Abstract

Global, national and regional sport organizations heavily rely on logistics management practices in their operations. However, scientific research in sports logistics is in its infancy, with conceptualizations of the sport logistics domain proposed only recently. In response and by using a reoccurring professional sport event as a case, this study applies the Sports Logistics Framework (SLF) to systematically assess logistics activities, organizational structures, resources and components. Based on semi-structured interviews, unstructured participant observation, internal documents and additional secondary data, our findings not only provide insights into the logistics operations behind a matchday of one of the leading and most valuable sport competitions in the world, but also contextualize, illustrate and refine the logistical tasks of the SLF, thereby providing a template which can be used for further comparison and examination of logistics activities at similar sport events.

摘要

全球，国家和地区体育组织在运营中严重依赖物流管理实践。但是，体育物流领域的科学研究还处于起步阶段，关于体育物流领域的概念化只是在最近才提出的。作为回应，并以经常发生的专业体育赛事为例，本研究应用体育物流框架（SLF）来系统地评估物流活动，组织结构，资源和组成部分。基于半结构化访谈，非结构化参与者观察，内部文件和其他辅助数据，我们的发现不仅可以洞悉世界领先和最有价值的体育比赛之一的比赛日后的物流运作，而且可以根据具体情况进行说明并完善SLF的后勤任务，
