Since management and sports follow the same objective of achieving highest performance, correlations between these two fields nowadays become increasingly interesting in terms of corporate strategy. This paper aims to point out how organisations as well as individuals can benefit from the general and psychological values and strategies of international professional sports, by first looking at the general framework of professional sports and further applying approaches from various types of sports directly to certain business functions like general management, human resource management and marketing management.}, language = {en} }
