Abstract

Abstract Global, national and regional sport organizations heavily rely on logistics management practices in their operations. However, scientific research in sports logistics is in its infancy, with conceptualizations of the sport logistics domain proposed only recently. In response and by using a reoccurring professional sport event as a case, this study applies the Sports Logistics Framework (SLF) to systematically assess logistics activities, organizational structures, resources and components. Based on semi-structured interviews, unstructured participant observation, internal documents and additional secondary data, our findings not only provide insights into the logistics operations behind a matchday of one of the leading and most valuable sport competitions in the world, but also contextualize, illustrate and refine the logistical tasks of the SLF, thereby providing a template which can be used for further comparison and examination of logistics activities at similar sport events.

体育物流框架的应用:以达拉斯牛仔队为例

全球、国家和地区的体育组织在其运作中严重依赖物流管理实践。然而，体育物流的科学研究还处于起步阶段，最近才提出了体育物流领域的概念。作为回应，本研究以一个重复发生的专业体育赛事为例，应用体育物流框架(SLF)系统地评估物流活动、组织结构、资源和组成部分。基于半结构化访谈、非结构化参与者观察、内部文件和额外的辅助数据，我们的研究结果不仅提供了对世界上最重要和最有价值的体育赛事之一比赛日背后的物流运作的见解，而且还对SLF的物流任务进行了背景化、说明和完善，从而提供了一个模板，可用于进一步比较和检查类似体育赛事的物流活动。
