Absztrakt

Initially, organizations that were active in sports were societies constituted on a
voluntary basis, which means that the organizational frameworks of sports root back
in the non-profit sphere. With the professionalization of sports, however, business
traits came into the foreground, and today consequently sports can be regarded as
an independent, dynamically developing sector. The result of this process is that
in terms of their legal forms sports organizations make up a colourful landscape,
as among them there are sports associations, business entities and even public
benefit foundations in special fields of operations. The form of the enterprise of
any organization defines its structural setup.
Nowadays, in addition to professional successes in sporting activities, Hungarian
sports entities and professional sports enterprises do consider options for the most
effective operations possible, and gather good international practices in order to
establish such business-based sports models in Hungary that are efficiently operable.
The business side of sports is particularly apparent in professional football. On a
global scale, this sport clearly demonstrates the process of structural transformation
that is directed at the realization of the appropriate form of enterprise and structural
setup. This article has been written to describe the English model by presenting the example of Manchester United Football Club.
