Ressourcenallokationen verschiedener Sportarten im int. Vergleich

In the context of the growing economic and social significance of sports, public sports funding and sports sponsorship are playing an increasingly important role. Both in Germany and at the international level, there are differences in the allocation of resources among various sports. How can the unequal distribution of financial, material, and personnel support be explained? Which are the most popular and most funded sports, and which are considered niche or trend sports? The author, Svenja Kölling, provides an introductory overview of the methods of resource allocation in the sports sector. Building on this, she conducts a comparative analysis of sports funding in Germany and the USA, focusing on the sports of soccer, American football, and baseball. Finally, she illustrates her findings with the help of a self-conducted study.
