Science and Football III
The Third World Congress of Science and Football was held in Cardiff, Wales in April 1995. The aim of the conference was to continue to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of the various branches of football and increase the awareness of the value of a scientific approach to these games. These aims and the outcomes of the conference are reflected in this third volume of Science and Football. The volume is divided into eight parts, each part containing a group of papers that are related by theme or disciplinary approach. Metabolism and nutrition, football training, match analysis, medical aspects of football and psychology and football behaviour are just a few of the areas covered in this comprehensive, in-depth volume that has been fully edited and revised. The conclusions drawn during the congress represent an invaluable practical reference for coaches, scientists, players, managers, and all those involved in the many football codes.
Der Personalmanagementprozess von Fußballvereinen: Können Unternehmen etwas davon lernen?
Erstmals erwirtschafteten die Fußballclubs der 1. Bundesliga in der Saison 2011/12 über 2 Milliarden Euro Umsatz. Diese Zahl macht deutlich, dass aus den ehemals eingetragenen Vereinen mächtige Kapitalgesellschaften erwachsen sind. Doch welchen Anforderungen und Prozessen muss sich ein heutiger Spitzenclub eigentlich stellen, um wirtschaftlich und sportlich erfolgreich zu sein? Um dieser Frage nachzugehen wurden erstmals die wirtschaftlichen und die sportlichen Prozesse, ausgehend von der Personalbeschaffung bis zur Personalfreisetzung, in klarstrukturierten Prozessketten getrennt voneinander betrachtet. Das vorliegende Werk liefert endlich einen klaren, durch zahlreiche Praxisbeispiele untermauerten Überblick über berufliche Tätigkeitsfelder und Aufgaben innerhalb eines Fußballclubs. Zudem widmet es sich der Fragestellung, ob besonders erfolgsversprechende Arbeitsmethoden auf Unternehmen der Wirtschaftsbranche übertragbar sind.
