Challenges of tourism development in winter sports destinations and for post-event tourism marketing: the cases of the Ramsau Nordic Ski World Championships 1999 and the St Anton Alpine Ski World Championships 2001
Previous research on winter sport destinations which have hosted big sport events suggested that there is a gap between the relevance of the systematic considerations of the specific challenges of tourism destination marketing and common practice. The study therefore investigates through individual interviews with key stakeholders (1) the level of agreement with central theoretical statements among stakeholders and key decision-makers at the Austrian destinations Ramsau (a traditional Nordic destination) and St Anton (a traditional Alpine destination) and (2) the relevance of this knowledge to the practical work of the key decision-makers at the destinations. The results show that there is …
Cultural self-perceptions of German sport organizations in an intersectoral comparison
This paper addresses the question as to how far cultures of sport organizations reflect the business environment and sectoral paradigms they are in. In general, the organization of sport can be assigned to the three economic sectors (non-profit, for-profit, state).

Patterns of managerial action: an empirical analysis of German sport managers
Based on the assumption that the organisational society is divided into three clearly defined economic sectors, it seems an obvious assumption to adequately differentiate the educational curriculum according to these three sectors. By examining the characteristics of the different tasks of sport managers within the abovementioned sectors, it can be noted that it is possible to speak of a general job profile, although significant individual interior deviations are evident. With the use of cluster analysis techniques, empirical manager types can be identified, which cannot easily be matched into the theoretical sector typologies.
