A study on the structual relationship between sport industry and sport management

Abstract

Sport management is generally defined as a practice which arranges necessary conditions for sport behaviour and which runs sport services. The "Theory of Sport Management" is coming to be demanded in the world of sport business.Because the relationship between sport management and sport industry have fallen into utter confusion, as there are many social problems which have arisen along with the growth of the sport industry. It is appropriate that sport industry is able to divide into "the Primary Sport Industry" and "the Secondary Sport Industry" according to the context of sport behavior. Sport management as "the Primary Sport Industry" must be hub of the sport industry, and it must play a role in the development and operation of useful sport services. On the other hand we consider" the Secondary Sport Industry" supports"the Primary Sport Industry, " and includes the training of professionals, developing and marketing sport facilities and sporting goods, and development of the tourist industry. It is true that the prosperity of"the Secondary Sport Industry"and the state of sport management (the Primary Sport Industry) reflect upon each other.
