This increased presence of women in professional sports management positions is considered significant by Watt and this author suggests these trends will very likely continue; however, there are some skeptics who argue that the increase presence of women in sports management positions has been a token efforts by the top managers and in actuality only involves a limited number of sport and physical activity areas, such as aerobics; however, there has been a perceptible increase in the number of actively participating females during the past three decades or so, yet there is still a great deal to be accomplished to achieve equality of action in many sporting venues (Watt, 2003). In this regard, Watt points out that, "There are several major sports where women are still treated very much as second-class citizens, and in some cases they are almost not recognized at all" (emphasis added) (2003, p. 32).

MEMO: Comparing my existing resume with a description for an internship

COMPARISON OF RESUME TO INTERNSHIP DESCRIPTION

In the first place my "Objective" is presented as a way to get into football coaching where I can also serve as a mentor for players; it does not include any suggestion vis-a-vis becoming involved in "sports management" per se, but. My objective is fairly narrow and because I am seriously contemplating an internship with an agency like the Charlotte Regional Sports Commission's (CRSC) Internship Program I will need to expand my objective to include a desire to immerse myself from the ground up in a sports management internship that offers practical, hands-on management experience for a variety of tasks and skills associated with an internship.

Considerations for Factories in China

The researcher considers the third recommendation that NIKE needs to have a joint venture with factories in China to be vital. Implementing a joint venture with factories in China and owning shares in these factories will help NIKE obtain more control over the production process and plant management.

Sports Management The Emergence of Big Data in Sports Performance Management
Introduction
In the past twenty-five years, the amount of data available in this world has grown exponentially. In Western society in particular, we have become obsessed with the quantification of just about everything. One of the reasons is simple – there’s a lot more data out there, it’s relatively cheap to acquire, and there are just enough statisticians who know how to get value from data to make sense of it all. Some sports have always loved data – baseball, especially. The large data sets from playing 160 game seasons, and the way that each play occurs in isolation makes it easy for casual fans to understand baseball’s class stats. When people started digging deeper into baseball’s numbers, they came up with the ideas in Moneyball, rooted in the idea that there is a sufficient amount of granular data available that is…...

This mechanism will ultimately save the firm money as it is more efficient with its resources. More important however, feedback insures that the strategic planning process remains focused on the metrics of success rather than diverging from its intended purpose. Sporting organizations need focus in order to maintain their funding constituency. This comes in the form of ticket, merchandise, and television ad sales.
Furthermore, performance measures are important in regards to the overall benchmarking process. Performance measures provide a means of evaluation of both personnel and the strategic plan itself. With these measures of success management can better identify performance relative to strategic planning benchmarks. Also, through the use of performance measures, coupled with appropriate feedback mechanisms management can better ascertain initiatives. If performance is a substantial departure from management standards, organizational leaders can better determine what areas need improvement and coach to those specific areas. Through performance measures, management…...

Sports management is defined as a coordination of technologies, resources, personnel, processes, and situational contingencies to enhance efficient exchange and production of sports services. Typically, sports management is related to other business management that involves planning, organizing, evaluating and using managerial skills to achieve the organizational objectives. Chelladurai, (1993) classifies sports management with references to the services delivered, which include participant services, consumer services, professional services, spectator services, and sponsorship services. The author also points out that the sports management has overlapped the recreation and health administrations leading to the interrelationships with other disciplines. While Chelladurai, (1993) evaluates the taxonomy of sports management in the 80s and early 90s, however, sports management has changed in the last 20 years because it has integrated the sport merchandising services, and sport facilities services.
The objective of this paper is to explore the taxonomy of sports management over the last 20 years.

Event managers also need to understand the type of event(s) they host and understand that variuos events draw different types of crowds, as no two crowds are alike and each crowd typically behaves in different manners. Abbott and Geddie (2001) warn: "Crowds can behave violently, resulting in destruction of property, personal injury, and, in extreme cases, death. Crowd management plans should be adjusted to meet the needs of the event and the potential crowd" (p. 260). Event managers need to prepare for the unexpected that might occur. They need to also realize that football game may require more security officers than a golf game.
