The Game Changer powerfully demonstrates how some organisations in business and sport have done more than raise their performance; they have also changed the rules of the game or the game itself within their industry. It gives examples of the strategies and governance programmes, and the challenges of executing them.

“With the publication of the brilliant Making Sport Great Again, Professor David L. Andrews firmly establishes himself as the leading social theorist of sport in late-capitalist consumer culture. There is no better scholarly guide to the politicized and politicizing nature and influence of contemporary sports on society than Andrews’ perceptive words and always-challenging ideas. Theoretically rich and empirically grounded, Making Sport Great Again is both an intellectual and political intervention into the hyper-commodified, commercialized spectacle that is modern corporate uber-sport, a diagnostic analysis of neo-liberal sports cultures of the highest order that deserves to become an instant classic.” —Ben Carrington, Associate Professor of Sociology and Journalism, University of Southern California, USA “One of the world’s leading scholars in sport and physical cultural studies, Andrews offers an expertly crafted and potent analysis of the complex relationship between sport and politics, with particular focus on the Trump era. Highly recommended as essential reading for anyone and everyone interested in understanding the intricate webs of power relations that weave sport, politics, culture and the economy together in ways that impact bodies and minds, the world over.” —Holly Thorpe, Professor of Health, Sport and Human Performance, University of Waikato, New Zealand Blending critical theory, conjunctural cultural studies, and assemblage theory, Making Sport Great Again introduces and develops the concept of uber-sport: the sporting expression of late capitalism’s conjoined corporatizing, commercializing, spectacularizing, and celebritizing forces. On different scales and in varying spaces, the uber-sport assemblage is revealed both to surreptitiously reinscribe the neoliberal preoccupation with consumption and to nurture the individualized consumer subject. Andrews further probes how uber-sport normalizes the ideological orientations and associate affective investments of the Trump assemblage’s authoritarian populism. Even as it articulates the regressive politicization of sport, Making Sport Great Again serves also as a call to action: how might progressives rearticulate uber-sport in emancipatory and actualizing political formations? .

This book gathers a selection of papers presented at the 2018 International Conference on Software Process Improvement (CIMPS 2018). CIMPS 2018 offered a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the latest innovations, trends, findings, experiences and concerns in Software Engineering, embracing several aspects such as Software Processes, Security in Information and Communication Technology, and Big Data. Two of the conference’s main aims were to support the drive toward a holistic symbiosis of the academic world, society, industry, government and business community, and to promote the creation of networks by disseminating the results of recent research in order to align their needs. CIMPS 2018 was made possible by the support of the CIMAT A.C., CUCEI (Universidad de Guadalajara, México), AISTI (Associação Ibérica de Sistemas e Tecnologas de Informação), and ReCIBE (Revista electrónica de Computación, Informática, Biomédica y Electrónica).

The study explores the underlying motives and processes why and how corporate sponsors and professional football clubs in Germany enter into an additional share deal given the contradictory nature of corporations (monetary driven) and football clubs (maximising sporting success while operating in economic equilibrium). This work aims to generate theory within the specific field of professional football and to provide recommendations for action.
