Sport sociology examines sports as a part of cultural and social life, and adds a different dimension and perspective to the study of sport and exercise. More specifically, sport sociology examines the relationship between sports and society and seeks answers to many issues and questions regarding sport and culture. Sociology of sport poses critical and controversial issues; additionally, sports are considered a microcosm of society, the same social issues that exist in larger society also exist in sport culture. I have chosen eight peer-reviewed Sociological Journals to expand upon the understanding of this topic that I found to be the most relevant and offer diverse yet complete perspectives on sports.
In America, despite the number of people who attend church and participate in religious activities, you could assume sports are the new religion. There's the seasonal NASCAR on Sundays and Monday night football, but most sports such as, baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey hold their events on any given day of the week. Many Americans arrange their schedules to either attend or watch these events on television. You could even go so far as to say Americans idolize athletes and sports stars, considering the billions of dollars spent on sporting events and merchandise. We?re very proud of sports and proudly wear our favorite team or player across our chests, on our heads, and display logos on our cars and in our houses.
HP has long been one of the largest and best-respected companies in technology for decades. The company had made multiple M&A throughout the years, some very successful and others not so much. However, the acquisition of Autonomy (of around $11 billion) has earned HP a spot among the worst, most value-destroying acquisition deal of all time. This acquisition deal was said to be a disaster almost from day 1. The decision has been proved controversial, with many shareholders claiming that HP has over-paid. Although nobody could have really guessed the outcome of this deal, they were a few red flags that were raised throughout the entire process that could have saved HP its pride and money. In M&A, post-deal closing surprises are more common than one may think. Of course, a surprise of this magnitude is huge and clearly points to mistakes on HP’s part. Nonetheless, several lessons could be learned from HP’s misfortune. First, the acquiring firm should have a pre-acquisition protocol and respect it. Second, if a red flag is raised, and how ever insignificant, needs to be thoroughly inspected and cleared before continuing. Finally, there should be a post-acquisition plan put in place beforehand and the company should follow it.
