Sport Management #7

  1. How do you feel about bona fide occupational qualifications?
  2. What are the components of a job analysis?
  3. What do you think about promoting from within for pro baseball teams? Why would this work or not work?
  4. Should the interview be the primary criterion in selecting a coach? Why or why not?
  5. What website helps people find jobs in sport?
  6. Suppose the firm you work for has an HR department. What does this mean for you as a manager? What services will this department typically provide? What will you still need to do?
  7. How does setting objectives affect measuring and evaluating training results for a general manager? For a coach? For an athlete?
  8. How does compensation help attract and retain employees? Why do some organizations elect to be low-paying organizations whereas others elect to be high-paying ones?
  9. Why don’t most employees realize how expensive benefits are and how much they contribute to compensation cost?
  10. Do players expect more than they are worth? Or do management and owners take too large a share of the profits for themselves? What do their stances imply for the future of pro sports?
  11. What is the difference between mediators and arbitrators?
  12. Curt Flood’s name is often associated with free agency. But what other players followed Flood to help create the process of free agency?
  13. What is the difference between a strike and a lockout?
  14. How do you feel about the saying that it’s not what you know but who you know that counts in getting a job? Is using connections to get a job a form of positive discrimination? To reduce discrimination, should using connections to get a job be illegal?
  15. What is your view of performance appraisals? How can they be improved?
  16. What pay system do you prefer? What compensation do you expect after graduation? State the pay and the benefits you expect. Add up the pay and benefits to get your compensation. If you can’t estimate the cost of benefits, use 30 percent of your pay (multiply your pay times 0.30 [which is the cost of benefits] and add the result to your pay).
