Management of sport event-ice hockey

V diplomskem delu smo predstavili nekaj teoretičnih izhodišč vloge managerja pri organizaciji športne prireditve. Opisali in analizirali smo hokej na ledu v Sloveniji. Osredotočili smo se na organizacijski pristop in udeležbo na svetovnem prvenstvu v hokeju na ledu. To smo spoznali skozi prizmo novinarskega poklica, natančneje ob delu televizijskega komentatorja. Analizirali smo potek svetovnega prvenstva v hokeju na ledu v Ostravi na Češkem. Ugotavljamo, da je vloga managerja pri organizaciji športne prireditve ključnega pomena, saj morajo biti managerji pripravljeni in usposobljeni za spremembe, še zlasti pri športnih prireditvah, katere potekajo v živo. Naloge in vloge managerja so lahko primerljive nalogam televizijskega športnega komentatorja. Pogosto točen scenarij športne prireditve ne more biti pripravljen vnaprej. Tako je tudi končni izdelek nemogoče vnaprej preveriti in urediti. Pri komentiranju v živo so možnosti za razne napake večje in le malo je časa in priložnosti za popravke. Zaradi narave dela je stres komentatorskega poklica tako kot pri mangerjih njihov pogosti spremljevalec.Management of sporting events is considered by many the most important area of sports management. A large part of the positive image of the public sport is based precisely on sporting events and their organization. In this thesis, we present some theoretical issues of the role of manager in the organization of sporting events. We describe and analyze ice hockey in Slovenia. We focus on the organizational approach and participation in the World Championship in ice hockey which we have learnt through the prism of journalism, specifically a television commentator. We analyze the course of the world championship in ice hockey in Ostrava in the Czech Republic and find out that the role of the manager in the organization of sporting events is crucial, since managers must be willing and able to change, especially in live sporting events. The tasks and a role of the manager are easily comparable with those of a television sports commentator. Often the exact scenario of a sporting event cannot be prepared in advance. It is therefore impossible to check and edit the final product. In commenting on live events the possibilities for various major mistakes are bigger, and there is little is time and opportunity for correction. Comm entators are like managers due to the nature of work frequently accompanied by stress
