Sport management research ideas by Inkpothub

Sport management scholars, students, and practitioners can research over sports when they want to gain a deeper understanding of an actual real-life sports industry phenomenon or issue. These decision-making processes can be used by athletic directors for the team relocation effects, a sport merchandise company’s approach to expanding globally. 

To verify a theory in the real world, it examines the validity of a theory in a particular sport organization or situation, to study the precise characteristics of a unique situation in order to make comparisons to other situations, or to research a phenomenon that has not been studied in order to discover new features (Ghauri & Gronhaug, 2005).

Therefore, in addition to examining and solving practical issues in the sports industry, research in sport management can also involve testing the existing theoretical concepts or even creating new theories (Maylor & Blackmon, 2005). 

In a theory-testing work, the researcher can examine a case in order to evaluate, strengthen, or challenge a theoretical proposition (Edwards, 1998). This research typically explores, describes, illustrates, or explains a selected phenomenon in sport management. Research comes in three types that often overlap in sport management: explanatory, exploratory, and descriptive (Maylor & Blackmon, 2005). 

As discussed in detail by Yin (2003), exploratory and descriptive research studies often answer research questions that address who, what, when, and where. 

In explanatory research studies, the investigator seeks to answer questions about how and why research questions. It helps you understand why baseball ownership and management failed to adequately address the issue of steroids in the 1990s.
