Sports Management
Task 1: Group assignment (1/2)
Subject of the task: Group project assignment – International Sports Public Relations (40%).
Contextual information: PR can be defined in a limited way as an organizational function designed to improve the effectiveness of a (sports) organization’s relationship and reputation where effectiveness is defined as furthering organizational and client interests. The issues-led nature of PR is highlighted as being particularly important in sports business. PR practice may also include advocacy and persuasion, for example, to convince the IOC to choose one city over another as the host for the next Olympics; or to include synchronized skating, sport climbing, wushu, Rolle sports or squash as an Olympic sport in 2020. PR is therefore interest-led in practice, which is why it is important for citizens to be able to “read” PR activity behind the scenes and understand how PR produces discourses that circulate in contemporary society. PR represents interests and is responsible for rhetorical utterances in public communication that seek to influence and achieve a particular effect. PR is purposeful strategic intention (Etang, 2013).
