Soccer coaches and their athletes were also surveyed to assess the impact of the congruence of leadership practices ratings upon athlete satisfaction. Two samples were taken from Spring and Fall, 1998 sports: (a) 225 full-time head coaches of team sports in which there was a male and female equivalent in California's community colleges, and (b) 280 men's and women's soccer athletes.

  • Framing Student-Athlete Compensation: a Thematic Analysis of California Senate Bill 206
    Framing Student-Athlete Compensation: A Thematic Analysis of California Senate Bill 206 Jocelyn Irene Hotter Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Communication Chelsea L. Woods, Chair Marcus C. Myers Nneka J. Logan May 7, 2020 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: NCAA, Compensation, Framing, California Senate Bill 206 Framing Student-Athlete Compensation: A Thematic Analysis of California Senate Bill 206 Jocelyn Irene Hotter ACADEMIC ABSTRACT The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has controlled intercollegiate sports for the past 150 years, but the passing of California Senate Bill 206 on September 30, 2019, placed that power at risk. The bill will allow student-athletes to receive compensation for their name, image and likeness in the state of California, and has influenced other states to bring forth legislation of their own. The NCAA announced on October 29, 2019, that it would change its policies and bylaws to allow student-athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness. This qualitative thematic analysis seeks to discover how the issue of student-athletes in the case of SB 206 was framed by the media before and after the bill was passed, and after the NCAA announced its policy change. From the analysis, three themes emerged to support student-athlete compensation, eight themes emerged in opposition, and 24 sub themes emerged for both sides. Anti-compensation framing strategies prevailed throughout news coverage before and after SB 206 passed, and after the NCAA changed its policy. Local and mainstream news outlets and sports and mainstream news outlets all presented the eight themes.

As the Munich Memorial Project progressed, it became clear to us a story of healing and justice lay at the center of this effort to remember the slain Israeli athletes and coaches from the ‘72 Summer Olympics in Munich. We formed a team of filmmakers and traveled to Europe to interview the widows and children of the Israeli athletes. Their stories of grief, longing for justice, and dedication to honoring the lives of their killed loved ones are both difficult and important to hear. These stories are also the basis of our new short documentary titled, “Munich ’72 and Beyond.” Stay tuned to see this documentary in the coming months. 2015 was also year of strengthening connections with our many grant recipients, such as the World Curling Federation and the International Paralympic Committee. We were happy to join these groups as sponsors of events such as the Olympic Celebration Tour and the 2015 Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships in Buffalo.

  • IMC) by Advertising Agencies
    The Role of Brand Identity in the Implementation of Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) by Advertising Agencies David N. Bibby A Thesis Submitted to Auckland University of Technology in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2015 Faculty of Business and Law Abstract This thesis seeks answers to a fundamental question relating to the field of marketing communications: How does one implement Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC)? It is almost 30 years since Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) first aroused the interest of researchers. In that time a significant body of research has emerged seeking to define what the concept means (Kliatchko, 2009; Moriarty & Schultz, 2012) and to understand what factors are involved in managing the implementation of IMC (Kerr & Patti, 2013; Porcu, del Barrio-Garcia, & Kitchen, 2012). The perceived benefits of IMC provide a compelling explanation as to why the practice is widespread today (Eagle et al. 2007; Kitchen & Schultz, 1999; Schultz & Schultz, 2004). The basic concept and principal benefit of IMC is synergy (Duncan & Everett, 1993). IMC is perceived as improving media and message delivery and thereby reducing media costs (Nowak, Cameron & Delorme, 1996). IMC is therefore considered an efficient and effective strategy for building brand equity (Madhavaram, Badrinarayana & McDonald, 2005). Since the inception of IMC a number of scholars have emphasised the strategic role of the brand in the implementation of IMC (Duncan & Moriarty, 1998; Duncan & Mulhern, 2004; Schultz, 1998; Schultz & Kitchen, 2000a). Building brand equity is considered to be a key strategic objective of IMC (Aaker, 2014; Fill, 2009; Kapferer, 2008) and the brand identity construct has been proposed as a key element in that process (Aaker, 1996; Kapferer, 2008).
