“Scandalous!”: Reputation,impression management,and employee assistance programs (EAPs) in the NBA

This case study explores how the National Basketball Association (NBA) can rebuild its reputation in response to recurrent player scandals. The case centers on a reputation management firm that has been contracted by the league. The firm has been asked to develop programs that will permit players to make better decisions in their personal lives. NBA commissioner Adam Silver believes such programs will curb the likelihood of future player scandals, thereby enhancing the players’ lives and limiting their ability to damage the league's reputation. To commence the process, the firm has been invited to sit-in on a meeting with Commissioner Silver and a group of NBA staff members who have past work experiences assisting players with their transition to the NBA.This reputation management case study is positioned in two key areas: impression management and employee assistance programs (EAPs). Upon reading the case, answering the provided questions, and completing the activities, students should come to a better understanding as to how to proactively manage corporate reputation. While fictitious names are given, the case study is based on actual interviews with current NBA staff members. The case is ideal for courses pertaining to strategy, policy, organizational behavior, and human resource management. The case could also be useful for sport marketing and sport finance courses if adapted to investigate how the created programs are important for branding and value.

中国足协纪律处罚现状、问题与立法完善

通过对近三年中国足协纪律处罚实施情况的统计,可以看出纪律处罚被广泛运用,它在规范足球比赛秩序,维护公平竞争环境,促进足球运动健康发展方面发挥了重要的作用。但中国足协纪律处罚在规则制定、处罚程序、被处罚人权利救济等方面也存在着诸多问题,这既影响了纪律处罚作用的发挥,又不利于相对人合法权益的保护,同时也容易造成纪律处罚权的滥用。因此,有必要对中国足协纪律处罚予以完善。通过完善规则的制定,以保证规则的科学性、稳定性;通过保障相对人程序权利,以实现纪律处罚的公正性;通过建立完整的权利救济体系,明确不同救济机制的运行规则,防止权力滥用与权利侵害,这是完善中国足协纪律处罚的基本路径。     

足球中的国民性

现代足球源于英格兰,而传播到世界各地后形成了不同的风格与流派。足球的风格深刻地植根于人类的种族本性。德国足球人所展示出来的沉稳心态源自其民族性格,整体和谐性也是德国人信奉的一种价值观。荷兰人具有文静而谦逊的气质,阿根廷足球更推崇个人英雄主义精神,英格兰足球则以其铁血性见长。中国球员的刻苦、耐劳、尊重权威的态度近似德国人,而中国足球人悠闲、散漫、崇尚杂耍式、炫技式生活方式的风习又和巴西人极为接近,桑巴足球因此很难为中国以及欧美其他国家完全效法。现代足球是欧洲逻各斯主义设计理念、大航海精神的好奇心以及大数据时代的理性主义的融合体。足球中的国民性带给足坛更多的流派、风格的差异之美。

The Norden Associations and international efforts to change history education, 1919–1970: international organisations,education, and hegemonic nationalism

During the interwar period, a number of organisations started to look into education as part of an attempt to understand how nationalism was fuelled through education and to what extent it had forced the outbreak of the Great War. In response to nationalism and a perceived need for reformation of national narratives, the school subjects of history and geography became the primary suspects as advocates of chauvinism and militarism. In 1919, associations for the promotion of understanding and cooperation between the Scandinavian countries – the Norden Associations [föreningarna Norden] – began investigating history textbooks. This revision of textbooks was expanded in the 1930s to explore, assess, and develop the entire teaching of history in the Nordic countries. The Norden Associations converged on many levels with the disparate international movements for educational change. This article presents the Norden Associations as part of a process of hegemonic isomorphism in which cultural hegemony set the institutional boundaries within which the organisations could work in order to attain legitimacy. The article demonstrates how an organisation with a specific political agenda, and with only limited international objectives came to be – not only a part of – but, to some extent, an organisational role model for loftier efforts aimed at global and cosmopolitan history teachings.
