    Sport policy, politics and development is an ever-changing area of sport which is crucial in understanding the current sporting landscape. In recent years, sport has become an increasingly common feature of government policies due to the willingness to use sport and physical activity as vehicles to achieve a range of objectives. As a result, sport continues to grow in cultural, social and political significance and the many interesting and complex motives for this will be explored in this unit.

    • Illustrate the significance of sport as a political, social and cultural tool
    • Review mass participation and elite sport models, strategies and/or policies

    Marketing is all around us. We are exposed to this world from a very young age and have encounters with many marketers from the beginning of each day. From waking up to an alarm on an iPad to tuning into Nickelodeon, from showering with Dove body wash to breakfasting on Kellogg’s cereal and Tropicana orange juice, the day, from start to finish, is a vehicle for marketers to engage their audience. Their key objective is to create a strong relationship between organizations and their current and potential customers.

    The aim of this unit is to give students opportunities to develop an understanding of the key concepts and terminology used in marketing, as well as to provide the practical skills required in order to create a marketing campaign for a sports organization. It will provide knowledge and understanding of the role and function of marketing within sports organizations, exploring the core concepts surrounding the marketing mix, along with developing an understanding of how to apply these within the context of a sports organization.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Explore the role of marketing within a sports organization
    • Investigate the core principles of the marketing mix
    • Explain the role of digital marketing within the sports industry
    • Create a marketing communications campaign for a sports organization.

    The development of sport (creating pathways for participation and talent/elite development) and development through sport (using sport as a tool to achieve social outcomes) are now fundamental aspects of the organization and governance of sport around the world. Consequently, students wanting to work in sport need to understand what sport development programs are and how they can be managed, implemented and evaluated effectively.

    Sports development programs can be complex and have miscellaneous objectives. This unit, therefore, begins with assessing the different objectives, partnerships and funding of sports development programs. These often vary depending on the scope of the programs, and the organizations involved. Sport development programs can diverge from elite sport to youth and community sport, local disability sport to international development programs and, therefore, each program has unique objectives, partnerships and funding sources. The second outcome considers the contemporary issues and barriers often experienced when managing a sports program, and possible solutions to overcome these.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Assess the objectives, partnerships and funding of sports development programs
    • Conduct a community sports development program
    • Analyze contemporary issues and barriers for sports development programs
    • Review the community sports development program

    When I initially started at CCCU International, I had a lot of doubts about the course quality, content, faculty, professionalism, and benefit to me as a student. However, as I finish the program, all of my anxieties have been alleviated. My viewpoint, as well as my corporate discourse and analytical skills, had shifted as early as the first quarter. This was evident in my job applications and interactions. I was not sure if an MBA was for me, but after joining Westford, I realized I was just overthinking it. I was able to strike a work-study balance without feeling unproductive or inefficient. The classes were lively, and the instructor was approachable and eager to assist with knowledge and understanding. As I think about my journey, I am proud of the choices I have made.
