Book excerpt: This paper seeks to predict and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the Olympic Movement in the next decades. During its transformative existence the Movement has taken advantage of many opportunities that have been offered, especially through the growth and importance of global sport. However, at the same time, the Olympic Movement has also been regularly beset by significant internal and external challenges. The fact that the Olympic Games have managed to survive despite them should not mean that those who lead the Movement should be unduly optimistic or complacent. In today's environment Olympic leaders must continue to overcome such hurdles and make the most of opportunities. To achieve this it is crucial that Olympic lessons of the past are remembered. Just as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has instigated the Transfer of Know How Program for Olympic Games Organising Committees (OCOGs), Olympic managers need to recognize the challenges of the past and how previous Olympic management dealt with them. This is essential because, in reality, much recent Olympic history has merely repeated what has come before, albeit in new contexts. For example, doping, hyper commercialism, media rights and political interference are recurring and continuing concerns. Thus, in addition to every Olympic Games since 1896, intervening years can be used as learning experiences for host cities and nations, for the Olympic Movement, and for sport at large. At the heart of many Olympic controversies is the fact that the Olympic rhetoric still does not always match its reality. This remains a hurdle that the IOC must overcome to become the integrious body it wishes to be, especially in the second decade of the 21st century, when the call for increasing corporate social responsibility (CSR) is echoing loudly throughout the world. The nature of CSR is congruous with Olympism, the philosophical basis of the Olympic Movement, and indeed the IOC has much to offer other large.

Book excerpt: This paper addresses the challenges faced by the Olympic Movement from an educational and historical-educational perspective. The focus is on three ideas which all have the potential for development into academic projects which would benefit the Olympic Movement. Firstly, there is a need to analyze the relevance of Pierre de Coubertin to today's Olympic Movement. Examples are given on how some of Coubertin's ideas can be transferred from their late 19th century roots to the Olympic world of today. Secondly, there is a discussion on how social and educational responsibility towards athletes can be increased. This is analyzed against the background of the recommendations collected at the XIIIth Olympic Congress, where a session was devoted to the athletes. A key aspect in this chapter is an argument for the production of a training manual on Olympic values. This would be an important development and would be aimed at the stakeholders of the Olympic Movement with influence on the personal, professional and moral development of athletes. Thirdly, "sport for peace" programmes supported by the IOC are introduced as a valuable means by which to bring social harmony and trans-cultural respect to countries which have severely suffered from inter and intra war conflicts. The challenge described here is centered on the problem of "transfer."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has developed into a crucial corporate and organizational issue around the world. It has been incorporated into various sectors and countries, and includes many types of activities and dimensions. It is a common notion that organizations are more inclined today to broaden and shift their performance focus from short-term goals towards long-term social, environmental, and value-added perspectives. Under the framework of corporate governance, organizations and companies are motivated to promote fairness, transparency, ethics, and accountability in their transactions, while concurrently maintaining enhanced standards of governance. This means that organizations and corporations must align their activities with community aspirations which is an issue falling within the sphere of CSR. Increased attention has been placed on the organizations regarding their approach towards the needs of various stakeholders. However, a crucial issue that this book attempts to address is the association, intersection, and inter-relationship between governance and CSR within the EU region, which are not adequately established in the existing literature. The book will show that governance and CSR are highly connected. With the purpose of studying the association of CSR with legal, managerial and empirical aspects of governance in corporations and not-for-profit organizations, in various sectors of the economy, the book also intends to provide useful policy implications, as well as to offer constructive directions for future research. This book will be of value to researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, and students in the fields of CRS and governance, organizational theory, marketing management, business ethics and human resource management.

Book excerpt: This book explores the key issues of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and reporting as applied to sports organizations, with particular attention to the Italian environment. It is divided into two parts, the first of which examines the general principles and reporting tools of CSR; these represent the reference point for all types of organization, including sports organizations. The coverage encompasses the evolution of CSR and the latest standards issued by authoritative international public and private institutions. The aim is to provide readers with a sound basis for understanding fully the application of these principles and reporting tools within the world of sport. The second part is devoted to a detailed analysis of the CSR strategies and social reporting initiatives adopted by sports organizations. Although the focus is primarily on Italian sports organizations, due attention is also paid to world benchmarks. In particular, the analysis examines the CSR strategies and reporting initiatives developed by international and Italian sports federations and by two international professional football clubs. The book will be of wide interest to academics, students, and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of the events industry brings with it concerns of sustainable management, the sharing of available resources, and ensuring that people and places are not over-exploited. While the environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability have attracted a reasonable attention in the study of events, the social and cultural aspects of sustainability have been largely neglected. This book brings together emerging critical perspectives, innovative conceptual frameworks and contemporary case studies. Events cannot be isolated from the actions of humans and this is reflected in the emphasis on people and society throughout. The next wave of sustainable discourse requires a critical synthesis of information and this book is the first to address the need for more critical approaches and a broader way of thinking about events and sustainability. Divided into five thematic parts, the contributions delve into understanding the mainstream stances towards sustainability, the role events play in indigenous cultures and in diasporic communities, and the extent to which events influence the public discourse and civic identity. Sustainability is also examined from a strategic perspective in the events sector, and consideration is given to issues such as corporate social responsibility, greenwashing, and the power of mulit-stakeholder alliances in promoting sustainability goals. Written by leading academics, this timely and important volume will be valuable reading for all students, researchers and academics interested in Events and the global issue of Sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection contains six refreshing critical assessments of the leisure-sport relationship from societies that have staged the Olympic and Paralympic Games and contains valuable information for those who live in societies that aspire to host the Games. The collection begins and ends with discussions of the Olympic Games as a platform for protest. The first and last chapters consider the changing political relationships from 1968 in Mexico City, when one of the most politically-charged gestures ever made by athletes took place, and the campaigns surrounding the ethical responsibilities of those hosting the Olympics in London in 2012. Other chapters consider the sociocultural legacy of the Seoul Olympics, assess the likely regeneration legacies of the London 2012 Games, examine the relationship between hosting societies and indigenous cultures and analyse the effectiveness and appeal of Olympic mascots. This collection provides not just insight into the past and present effects of the Olympic and Paralympic Games but also offers readers the opportunity to reflect upon and consider the impact of these sports mega-events on their everyday lives. This book was published as a special issue of Leisure Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory is an essential element in the development of any academic discipline and sport management is no exception. This is the first book to trace the intellectual contours of theory in sport management, and to explain, critique and celebrate the importance of sport management theory in academic research, teaching and learning, and in the development of professional practice. Written by a world-class team of international sport management scholars, each of whom has taken a leading role in developing a particular theory or framework for understanding sport management, the book covers the full span of contemporary issues, debates, themes and functional approaches, from corporate social responsibility and diversity to strategy, marketing and finance. Every chapter explores a key theoretical approach, including an overview of that theory, a discussion of the process of theory development and of how the theory has been employed in research, practice or teaching, and outlines directions for future research in that area. Each chapter includes cases and examples, as well as short illustrative commentaries from people who have used that particular theory in their work, and attempts to highlight the theory-practice links, or gaps, in that area. For a fully-rounded understanding of what sport management is and how it should be studied, taught and practiced, a thorough grounding in theory is essential. The Routledge Handbook of Theory in Sport Management is therefore important reading for all advanced students, researchers, instructors, managers and practitioners working in this exciting field.
