This book examines the ways in which sport for development and
peace (SDP) offers an opportunity for entrepreneurship to take
place through and within sport, and how innovation in the context
of SDP contributes to social and economic value for
underrepresented and marginalised groups and individuals. Written
by a team of leading international SDP researchers, and featuring
the voices of active SDP practitioners, the book examines the ways
in which entrepreneurs seek to use sport and/or social innovation
in and through sport to achieve their goals of social and economic
development. It explores the strategies that SDP organizations and
practitioners are utilizing in the current neoliberal moment to not
only survive during economic hardship - particularly during the
COVID 19 crisis - but also to thrive, drawing on important concepts
such as innovation, risk taking, proactiveness and opportunity
seeking. It also considers how nongovernmental organizations,
companies, governments, and communities are working to tackle
development issues in SDP using non-traditional forms of
organization and management, such as social enterprise models.
Combining cutting-edge research with reflections on best practice
in the field, this book is important reading for any advanced
student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in the
sociology of sport, sport for development, sport management,
development studies, social enterprise or innovation.
The Fourth International Working Conference on Statistical and
Scientific Data Base Management (IV SSDBM) held on June 21-23, 1988
in Rome, Italy, continued the series of conferences initiated in
California in December 1981. The purpose of this conference was to
bring together database researchers, users and system builders,
working in this specific field, to discuss the particular points of
interest, to propose new solutions to the problems of the domain
and to expand the topics of the previous conferences, both from the
theoretical and from the applicational point of view. The papers of
four scientific sessions dealt with the following topics: knowledge
base and expert system, data model, natural language processing,
query language, time performance, user interface, heterogeneous
data classification, storage constraints, automatic drawing, ranges
and trackers, and arithmetic coding. Two other special sessions
presented work on progress papers on geographical data modelling,
spatial database queries, user interface in an Object Oriented SDB,
interpretation of queries, graphical query language and knowledge
browsing front ends. The conference also had three invited papers
on topics of particular interest such as "Temporal Data,"
"Statistical Data Management Requirements" and "Knowledge Based
Decision Support Systems," included in this volume. The
introductory paper by M. Rafanelli provides both an introduction to
the general concepts helpful to people outside the field and a
survey of all the papers in these Proceedings. Furthermore, there
were three open panels. Papers by the chairmen, contributions of
the panelists and a summary of the respective discussions are
included in this volume, too.
