Unit V Project Interview A position in sports requires a depth of sports knowledge and understanding, education, and experience, as well as a vast number of responsibilities. One of the best ways to learn more about the area of sports management and sports in society is to talk with someone in the field. For this assignment, contact an athletic director, recreation manager, YMCA Director, or someone who runs an athletic department. If that person is local, please schedule a time and date to meet with this person for a personal interview. If the individual is not local, you may use Skype, Join Me, Zoom, or any other conferencing type application or even speak with the person on the phone, if necessary.

Create at least 12 questions to ask this individual (at least one question per topic) from the following sport-related topics:

 sport management theories,

 responsibilities and duties,

 best practices in sport, BSM 2701, Sociology of Sport 5

 ethical issues in sport,

 globalization of sport,

 media in sports,

 sports and the economy (money and power),

 religion in sports,

 politics in sports,

 gender equality in sports,

 race and ethnicity in sports, and

 children in sports.

Social Media Strategy for Competitive Advantage

Winer (2011) suggests an important feature of services is that because they are often distributed by people, their quality may be inconsistent at different points in time. Many services companies are seeking new methods to distinguish themselves from the competition. The Internet and information technology have provided robust, tangible opportunities for such differentiation.

Using the Nord, Paliszkiewicz and Koohang article in the readings and one additional source from the KU Library, write a persuasive essay on how organizations in the tax services industry can rethink their social media strategy to gain competitive advantage.

Your essay should make use of explanation to demonstrate that one proposal is more reasonable than another idea. A persuasive essay tries to convince a reader to accept a definite point of view. Your paper should range between 2–3 pages of content and include in-text citations for references.

Read the journal article “Using social technologies for competitive advantage: Impact on organizations and higher education.” from the Journal of Computer Information Systems, 55(1), 92–104 by Jeretta Horn Nord, Joanna Paliszkiewicz and Alex Koohang. – SEE ATTACHED
