“…The role of football club's image in organizational identity research has received significant interest, as studies have shown that external impressions of an organization's image influence the perception of external stakeholders including fans (Bauer et al, 2008;Herold et al, 2021;Parent and Foreman, 2007). The relationship between identity and image is interdependent, i.e.…”

PurposeA perceived misalignment between socially responsible fans and football club management has recently led to a major crisis during the annual meeting in 2021 of Bayern Munich, one of the largest professional football teams in Europe. In an unprecedented scenario, Bayern Munich fans demanded that management drop one of its largest sponsors due to alleged violation of human rights. The goal of this paper is to examine this particular phenomenon, as it not only demonstrates a discrepancy between the social organizational identity and its image, but more importantly, how it impacts legitimation strategies and the fans' loyalty attitudes towards the club.Design/methodology/approachUsing the underlying concepts of legitimacy and loyalty, this conceptual model paper proposes two frameworks for social responsibility in professional football clubs: (1) analyzing how the (mis-)alignment between organizational identity and image impacts fan loyalty and (2) depicting four different types of social responsibility strategies to align organizational identity and image.FindingsThe authors identify various theoretical concepts that influence organizational identity and image in and for social responsibility and combine the two critical concepts of legitimacy and loyalty to categorize the social responsibility strategies for professional football clubs.Originality/valueBoth frameworks advance the understanding of the decision-making behind social responsibility strategies and also synthesize the current literature to offer conceptual clarity regarding the varied implications and outcomes linked to the misalignment between organizational identity and image.

“…This assumption is important because fans who want to watch sports events have to travel home-stage in spatial terms: city, regional or even national. However, based on the research carried out, by far the largest group are fans living in the agglomeration where the stadium is located (Herold, Schulenkorf, Breitbarth, and Bongiovanni, 2021). (Soza-Parra, Raveau, and Muñoz, 2021;2022) analyses the transport preferences of city residents, finding that in a frequency-based system (without timetables), even with perfect regularity, users are not sure when the next vehicle will arrive.…”

Purpose: Determining the profile and the relationship between the fan's demographic profile and the way of traveling to the stadium. Design/Methodology/Approach: To establish a relationship between qualitative data that allows a feature to be ordered according to its strength of that feature, the best method is to determine the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The use of this coefficient is the most appropriate choice, as the correlation (interdependence of qualitative characteristics) concerns the description of the transport behaviour of passengers commuting to the stadium using various means of transport. Moreover, by analyzing the relationships between these variables by the correspondence method, a similar profile of passengers using a given means of transport is obtained. Findings: The analysis of the presented data in the figures and tables that the analyzed features do not show a large correlation on the way fans commute to the football stadium. Originality/Value: The originality of the article is related to the innovative approach to the issues affecting the management of the offer of transport services -the use of the Spearman's rank correlation method and correspondence analysis in the research of passengers commuting to the football stadium.

“…The third and last aspect refers to two interconnected aspects. On the one hand, a specific and immediate focus on how venue organiser manage the traffic flow from fans to and around the venue (Herold et al, 2021b), and second, a wider perspective on how policymakers design and plan transportation for global sport events (Frantzeskakis & Frantzeskakis, 2006;Minis, Keys, & Athanasopoulos, 2006a).…”

“…The negligence -or even disregard -of logistical activities and their management in and around sport events is somewhat surprising, given that venue and sport managers are often required to adopt sophisticated logistics management practices in today's competitive and globalised sport business world. For example, the transportation of Formula One race cars (Jenkins, Pasternak, & West, 2016); the scheduling and organisation around home and away games in professional sports (Herold, Schulenkorf, Breitbarth, & Bongiovanni, 2021b;Kendall, Knust, Ribeiro, & Urrutia, 2010); or the planning and provision of critical infrastructure for fans, teams and athletes (Frawley, Cobourn, & Adriaanse, 2016) can be regarded as core elements for the successful staging of global sport events.…”
