Octagon's statement articulates the essential elements of an organization pursuing excellence in sport's management: heart, desire, and attitude. As Octagon "is now involved in every aspect of the sports and entertainment industry: athletes and personalities, event management, consulting, property representation, talent procurement, and marketing solutions" (Hunter, J
1). Opinion of Mission Statement A mission statement should "at is most basic, describe the overall purpose of the organization" (McNamara, C
PP. 1), and fundamentally management's job is to "understand and cope with competition" (Porter, M
Because of this negative stigma, and because traditional images of sports are largely perceived as incompatible with traditional roles for women, female athletes are likely to be discouraged from participating in sports activities in colleges and universities, due to numerous factors, including gender conflict and discrimination. For many years, women have played sports for various reasons, including the simple reason that they enjoyed the pleasures and challenges of athletics (Cahn, 1999)
The 1972 legislation, one of 13 amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, launched revolution in the way that federally funded schools treat women in athletic programs. It simply states (Funk, 2002): "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance
Women's Sports Women's participation in college sports has increased significantly since Title IX was passed in 1972, but research fails to show that female athletes get the status, respect and approval that athletic participation brings to males (Royce, Gebelt and Duff, 2001)
Almost everyone -- except perhaps for the cut players -- would say that's fair. But what happens when a university cuts an entire team of male players to make room for women? Is that fair?" This is a popular question in athletics departments as they try to comply with Title IX standard and create an equitable situation for female athletes (Suggs, 1999)
(Gardiner 2009, pp. 255 -- 261) (Topic 5, 2012) In these kinds of situations, the course of natural justice is continually evolving
" This is showing how more general guidelines must be met in order to prove negligence. (Topic 6, 2012) As result, the biggest differences between the two cases are that Waverly Municipal Council v Swain is taking a more focused approach in: demonstrating negligence and breach of duty
Under the law, this means that women can compete directly against men in different sports. (Topic 9, 2012) Moreover, women are often considered to be at a physical disadvantage when competing against men
The High Court found that the Waverly Municipal Council did violate these provisos. (Waverly Municipal Council v Swain
The High Court found that the Waverly Municipal Council did violate these provisos. (Waverly Municipal Council v Swain
This makes them more successful when competing against men. (Women Still Setting Sights 2011) (Topic 9, 2012) Moreover, any kind of physical advantages that men have in the sport are effectively negated
In the future, some of younger women golfers are focusing on breaking these barriers. (Women Still Setting Sights on PGA Tour 2011) This is showing how discrimination law is focused on giving women the same opportunities to compete against men
When this happens, they will focus on using the courts as way to rectify these issues. (Gardiner 2009, pp
The volunteerism study will be similar, in that some people who would volunteer for something in particular may not be likely to volunteer for a sporting event if sports (or that particular kind of event) does not interest them. Keeping that in mind when studying and planning for volunteers is very important, because the number of available volunteers may be strongly affected depending on the reason for which they are asked to volunteer (Adorno, 2000; Xu & Ngai, 2011)
Because of that, large numbers of volunteers are required. Volunteers do things because they like to help out and because they want to contribute (Backer, 1973; Beer & Nohria, 2000)
Money is certainly not a motivator for volunteers, because they receive no financial compensation. Getting paid is not everything, though, and many people do not equate their worth with what is in their bank account (Bedeian, 1993)
Sometimes they will volunteer for almost anything that helps people or that helps their city. Other times, they will volunteer for things if they have a passion for them or a connection to them (Blau, 1993; Tonnessen, 2000)
The Value of Volunteers in Belfast In Belfast, the value of volunteers can be measured in both economic and social ways. Of course, any time a city or an organization does not have to pay people to do a job, that city or organization benefits (Buford, 1993; Leonard, Beauvis, & Scholl, 1999)
