... Sports Now a Business Sports is now a money making business in the human culture. In the United States, Every day millions of office and break time conversations center on the local team’s most recent performance, an upcoming game, the impending draft, the current coach, the future coach, and so on. according to the existing records, in United States of America, there are less than 110 Teams of the 4 main organized professional sports, basketball, baseball, hockey, and, football participating in the main League level fixtures annually. There are less than 90 Stadiums spread over 25 States. Today, sports has become a money making alternative for not only players but also the coaches or managers, the media, and schools participating in sports. Salaries for professional athletes continue to escalate each year. From Alex Rodriguez’s record, $252 million contract to David Beckham’s $50 million per year enticement to join the LA Galaxy soccer team, most sports fans believe that professional athletes, in general, are overpaid and not worth their salaries. Yet for the professional athlete, maximizing compensation is critical, given the short careers and health risks associated with the sports profession. Thus, athletes and their agents often look to see what others within their sport are paid in an effort to negotiate for more money. Few, if any, have compared athlete compensation across sports (Rod Hilpirt, Scott Wysong, Sheila Hartley...

...Sport Events Industry Individual Report Words: 2822 Special events have always been part of human history. Anthropologists have traced human civilization for tens of thousands of years, and at the heart of their observations are the ‘special events’ that typify and explain tribal behavior of that time and place. At this point, there is no question that special events have taken on all aspects of an “industry” in that their organization and management are the underlying support for marking the local and domestic details of our lives. Events are not restricted to festive celebrations but can include a variety of gatherings, serious or happy, and religious or cultural, including meetings and conferences, expositions and trade shows, private and public special events, art entertainment and sport events, media or corporate events, and events of various sizes. Events are given a lot of definitions but the most general one that characterizes events is “Temporary occurrence with a predetermined beginning and end. It is unique stemming from the blend of management, programme setting and people.” (Getz, 2005). On the following report there is a wide overview of the sport events sector, that will examine the history and development, the factors that support this sector, the impacts of these events, career opportunities that will arise through this sector and future trends. History and Development Sport reflects the country in which it is played, so inevitably the history of sport...

...TOYOTA An Industry Role Model 5/19/2012 Toyota recognizes the impact their products have on the environment, and have taken the initiative to combat these issues. Through improvements in environmental information availability, active participation in environmental policies focusing on sustainable facilities and product developments, and self-criticism/evaluation to find flaws in critical operation tasks Toyota has become a role model in the automotive industry (Corporate Planning Div. 31). SUSTAINABILITY With constant environmental law and regulation changes, Toyota faces one of their biggest challenges to comply. The policies and strategies were easy enough to produce, but the hardest part is getting employee and business partners to adhere, internalize, and understand the overall picture of where Toyota wanted to be. Training programs were designed to educate dealerships and employees on becoming more eco-friendly and sustainable. The result was Toyota launching their Green Supplier Guidelines in 2001, in hopes that the suppliers would follow the same path (Toyota 47). The search for energy savings has produced what Toyota calls a “treasure hunt”, in which suppliers have access to tools and resources that Toyota themselves use to remain eco-friendly. The outcome has been Toyota’s reduction of around 34,000 metric tons of Caron dioxide (CO2) in their supplier’s processes (Toyota 47). Eco-friendly is not only emissions, but also conservation of...

...Alex Allen The University of North Carolina at Charlotte WGST 3102-001 February 27, 2015 Throughout the course of history, women have faced opposition and lack of equality on a myriad of levels. Women have been forced to stay in the home, forbidden from voting affairs, and prevented from owning property. Men denied women many fundamental rights because they did not see them as equal members of society. Now, thanks to the efforts of the women of the First Wave of Feminism, women have the right to vote. Suffrage, although a huge step for women’s rights, is still only the beginning of the journey. The women of this new suffragist era knew that they had more to offer to society; thus began the struggle of exercising their right to vote, which is known as the Second Wave of Feminism. There were many challenges and obstacles that women had to overcome that defined the Second Wave. One of the largest challenges of all had to be the fact that after suffrage was granted, support dwindled quite a bit. Along with decreased numbers, the active supporters were divided on the matters of the best way to improve the quality of life for women. Many people were content because the majority of media, magazines...

If sport was not about the game, then arguably, sport would be about the money. Each and every week, transfers of players are made, ticket offices receive income, and money is handed from one profiteering person to the next. Where sport is widely thought to be about fair play, professional sport is, in fact, like war. There can only be one winner and what one team or individual gains, the other loses. Many sportsmen and women around the world are caught up with winning, not just because of the prowess of a title but, also because professionalism is now about money and...
