Sport management
Why research Sport management?
We are home to the Centre for Sport and Social Impact that has just won a 2.5 year, $2 million research project to work with 100 sports clubs in the Geelong region. The Centre works to influence the future of sport management practices and policy through research and engagement with industry and government. We use organisational behaviour, management, marketing, economics, law, sociology and public policy to investigate issues that affect sport organisations in the public, private and non-profit sectors and their impact on society.
