(Threshold Expectations from UIF)Apply theoretical issues relating to relevant aspects of sport and recreation management to a sport event.Analyse the ways in which key management approaches are practiced within the sport industryHow do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?A critical review of the organisation’s current event practice (including product and service portfolio/provision), as well as an examination of the internal and external environments so as to 1) establish the degree to which there is a ‘strategic fit’ between event planning practice and business environment and 2) generate a range of viable, evidence-based, evaluations. This will necessitate the considered use of key strategic analysis tools, as well as the appropriate use of supportive literature.It is important to note the assessment task requires you to “critically review” the organisation’s event planning practice.

In short, show your working!How does this assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?
