dc.description.abstract | Organising the Olympic Games is a highly complex management task
that involves many individuals and stakeholder groups. In 2000, Australia’s
largest city, Sydney, staged the Summer Olympic Games. The agency given
primary responsibility for the staging of these Games was the Sydney
Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG). Two additional
organisations also played a significant role in the organisation of the Sydney
Games. These two organisations were the Australian Olympic Committee
(AOC) and the New South Wales (NSW) Government.
This doctoral research investigated the part played by the AOC, as the
host national Olympic committee (NOC), in the organisation of the Sydney
2000 Olympic Games. The study examined the AOC’s involvement in the
establishment of an independent Olympic agency that was called the SOCOG
Sports Commission (SSC). The research explored the impact of the SSC on the
organisation and management of the SOCOG Sport Program at the Sydney
Games, which was managed by a SOCOG functional area known as the
SOCOG Sport Program. The study investigated how the organisational power
relations maintained by the AOC, through the formation of the SSC, influenced
and shaped the management of the SOCOG Sport Program, and whether as a
result of this involvement the organisation of sport received a high priority
within SOCOG. | |
