The Mission
These case reviews are being built in partnership with Sports Biz Cares, Ltd, a 501(c)(3) public charity serving to increase social mobility for high school students through education, while expanding diversity in the sports industry. All Case Reviews will be made available for free to high school/secondary school educators who wish to integrate SBCR into their curriculum. Additionally, ten percent (10%) of all proceeds will be donated to the Sports Biz Cares general fund, supporting high school-aged, diverse, aspiring sports professionals. Staying true to our approach to use sports as the backdrop to help students develop skills that are universally valued, content will be delivered centering on professional development and the practical application of in-class learning. These case reviews can stand alone, or be woven into existing curriculum to supplement or enhance the current learning experience.

The Sport Management Case Studies Repository is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between Dr. Jess Dixon at the University of Windsor and Dr. Orland Hoeber at the University of Regina. It combines Dr. Dixon’s work in collecting and organizing case study material to support teaching sport management topics with Dr. Hoeber’s interest in developing and studying interactive search interfaces to support complex search tasks. The underlying software was developed by Santiago Félix, under the supervision of Dr. Hoeber.
