SPM 261 Introduction to Sports Management

This course explores the organization of national sports and their international parent bodies and agencies. Although the course has an emphasis on the Australian sports system, the course (and the text) also provides a range of international examples to allow a comparative analysis of systems and structures elsewhere in the world, for example:

  1. the overviews of sport in the US, UK, Singapore and New Zealand facilitates a comparison between government and sporting agencies responsible for sport policy and programs
  2. case studies examine Sport Canada and its role in terms of sports policy formulation and its relationship to provinces and territories
  3. sporting examples are drawn from the Scotland, Malaysia, the United States, Europe, India and China.


Prerequisite: Sophomore year or above.
