Sample course module

Sample course module

Syllabus

01

Sport in Society

This module introduces you to social sciences and their applications to sport studies. You will learn about the history of sports and how this evolved to where sport is today. By the end of this module, learners should be able to:

• Critically analyse organised sport in a variety of cultural contexts

• Interpret key issues and problems in international sport, considering the implications of such an examination for the modern-day sport manager and administrator.

02

The Role of Sport

This section takes you on a brief journey through the history of sport, and then explores the broader impact of sport from the perspectives of sociology and culture. It explores the characteristics of today’s dominant sports and the concepts of conformance and deviance (e.g. cheating) in sport.
03

Diversity in Sport

Gender and equity are central issues in the study of sociology and they have evolved to now also be significant issues in global sport and, therefore, sports marketing. This section explores women in sport, issues around participation and equity, racial and ethnic relations and ideology, and sports role in class and economic inequalities.
04

Media & Politics in Sport

While sport has entertained mankind throughout history, the past 30 years has seen a dramatic rise in the commercialisation of sport and, along with it, a broadening of the media’s interest in sport. This section investigates the economic factors that are immersed in sport, as well as the way in which the media impacts our lives, and the part that sport plays in this.
01

Sports Marketing

Marketing is a critical area of businesses and organisations which is no different for sports teams, organisations and teams. Marketing allows businesses to expand their horizons by connecting to the world and exploring what consumers are looking for through value creation. This module will introduce you to the fundamentals of marketing and the creativity involved in creating a marketable product. By the end of this module, learners should be able to:

• Synthesise the principles of marketing management and frameworks used

• Interpret market factors and develop strategic marketing approaches around the Product Lifecycle (PLC)

• Consider sponsorship and new media possibilities

02

The Business of Marketing

The concept of sport is often represented as a service rather than a product, so this section looks at the implications for marketing services as opposed to goods, including how this effects management and branding considerations. In reality, ‘sport’ can be a good, a service or some combination of the two. We also explore the variables of the sport product, and how the 4 P’s of marketing interplay with its unique characteristics.
03

Sports Consumers

This section defines a sport consumer and explores the typical behaviours and motives of consumers of sport. We then investigate various analytical methods and models that seek to better understand sports consumers and provide marketers with insights into critical considerations such as market segmentation, targeting and positioning.
04

Sports Communication

What we communicate is determined by the needs and attitudes of our consumers and how we communicate these messages depends on the blend of marketing tools we have at our disposal and how well these will suit our target market. This section explores various tools that a marketer can draw upon to engage with consumers, such as an integrated marketing communication (IMC) strategy, new media and digital channels, emerging technologies, and sponsorships.
01

Sports Leadership and Governance

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

• Judge governance, policy, power, and ethical practice in contemporary sport organisations

• Interpret the multiple roles and functions of a board in the strategic leadership of sport organisations • Understand some of the ethics issues in sport

02

Sports Governance

This section differentiates sports management from sports governance and details core governance principles and the trends in sport influencing governance. We then look at the different types of governance systems, as well as the various governance roles and the responsibilities of those governance positions. We finish the section with a look at strategic planning in a sporting context.
03

Sports Leadership

Within the context of corporate governance, this section looks at various considerations in leading a sporting organisation. It then explores the differing responsibilities accorded to executive managers as opposed to Board members, and the nature of the relationship between them.
04

Ethics & Sport

Following on from the previous section where we learned about governance, we also need to consider ethical standards. Boards have a fiduciary responsibility to their organisations, stakeholders and the wider community to follow ethical standards. This section explores ethics as a concept and looks at how ethical dilemmas can arise and be managed.
01

Creating the Fan Experience

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

• Understand why customer experience is important for the fans of sport

• What are the consumer trends impacting marketing

• Consider the elements for building a marketing campaign

02

Sporting Customer Experience

Customer experience leadership, strategy and operations are vital for business success, and this section showcases how the theory and practice combine effectively together. In the sporting context, ‘customer experience’ often equates to ‘sports fan experience’, with this accentuated by the tribalism and passion felt by many sporting fans.
03

Customer Trends

With the increase in digital technologies, organisations have more data at their fingertips than ever before. Technology has changed the way customers behave, the channels they spend their time in, the habits they form and the decisions they make. This section explores the various tools available to analyse consumer data to maximum effect from a marketing perspective.
04

Campaign Building

This section looks at the importance of effective marketing campaign planning and building to ensure that every part of the marketing process is aligned to meet the goals of the business and the needs of the customer.
01

Module 1,4,5 - The design on these modules takes sports as the centerpiece and then constructs the marketing & management theories. 

Aswini Satheeshverified learner

The things I liked about the course is that, It is in simple words and easy to learn. The fun facts and trivia given at the end of some chapters made it a bit more interesting. The activity area at the end of some modules and chapters helped me to stay engaged and to think from different perspective.

Ajit Pravin Khuleverified learner

I liked each and every thing about the course. The information provided in each and every module is very helpfull for the young sports professionals.

Venkat Rajuverified learner

Absolutely loved the course! I learnt a whole host of information about the evolution of sports media, the behind the scenes aspects of broadcasting and the future of sports media in particular. The 'Moments With Mayanti' videos were extremely insightful and the videos with the various members of the Royals staff were also very informative. 

The only thing that I would have liked to have seen a bit more in the course was some resources surrounding the rapid growth of franchise cricket on a more global scale but other than that, I really enjoyed the content of the course. 


All that's left for me to say is thank you for producing such an engaging course and for one final time...Halla Bol! 

Harsh Shahverified learner

First of all, I would like to congratulate Rajasthan Royals and Deakin University to come together and prepare such course which will allow cricket fans like me to learn about Sports Marketing along with having access to the RR insights by the respective experts. Though I work as software engineer, being passionate about cricket and especially about IPL, I have been trying to find ways to enter in the Sport industry to make earning fun unlike how I work today. I definitely feel that this course will help me in my future endeavour and it will also likely to change the way I will see IPL now onwards as now I feel be able to guess what would be the thought process behind any franchise to post certain updates on social media or hiring a sponsor X. Hopefully I will one day find my way to be associated with either of the franchise and align my professional career with my passion.
