    Study Notes

    Organization Types

    • Organizations can be classified by their profit motive (profit or non-profit) and ownership structure (public, private, or semi-public/private).
    • Examples include:
      • Profit (for-profit): state-owned corporations, public companies with private capital participation, private companies, and financial institutions.
      • Non-profit (not-for-profit): government ministries and agencies, public institutes, chambers of commerce, societies, institutes, cooperatives, political parties, trade unions, charity organizations, and religious communities.
    • Public-private partnerships are gaining popularity.

    Management in Non-Profit Organizations

    • Typical challenges faced by non-profit organizations include:
      • Lack of resources
      • Poor resource management
      • Founder's syndrome
    • Reasons for these challenges often stem from:
      • Difficulty in meeting the needs of both clients and funders simultaneously
      • Reliance on external funding
      • Limited managerial skills and time
      • Political influence
      • Prioritizing individual needs over organizational needs
      • Poor strategy and unclear mission
    • Key managerial activities:
      • Fund raising and efficient financial resource management
      • Branding the organization for both clients and funders
      • Managing limited human resources
    • The importance of non-profit management is increasing due to:
      • Growth in the non-profit sector
      • Increasing rationalization of funding
      • Dependence on private and public funding
      • Non-essential nature of non-profit goods, leading to higher income elasticity of demand

    Non-Profit Organizations: Different Management Needs

    • Different types of non-profit organizations require varying levels of classical managerial approaches.
    • Organizations like big charities, universities, hospitals, and professional sports associations require more classical management due to their complex structure and greater focus on competition.
    • Local social service agencies, local utility companies, local sports clubs, and national sports federations require differing degrees of classical management based on their specific needs.

    The Role of Sport

    • Sport benefits both individuals through personal well-being and society through health improvements and positive societal impact.
    • Sport is a mixed good, requiring funding from both private and public sources.
    • Inequality in society also necessitates state intervention to make sport accessible to all.

    Sports Market and Financing in Slovenia

    • The Slovenian sports market is characterized by:
      • A competitive professional sports market with limited revenues due to a small market size
      • A recreational sports market with a large active population and substantial household spending
      • A youth sports market with limited public funding and relying on private sponsorships for commercially popular sports.
    • Sports financing in Slovenia resembles other EU countries, with a notable redistributive effect.

    Management vs. Administration in Sport

    • The terms "management" and "administration" are often misused when discussing sports organizations.
    • The key difference is that management emphasizes planning, implementation, and control, while administration encompasses broader business topics like HRM, purchasing, marketing, and finance.
    • Sport management and sport administration are often similar in content, emphasizing management over administration.

    Fundamentals of Sport Management

    • Sport management encompasses both competitive and recreational sports, various organization types, different levels of activity, and interconnectedness with other sectors.
    • The focus is on competitive and recreational sports, national and international levels, and prioritizing companies over societies, institutes, and federations.
    • Sport is rapidly becoming a growing business.
    • Sport management can be broadly divided into:
      • Management in sport for entertainment (recreational sport)
      • Management in sport for achievement (competitive sport)
