Can strategic management of professional football clubs lead to a sustainable advantage? : prediction of success and failure of German professional football clubs
- The dissertation comprises four manuscripts that aim to enhance the knowledge on strategic man-agement of professional football clubs within Germany, especially with regard to the prediction of success. Apart from manuscript A which is a review of extant literature of football manage-ment variables leading to success, and manuscript B, which is a qualitative investigation on sus-tainable success factors affecting professional football clubs, the remaining manuscripts C and D comprise two empirical studies; they can be further partitioned in manuscript C, investigating the prediction of failure with the worst-case scenario of bankruptcy and manuscript D, covering the prediction of failure and success in a proof of concept based on machine learning.
