    Sports Bar Case Study Essay

    One would think that all the hype DC’s Sports bar of Eunice, Louisiana gets that it would be a great restaurant and have a great environment. The owner is Darrin Cobb and his restaurant is run by two of his daughters, Ashley and Brittany Cobb. DC’s serves food from 11:00 am until 10:00 pm and serves alcoholic beverages until 2:00 am. My experience proved the hype about this sports bar wrong. All though the food is exceptional, the environment and service was not.…

    History of Ems

    The History of EMS PARM 102 Prof. Rita Elliott Ivy Tech Community College Feb. 3, 2009 The beginnings of EMS were nothing like the EMS that we know today. The first emergency medical teams started in first half of the 20thcentury and operated out of funeral homes. They would transport the sick and injured to hospitals as well as take the deceased to the funeral home. The funeral home employees had little knowledge of first aid and were in the business only because the hearses were large enough to transport the stretchers. After World War IIthe first real ambulance services began to appear. Although it was a step in a good direction away from the funeral home service, the new ambulance crews were still untrained and poorly equipped. There were no minimum training requirements for employees, so in most cases basic first aid was the only knowledge they had. It was still better than nothing at all. In the late 60’s a national standard of training for pre-hospital care personnel was established. It involved a series of presentations, manuals, and slides. It was the first attempt at basic training requirements for EMS. 9-1-1 had its beginnings in the late 60’s also. The number was beginning to be recognized and set aside as the number for emergencies. Although the EMS system was beginning to improve in the 60’s, there was still a lack of consistency. Few states had written a standard of training yet. The ambulances and the equipment carried on them was poor quality also. The aid bags could weigh as much as 100 pounds and was very inconvenient to carry in emergencies. Radio communication in the 60’s was also unreliable. An estimated five percent of ambulances had any communication with hospitals. Also, many ambulances would only transport patients to their own hospital, regardless of how close another hospital was, or how much better equipped another hospital was for the situation. In 1970the national registry of Emergency Medical Technicians was established. The…

    Disadvantages Of The Union And Confederacy

    The Union and Confederacy both had advantages and disadvantages. The North had better advantages because they had a higher populace, more industry, and better assets than the South. It had a better banking system that they could rely upon to help them raise money for the fight. Furthermore, the North had more ships and a had a proficient and larger railroad framework. On the other hand, the South had the benefit of fighting in a familiar region protecting their property, homes, and families. Another favorable position that the South had was having that military training background on the battle field. The disadvantage that happened in the North were attempting to take the Southerners back to the Union, and by doing that they would need to attack and hold the South in their intimidating populace. The South faced material disadvantages. They had a smaller population of free man to manufacture an armed force. It had a couple of facilities to help distribute weapons, food, and other supplies. The South experienced issues conveying food, weapons, and supplies to…

    While I encourage most basketball players to go to college and advance their education to the next level, those special individuals whose athletic ability gives them the opportunity to provide for themselves and compete at the highest level should not be denied the opportunity based the current requirement that players must be 19 years old to play for the NBA. High school basketball players should be mature enough to make their own decisions about their career paths, so the NBA shouldn't deny them.

    Introduction The new complexity of the sport sector has a strong impact on the implementation of sport products that nowadays are an expression of manifold subjects. Planning, production, distribution and communication of sport contents involve numerous actors who participate in the implementation of sport with diversified roles and importance: sport organizations, athletes, institutions and local administrations, sponsors, media, etc. Fans and supporters are of course of central importance to sport service production. The passion, excitement, involvement expressed by the audience has a crucial role for event implementation and value creation. Due to the importance of fans as “co-producers” of the sport service, the hypothesis of this research is that a fan community is a salient stakeholder in the value co-creation process. This research focuses on a fan community of a specific professional football case, the ACF Fiorentina the Florence, Italy football club - a “rich” example for identifying and analyzing the manifold influences and interactions that fans can engage in with their team, the local context and the network of actors as a whole. The knowledge of this case study has profited from several investigations, research and theses carried out within the Master‟s Degree in Sport Management at the University of Florence. We started to monitor the football club and the relations with the local stakeholders since the year 2003 - after the club‟s failure and its “rebirth” when the team went to an owner that for the first time ever was “non Florentine” - up to the last 2009/2010 football season. To develop this case study a quali-quantitative methodology was used. The analysis of the fan community starts with an examination of the Fiorentina‟s ticket season holders database that…

    Real Madrid Case

    From its beginnings in 1902, the Spanish soccer club Real Madrid CF has set the standards of a championship soccer organization. Bernabeu, Real Madrid CF appointed president (1943), created the strongest brand in soccer synonym of prestige and champions, wining 6 European Cups.

In 2000, Florentino Perez defeated Sanz for the club presidency and promised to deliver superstar players in addition to restoring the club finances and profitability. With Perez arrival, he noted that the club's operations and marketing approach did not match its reputation in sports.
