Entrepreneurial behaviour of sports clubs in contributing to societal goals (2015)

Despite the increasingly important role of sports clubs in implementing local health policy, indepth understanding of how sports clubs can actively contribute to societal goals is lacking. This research will therefore focus on social entrepreneurial behaviour of sports clubs, defined as “sports clubs that create, discover and exploit opportunities to contribute to societal goals” (adapted from Masurel (2013)). The objective of this research is to contribute to the improvement of the social entrepreneurial role of sports clubs by answering the main research question of this study: “What recommendations can be made to both sports clubs and municipalities on how to enhance the social entrepreneurial role of sports clubs?”
