context of the Analytical Hierarchy Process: (I) the basis for how people think in terms of qualitative differences and how these can put put into an ordered hierarchy, and (2) increasing understanding of a complex human situation such as a multi-criteria goal is a development process.
