Unit learning outcomes
1. Critically evaluate the complex nature of the economics and finance involved in football and its impact upon the football industry.
2. Apply a range of theory to provide an understanding of the finance and economics of the football industry
What am I required to do in this assignment?
The assessment requires you to prepare a case study (2000 words) during the year, where you will be required to determine the financial performance and position of the provided study.
What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from UIF)
Calculate relevant ratios to determine the financial performance and position of a professional football club and explain the significance of the ratios calculated
Evaluate in what ways political agendas affect the operational environment of football organisations
How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?
A critical review of the organisation’s current financial 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 business practice and financial environment and 2) generate a range of viable, evidence-based, financial evaluations. This will necessitate the considered use of key financial 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 financial practice. This requires that you do not simply state/describe what the organisation does, and why and how it does it; you must be sure to draw upon multiple sources and relevant evidence to establish the viability – the financial fit – of the organisation’s mode and scope of business as it is set against what is a changing industry context.
The generation of viable financial options for new development must also be critically considered against this context. It is not expected that you generate an exhaustive list of options for new development for the case study – rather, only identify, through appropriate analyse, what you deem to be financially significant for the organisation.
This is an evidence-based exercise and as such it is expected that you draw upon a wide-variety of information sources, i.e., policy documents, industry periodical articles, as well as academic publications (book chapters and journal articles). In short, show your working!
How does this assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?
The unit sessions combines formal “summative” (individually case study and project work) and regular informal “formative” (problem-based, cooperative and reflective) modes of delivery, drawing also upon peer review and peer support techniques throughout the unit, so as to emphasise and develop individual as well as collaborative student learning,
