Business and Management (Prereq. students need a previous management course) **Credits:** 3 **Hours: ** 45 Focusing on the European sports industry as compared to the US, this course highlights the structures and systems of governance, and the ownership, financing and management of leagues, teams, facilities and events. The comparison continues with an analysis of media rights negotiations and commercialization processes for major sports such as Cycling, F1 and Moto Sports. The role of sports marketing, in particular the management of endorsement deals and brands by leading sports apparel companies such as Nike, Adidas and Puma in US and European markets are compared. Throughout the course critical analysis of key issues and controversies affecting the sports industry in Europe is undertaken, including the over-commercialization of sports, ethical scandals involving sports betting, and the sustainability of team and league business models.
