Mind-Map: A visual method for structuring ideas and information using a central theme, branches for key aspects, and sub-branches for details. Key words and images can be used. Connections between branches show relationships.
Werkzeugkiste (Tool Kit): A structured way to analyze problems, including questions, heuristics, theories, core ideas, and current events.
Problem Definition: Methods and theories are used to analyze the cause-and-effect (cause/effect) of a problem. Specific sector issues are also considered.
Sport Problems: Licensing fees, doping, investment, violence(physical, psychological, sexual), and US college sports are listed as current problems influencing the sport sector.
Sport Definition: A human activity, involving physical and mental exertion. It is competitive and distinguished (differentiated) from everyday movement.
Seven Dimensions of Sport: Involves motor skills, coordinated activity, distinctions from everyday actions, organized competition, regulated by systems (local to international), values (such as fair play), and impactful experiences.
Sports Economics: A macro and socio-economic approach to sports management aiming at resource allocation to generate collective wealth and well-being and includes discussions on product allocation for stakeholders and consumption.
Sport Organisation: Organizational structure includes institutionalized vs. non-institutional, obligatory vs voluntary or private vs public/members vs non-members. Self-managed sports are characterized by volunteer involvement, democracy in decision-making, and focus on members' interests.
Sport Organisation Structures: Sport is offered by various organizations, with self-administered, privately administered (commercial), mandated, and non-administered forms. Each has different characteristics related to funding, ownership, decision-making, and who benefits from the activities.
Sports in Society: Social issues and sports practices create rules and influence the society, affecting people's interactions and roles within it.

Doping: Doping involves using prohibited substances/methods to enhance athletic performance. This is against established rules. Doping can be based on substances, methods or manipulation of testing processes.
Doping Rules: International rules and guidelines define which substances and methods are considered doping. The goal is to maintain equal treatment and fair contest circumstances.
Doping Background: The motivation for doping is based on health (improve health), fairness (equal chances), and achievement (maximize performance/results). Problems include potential health risks for athletes and a potential lack of fairness in competition due to the use of performance-enhancing substances/methods.
Sport and Modern Society: Key factors of modern societies, include taxation and funding issues impacting sports.
Principal-Agent Theory: A situation where a principle (e.g., a sports organization) hires an agent (e.g., a player) to act on their behalf. This relationship is not risk-free and can produce problems including Information asymmetry, and disagreements about decisions or incentives. The sports examples here involve contracts that influence motivation and performance.
