Summary:
Organizational theorists have usually seen sports as an interesting field in which to illustrate organizational phenomena. In this literature review we examine academic papers and research which explore the particular nature of organizational phenomena in sports, specifically in relation to the structure of sport organizations. This topic has been commonly discussed in the context of wider organizational studies, mainly related to organizational change, organizational performance and the structural configuration of organizations. This means that the changes that have transformed the world of sports have affected not only the structure of sport organizations, but also the environment in which they operate and the measures traditionally used to evaluate their effectiveness. By exploring the literature we hope to identify interesting niches for future research on the structure of sport organizations and the essential elements to be considered when studying organizational phenomenon in the sport sector. |
