GLOBAL SPORTS IN PERSPECTIVE BID BOOK ASSESSMENT

This module will introduce students to the contemporary landscape in global sport, using mega-events as a focus. It will use historical and contemporary approaches to these events, and will, while teaching students about structures, governance, management, and commercial aspects, encourage critical thinking on political, social, cultural, and economic lines. It will take as its starting point the boom in major sporting events, both single sport ones and multi-sport events. It will begin with a historical perspective on how these events have emerged, and how they link to the different contexts in which they have flourished, and then move into critical contemporary analysis of existing events. The module is based around such themes as: bidding and hosting processes; infrastructure; management and control of events, at central and local levels, and including such issues as security, advertising and marketing, media rights, and volunteering; and legacies. This module will include visits, eg to the Olympic Park.

The whole module will be based around such questions as:
How have mega-events developed, expanded, and changed?
How do society and politics influence mega-events?
How has scandal and reform within the international sport community shaped the selection process for hosting mega-events?
How does urban planning impact mega-events, and vice versa?
How do national, cultural, political, and commercial differences within and between countries impact mega-events?

Objectives and Learning Outcomes
By the end of this module students will:
Demonstrate an understanding of the evolution of sporting mega-events, linking to historical, geographical, political, and cultural contexts.
Demonstrate an understanding of key themes in the global economy of contemporary sporting mega-events, such as governance, hosting, infrastructure, security, commercialisation, and volunteering.

Principles of operant conditioning

According to the principles of operant conditioning, reinforcement seeks to increase the chances of a behavior continuing, so we should only reinforce those behaviors that we would like to see again. There are times when we may intentionally reinforce behavior of someone for our convenience and not understand by doing so how it fosters such undesirable behavior to continue in the future.

Discuss your answers to these questions with your classmates:

When have you unintentionally reinforced an undesirable behavior of someone you know? What was the behavior? How did you reinforce it?
What resulted because of this reinforcement?
Once you realized the continuation of the undesirable behavior how did you manage to guide the individual to desirable behavior?
Do not use yourself as the person with undesirable behavior you reinforced.

Maintaining a Single Samsung Spirit

In 2009, the world economy was hit hard by the financial crisis that was unfolding in the United States. A number of industries, including the financial, automotive and real estate industries were engulfed in this meltdown. Samsung and the electronics industry was no exception; however, Samsung astounded everyone with their impressive financial performance throughout the crisis. A critical factor that contributed to Samsung’s performance was their strong investment in their employees during that period of time. The fact that Samsung made a deliberate focus on Human Resources efforts to hire and develop a diverse workforce, including more experience and non-Korean employees, provided the rich entrepreneurial environment that saved the day.

Post financial crisis, Samsung management realized they faced a challenging situation in socializing these new groups of employees. Management had become aware of the stark differences in values between it’s older employees, who were obedient and followed rules easily and the younger “digital native” employees who were more individualistic and preferred egalitarian and open policies. How Samsung’s Human Resources Development group responded to this challenge is the subject of this case study. You should read and analyze how Samsung sought to preserve their “Samsung Single Spirit” culture through a New Employee Orientation program; then, answer the following posed questions in a paper essay.

QUESTIONS:

1. What were the main reasons why Samsung wanted to utilize NEO per the case details (what did it achieve)?

2. How did globalization, access to the internet and market reforms contribute to the lack of awareness that NEO sought to provide to new hires (created more market forces that new younger hires were influenced by which negated the Samsung culture)?

3. What are some suggestions you might make regarding how Samsung could bridge the generational divide and utilize a new group of diverse employees (utilize concepts from the course that can be applied to this question)? What are some concerns going forward considering the generational divide can be quite substantial between the various groups mentioned in the case?
