Form follows function. Bob Noorda e il sistema di identità visiva per il Touring Club Italiano

2011

Quella che vogliamo raccontare in queste pagine è una microstoria del graphic design in Italia, scritta da un olandese che del suo paese d’origine ha mantenuto molto, in primis la formazione, la cultura del progetto, l’accento e lo stile, e del nostro ha assimilato altrettanto, tutti aspetti che hanno contribuito a fare di lui, Bob Noorda, un progettista ad altissimo livello che ha scritto con la sua lunga e importante carriera professionale, parte della storia della disciplina progettuale. Una microstoria che lega il Touring Club Italiano (TCI) al graphic designer che ne ha ridisegnato il marchio, senza che il parlare di ridisegno possa assumere in alcun modo un’accezione riduttiva per il …

Combating illegal phenomena in Professional Football in Italy: the strengths and weaknesses of the actual model of governance

2012

A recent report about football sector in Italy highlights the reduction of competitive equilibrium of the teams, as shown by their poor performances in Europe, the reduction of fans in the stands, the economic losses and the increasing of debts. In a previous research, we analyse the governance model established in Italy in the professional football sector, and we realize a taxonomy framework helpful for identifying appropriate tools and procedures to overcome them (Cincimino, Tomaselli, Carini, 2012).

The Governance of the Football Sector in Italy. A Conceptual Framework for Overcoming Some Pathologies

2012

The government of professional football sector is a complex issue, for the numerous threats to the proper conduct of sporting activities (such as the extended dimension of the interest on illegal betting), for the involvement of sports entities in social activities, and for the greater interest which assumes the economic dimension. Moreover, an effective governance model should prevent, rather than cure, the manifestation of problems within the professional clubs. In Italy, the current model of governance of football is formally openness, but it does not exert a preventive action fully effective of the problems that professional clubs must face. By proposing a conceptual framework, focused …

The balancing act of combining school and football in the transition from a non-professional club into junior-elite academy football

2021

Football players in the transition from junior-to-senior are usually involved in dual careers, combining school and football – a process that makes them dependent on a holistic talent-development journey. The aim of the current study was to describe how male junior elite football players (N=10; 5=living at home, 5=living away from home) perceived stressors in the transition from a non-professional club into a junior elite academy. Furthermore, the school transition (between lower- and upper-secondary school) and social transition (based on the school and football transitions) as a consequence of the football transition into academy football.

The Sports Club as a Social Organization in Finland

1989

The voluntary sports movement began in Finland in the late 1800s concomitantly with the industrialization of the country. Due to the political, ethnic and emancipatory interests the sports movement has particular configurations still valid at present and embodied in the separate national organizations for workers, Finnish-Swedish people and women. The national survey on sports clubs as social organizations was carried out in 1987. The data were collected by mail from the sample of clubs (n 835). The survey was focused on the prime components of the internal system of sports clubs — ideology, membership, program, resources and administration — but also on the interaction between this interna…

Volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs: A multilevel analysis in 10 European countries

2020

Regular voluntary engagement is a basic resource for sports clubs that may also promote social cohesion and active citizenship. The satisfaction of volunteers is an imperative factor in this engagement, and the purpose of this article is to explore individual and organizational determinants of volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs. Theoretically, our study builds on the actor-theory concepts where volunteer satisfaction depends on subjective evaluations of expectations and experiences in a sports club (‘logic of situation’), so that positive evaluations lead to higher satisfaction and, hopefully, retention of volunteers. This research uses a sample of 8131 volunteers from 642 sports clubs…
