The purpose of this case study is to make the students working with problems that can be solved by using the right method and transfer the theory from literature into a realistic practical solution. This is an alternative to the traditional teaching.
AIMS
1. To provide students with the opportunity to explore many aspects of mega sport organisations and event; and to apply theoretical knowledge to a topical real case;
2. To prepare students for future employment by working with information and under conditions of a real case from the past, independently gather and analyse information to develop solutions; and to advice the hypothetical client;
3. To learn and practice consulting process and team-work.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: on successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
1. assess the constituents of the top level competitive sports (mega sports);
2. systematically analyse business and management problems in situational context;
3. find, analyse and use relevant information to develop and compare alternatives and to make strategic business choices in the field of sport;
4. demonstrate communication (produce a written report, prepare and deliver oral presentation), ICT skills (data analysis, presentation), numeric (analyse and present data in a summarised form), ICT (prepare graphs, tables; produce written report, search for retrieve and store information), group work and independent learning skills while advising a hypothetical client in a sport business case.
TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGY (INDICATIVE)
This is an independent learning module. Students will be required to develop their own consultancy project via directed independent learning. Support will be given via Blackboard (discussion board). Face to face contact will comprise a limited number of instructor-led lectures and seminars, and the final student presentation. Lectures will provide a framework within which students are expected to work. Seminars will be small-group or individual discussions on various aspects of the groups’ consultancy project.
ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
Assessment will be through a simulated consultancy project on an Olympic bid. While using real information, the request for consultancy will be set by the instructor. Students will not contact real organisations or bid cities. The request for consultancy may change from one year to another depending on current issues in sport.
