In order to capture the largest possible share of stakeholders to any given sport, that sport needs to be bold – to continuously adopt new formats, be all-inclusive, and keep pushing the boundaries in all areas. Do you agree with this? Give examples and references to support your stance. > > Day 2: Reflection – 500 words - Due Wednesday 17 October at 5PM > > Entrepreneurship and innovation in sport is essential as we are always striving to do better – both on the field, and off the field as well. The sporting industry (particularly in Australia) is relatively small in terms of administration, and internally sports are always looking for an extra advantage with how they operate. SO what do you believe is more important? Collaboration with other sports to replicate / share / improve on what is already being done? Or the opposite – sports are competing for market-share with each other so IP should be heavily protected? Or is it a combination of both? Give examples and references to support your stance. > > Assignment 3 - Submission date 24th October (2 copies needed) > > > Day 3: Reflection – 500 words - Due Wednesday 26 October at 5PM > > Times keep getting faster, balls are being hit further, more data is being analysed, athletes can go for longer. The impact of technology on sport performance is undeniable, and can be seen everywhere throughout sport including product development and sport science. How (if at all) is the industry limiting the use of technological innovation? What is your favourite innovation relating to a sport product that you can think of? Why did you choose it? How is it changing the game in sport/s and how long will it continue to do so? Students will need to provide a link to information highlighting / showcasing the innovation they have chosen. > > > Reflection 4 - Group PresentationsAssignment > (1 copy required by Sunday 16th October) > > Funding Presentations > > You are representing a National or State Sporting Organisation, and you are about to sit in front of a panel that is responsible for approving your most recent funding application. > > The application is for a grant for up to $250,000 over three years, to implement one of the following: > > New format / programs for the sport, encouraging greater participation and fan engagement; > Implementation of new internal systems for the sport to improve efficiency, process and performance; > Commitment to programs specifically looking at the recruitment and retention of volunteers; > Commitment to utilise an innovative product to add to your events / core operational activities. > > Students will arrange themselves into groups of four (on day one) and will role-play the funding application final pitch by preparing a 10 minute presentation to the class. > > The number of group members who verbally present to the class is completely up to you, but every group member needs to play a role in the preparation of the presentation content and presentation documentation > > NOTE: each group will be required to submit on the day of the presentation a one-page document that outlines and identifies what each group member was responsible for in the preparation of the presentation. > > Presentations should highlight the: > > core elements of the funding proposal, > giving background to the applications and > an in-depth look into the: > benefits, > resources required, > implementation, and > evaluation of the proposal. > > The PowerPoint presentation, which forms part of your pitch, will also need to be submitted online on the day of the presentation. > > Notes: > > Session four on day two will be set aside for students to work in-class on their presentations. > Presentations will be delivered in the third and fourth sessions of day four where each group will have 10 minutes to pitch to the rest of the class > Class audience will play the role of the judging panel, and will need to ask relevant questions to the presenting group. > An all class vote for the best idea will be undertaken at the end of the session with a prize awarded to the best innovation! > > Final assignment - Innovation Case Study > (2 copies needed by 27th October) > > Innovation Case Study - 2,500 words - due Thursday 17 November at 5pm > > Students will be required to write a 2500 word individual case study on a Sport Innovation of their choice, focusing on how the organisation has demonstrated innovation and entrepreneurship. > > Detailed instructions and materials will be made available to assist in the method to develop and write a case study, however the choice of organisation, problem and sourcing of relevant support materials will be the responsibility of the student. > > Students will need to demonstrate that they have put significant research into the innovation of choice, and show that they have an understanding of the effect that the innovation has had on the organisation. > > The case study should also identify the following: > > History of the innovation; > Where the innovation sits within the industry; > How the organisation came to use the innovation in question; > How does it compare to use in other organisations; > What does the future hold for the innovation of choice. > > Linking the case study back to key topics covered throughout the subject, as well as relevant supporting material and citations will be essential
