Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship 8
8.1 Introduction
Sport is part of the social fabric of society and plays an important role in fostering
ethical behavior. This is evident in Austin (2017: 2) stating that there are “promi-
nent moral failings that exist in and around sport”. Ethics is an important issue in
sport and is constantly changing due to technological advances. The ethics of sport
changes with new knowledge developed about appropriate codes of conduct.
However, ethics is a diverse and debatable topic that needs to be understood
according to type of sport, cultural environment and existence of social problems.
Hervieux and Voltan (2016: 3) define social problems as “socially constructed and
based on conditions and conduct deemed troublesome by individuals and groups”.
In sport there are social problems that create ethical issues, which depend on the
environmental context.
The ethics of sport refers to the ways of regulating behaviours and expected
conduct in games involving physical or mental activity. Sport ethics is a distinctive
discipline that plays an important role in influencing other sport fields and is
entrepreneurial in three main ways. Firstly, through deliberate action about the
need for change and innovative thinking about the role of ethics in sport. This
means that there can be a purposive approach to integrating entrepreneurship in
sport ethics to provide a way to understand future behavior. This involves looking at
actions sport entities are taking in terms of being more proactive about future ethics
issues. In addition, it helps provide a sense of vision about the role ethics plays in
the development of sport. Secondly, there are unplanned or accidental forms of
entrepreneurship in sport ethics. This occurs when inadvertently there are changes
required in the understanding of ethics in sport due to technology advances. As
technology is altering quickly there needs to be societal changes about ethics. This
means often sport ethics is reactive instead of proactive about decisions they make
in terms of regulations. Thirdly, there are evolutionary forms of entrepreneurship in
sport ethics. This means that there are developments about people’s perceptions of
sport ethics in terms of how it is embedded in society. Some beliefs about ethics in

sport are traditional and culturally based that take time to change. However, other
values are tied to the way sport is seen in society.
There is assumption that socially motivated types of sport such as community
and non-profit are ethically sound. This is often not the case due to the strategies and
politics behind the offering of sport to the public. The question at the heart of the
intersection between sport ethics and entrepreneurship is how a ...

Ethical miscues in the 21st century sport industry are more prominent and deliver greater impact than ever before. News outlets now offer programming and content sites specifically dedicated to tracking ethical failures that occur "Outside the Lines." Unfortunately, this unparalleled media exposure aggressively paints sport heroes and the organizations they represent in shades of bad, ugly and reprehensible, replete with distressing coverage of questionable deeds and shameful failures. Negative fallout in sports often becomes the marketer's responsibility when they are called upon to resolve the damage created for their brand. But is there a remedy here? This article takes up this challenge and discusses the nature of ethics in sport business. A literature review is used to refine 15 directions for research that address three related areas. Essentially, these questions (1) the nature of ethical misconduct in sport business and why it can become an important public issue, (2) what it means for a sports marketer to be ethical (i.e., do good), and finally (3) how social expectation and personal conscience play a role in determining responses to ethical dilemmas that practitioners face.

This document discusses several issues related to defining and studying deviance in sports. It notes that forms and causes of deviance are diverse and no single theory can fully explain them. Behavior accepted in sports may be seen as deviant in other contexts. Deviance in sports often involves overconformity to established norms rather than rejection of norms, and training and performance have become medicalized. Theories of conflict, functionalism, and interactionism are discussed in relation to defining deviance. Hypotheses presented suggest deviance is more likely when social bonds normalize risk-taking, athletes are separated from communities, and athletes develop hubris.

The first article, “Concussion in Sport: Conceptual and Ethical issues,” McNamee et al. (2015) affirms that sport injuries, particularly, concussions have prompted ethical debates on their management. The issue seems to generate divisive opinions on how concussions are diagnosed and treated in sports which may in turn harm the well-being of athletes. This article is instrumental to the topic because it provides a comprehensive understanding into how professionals and scientists handle the ethics of managing concussions among athletes while prioritizing their health and career dreams.
The second article, “ Ethical Issues Surrounding Concussions and Player Safety in Professional Ice Hockey,” Caron and Jeffrey (2015), aim to provide effective solutions to dealing with concussions which endanger their safety as well as managing well the ethical issues that arise from such circumstances. This helps to further add knowledge into the number of cases currently documented as well the outcomes of interventions. Additionally, the authors are referring to previous research which helps to establish any correlations between concussions and the relationships and quality of life of athletes.

The document discusses how steroid use in professional sports creates inequality and raises issues of morality. It provides examples from articles of athletes who feel they have to use steroids to compete or perform given the pressure to succeed. Long-term health effects from steroid use can also create inequality when athletes are no longer able to compete professionally due to deteriorating health. Unless steroid use is better regulated, inequality between users and non-users and questions of ethics will persist in professional sports.

Abstract:
The scholarly literature in the ethics field approaches the ethical
management issue in different areas such as accounting, retail, banking,
public institutions or private companies. The subject of sports managers’
ethics is not very well highlighted in the national literature, as "sports
industry" is constantly evolving. Sports have a strong impact on the national
culture, influencing the values of millions of spectators and participants. The
definition of sports given by the Council of Europe is "all forms of physical
activity which, through more or less organized participation, aim at
expressing or improving physical and psychological condition, the
development of social relationships or obtaining positive results in all levels
competitions". In this paper we conducted a study on managerial ethics tools
within sports clubs. The used methodology involved the intersection of the
main current stage of knowledge and the formulation of new judgments. The
study identified and highlighted the major role of the manager of sports clubs
in providing the framework for the manifestation of ethical behaviors.
Keywords: managerial ethics, sport organizations, ethical tools
1. Introduction
Ethics represents the code of
principles and moral values that
governs the behavior of a person or
group, of what is right or wrong. Human
action may fall within one of three
areas, which differ in the amount of
explicit control existing at that level: the
law, the ethics and the free choice of
each individual. Exercised control is
high in law field, decreasing a lot when
talking about individual freedom of
taking decisions about oneself.
Between the two poles, there is the
ethics field, which, although not legally
regulated, has standards of behavior
based on moral values and principles
guiding the behavior of individuals and
organizations. Since ethical standards
are not coded, problems often arise
about what is right.
Another important concept is that
of the ethical dilemma: a situation that
occurs when all alternatives are
considered undesirable due to potential
negative consequences, making difficult
to distinguish between right and wrong.
The individual who must decide in the
situation of an ethical dilemma is known
in the literature as a moral agent. The
manager of sport organizations is that
kind of moral agent, being confronted in
its decision-making and leadership
activity with ethical issues.

The document provides an introduction to sociology of sport and sport theories. It discusses what sociology of sport is, why it is studied, and some key concepts like institutionalization. It also summarizes several major sociological theories used to study sport, including functionalist theory, conflict theory, interactionist theory, critical theories, feminist theories, and figurational theory. The purpose of sociology of sport is to think critically about sport and identify social issues in order to make informed choices and potentially create positive change.
This document discusses the challenges of writing an essay on paying college athletes. It notes that the topic involves exploring legal, ethical, and financial dimensions from various perspectives. Specifically, the legal aspects involve navigating NCAA regulations and policies on amateurism and intellectual property. Ethically, it raises questions about fairness and the balance between academics and athletics. Financially, it requires understanding revenue streams, sponsorship deals, and economic disparities among sports programs. Additionally, the essay must incorporate and balance the viewpoints of athletes, administrators, coaches, and the public on this complex issue. Overall, successfully addressing this multifaceted topic demands thorough research, critical analysis, and clear communication.

Professional boundaries of sports psychologist and solutions to potential problems
Sports psychologists from one of the kind training backgrounds ought to supply services, teach, and conduct studies simplest inside the limitations in their competence. Hence, sports psychology specialists who are not aware of the ethical standards of their career can be involved in malpractice which results in terrible popularity of harming or exploiting the other party (Haberl & Peterson, 2006).
In fact, if sports psychologists violate the ethical rules after which motive harm to their customers, they may be liable to face the tort in shape or risk of the expulsion from the expert associations. It is crucial to observe that experts and those fascinated in implemented recreation psychology are anticipated to take into account of getting to know the specific moral problems which have recently come about in this discipline (Silva, Metzler & Lerner, 2011).
Even as running with athletic teams and sports activities agencies which might always be small groups of individuals, recreation psychologists are necessarily maintained in common touch with athletes, coaches, and management staffs. The trouble derived from this near interaction may also be the look of dual relationships between recreation psychologists and their clients. Commonly, a couple of links may also arise at some point of exercise and intervention in recreation psychology, possibly developing moral dilemmas for concerned events
Even as imparting offerings to those elite athletes, for instance, the Olympic athletes, all of the game psychology specialists regularly have interaction and tour with the groups inside the schooling centers or at the avenue for competitions, in which long-term relationships are constructed up. Practitioners are housed near the athletes, consume meals with the group, attend practices to take a look at, and paintings individually with athletes and coaches.
Meanwhile, individual or group consulting and training offerings are furnished with the aid of game psychology practitioners, such as arousal law, purpose placing, imagery, attention, management, and so forth. Majority of sport psychology professionals are possible to be employed in a few kinds of college putting, wherein the instructor-practitioner dual-position relationships might also arise more often than in different expert realms (Haberl & Peterson, 2006).
However, the downside of this relationship has been observed that the sports psychology professional can also encounter time regulations from acting two separate roles. This time drawback may additionally, in the end, compel the character to sacrifice the time necessary to obtain the obligations of b.
This document summarizes a dissertation on the importance of fair play in competitive settings. It begins by discussing how commercialization has increased pressure on athletes to win at all costs. It then examines the concepts of formal and informal fair play. Formal fair play relates to adherence to official rules, while informal fair play concerns virtues like respect between competitors. The document uses Lance Armstrong's doping scandal as an example of breaking formal fair play. It also discusses badminton players being disqualified at the 2012 Olympics for failing to compete in the proper sporting spirit, violating informal fair play. The dissertation argues that while some unfair play may be inevitable, athletes still have a moral responsibility to uphold an ethos that values fair competition, especially as
This document discusses law, physical education, and sports. It provides an overview of the legal framework in the Philippines related to these areas. Sports and physical education are governed by laws and regulations to promote fairness, safety, and integrity. Recent legal issues in Philippine sports highlight the need for robust legal frameworks to protect athlete rights and prevent problems like doping scandals. The document recommends stakeholders work together to strengthen the intersection of law, physical education, and sports through enhanced regulations, school programs, and infrastructure investments.
A framework for athletes' rights and human rights in sportsaliathletesforum
This document summarizes discussions from the Ali Center's 4th annual Athletes and Social Change Forum on creating a declaration for human rights in sports. The vision presented is for a sport that honors the human rights of all participants globally through inclusive decision-making and consistent, fair application of rules both on and off the field. A framework is proposed for athletes' rights that could go beyond just athletes to all participants and consider both rights as people and participants. Key questions are raised around implementation strategies, gaining allies, and indicators of success in fully realizing this vision for human rights in sport.

Reading 1-1: Ethics in Sports Communicationjsande6
This document discusses several ethical issues that arise in sports communication. It notes that ethics can be either absolute or relative. There are issues around gambling, drug use, player safety, amateurism in college athletics, and power imbalances between coaches and officials. Other issues include a lack of transparency, player conduct off the field, domestic violence, and controversial public statements. Whistleblowers may confront risks when an organization's ethics differ from their own. Maintaining transparency is challenging given demands for privacy in the social media era.
This document summarizes a literature review on ethics in athletic coaching. It finds that while coaching is a prominent role, there is little formalized ethical training or guidelines for coaches. The review examines key topics in the existing literature, including coach-athlete relationships, balancing ethics and winning, legal responsibilities, and proposals for improved ethics education. While the literature provides insight into coaches' perspectives, more empirical research is still needed due to a lack of quantitative studies. Overall, the review finds that establishing universal ethical guidelines and improved training could help address ethical issues in coaching.
STUDY OF SPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CREATIVE INDUSTRYectijjournal
The emergence of the sports phenomenon is closely related to the process of communication. Sport is a
social phenomenon that accomplishes a variety of tasks. The integrity and popularity of sport guide the
birth and development of the sports industry which unites all human activities. The sports industry changes
with changing social and technological developments. The aim is to meet the needs of society at various
levels (personal, group, social, national and international). Sport helps solve personal growth tasks.
Analysis of the basic elements of sport and the sports industry makes it possible to assess their importance
and determine the stages of development of the sports industry. Sport phenomena and related fields require
in-depth research, including seemingly unrelated fields (e.g. education, physiology, psychology, law,
economics, culture, technology), sport. Visualization in this case is used as a variable that is represented
by various screens including; Observe all phenomena in the world of sport, including communication,
industry, behavior and interpersonal patterns. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative
method. Another qualitative research tool in this study is data collection through observation and research
on the subject. Reality shows that today's global social changes cause changes in values and goals in
sports. Sport has changed from just a physical activity to become an integral part of modern life in today's
society. Changes in sport content and goals lead to a growing relationship with the creative process, which
encourages greater integration between the creative fields and sport.

AUTOTROPHS & HETEROTROPHS
Autotrophs make their own food using energy they get directly from the environment, and carbon from inorganic sources such as CO
2
. By metabolic pathways of photosynthesis, plants and other autotrophs capture the energy of light and use it to build sugars from water and carbon dioxide. Heterotrophs get energy and carbon molecules from molecules that other organisms have already assembled.
Earth's early atmosphere held very little free oxygen, and chemoautotrophs were common. When the noncyclic pathway of photosynthesis evolved, oxygen released by photoautotrophs permanently changed the atmosphere, and it was a selective force that favored evolution of aerobic respiration. Photoautotrophs remove CO
2
from the atmosphere; the metabolic activity of most organisms puts it back. Human activities disrupt this cycle by adding extra CO
2
to the atmosphere. The resulting imbalance is contributing to global warming.
Can you do some additional research and find at least one specific heterotroph?

THE EVOLUTION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Life theoretically originated on Earth 3.4 to 4 billion years ago. The atmosphere was thin: composed of methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Any gaseous oxygen had been used up in the combustion (or oxidation) of materials when the Earth was very hot.
The cooling water collected in pools, assimilating nutrients from the rocks. As water evaporated, the nutrients concentrated, forming a rich soup. The first organisms would have lived well off this food source, breaking down the complex molecules into water and carbon dioxide through respiration. Eventually, as life grew, the need arose to somehow re-synthesize complex compounds, both to eat and to use for structure and function. Some organisms learned how to use the Sun's energy to synthesize large molecules from small molecules. Other organisms learned to use other sources of reductive power. These organisms that have learned how to build the building blocks of life are called autotrophs, or self-feeders. Autotrophs are found in the bacterial and plant

My personality has thereby been affected in a number of ways due to the aforementioned prospect. I have since become more organized and artistic due to my increasing creativity--since I have efficacy in visual arts. I have also become more mature, since I am always paying attention to my surroundings and what other people are thinking of me. However many benefits have come around, there are as many negative factors that have affected my personality. As described above, I am always affected by my social anxiety as well as always wanting to be in isolation as a result.
The people who have shaped my personality the most over the span of fifteen years are my parents. I have never acquainted myself with others during my schooling career, in which I would always join friend groups since I would be able to blend within the mix. My mother has allowed me to become more diligent over the span of a few years thereby allowing me to become more vulnerable as well as being independent.

Abstract:
The scholarly literature in the ethics field approaches the ethical
management issue in different areas such as accounting, retail, banking,
public institutions or private companies. The subject of sports managers’
ethics is not very well highlighted in the national literature, as "sports
industry" is constantly evolving. Sports have a strong impact on the national
culture, influencing the values of millions of spectators and participants. The
definition of sports given by the Council of Europe is "all forms of physical
activity which, through more or less organized participation, aim at
expressing or improving physical and psychological condition, the
development of social relationships or obtaining positive results in all levels
competitions". In this paper we conducted a study on managerial ethics tools
within sports clubs. The used methodology involved the intersection of the
main current stage of knowledge and the formulation of new judgments. The
study identified and highlighted the major role of the manager of sports clubs
in providing the framework for the manifestation of ethical behaviors.
Keywords: managerial ethics, sport organizations, ethical tools
1. Introduction
Ethics represents the code of
principles and moral values that
governs the behavior of a person or
group, of what is right or wrong. Human
action may fall within one of three
areas, which differ in the amount of
explicit control existing at that level: the
law, the ethics and the free choice of
each individual. Exercised control is
high in law field, decreasing a lot when
talking about individual freedom of
taking decisions about oneself.
Between the two poles, there is the
ethics field, which, although not legally
regulated, has standards of behavior
based on moral values and principles
guiding the behavior of individuals and
organizations. Since ethical standards
are not coded, problems often arise
about what is right.
Another important concept is that
of the ethical dilemma: a situation that
occurs when all alternatives are
considered undesirable due to potential
negative consequences, making difficult
to distinguish between right and wrong.
The individual who must decide in the
situation of an ethical dilemma is known
in the literature as a moral agent. The
manager of sport organizations is that
kind of moral agent, being confronted in
its decision-making and leadership
activity with ethical issues.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Professional boundaries of sports psychologist and solutions to potential problems
Sports psychologists from one of the kind training backgrounds ought to supply services, teach, and conduct studies simplest inside the limitations in their competence. Hence, sports psychology specialists who are not aware of the ethical standards of their career can be involved in malpractice which results in terrible popularity of harming or exploiting the other party (Haberl & Peterson, 2006).
In fact, if sports psychologists violate the ethical rules after which motive harm to their customers, they may be liable to face the tort in shape or risk of the expulsion from the expert associations. It is crucial to observe that experts and those fascinated in implemented recreation psychology are anticipated to take into account of getting to know the specific moral problems which have recently come about in this discipline (Silva, Metzler & Lerner, 2011).
Even as running with athletic teams and sports activities agencies which might always be small groups of individuals, recreation psychologists are necessarily maintained in common touch with athletes, coaches, and management staffs. The trouble derived from this near interaction may also be the look of dual relationships between recreation psychologists and their clients. Commonly, a couple of links may also arise at some point of exercise and intervention in recreation psychology, possibly developing moral dilemmas for concerned events
Even as imparting offerings to those elite athletes, for instance, the Olympic athletes, all of the game psychology specialists regularly have interaction and tour with the groups inside the schooling centers or at the avenue for competitions, in which long-term relationships are constructed up. Practitioners are housed near the athletes, consume meals with the group, attend practices to take a look at, and paintings individually with athletes and coaches.
Meanwhile, individual or group consulting and training offerings are furnished with the aid of game psychology practitioners, such as arousal law, purpose placing, imagery, attention, management, and so forth. Majority of sport psychology professionals are possible to be employed in a few kinds of college putting, wherein the instructor-practitioner dual-position relationships might also arise more often than in different expert realms (Haberl & Peterson, 2006).
However, the downside of this relationship has been observed that the sports psychology professional can also encounter time regulations from acting two separate roles. This time drawback may additionally, in the end, compel the character to sacrifice the time necessary to obtain the obligations of b.
This document summarizes a dissertation on the importance of fair play in competitive settings. It begins by discussing how commercialization has increased pressure on athletes to win at all costs. It then examines the concepts of formal and informal fair play. Formal fair play relates to adherence to official rules, while informal fair play concerns virtues like respect between competitors. The document uses Lance Armstrong's doping scandal as an example of breaking formal fair play. It also discusses badminton players being disqualified at the 2012 Olympics for failing to compete in the proper sporting spirit, violating informal fair play. The dissertation argues that while some unfair play may be inevitable, athletes still have a moral responsibility to uphold an ethos that values fair competition, especially as
This document discusses law, physical education, and sports. It provides an overview of the legal framework in the Philippines related to these areas. Sports and physical education are governed by laws and regulations to promote fairness, safety, and integrity. Recent legal issues in Philippine sports highlight the need for robust legal frameworks to protect athlete rights and prevent problems like doping scandals. The document recommends stakeholders work together to strengthen the intersection of law, physical education, and sports through enhanced regulations, school programs, and infrastructure investments.
A framework for athletes' rights and human rights in sportsaliathletesforum
This document summarizes discussions from the Ali Center's 4th annual Athletes and Social Change Forum on creating a declaration for human rights in sports. The vision presented is for a sport that honors the human rights of all participants globally through inclusive decision-making and consistent, fair application of rules both on and off the field. A framework is proposed for athletes' rights that could go beyond just athletes to all participants and consider both rights as people and participants. Key questions are raised around implementation strategies, gaining allies, and indicators of success in fully realizing this vision for human rights in sport.

Reading 1-1: Ethics in Sports Communicationjsande6
This document discusses several ethical issues that arise in sports communication. It notes that ethics can be either absolute or relative. There are issues around gambling, drug use, player safety, amateurism in college athletics, and power imbalances between coaches and officials. Other issues include a lack of transparency, player conduct off the field, domestic violence, and controversial public statements. Whistleblowers may confront risks when an organization's ethics differ from their own. Maintaining transparency is challenging given demands for privacy in the social media era.
This document summarizes a literature review on ethics in athletic coaching. It finds that while coaching is a prominent role, there is little formalized ethical training or guidelines for coaches. The review examines key topics in the existing literature, including coach-athlete relationships, balancing ethics and winning, legal responsibilities, and proposals for improved ethics education. While the literature provides insight into coaches' perspectives, more empirical research is still needed due to a lack of quantitative studies. Overall, the review finds that establishing universal ethical guidelines and improved training could help address ethical issues in coaching.
STUDY OF SPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CREATIVE INDUSTRYectijjournal
The emergence of the sports phenomenon is closely related to the process of communication. Sport is a
social phenomenon that accomplishes a variety of tasks. The integrity and popularity of sport guide the
birth and development of the sports industry which unites all human activities. The sports industry changes
with changing social and technological developments. The aim is to meet the needs of society at various
levels (personal, group, social, national and international). Sport helps solve personal growth tasks.
Analysis of the basic elements of sport and the sports industry makes it possible to assess their importance
and determine the stages of development of the sports industry. Sport phenomena and related fields require
in-depth research, including seemingly unrelated fields (e.g. education, physiology, psychology, law,
economics, culture, technology), sport. Visualization in this case is used as a variable that is represented
by various screens including; Observe all phenomena in the world of sport, including communication,
industry, behavior and interpersonal patterns. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative
method. Another qualitative research tool in this study is data collection through observation and research
on the subject. Reality shows that today's global social changes cause changes in values and goals in
sports. Sport has changed from just a physical activity to become an integral part of modern life in today's
society. Changes in sport content and goals lead to a growing relationship with the creative process, which
encourages greater integration between the creative fields and sport.

Since my elementary school career, I have drastically changed as a result of being exposed to more anxiety-provoking tasks. My personality has thereby been affected in a number of ways due to the aforementioned prospect. I have since become more organized and artistic due to my increasing creativity--since I have efficacy in visual arts. I have also become more mature, since I am always paying attention to my surroundings and what other people are thinking of me. However many benefits have come around, there are as many negative factors that have affected my personality. As described above, I am always affected by my social anxiety as well as always wanting to be in isolation as a result.
The people who have shaped my personality the most over the span of fifteen years are my parents. I have never acquainted myself with others during my schooling career, in which I would always join friend groups since I would be able to blend within the mix. My mother has allowed me to become more diligent over the span of a few years thereby allowing me to become more vulnerable as well as being independent. My mother also got me in the habit of practicing mindfulness and meditation--since she is a Zen psychologist. This in effect has also improved my mental health. As for my father, he would always follow up with my mother on such activities since he had also experienced loneliness in his working environment. While both myself and my father were going through such rigorous training, we were able to improve upon ourselves as well as monitoring each other during the process.
While I have many similarities to that of my father, my personality type closely resembles that of my mother. This is so since we both have similar mindsets and ideologies, her art also closely resembles that of my own. All the more, she developed in a similar form and fashion to that of my upbringing in which she also had anxiety in abundance while eventually being able to overcome such factors--a process that I have endured myself.
I believe that my anxiety is deeply rooted in the essence of who I am as a human being which has been given to me by both my mother and father. Both experienced separate levels of trepidation, one had social anxiety while the other was agoraphobic for a time. Another factor relates to my emotional intelligence, which was inherently given to me by my mo.

Major Paper #2--The Personal Narrative EssayA narrative is simpl.docxBetseyCalderon89
Major Paper #2--The Personal Narrative Essay
A narrative is simply a story. A personal narrative is a true story, focusing largely on the writer’s own life.
For Essay #2, the Personal Narrative, you will be writing a short essay (at least 3-4 pages in length) about a significant event in your own life. This event need not --and probably should not--be inherently, overly dramatic. Sometimes the most influential moments in our lives are smaller moments, events that we may not recognize as influential until years after the experience. In the personal narrative essay, you will want to tell the story as accurately as you can—search your deep memory—and tell the story from your own perspective. You will also want to exercise your selectivity as a writer, choosing to summarize background information/exposition, and really dramatize important scenes for the reader.
During the course of this unit, you will want to read the examples of the Personal Narrative in Chapter 2. You will want to start brainstorming ideas for your own personal narrative, and--by the end of Unit 5--you will want to have selected a significant event that you wish to focus on in this essay.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Elements of Story: Plot, Character, Setting, Dialogue The following four terms (plot, character, setting, and dialogue) are the four major elements of story. In other words, these are all essentials for your personal narrative.
1.) PLOT: A plot is a pattern of events or actions that lead to a change in a character or situation. In the case of this assignment, the plot of your essay should be limited to a key event or series of events that actually occurred in your real life, and resulted in some sort of change in your character, your relationships with others, your worldview, or your situation. Plot also always includes some kind of tension or conflict. This conflict may be external, between two people (for instance, a fist-fight with your brother, or a disagreement with your mother). In contrast, the conflict may be purely internal (for instance, a conflict between what you desire and your sense of morality). By the end of your essay, we should have some sense that the conflict has been dealt with somehow, if not entirely resolved.
2.) CHARACTER: A character is any person depicted on the page. We often think of characters in terms of fiction, characters “made-up” or “invented” by the author to further the story or illustrate a point. Even in fiction, however, characters are often based on real-life people. In your narrative essay, you yourself will become a character—even though you must remain true to the facts of your life, personality, etc.—just because you will be reproducing yourself on the page. As a readers, we’ll want to get a sense of who you are as a character on the page in the course of your essay. By the end of the essay, we will also want to know why/how your experience was significant. How did it change you?

Major Paper #1-The Point of View Essay Deadline October 29, 2.docxBetseyCalderon89
Major Paper #1-The Point of View Essay
Deadline: October 29, 2015 at 11:59 pm
Purpose:
This paper assignment has several purposes. As the first major paper for this class, the Point of View Essay is designed to re-engage you with the fundamentals of all good writing, including using lush sensory details to show the reader a particular place (rather than tell them about it), basic organization, clear focus, etc. However, this unit does not function as a mere review. The Point of View Essay will also introduce you to the concept of "thinking and seeing rhetorically, and analyzing writing rhetorically"--using the Writer's Toolbox described in this unit to improve your writing and critical reading skills. Finally, the Point of View Essay allows you to reflect on this process.
The Assignment:
1. Pleasant/Unpleasant Description of the Place:
Choose a place you can observe for an extended period of time (at least 20-30 minutes). Use all of your senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, even taste if possible) to experience the place, and record all of the sensations that you experience. As you record your data, you may wish to note which details naturally seem more positive, negative, or neutral, in terms of tone. (For instance, a stinky and overflowing trash barrel swarming with flies in a nearby alley might seem more inherently negative than a little white bunny rabbit hopping playfully across the lawn.) Then, you will use this information to help your write descriptions of the place: one positive, one negative. Both descriptions should be factually true (same real time and real place), but you will want one description to be positive in terms of tone and the other to be negative. In addition to including the information and sensory details you've collected as the basis for these descriptions, you will also use the Writer's Toolbox to create your two contrasting impressions for this assignment. (The Writer's Toolbox is explained in the Lecture Notes section of this unit.) As you revise and refine your descriptions, please be sure you are "showing" your readers your place (really putting the readers "there" in the moment and in this scene), rather than simply "telling" them about it. You will also want to try to eliminate unnecessary linking verbs as much as you can, incorporating verbs that show "action" whenever possible.
2. Rhetorical Analysis:
Looking back at your descriptions, analyze how you created these two very different impressions of the place (one positive, one negative) without changing any of the facts. How did you make your place seem so positive in one paragraph and yet so negative in the other paragraph, without changing the facts? Discuss how you incorporated each of the tools from the Writer's Toolbox, and cite examples of this from each of your descriptions. (This analysis should be at least 400-500 words in length.)
3. Reflection:
In one to two paragraphs, cnsider at least one of the following questions.
Maintenance and TroubleshootingDescribe the maintenance procedures.docxBetseyCalderon89

Maintaining the Loyalty of Stakeholders
To maintain political, governmental, staff, and patient loyalty, the healthcare organization must provide a sense of organizational stability and view of the legislative landscape. In Chapters 14 and 15 we have researched and investigated the need to align both public opinion with staff trust. The political landscape is the basis for healthcare policy, guidance, state, local, and community support (both fiscal and legal) engaging in political trade-offs to stabilize the healthcare industry (such as in the cost, pharmaceuticals, insurance premiums, and organizational ROI in the healthcare industry). Healthcare organizations must provide the necessary guidance and advocacy for stakeholders in the setting of both state and federal legislature as a voice of reason, authority, and integrity. Provide information on the following:
Research a policy associated with the Affordable Care Act in your home state or another state that may affect healthcare reform and/or the way health care is provided in the chosen state.
Describe the policy and who wrote and/or promoted the policy legislature (provide statistical data).
What are the trade-offs offered to bring balance to the healthcare stakeholders?
What role have public perception and disinterestedness played in the valuation of healthcare performance?
Describe how process innovation, risk taking, health policy analysis, and governance “sense-making” provide balance for stakeholders.

Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship 88.1 IntroductionSpo
1. Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship 8
8.1 Introduction
Sport is part of the social fabric of society and plays an
important role in fostering
ethical behavior. This is evident in Austin (2017: 2) stating that
there are “promi-
nent moral failings that exist in and around sport”. Ethics is an
important issue in
sport and is constantly changing due to technological advances.
The ethics of sport
changes with new knowledge developed about appropriate codes
of conduct.
However, ethics is a diverse and debatable topic that needs to
be understood
according to type of sport, cultural environment and existence
of social problems.
Hervieux and Voltan (2016: 3) define social problems as
“socially constructed and
based on conditions and conduct deemed troublesome by
individuals and groups”.
In sport there are social problems that create ethical issues,
2. which depend on the
environmental context.
The ethics of sport refers to the ways of regulating behaviours
and expected
conduct in games involving physical or mental activity. Sport
ethics is a distinctive
discipline that plays an important role in influencing other sport
fields and is
entrepreneurial in three main ways. Firstly, through deliberate
action about the
need for change and innovative thinki ng about the role of ethics
in sport. This
means that there can be a purposive approach to integrating
entrepreneurship in
sport ethics to provide a way to understand future behavior.
This involves looking at
actions sport entities are taking in terms of being more
proactive about future ethics
issues. In addition, it helps provide a sense of vision about the
role ethics plays in
the development of sport. Secondly, there are unplanned or
accidental forms of
entrepreneurship in sport ethics. This occurs when inadvertently
there are changes
3. required in the understanding of ethics in sport due to
technology advances. As
technology is altering quickly there needs to be societal changes
about ethics. This
means often sport ethics is reactive instead of proactive about
decisions they make
in terms of regulations. Thirdly, there are evolutionary forms of
entrepreneurship in
sport ethics. This means that there are developments about
people’s perceptions of
sport ethics in terms of how it is embedded in society. Some
beliefs about ethics in

sport are traditional and culturally based that take time to
change. However, other
values are tied to the way sport is seen in society.
There is assumption that socially motivated types of sport such
as community
4. and non-profit are ethically sound. This is often not the case
due to the strategies and
politics behind the offering of sport to the public. The question
at the heart of the
intersection between sport ethics and entrepreneurship is how
are sport ethics
evolving based on entrepreneurship? In this chapter I argue that
ethics in sport is
fundamentally entrepreneurial. The goal of this chapter is to
bring entrepreneurship
into the sports ethics literature. Thus, in this chapter I focus on
sport ethics from an
entrepreneurship perspective and anticipate this field will
develop in the future. In
this chapter there is an overview of sport ethics that then is
linked to entrepreneur-
ship. The chapter begins by providing a summary of key sport
ethics issues and
doing so opens the field up to an integration of entrepreneurship
perspectives. I
hope that this chapter is only the beginning of an ongoing
discussion about
entrepreneurship and sport ethics thereby fostering more work
on the intersection
5. of sport ethics and entrepreneurship. In this chapter, I go
beyond just looking at
sport ethics and entrepreneurship as disparate fields but by
providing a more
integrated approach into how they affect each other. The
chapter ends by presenting
some suggestions about future directions concerning
entrepreneurship and sport
ethics.
8.2 Ethics
Ethics is a controversial topic as its definition changes
according to context. Some
people view ethics as a minor issue due to the need to
outperform competitors at any
cost in sport. This leads to ethical misconduct view ed as
mistakes rather than
conscious action. In addition, unethical action can be viewed as
necessary for the
teams benefit. The way ethics is perceived is constantly
changing and is a fluid
concept. There are challenges in managing ethics in sport due to
the reliance on
self-reporting and peer pressure. Whilst some unethical
6. behavior such as cheating
or doping can be tested it can depend on the timing and
availability of regulators to
enforce it. This was evident with Lance Armstrong the multiple
winner of the Tour
de France bike race who constantly kept hidden his unethical
behavior. There was
also discussion with Lance Armstrong how other cyclists were
doing the same thing
so the question became whether it was really cheating. The
controversy of Lance
Armstrong meant there were unethical judgments on his
previous performances that
might have been ethically sound but nonetheless were perceived
as cheating. This
leads to it being difficult to evaluate ethics in sport and the
ramifications of
unethical conduct.
The demands of high performance sport and electronic
participation in sport
require a new way of understanding ethical behavior. There are
different reasons in
sport why people adhere to certain obligations and this depends
on the type of sport
7. under investigation. Shogun and Ford (2000: 52) states in sport
“participants may
abide by rules because coerced, to maintain an image as a
‘good’ competitor, for
112 8 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship
experience, or because of a desire to honour a perceived
agreement with
competitors”. The reasons for ethical conduct link to the notion
of sport being an
activity that favours fairness in competition. The fairness
depends on the type of
sport in terms of whether it is regulated or unregulated. In
regulated sports there are
rules of the game that are needed and help compare
performance. This includes tacit
or unwritten rules about appropriate behavior in sport. Thus,
natural competition
ensures the best person or team wins in sport. Unregulated sport
also has moral
obligations due to the informal nature of the competition. This
can also include
competition with oneself rather than others in sport. In addition,
8. there are unethical
values found in sport that are part of the culture. This i ncludes
playing against
unequal opponents when the chance of having a fair game is
low. This creates moral
dilemmas in sport, which are an important element of ethical
management
practices.
8.3 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship
There needs to be a more fluid understanding about the
interaction of entrepreneur-
ship and sport ethics as they have practical implications. This is
the result of there
being pressing issues that need to be discussed in terms of
entrepreneurship and
sport ethics that will influence the future scholarship
concerning sport entrepreneur-
ship. It is surprising that little research has connected
entrepreneurship to sport
ethics, since it influences change in the sport industry.
Entrepreneurship in the
forms of new businesses are featured prominently in discussions
around sport
9. ethics. However, there is a gap in the sport literature in
combining ethics issues to
entrepreneurship.
Chell et al. (2016: 623) states “entrepreneurship has been
bedeviled with myths”.
These myths impact ethical issues in entrepreneurship as there
are assumptions
made that often might not be relevant to current society.
Entrepreneurship in sport
ethics involves considering new types and reasons of behavior
based on emerging
trends. Whilst research might consider entrepreneurship as a
newcomer to the field
of sport ethics, it has been an important influencer of activity.
Ethics in a way is
fundamentally about change, which is at the core of
entrepreneurships research.
Moreover, the expansion in entrepreneurship research has
coincided with an
increase in sport ethics studies but they have typically been
seen as disparate and
unrelated fields. There is more sport policy concerning ethics
and initiatives around
diversity and gender equality in sport.
10. Sport entrepreneurship has not received much academic
attention until only
recently. Sports that are unregulated often have rogue behavior
and encourage
unethical conduct. Sport has been commended for ignoring race
and religion in
the pursuit of a fairer playing field but there is still some degree
of discrimination in
the form of unethical conduct. This means that some sports
particularly adventure
sports pride themselves on their risk taking activity and
propensity to push
boundaries. For this reason, whilst adventure sports have
become more regulated
there is still the perception that unethical behavior is part of the
sport. This means
that some sports are open avenues to unethical conduct due to
their link to
8.3 Ethics and Sport Entreprene urship 113
performance. Thus, a distinguishing feature of entrepreneurship
is the ability to
integrate innovativeness in the sport context. Russell and
11. Faulkner (2004) discuss
how entrepreneurship is a form of chaos in the lifestyle of
certain industries. This
means that the sport industry utilizes entrepreneurship as a way
to link risky activity
to the pursuit of business ventures. Risk often involves ethical
questions about the
appropriate form of behavior given the circumstances.
To date, there has been a lack of research about sport ethics and
entrepreneurship,
which implies there is an ample opportunity for more research
on this topic. It is
interesting to see whether there are noticeable differences
between sport entrepreneurs
and other types of entrepreneurs in terms of their ethical
behavior. There might be a
need to stimulate more ethical conduct amongst sport
entrepreneurs. Thus by
integrating an entrepreneurial perspective into sport ethics it
can yield a more integrated
understanding of the field. This will help support more ethical
business conduct
amongst sport entrepreneurs.
12. Entrepreneurs are a core component of the sport industry. The
future of the sport
industry is based on ethical conduct so it is important to
understand the behaviours
of entrepreneurs. Sport entrepreneurship is a distinctive field of
entrepreneurship
that demands a special approach to ethics. Although there has
been research on
ethics and sport, little research has focused on entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship
involves behavior concerning business activity. Thus, the
process of entrepreneur-
ship involves interpreting the environment and its effects on
individuals and
society. Currently ethics in sport is focused on the management
literature with little
linkage to entrepreneurship. This has inhibited a more holistic
understanding of the
role entrepreneurship plays in sport ethics.
Edgar (2013: 1) states that sport provides a way “metaphysical
and normative
problems are articulated”. This is due to sport being part of the
culture and having
an impact on society conditions. Sport has typically been
13. governed by rules and
physical activity although some sports instead utilize mental
fitness (Edgar 2013).
The sport industry has a large degree of economic and social
power that means it
should have ethical responsibilities. In addition, due to its
impact on communities it
has a moral duty to ensure ethical conduct. This is important as
ethics involves
consideration about business strategy and decisions making in
sport.
Often sport is conducted through actions that are interpreted by
players. This
means that rather than verbal communication the emphasis in
sport is on physical
action. The actual playing of sport involves non-verbal
communication but the
commentary is mostly verbally-based. Edgar (2013: 8) states
that sport “takes the
materials, ideas and fundamental experiences of our cultural
existence, and plays
with them”. This means that sport is a cultural aspect that
involves unwritten rules
that are based on the cultural context of the environment.
14. There needs to be new interpretations of sport ethics based on
changing technol-
ogy and needs of society. This means entrepreneurship can
provide a way to
revitalize sports ethics to make it more progressive. Sport
organizations need to
use more entrepreneurial approaches in their dealings with sport
ethics. A way to do
this is to include more proactive strategies rather than have a
passive stance towards
ethics. This can include anticipating trends and issues in sport
that will cause ethical
dilemmas.
114 8 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship
Sport is viewed as pure when there is a no artificial interference
from other
sources. At the heart of ethics in sport is the role of equal
opportunities. Konig
(1995: 249) defines equal opportunities as “the equal position of
both athletes
before the competition with the same changes to win, despite
the intended equality
15. after the competition brought about by the code of
victory/defeat”. These equal
opportunities have been hampered by unethical conduct in sport
such as cheating
and doping. The forms of unethical conduct can be formal and
informal depending
on the circumstances. Formal ethical violations include match
tampering by
officials or umpires whilst informal include the taking of
banned substances.
Performance improvement is the aim of most unethical conduct
and this is
influenced by technological innovation. Thus, sport regulators
need to take an
entrepreneurship approach in terms of how they handle
unethical conduct. How-
ever, it can be hard to evaluate ethics in sport due to constant
change from new
medical and scientific advancements.
As sport management scholars have started to incorporate more
ethics into their
research, they have in turn contributed to an improved
understanding of the role of
16. sport in society. The field of sport ethics has experienced
significant growth that has
coincided with more general interest about ethical issues such
as corporate social
responsibility and environmental management. This has led to
more research on
sport ethics focusing on initiatives around sustainability that
today are more
strategically important for sport organizations. As part of the
increased interest in
business ethics there are some promising new research areas
linking it to entre-
preneurship. Whilst past research looked at sport ethics,
business and entrepreneur-
ship as separate research areas, this chapter will propose
combining theme for
future enquiry. This includes using entrepreneurial thinking to
maximize the poten-
tial of sport ethics in terms of its relevance for business. In
addition, it
acknowledges that sport can be used as a strategic vehicle to
implement better
business ethics principles. Thereby, enabling a closer sport
management link
17. between ethics and entrepreneurship that can contribute to
academic discourse.
The impact of entrepreneurship in sport management in terms of
the ethical
issues is brings has received scant scholarly attention. New
technology and less
reliance on public funding in sport have meant that sport
organizations are under
more pressure to be competitive. This is evident in the limited
time and resources
available to sport organizations to come up with new ideas.
Many areas of a sport
organization concern ethics from sponsorship of sport stadiums
to the use of
taxpayer money. Thus, the combination of both public and
private finance in
sport gives rise to a number of ethical challenges. Some areas of
sport particularly
non-profit organizations face scrutiny about how to grow in an
ethical manner.
Sometimes there are forced ethics measures and implications of
ethics in sport
due to regulations. This enables sport organizations to navigate
ethics by adjusting
18. their management practices. Thus, ethics in sport involves
individuals questioning
its relevance in contemporary society. Sport ethics is a result of
the morals and
expected behavior required in society. In times of economic
uncertainty the role of
ethics in sport is exacerbated due to financial concerns. The
austerity measures
caused by the global financial crisis of 2008 are still evident in
the ethical guidelines
of sport organizations (Parnell et al. 2017).
8.3 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship 115
Dey and Steyaert (2016: 627) states “ethics has had a dubious
career in the
domain of entrepreneurship studies”. This is due to the
perception by many of
entrepreneurship as being unethical as it involves risk taking.
However, entre-
preneurship can and should be ethical as it relates to business
practices. There has
been an increase in studies linking entrepreneurship to ethics
due to the need for
19. business to behave in a socially responsible manner.
Entrepreneurship often
involves value creation and enables better work prospects. For
this reason,
sub-fields of entrepreneurship such as social and women’s
entrepreneurship tend
to emphasise more ethics issues. Social entrepreneurship
combines both non-profit
and profit objectives in a business endeavour. Hence, there is an
overt linkage with
ethics in social entrepreneurship due to the acknowledgement of
the need to help
disadvantaged members of society.
Increasingly business is marketing its social initiatives in
activities as a way to
highlight their social role. This helps with businesses that need
to report their social
indicators to be part of industry groups. There are also negative
connotations
between entrepreneurship and ethics that are evident
particularly in public policy
reports. This has meant ethics has been viewed skeptically in
entrepreneurship
studies due to the need for business to focus on financial gain at
20. the expense of
social needs (Dey and Steyaert 2016). When a business starts a
new venture there is
often a power play involved particularly with large businesses.
This means that
large businesses or multinationals can have more power in the
market due to their
existing relationships. In emerging and developing economies
there has been some
criticism of the ethical practices of large businesses in terms of
entrepreneurship.
This is due to many large businesses being from developed
countries and having a
different culture. This creates ethical issues in terms of the
businesses they are
developing in countries outside their home market. Part of this
perception is
subjective as there are different connotations on what is
considered moral behavior.
Entrepreneurship has been typically about business development
that involves
change, which can be viewed negatively. Often government
policy or help is
needed in entrepreneurial business ventures that create ethics
21. issues when bribery
is involved. Moreover, the lobbying of government officials for
support on business
ventures is viewed by some as being unethical.
Ethics involves behavior that can be subjective and influenced
by environmental
constraints. In the sport context ethics is practiced through the
actions of athletes,
coaches and managers. This involves action that when
conducted in a creative and
proactive way exhibits signs of entrepreneurial leadership. Part
of the process of
ethics involves criticizing or reviewing past behavior as a way
to conduct better
actions in the future. Existing relationships in sport need to be
managed in terms of
ethical behavior as the actions of others can have flow on
effects.
There is a team structure evident in many sports, which means
the ethical conduct
of one person will affect others. The knowledge a person has
about events or
circumstances influences their ethical behavior. There is debate
about the parameters
22. of ethical conduct in sport due to differences in opinion about
what constitutes ethics.
The foundations of sport are built around ethics but there is a
continuum of good to
bad ethical practices. Traditionally most of the ethics violations
in sport occurred at
the individual level but they can also occur at the team level.
This occurred with the
116 8 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship
New England Patriots who were accused of spying on the field
plays of another
football team. In their case the use of cameras to record the
plays of another football
team was considered unethical. However, the response from the
National Football
League to this conduct was considered by some as not being
hard enough given the
impact of the conduct on the performance of the team. This
means that it is often hard
to penalize unethical conduct in sport as there is some
uncertainty about the effects it
has on performance.
23. There are many moral issues associated with ethics in sport.
Recently Colin
Kaepernik in the National Football League knelt during the
playing of the American
anthem in protest of racism in sport. This action was copied by
others in different
sports as a form of protect against racial conduct both in sport
but also non sport
activities. There has been some debate about the use of sport to
protest against
racism, gender inequality and other issues. In addition, the use
of sport to market
products such as alcohol and gambling has been raised as an
ethical issue by some
sport policy analysts. This is due to the role sport has in
people’s lives especially
young people who may be more susceptible to marketing
campaigns. In the past
cigarette advertising was used extensively in sport including
through sponsorship
agreements and billboard advertising. Now cigarette advertising
in banned in many
sports where it was previously a source of revenue including
cricket events. Benson
24. and Hedges a cigarette company previously sponsored cricket
events in Australia
but this has since ceased. Some sports utilized anti-smoking
campaigns sponsored
by the government in their advertising. An example is the Quit
campaign by the
Victorian government in Australia to encourage people to stop
smoking by promot-
ing it at the Bells beach surfing context. In the National
Football League there has
also been the use of athletes to provide anti-violence towards
women campaigns. As
athletes are often viewed highly in society their endorsements
about certain practices
can have a big effect.
Recognition about entrepreneurial ethical behavior in sport has
emerged belat-
edly in the academic literature. The differing kinds of ethical
conduct in sport are
evident in the Olympics, which promotes the event as bring
together different types
of sport with international participation. The positive impacts
are in terms of
25. promoting sport as a vehicle for international peace and
collaboration but there
are negative side effects from the politics involved in hosting
the event. The Rio de
Janeiro Olympics of 2016 enabled more attention placed on
Brazil but the side
effects included the displacement of communities to make way
for the building of
new stadiums.
Sport organizations vary in how much they emphasise ethics,
which is consid-
ered as appropriate behavior given moral and societal duties.
Some sport
organizations such as community or non-profit are focused
almost exclusively on
ethical ways to conduct sport. This is the result of ethics being
a byproduct of sport
and an easy way to encourage a more open and inclusive
society. Sport is seen by
some as a language or form of communication. This means that
conduct in sport
will be viewed as a way to influence positively other parts of
society. Sport
entrepreneurs apply ethical principles to many of the challenges
26. they face in the
marketplace. Entrepreneurial ethics is a way sport can adapt to
the market but also
create social value.
8.3 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship 117
Sport when it is ethically managed has the potential to
contribute to a more
harmonious society. Increasing attention is directed towards
ethics in sport and its
importance in affecting other parts of society. It has been
emphasized that the
appraising of ethical guidelines in sport can be difficult due to
different
conceptualizations of what is ethical conduct. This means that
ethics is inherently
entrepreneurial due to its changing nature and role in sport.
Ethical conduct is
required in sport because rules and guidelines must be followed
as part of fair play.
The backdrop of competition in sport, encompassing a gap
between performing and
non-performing clubs has implications for entrepreneurial
27. ethics. There are often
cultural conditions that affect the ability of some sport teams to
behave ethically.
The intention of entrepreneurial ethics is to assist sport clubs
and athletes perform
within guidelines. Thus, the aim is to bestow sport clubs with
the ability to utilize
ethics in a positive way.
Sport practitioners need to value ethics due to the potential
effects it can have on
athlete and team moral. Some sports are more prone to ethical
questions particularly
those concerning animals. Horse racing is amongst the most
popular sports but some
animal rights activists suggest that it includes unethical conduct
due to the treatment
of animals. This is reflected in racehorses being put down after
their competitive
career has finished. Another sport often highlighted by animal
rights activists is
greyhound racing. This is due to the dogs being taught to race
and being breed
particularly for this reason. Illegal dog fighting is a related
sport that has been a source
28. of controversy. However, some sports have changed from being
unethical and radical
to mainstream sports. This is evident in the Ultimate Fight
Championships with its
use of mixed martial arts being amongst the highest worldwide
growth sports.This
chapter can be a starting point for further discussion on
entrepreneurial sport ethics.
Sport entrepreneurs come up with new ideas to issues i n sport
that are different
to current practices. This is due to sport playing a key role in
communities and the
use of ethics can bring about a better overall result. Sport
entrepreneurs are active at
the management level by directing ethical objectives. This
enables change to occur
through entrepreneurial action that incorporates an ethical
stance. The impact of
ethics on sport management is a well recognized stream of
research. The search for
entrepreneurial ways to respond to ethical concerns in sport is
less known but an
important source of competitive advantage.
29. Sport is considered as an important way to encourage social
cohesion through
healthy activities that encourage wellbeing. Entrepreneurship
captures many of the
change and forward thinking outlook needed in sport ethics.
People are attracted to
sport due to the passion and connection they feel to the game
and athletes. Sport is
considered as wholesome as it is marketed in that way.
However, the glamour and
money involved in sport makes it subject to unethical behavior.
The culture of sport has distinct behaviours that are in
accordance with entre-
preneurship such as aggressiveness and risk taking behavior.
This had led to sport
organizations needing to participate in ethical conduct in a way
that reflects their
cultural conditions. In addition, ethics is reflected in the way
sports people behave
and interact with the community. This means the practice of
ethics is important to
sports entrepreneurship as it is a component of the
entrepreneurial ecosystem.
118 8 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship
30. There are moral dilemmas faced by sport organizations based on
their position in
society. Often government authorities engage with both public
and private sporting
bodies in order to understand the impact of moral
transgressions. Despite this cross-
partnership collaboration sport ethics is a vexed question and
still under studied.
For sport entrepreneurs, the ethics issue remains problematic
due to uncertain
aspects about its implications. This is noted by sport
organizations perceiving ethics
to not be critical to the overall functioning of their team.
Scholarship related to sport ethics has been dominated by
medical and technology
issues. This is not surprising given the amount of money spent
on new sports
products and services. This logic is based on the increasingly
technological sophis-
ticated sport services that are linked to the internet. For many
years there has been
considerable interest about the way artificial intell igence will
31. change sport and this is
reflected in ethics issues. From the perspective of sport
organizations less attention
has been placed on entrepreneurship. This is interesting as sport
is inherently
entrepreneurial and there is much to be studied about ethics.
Entrepreneurs as
practitioners strive to have a place in the market by developing
new ideas that are
likely to have successful outcomes. Shilbury et al. (2008: 217)
conceptualizes sport
development as being “about participation and promoting the
opportunities and
benefits of participation”. People experience sport in different
ways depending on
their interests in being a participant or observer. Sport can
foster exchange of
knowledge and information amongst stakeholders that can lead
to innovation.
Often the development of regions and states is derived from
sport related activities.
Schulenkorf (2017: 243) states “sport is a conduit to achieving
wider development
outcomes rather than an end in itself”.
32. Given the buzz around entrepreneurship in the economy, it
seems fair to say that
the field of sport entrepreneurship will continue to experience
significant growth. In
order to harness existing knowledge in sport there needs to be
more appreciation of
how entrepreneurship can contribute to the development of the
field. Over time,
entrepreneurship in sport will be more strategically planned as a
way to engage in
long term development. In the past, entrepreneurship was
considered as an ad-ho or
by-product of sport. In the future more notice of how
entrepreneurship occurs in
sport will be known.
There are different philosophies in sport that effect ethics. For
some competition
means winning at any costs including through cheating or
immoral activity. The
responsibility is on the referees or regulators to catch the
unethical conduct rather
than the perpetrators. This means there is some ambiguity when
ethics is interpreted
33. differently by people. An example is the football inflation rate
tampering case by
the New England Patriots, who deliberately under-inflated
footballs in order to give
their team an advantage in the game. Tom Brady the
quarterback from the New
England Patriots was suspended for a number of games but
ultimately his team won
the Super Bowl and was named the most valuable player in the
game. Hence, the
unethical behavior seemed to have a positive effect, which
further encourages
others to engage in the same kind of conduct.
Gamesmanship is a term used in sport that has ethical
implications depending on
the context and extent of the behavior. For some, sport is about
politics and to win
8.3 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship 119
there needs to be some manipulation of conduct for the aim of
winning. This is
evident in faking an injury that was popular in football before
referees started to
34. penalize players who seemed to be over emphasizing their
injury. There is now
more ability through replay technology to see whether a player
has actually been
injured. In addition, there are name calling in sport as part of
the psychological
warfare that goes on in sport. This has been considered as part
of the game but
recently there has been a backlash against this kind of conduct
especially when it
concerns gender or race. In the Australian Football League an
infamous incident
was in 1993 when St Kilda player Nicky Winmar lifted his
jumper during a game to
point to his Aboriginal skin in response to racial abuse from the
crowd at a game.
This incident resulted in the AFL creating an anti-racist policy
that tried to educate
and inform players and fans that racism was not tolerated in the
sport. The AFL has
also tried to educate people about homophobia and transphobia
by starting pride
games that encourage equal equality.
There are ethical issues associated with the environmental
35. impact of sport events.
This stems from the crowing and amount of people coming to a
place to see a sport
event. Often sport events in natural environments such as those
in parks or in the
ocean cause disruption to the existing animal and plant life.
This congestion can
have detrimental long term effects to an area so the sport events
need to be managed
more sustainably. Local communities have responded to these
environmental
concerns by tying to be more involved in the sport event.
Despite the negative
environmental effects there can also be positive effects in terms
of more media and
attention placed on an area. This helps a region gain funding
and sponsorship from
their association with a sport. An example is World Surfing
Reserves, which has
named specific surfing spots as places that need special
environmental protection.
Bells Beach Surfing Reserve located 1 h from Melbourne has a
national park next to
the beach and limited tourism development. This is in contrast
36. to the Gold Coast in
Queensland that has emphasized tourism development through
skyscrapers and
large amounts of apartment buildings. Thus, sports events have
a destination
image that needs to be managed in the appropriate manner.
The destination of some sport events such as yacht racing need
to take place in a
big area but others is limited to stadiums or smaller spaces. This
has caused some
security issues associated with the number of people able to
attend a sports event.
Whilst some see sport as a vehicle for change and argue
everyone should have
access to it there can be restrictions based on the amount of
financial resources
required to play or watch the sport. For example, sports such as
tennis and golf are
viewed as elitist sports and this represents an ethics issue as not
all segments of
society can play the sport. Thus, there needs to be an integration
of commercial
goals and social transformation in the hosting of sport events.
37. The novelty of sport means there are specific qualities it has
that impact on the
way opportunities are pursued. The process of sports
entrepreneurship involves
change through the innovative use of resources. There is
entrepreneurial behavior in
sport that enables continued innovation in existing contexts but
also the establish-
ment of new business opportunities. The capacity of sport
organizations to engage
in risk depends on how they recognize opportunities. Sport
entrepreneurship
120 8 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship
involves entrepreneurial activity within the sports context.
Increasing studies on
sport are acknowledging that entrepreneurship is a key
contributor to the creation of
new opportunities. The development of sport is dependent on
exploiting
opportunities. Entrepreneurship has outcomes for the way sport
is delivered and
for its development. There is a paucity of research on the way
entrepreneurial ethics
38. are conducted in both the public and private sport sector. One of
the biggest
challenges for sport organizations is to find new opportunities
that can enhance
their market position. Sport has substantial social and economic
value and is
recognized as a key component of communities. Many regions
emphasise sport
as being part of the social fabric in enabling a community spirit
to develop. Sport
can provide a way for groups of people to come together and
connect.
8.4 Looking Ahead
The sport context provides a range of contexts for investigating
the role of entre-
preneurship and ethics. The sport sector plays a key role in
integrating new
technology and medical breakthroughs that have ethical
dilemmas. Therefore,
sport leaders play a crucial role in making sure ethical
guidelines are adhered to
but also respect emerging technologies. The increase in sport
technology
39. innovation alongside increased ethical responsibility of sport
organizations makes
it more important for firms in sport ethics. The viability of sport
organizations refers
to their need to act ethical but also to innovate. Sport
organizations need to develop
strategies to attract innovation whilst safeguarding ethical
principles. Previous
research has focused on the role of sport ethics but has not
linked it to entrepreneur-
ship as there are challenges of sport ethics in keeping up to date
with emerging
technology. This has often resulted in ineffective ethics policies
that resulted in bad
governance practices. As government funding to sport changes
there is a need for
more independent funding of sport ventures that brings with it
ethical challenges.
To overcome ethics issues sport organizations need to decrease
their financial
dependence on public institutions and incorporate more
entrepreneurial funding.
I suggest that entrepreneurship can provide opportunities for
sport organizations
40. to keep up to date with emerging technology in an ethical
manner. Academics can
provide some suggestions about the use of entrepreneurial
ethics in other sectors
that can then be applied to sport. Therefore, entrepreneurial
ethics utilized in sport
can enable the development of research partnerships between
academic and prac-
tice. Given the interest in sports developing ethical guidelines
in a new way may
help benefit other sectors of the economy. Sport organizations
need to respond to
the ethical issues they are facing and develop new mechanisms
to cope with change.
This will have an impact to the sport industry but also related
sectors. This chapter
offers an entrepreneurial perspective to sport ethics. I hope the
impact of sport
ethics and entrepreneurship will further stimulate research. The
goal of this chapter
was to fuel interest in the need for a more entrepreneurial
approach to sport ethics.
Sport entrepreneurship is a newly developed research field that
is rapidly gaining
41. acceptance in both the sport management and entrepreneurship
disciplines. In the
8.4 Looking Ahead 121
future ethics and sport entrepreneurship will continue to gain
prominence in the
academic literature. Entrepreneurship is one of the fastest
growing fields of busi-
ness so it is natural to assume sport entrepreneurship will
increase in prominence. It
can be expected that the role of ethics in sport entrepreneurship
will be deserving of
more attention. There are nuances in sport that are different to
other industries that
need to be progressed in the academic literature. It is timely to
focus on ethics in
sport entrepreneurship due to the increased interest in gender
and sexuality dis-
crimination. There is more emphasis on equality and support of
diverse groups of
society. Ethics can make a positive difference in sport as it
enables a reflection
about changes and perceptions of expected behavior. Sport is a
popular form of
42. activity to watch and participant in but cannot solve all societal
problems. Instead
sport can encourage more ethical conduct by educating people
about best behavior.
The field of sport entrepreneurship can incorporate an ethics
perspective in order to
contribute to a more interdisciplinary understanding of the
nexus of sport with
entrepreneurship. From an ethical perspective, sport is a way to
address inequality
and to foster better outcomes.
Researchers are encouraged to develop better measurement tools
to evaluate the
entrepreneurship in sport ethics. Finally, it must be noted that
this chapter reports on
the role entrepreneurship plays in sport ethics. Therefore, the
findings are focused
on the impact of innovation and change in sport ethics. This
chapter will provide
valuable insights for future sport managers wanting to utilize
more entrepreneurial
ethics. Future research needs to shed light on the ethics issues
in sport and the
43. interrelationship with entrepreneurship.
There is still much work to do about understanding the role of
ethics in sport and
how to nurture entrepreneurship. It is important to advance the
current literature on
sport ethics by investigating entrepreneurial behavior. Future
generations will
benefit from a more ethical form of sport participation. Thus,
more research effort
is needed on how to make sport organizations respond more
entrepreneurially to
ethical challenges. This might be done through targeting the
cycle of ethics by
learning about future trends. In addition, the intensity of ethics
in sport remains
subject to fluctuations. A meaningful research agenda is to
focus on sport ethics
from an entrepreneurial perspective. The lack of research about
entrepreneurial
effects of sport ethics does not represent what is occurring in
the marketplace.
8.5 Conclusion
The relationship between sport ethics and entrepreneurship is
the focus of this
44. chapter. This chapter provides insights on the impacts of
entrepreneurship on sport
ethics policy through an investigation of how the research fields
are linked. This
chapter will contribute to the limited body of knowledge about
the role of entre-
preneurship in sport ethics by presenting a novel approach to
understanding sport
ethics by including an entrepreneurial perspective. This chapter
contends that ethics
and sport entrepreneurship have an interactive relationship and
continues the
discussion of sport entrepreneurship evident in the other
chapters by going beyond
current thinking of ethics to incorporate a more innovative
perspective. The chapter
122 8 Ethics and Sport Entrepreneurship
highlights how in order to stimulate sport entrepreneurship
there needs to be more
interest in ethics. There is no definite answer as to how
entrepreneurial forms of
ethics are utilized in sport. Therefore, this chapter attempts to
45. provide a starting
point about how entrepreneurship is useful in a sport setting.
The outcome of this chapter are central to the acknowledgement
of ethics being
fundamental to the overall reputation of sport organizations.
The future role of
entrepreneurship in sport ethics will benefit from a more
holistic approach. This is
due to ethics defining the way sport is perceived in society. The
findings of this
chapter are noteworthy due to the development of a
comprehensive understanding
about the role entrepreneurship plays in sport ethics. This
chapter has addressed the
sport ethics-entrepreneurship nexus, and suggests that there will
be more interest in
this topic in the future. The stated aim of this chapter was to
focus on entrepreneur-
ship in sport ethics. The role of ethics has been researched
widely in the business
management literature but less in the sport entrepreneurship
context. This has
resulted in uncertainty about how sport ethics can be
innovative, risk taking and
46. proactive in the marketplace. There is room for sport
entrepreneurs to utilize ethics
as a way to solve business and societal problems. This chapter
has discussed the role
of ethics in sport entrepreneurship by taking a novel perspective
about future
developments. This chapter contributes to the entrepreneurship
and sports manage-
ment fields by adding an ethical perspective that is needed
given the importance of
the global sport industry to the economy. The issue of ethics
needs to be continually
investigated in terms of its application to sport. It is important
to understand the
ethical issues in sport and how they can be changed based on
entrepreneurship.
