“…Similar to the mainstream governmental and business settings, establishing high-quality social exchange relationships has significant meanings for the management of sport events and even the sport industry in China at large. According to Cook et al (2005), Johnson, Choi, et al (2019), , those cultural background characteristics and cross-cultural factors that restrict the norms of social exchanges and hinder their applications have gradually garnered more research attentions in recent years, which is particularly true in the context of sport businesses.…”

Previous research has overlooked the influence of non-mega sport events on local residents' perceptions of quality of life and their attitude toward the hosting of events; in particular, there is a major research void in understanding residents' opinions in Chinese cities that are making escalated efforts in staging small to medium size sport events. This study examined the relationships among the perceived impacts of sport event, quality of life, and event support of local residents at a marathon event in China. Findings revealed that perceived psychological and social impacts by local residents were found to be positively predictive of their quality of life and event support, perceived economic impact had no significant influence, perceived environmental impact was significant in facilitating residents' quality of life although it was not influential of their support for the event directly. Implications are discussed furtherly.

“…Media representation of an athlete or a group or athletes (e.g. female athletes) has significant impact on shaping athlete image among sport media audiences by providing and emphasizing specific perspectives and moments (Johnson et al 2019;Kim et al 2019;Shoemaker and Reese 1990). Moreover, image can be influenced by commentaries of sport commentators (Sullivan 1991;Zhang, Pease, and Smith 1998).…”

The purpose of current study was to examine the impact of potential factors that influence audience's attitude toward and intention to watch LPGA tournaments that are typically led by a large number of foreign golfers today. Research participants (N = 375) were LPGA consumers who responded to a questionnaire administered online. SEM analysis was performed to investigate the impact of diversity beliefs, cultural familiarity, perceived image, and femininity on attitude toward and intention to watch. The results revealed positive influence of perceived image and femininity on audience's attitude, while negative impact of assimilation belief on attitude was identified. Furthermore, positive associations between attitude and intention as well as subjective norm and intention were confirmed. These findings suggest that promotion of the image of tour-leading foreign golfers and femininity would be useful to attract media spectators while promotion of diversity mitigating audiences' belief on assimilation approach can be effective under the new globalized tour environment.

“…Globalisation in the football industry can offer a more extensive selection of goods and services, help it gain new customers in new markets around the world, expand sourcing opportunities, grow, expand the scope of football business, save money and increase profits (Andreff, 2008;Zhang et al, 2018a, b). At the same time, globalisation has adverse effects on SCM, including greater complexities, increase in competition, more risk, more Business management in the football industry challenges to collect the significant data and more legal issues (Floespase, 2019;Johnson et al, 2019). Therefore, we proposed that football managers should consider the opportunities and limitations of globalisation.…”

“…These three trends have many societies to engage in many leisure activities in all developed market economies (Andreff, 2008). On the other hand, while the sports industry has contributed to globalization, some critical issues have also arisen in managing sports teams, leagues and organizations (Johnson et al, 2019). The globalization of sports events could also reach its highest point with actual global sports events such as football World Cups (Andreff, 2008).…”

PurposeTo understand the football industry in its entirety, a supply chain management (SCM) approach is necessary. This includes the study of suppliers, consumers and their collaborations. The purpose of this study was to present a business management model based on supply chain management.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 academic and executive football experts. After three steps of open, axial and selective coding based on grounded theory with a paradigmatic approach, the data were analysed, and a football supply chain management (FSCM) was developed. The proposed model includes three managerial components: upstream suppliers, the manufacturing firm, and downstream customers.FindingsThe football industry sector has three parts: upstream suppliers, manufacturing firm/football clubs and downstream customers. We proposed seven parts for the managerial processes of football supply chain management: event/match management, club management, resource and infrastructure management, customer relationship management, supplier relationship management, cash flow management and knowledge and information flow management. This model can be used for configuration, coordination and redesign of business operations as well as the development of models for evaluation of the football supply chain's performance.Originality/valueThe proposed model of a football supply chain management, with the existing literature and theoretical review, created a synergistic outcome. This synergy is presented in the linkage of the players in this chain and interactions between them. This view can improve the management of industry productivity and improve the products quality.
