Participants in the business of sport

Abstract

Currently, in the industry of the professional sport, there are groups of actors. These groups are the engine of the de- velopment of this important market with a great growth potential. In this paper, we will analyse the different actors implicated in the professional sport market, their functions and their relationships. Moreover, all these actors can be aggregated in four basic collectives in this important economic sector, the sport industry. These groups, like we’ll develop in this study, are the suppliers, the customers, the intermediaries and the agents of the Sport Business.
