Abstract:
The Center for Sports and Business at the Stockholm School of Economics stands out as a pioneering interdisciplinary research center, integrating expertise from various fields such as management, strategy, marketing, innovation, and economics, with a significant emphasis on including women in sports and business research. It aims to exploit data from sports, sports organizations, and the business of sports to encourage research that not only advances theories but also has practical implications for sports, business, and gender equality. This center is part of a global network that includes academics, executives, athletes, and notably, focuses on promoting gender diversity by exploring the roles and impacts of women in sports and business. It is dedicated to using sports as a lens to examine societal learning, inclusion, and the advancement of women in leadership and strategic positions within sports organizations. By analyzing the unique challenges and opportunities that women face in the sports industry, the center provides valuable insights into managerial and strategic dynamics from a gender-inclusive perspective. The diversity of sports, with their varying nature and data types, enables the center to conduct research that addresses specific gender-related questions. This approach not only furthers the theoretical understanding of organizational and strategic issues from a gender perspective but also offers concrete, actionable insights to practitioners interested in fostering gender equality within their sports, industries, and business models.
