Write a brief methods section in which you describe four characteristics in four subsections about your proposed study. The first subsection (Subjects) describes the population from which you plan to sample and all relevant sampling considerations. The second subsection (Design) should describe the general research design you plan to use: Experimental, ex post facto, correlational, participant-observer, historical, etc. Include a statement suggesting which data analysis method you would propose (e.g., ANOVA, multiple regression, grounded theory, etc.). Make sure that your design is consistent with your stated research question and hypotheses. For example, if you are interested in exploring group differences or experimental effects, the research question and hypotheses should be written in the language of contrast. If you are interested in exploring some phenomena in significant depth using qualitative methods, your research should be stated consistently with that approach. The third subsection (Measures) of the Methods should describe all dependent (outcome) measures you plan on studying and any available psychometric information pertaining to their reliability and validity. The fourth subsection (Procedure) spells out the actual steps you will take to conduct your study.

There is no specific organization that must be followed in completing the paper. This will be left up to the good judgment and creativity of each student. The topic must pertain to some aspect of sport that affects sport managers. I expect this presentation to be “cutting edge” information. This is NOT a just a report on a topic. I want the most recent most up-to-date information. The paper MUST be in the form of a “case study”. The definition I have adopted is “a case study is a research method that provides an in-depth, multi-faceted understanding of a complex topic in its real-world context. It is an established research design that is used extensively in a wide variety of disciplines, including sport management”. In other words a case study is a puzzle that must be solved. The first thing to remember about presenting a case study is that the case should have a problem for the viewers to solve. The case should have enough information in it that viewers can understand what the problem is and, after thinking about it and analyzing the information, the viewers should be able to come up with a proposed solution. Creating an interesting case study is a bit like writing a detective story. You want to keep your readers very interested in the situation.
