Znaczenie kultury w procesie organizacji imprez sportowych (The meaning of culture in the process of organising sports events)

This publication is dedicated towards exploring the issues related to an influence of cultural factors on organisation and management of sporting events. The majority of contemporary sport federations and organisations are multicultural entities. Such aspect of multiculturality poses challenges, as while the members of such organisations are inclined towards co-operation and they naturally engage into various interactions, misunderstandings and conflicts may arise if some issues are left unchecked. For the managing and organising cadre, the future development and evolution of sport disciplines constitutes a challenge on both local and international level. Moreover, c-level officials in the aforementioned (usually multicultural) organisations are most likely to be exposed to such topics as their role is to overcome organisational obstacles throughout the life cycle of any kind of a sporting event regardless of size and scale. The actions of sporting organisations should be built on openness, as such culture should empower and streamline necessary actions, while allowing for the organising cadre to open-up and increase the amount of interactions with their environment.
