The intersection of innovation, technology, and sustainability in sports management and education represents a dynamic and evolving field at the nexus of sports, business, and environmental consciousness. As sports continue to permeate, the industry and academia face unprecedented challenges and opportunities, which is worthy of exploration. The integration of cutting-edge technologies is transforming athlete performance, fan engagement, operational efficiency, and sports education. Simultaneously, a growing emphasis on sustainability within sports management is prompting organizations to adopt various practices and embrace socially responsible initiatives. The convergence of these trends creates a rich landscape for research, exploring how technological advancements can enhance both the competitive advantage and the ecological footprint of sports organizations. The challenges entail addressing concerns related to electronic waste, energy consumption, and the carbon footprint associated with high-tech sporting events and facilities, however, recent advances promise avenues for resolutions to the issues. This interdisciplinary inquiry not only seeks to propel the sports industry forward but also aims to instill principles of sustainability and innovation in sports education, shaping the next generation of industry leaders.
The scope of the Research Topic encompasses a multifaceted exploration of the multifaceted landscape where sports, technology, and sustainability intersect. We invite contributors to delve into themes such as innovative leadership in the sports industry, examining how leaders navigate and foster innovative technology integration while ensuring sustainability. The exploration of technology and innovation in sports events is encouraged, assessing the impact of emerging technologies on the execution and experience of sports. Authors may delve into the realm of Sport Management Education, investigating the integration of technology and sustainability principles into curricula. Additionally, discussions on the relevance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in sports sponsorship are welcome, addressing the ethical dimensions of sponsorships. Finally, research on technology in teaching excellence within sports management education is sought, exploring how technological tools enhance pedagogical approaches.
This Research Topic aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic interplay between innovation, technology, and sustainability in the context of sports management and education. Manuscripts may include empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, case analyses, and practical applications in sports education. We also welcome comprehensive literature reviews and meta-analyses that provide a robust understanding of the evolving landscape of innovation, technology, and sustainability in sport management and education.
