Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the trends, future vision, and development of sports management from the perspective of management sciences. The scope of the research is to understand the discipline and field of sports management, evaluate its historical development, and identify future trends. As this study is a review article based on literature analysis, no fieldwork or experimental methods were used. The data were analyzed by synthesizing information obtained from existing sources. From the perspective of management sciences, sports management is a field that applies management principles and techniques to the specific conditions of the sports industry. This includes practices such as strategic planning, personnel management, marketing, and communication. Sports managers should make strategic decisions, develop leadership skills, and effectively utilize resources by applying management principles in sports organizations to achieve success. Sports management education should aim to train future sports managers who can adapt to the rapidly changing sports industry. This should involve gaining competencies in areas such as keeping up with technological advancements, data analysis, and digital marketing. Additionally, topics like globalization and diversity should be addressed as sports organizations are becoming increasingly international.

Spor Yöneticiliğinin Evrimi: Yönetim Bilimleri Yaklaşımıyla, Eğilimler ve Gelecek Vizyonu

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yönetim bilimleri perspektifinden spor yöneticiliğinin, eğilimlerini, gelecek vizyonu ve gelişimini incelemektir. Araştırmanın kapsamı, spor yöneticiliği disiplinini ve alanını anlamak, tarihi gelişimini değerlendirmek ve gelecekteki eğilimleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışma, literatür analizine dayanan bir derleme makalesi olduğundan, saha çalışması veya deneysel yöntemler kullanılmamıştır. Veriler, mevcut kaynaklardan elde edilen bilgilerin sentezlenmesiyle analiz edilmiştir. Yönetim bilimleri perspektifinden, spor yöneticiliği, yönetim prensiplerini ve tekniklerini spor sektörünün özel koşullarına uygulayan bir alandır. Bu, stratejik planlamadan, personel yönetimine, pazarlama ve iletişim gibi uygulamaları içerir. Spor yöneticileri, yönetim prensiplerini spor organizasyonlarında uygulayarak başarıya ulaşmak için stratejik kararlar almalı, liderlik becerilerini geliştirmeli ve kaynakları etkin bir şekilde kullanmalıdır. Spor yöneticiliği eğitimi, hızla değişen spor endüstrisine ayak uydurabilen geleceğin spor yöneticilerini yetiştirmeyi hedeflemelidir. Bu, teknolojik gelişmeleri takip etme, veri analizi ve dijital pazarlama gibi alanlarda yetkinlikleri kazandırmayı içermelidir. Ayrıca, küreselleşme ve çeşitlilik gibi konular da ele alınmalıdır, çünkü spor organizasyonları giderek daha uluslararası hale gelmektedir.
