Purpose

To understand the football industry in its entirety, a supply chain management (SCM) approach is necessary. This includes the study of suppliers, consumers and their collaborations. The purpose of this study was to present a business management model based on supply chain management.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 academic and executive football experts. After three steps of open, axial and selective coding based on grounded theory with a paradigmatic approach, the data were analysed, and a football supply chain management (FSCM) was developed. The proposed model includes three managerial components: upstream suppliers, the manufacturing firm, and downstream customers.

Findings

The football industry sector has three parts: upstream suppliers, manufacturing firm/football clubs and downstream customers. We proposed seven parts for the managerial processes of football supply chain management: event/match management, club management, resource and infrastructure management, customer relationship management, supplier relationship management, cash flow management and knowledge and information flow management. This model can be used for configuration, coordination and redesign of business operations as well as the development of models for evaluation of the football supply chain's performance.

Originality/value

The proposed model of a football supply chain management, with the existing literature and theoretical review, created a synergistic outcome. This synergy is presented in the linkage of the players in this chain and interactions between them. This view can improve the management of industry productivity and improve the products quality.

从供应链管理的角度看足球行业的企业管理

目的

要全面了解足球行业，需要采用供应链管理 (SCM) 方法。这包括对供应商、消费者及其合作的研究。本研究的目的是提出一种基于供应链管理的业务管理模型。

设计/方法/方法

数据是通过对 12 位学术和执行足球专家的深入访谈收集的。经过基于扎根理论和范式方法的开放、轴向和选择性编码三个步骤，对数据进行分析，并开发了足球供应链管理（FSCM）。提议的模型包括三个管理组成部分：上游供应商、制造公司和下游客户。

发现

足球产业板块由三部分组成：上游供应商、制造公司/足球俱乐部和下游客户。我们提出了足球供应链管理管理流程的七个部分：赛事/比赛管理、俱乐部管理、资源和基础设施管理、客户关系管理、供应商关系管理、现金流管理和知识和信息流管理。该模型可用于业务运营的配置、协调和重新设计，以及用于评估足球供应链绩效的模型的开发。

原创性/价值

所提出的足球供应链管理模型与现有文献和理论评论相结合，产生了协同效应。这种协同作用体现在这个链条中的参与者之间的联系以及他们之间的互动中。这种观点可以改善对行业生产力的管理，提高产品质量。
