ST02_04/ST08_02 - Sport Governance (co-sponsored by Corporate Governance SIG-02 and Managing Sport SIG-08)
For the last two decades, sport governance has developed into a considerable field of research, and has raised interest of many researchers and practitioners worldwide, advancing knowledge and best practices in sport organisations. Sport Governance is understood as the exercise of power within sport organisations or (inter)national sport systems which provides the structure through which these organisations or systems are controlled, directed and regulated. We invite empirical and theoretical contributions that develop a critical analysis of sport governance and/or practical application of good governance principles using a range of different theoretical and methodological approaches.

T06_15 / T08_03 - New Frontiers in Managing Sport: the Rise of Digital Transformation (co-sponsored by Innovation SIG-06 and Managing Sport SIG-08)
How value is generated in the Sport Industry has dramatically changed in the last years. Spectators/viewers want to play an active role as value co-creators. Wearables and the internet of things (IOTs) allow measuring athlete and amateur performance. Tradiums are combining sport, trade and entertainment. Virtual and augmented reality are delivering immersive services. Big data are fuelling artificial intelligence. eSports are attracting new fans within the youngest generations. This track aims at attracting novel contributions from scholars of sport management, innovation management, sports marketing and information science to develop “sports innovation” as a novel stream of research.

T01_12 / T08_04 - Sport and Sustainability (co-sponsored by Business for Society SIG-01 and Managing Sport SIG-08)
The relation between sport and sustainability is a topic that has raised in the recent years a lot of interest in academics as well as practitioners. Several sport organisations are committed to the management of sustainability issues and many sport events have been arranged adopting sustainability practices. However, in the academic literature, very few studies have investigated the relation between sustainability and sport.
Deepening the relationships between sport and sustainability under the social, economic or environmental point of view is thus the main aim of this track proposal.
