SPMT11-115: Sport Organisation, Governance and Policy

Description

This subject introduces the dominant approaches to governance and strategic management found in sport organisations. Students will consider the relevance of good governance to the ethical management and overall success of the sport organisation. The process of strategic management will also be explored in terms of strategy formulation, implementation and evaluation, incorporating the importance of performance management and policy frameworks for organisational success. Whether a sport organisation has for-profit or not-for-profit status, or operates in the supply or demand sector of sport, all sport managers need a sound understanding of the principles of governance and strategic management in order to be effective.
