Sponsorship programmes and corruption in sport: management responses to a growing threat

Abstract

Sponsorship programmes are increasingly being exposed to the threat of corruption in sport. Several recent notable cases of corruption have exposed sponsors and their investments to significant perceived pressures including negative consumer associations with athletes, teams and officials that have been found guilty of engaging in corrupt activity. How sponsors respond to such instances of corruption in sport forms the basis of this paper. Drawing from an analysis of corruption cases (n = 2089), the paper initially examines the nature of corruption in sport. Through interview data (n = 21), it subsequently identifies key factors that sponsors should take into consideration when deciding upon a course of action to mitigate any potential effects of corrupt activity by a sporting property they are associated with. Finally, the paper discusses those courses of action.     

A conceptual model and research agenda for bidding,planning and delivering Major sport events that lever human rights

In this conceptual article, the authors propose a framework for how progressive human rights outcomes may be obtained in the context of bidding, planning and implementing major sport events (MSEs) through the implementation of four pathways, including good governance, the democratic participation of stakeholders, the formalisation of human rights agendas and the deployment of sensitive urban development. The authors argue that there is a need for adherence to internationally recognised standards, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights if rhetorical statements from MSE awarding bodies and host organisers are to be accountable to a wider set of actors. If researchers and practitioners want to address some of the critical issues related to human rights and MSEs, it is imperative that key actors working in the rights sphere are involved in shaping the research agenda and monitoring its implementation. Academics need to take a proactive approach aimed at achieving both theoretically grounded and practically relevant solutions, with engagement occurring over an extended period of time. This approach, avowedly political and concerned with genuine action, is a key way in which MSE stakeholders can be held to account for their actions in regard to human rights.

The role of perceived product quality and overall satisfaction on purchase intentions

The study investigated the effects of perceived product quality and overall satisfaction on purchase intentions. Moreover, the direct and indirect effects of values and involvement on purchase intentions were studied. The study utilized the survey questionnaire and used sport shoes as the product being researched. The sample consisted of 197 students who responded to an anonymous questionnaire. Five hypotheses were tested and four of them were confirmed by the data. Perceived quality had a direct and an indirect effect (through overall satisfaction) on purchase intentions, overall satisfaction had a direct effect on purchase intentions and involvement had an indirect effect on purchase intentions through overall satisfaction and perceived quality. The results of the study provide several theoretical and practical implications.

加拿大CITT实质性阻碍案例判解之分析

实质性阻碍损害标准是指倾销进口产品严重地阻碍了进口国一个相同产品新产业的建立。作为反倾销法中损害认定三种损害类型中的一种,国际反倾销协议和各国反倾销法包括发达国家如加拿大的反倾销法对其规定得都较为概括模糊,因此有必要对加拿大国际贸易法庭对有关实质性阻碍的案例解释进行分析,以明确该损害标准的适用规则。从实质性阻碍客体之认定和实质性阻碍因素之认定两个方面对实质性阻碍案例解释进行分析。     

选择"责任险方案"投保工伤保险更符合企业利益

(补充)工伤保险是近年来我国商业保险市场的新生事物。在我国产、寿险分业经营的制度下，财产险公司和寿险公司分别从自己的角度推出了适应这个需求的产品。并由此形成了“责任险方案”和“人身险方案”并存的市场供给局面。本文从法定责任转移、纳税优惠以及前瞻性三方面对两种方案进行了分析对比，得出结论：选用“责任险方案”更符合投保企业的利益。
