Program description

Students in this course will analyze the sport industry from a manager's perspective. Different sports will be discussed to address various fundamental decisions including (but not limited to) organizational structure, personnel issues, event and facility management, budgeting and ethics. Australia is known for its sports culture. The government actually recognizes sports participation as a form of health care (a wellness strategy). It is important to study sport from a different country so current personalities don't cloud student's  perspectives of the issues being discussed. Australian sports are very different from those in the US. For instance, schools do not have teams, yet there are active after-school programs. Most of the competition is between clubs that develop future professional athletes.
