The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the sports industry, affecting from professional sports activities to the 2020 Summer Olympics. It has wreaked havoc on the sports calendar, causing a number of events to be canceled or postponed. This study proposes a methodology by which the sports industry can assess public perceptions and responses in social media to gain important insights that can be used to craft effective crisis management strategies. Using machine learning approaches in order to extract hidden patterns in tweets could assist practitioners in creating and implementing crisis communication strategies for mitigating the impact of COVID-19.

Sports activities attract an impressive number of participants, manifesting themselves in a multitude of forms, in leisure or performance sports, in and out of the sports ground. In the context in which the sports industry processes a variety of personal data of athletes, including sensitive data such as information concerning health, we aim to analyse the impact of the General Regulation on the protection of personal data in sports activities. In the first part of the study we analysed the incidence of sport in daily life and the forms of organization of sports structures. Subsequently, we focused our attention in particular on the way in which the personal data of the athletes are processed, the rights they enjoy under the new European regulations and the measures that the operators should ensure for the protection of these data.

The Impact

Although the literature on COVID-19 is expanding, particularly in relation to crisis management responses pursued by large tourism enterprises, currently few studies exist on the responses of small tourism firms and more specifically of the crisis management practices of small and microaccom modation establishments. The aim in this study is to investigate the business management responses of small tourism firms to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and restrictions in South Africa. Themes of concern are whether enterprises have been able to sustain operations and adopt certain coping mechanisms or management strategies to mitigate the pandemic’s impact. The article reports on an interview survey of small and microenterprises engaged in accommodation services (N = 75) in South Africa under lockdown restrictions as a means of assessing the responses and coping strategies during an unprecedented crisis of this core component of the country’s tourism industry. Among key findings are that small and microlodging firms that have suffered severe financial losses because of the COVID-19 shock have few viable mechanisms to cope with the impact of the crisis and that government support to aid recovery has been insufficient in South Africa. This research contributes to the limited body of international scholarship that examines how small and microaccommodation firms, a major group and contributor of many economies, are navigating the unprecedented COVID-19 environment.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation research focuses on modeling traffic conditions affected by disruptive events such as work zones, incidents, and hurricanes. Using a combination of field data and simulation experiments, this research tried to address the relationship between disruptive events and their impact on traffic conditions and driver behavior. The first half of the dissertation assesses the impact of work zones. First, a data-driven assessment of the traffic impact of work zones using different data sources was conducted. A tool was developed for practitioners to estimate the delay and travel times of planned work zones. Second, traffic flow and speed prediction models were developed for work zones in order to assist with the better scheduling of work activity. Machine learning approaches were used to develop the prediction models. In addition to work zone effects, the effects of another special event, baseball gameday conditions, were also studied and traffic prediction models were developed. Third, using naturalistic driving study data, classification algorithms categorized work zone events into crashes, nearcrashes, and baseline conditions. In the second half of the dissertation, the focus shifts to the effect of emergency on evacuation. Two chapters in this section present the results of different traffic management strategies -- 1) contraflow crossover and ramp closure optimization and 2) reservation-based intersection control in connected and autonomous vehicle environment.

Women remain the minority in sport organizations, particularly in leadership roles, and prior work has suggested that sexism may be to blame. This study examines women’s experiences of both overt and subtle sexism in the sport industry as well as the impact such experiences have on their careers. Based on interviews and journal entries from women managers working in a men’s professional sports league, the findings suggest that the culture of sport organizations perpetuates sexism, including the diminishment and objectification of women. Sexism occurs in women’s everyday interactions with their supervisors and coworkers, as well as others that they interact with as part of their jobs. Such experiences result in professional and emotional consequences, which women navigate by employing tactics that enable their survival in the sport industry.

A COVID-19 turisztikai hatásait vizsgáló kutatások sora jelent meg az elmúlt időszakban, melyek leginkább az átalakuló utazói preferenciákat vizsgálják (Güliz Uğur–Akbiyik 2020, VARGAS 2020, Li–Ito 2021, UKPABI et al. 2021), ugyanakkor a frissen megjelent publikációk nem foglalkoznak a jó gyakorlatokkal, a válságkezelésre vonatkozó stratégiák megosztásával és a közös gondolkodással a turizmus nyitást követő újraélesztése kapcsán. Ezért szeretnénk az elsők között megosztani a magyar turisztikai desztinációmenedzsment (TDM) szervezetek körében végzett felmérésünk eredményeit, melyek segíthetik az egyes szervezetek közti tapasztalat- és információcserét, valamint értékes gondolatokkal járulhatnak hozzá a stratégiai tervezéshez is. A világjárvány okozta válság több gazdasági ágazatot is jelentősen érintett, a turizmusra gyakorolt negatív hatásaira számos példát látunk már most. Az egyes turisztikai szereplőkre nagy nyomás nehezedik a kialakult helyzetben, így többek között a TDM szervezetek munkáját is a járvány határozza meg. Tanulmányunk rávilágít arra, hogy a járvány hatására hozott intézkedések hogyan hatottak a TDM szervezetek működésére, milyen új feladatok jelentek meg a tevékenységükben, hogyan tudnak segíteni tagjaiknak a korlátozások ideje alatt, és hogy egyáltalán hogyan tekintenek a jövőbe. Several studies examining the impact of COVID-19 on tourism have already been published, mostly examining changing traveler preferences (Güliz Uğur–Akbiyik 2020, VARGAS 2020, Li– Ito 2021, UKPABI et al. 2021). At the same time, however, most recent publications lack ”best practice” – sharing crisis management strategies and common thinking on reviving tourism after re-opening. We would, therefore, like to be among the first to share the results of our survey among Hungarian tourism destination management organizations (DMO), which may help in the exchange of experience and information between individual organizations, as well as contribute to strategic planning. The crisis caused by the pandemic has significantly affected several economic sectors, and we are already seeing many examples of its negative effects on tourism. The individual tourist actors are under great pressure in the current situation, and so the work of DMOs is also determined by the epidemic. Our study highlights how the measures taken as a result of the epidemic have affected the operation of DMOs, what new tasks have emerged in their activities, how they can help their members during the curent constraints and how they visualise the future.

This chapter explores the relationship between sports and different types of competition, legal and actual possibility to apply competition, particularly antitrust, laws to sports, primarily to the sphere of professional sports and sports industry. The commercial and non-commercial components, yet linked to the interests of profit, in modern professional sports entails certain applicability of competition law to the field of sports. However, excessively strict application of antitrust laws can lead to devastating consequences for all types of sports or sports in general. Therefore, it is important to take into account specific characteristics of the sport sphere (more than any other sphere of activity). This is important when deciding on the application of competition law to this sphere or withdrawal of this sector from the application of competition law. Nature and inherent specific features of professional sports activities and sports in general have a significant impact on the application of competition law. Economic competition in the field of sport is atypical. The authors give their definitions of “sport,” “competitiveness in the sport,” “commercial competition in the field of professional sports,” “autonomy of sports,” “sports monopsony,” “sports monopoly,” and “sports oligopoly.”
