Having learned how sport is organized, managed, funded, and governed in different world regions, as well as their underpinning cultural considerations, you are to identify a current issue in sport management within a specific nation or world region. You can choose from a wide range of issues/topics, (i.e., global sponsorships and endorsements, financing, corruption, FIFA, the Olympics, governing bodies/sport governance issues, the growth of a specific sport, sport and politics, sport and COVID-19, or another issue of your choice), but choose one that is of interest. However, it must be an international sport issue impacting the world. You will then be asked to provide a solution to the identified issue. Your research paper will be organized as follows:

In part I, you are to introduce the selected issue. Provide and introduction and overview of the topic. Also discuss why you choose this subject. Identify the issueàsignificance for international sport managers. In other words, answer why is it an issue of concern for the world? 

For part II, you are to present an overview of the literature that has been published on this issue. Consult the Drexel library website as well as Google Scholar for your research; do not just look for popular culture articles and news websites. After completing your research, explain what the published literature says concerning this issue. You should be researching and analyzing this issue from a business, governance, economic, political, and cultural standpoint. This section should include sub-sections where you discuss your research and analysis from these various standpoints. 

In part III, you will propose your recommendations to address the selected issue based on your research and understanding of the topic. This section should be organized so that you explain your recommendation in a detailed manner. I am not looking for generalities. Assess how your suggested solution will address the issue. In other words, why would this be an effective solution? This should be a practical solution; you will also want to address the cultural context of this issue.

Part IV will be your conclusion, where you summarize each previous section of your research paper. You should also explain why addressing this issue will help the world of global sport. Finish with a few concluding remarks.
