Abstract Small-scale events represent an important asset for the development of tourist destinations. As local stakeholders play a major role in conceptualizing and developing small-scale events, this study sheds light upon stakeholders’ perceptions toward such events. The current study was carried out through qualitative interviews based on the case of the FIS (International Ski Federation) World Junior Alpine Ski Championships 2019. The findings of this study reveal that for small-scale event success, the involvement of local stakeholders in the decision-making process is key. Furthermore, stakeholder involvement makes the decision-making processes when staging an event more effective across all organizational phases. The findings invite event managers and policy makers to involve local stakeholders in the organization processes of small-scale events. The research on small-scale events is enriched by the evidence that partial involvement of the stakeholders in the organizational processes reaches a limit in what Freeman (2010) describes as “stakeholder management capacity”.

小型体育赛事中利益相关者的看法

摘要小规模事件是发展旅游目的地的重要资产。由于本地利益相关者在概念化和发展小型事件中扮演着重要角色，因此本研究揭示了利益相关者对此类事件的看法。当前的研究是基于FIS（国际滑雪联合会）2019年世界青年高山滑雪锦标赛的案例，通过定性访谈进行的。该研究的结果表明，对于小规模赛事的成功，当地利益相关者的参与将对决策产生影响。制作过程很关键。此外，利益相关者的参与使在组织所有阶段的活动进行决策时的决策过程更加有效。调查结果邀请活动管理者和政策制定者让当地利益相关者参与小型活动的组织过程。关于小规模事件的研究得到了丰富的证据，这些证据表明利益相关者在组织过程中的部分参与达到了Freeman（2010）所描述的“利益相关者管理能力”的极限。
