Description of the programme
Sports management and sports marketing have become a complex and global business in which only professionally trained managers are successful. Especially in the professional sector, the demands on sports managers have risen drastically in recent years. Gone are the days when former sportsmen and women could successfully take on management functions in sports organisations without any previous business training, because the tasks of a sports manager go far beyond sport and now include all business functions such as human resources management, marketing, accounting and controlling, sports law, quality management and strategic planning. The high level of internationalisation in sport requires foreign language competence as well as a high level of intercultural communication skills. Or to put it another way: successful sports managers at the executive level must understand as much about business administration and international economic relations as they do about sport.
