SPT-200 Sport Business covers sport marketing strategies, financial management in sports, and legal aspects of the industry, applying frameworks like SWOT analysis and the Sport Marketing Mix to real case studies. The course extends SPT-111's foundational overview into deeper, more integrated business analysis specific to the sport industry.
Three business dimensions integrated, not siloed
The course covers marketing, finance, and legal dimensions of sport business together, teaching students that these business functions genuinely interact within real sport organizations, not operating as separate, unconnected departments.
The Sport Marketing Mix as a genuine industry-specific framework
SPT-200's use of the Sport Marketing Mix framework specifically, rather than generic marketing mix models, reflects that sport marketing has genuinely distinct dynamics — fan loyalty, live event experience — that a generic business framework wouldn't fully capture.

Frequently asked questions
Real sport organizations must genuinely coordinate marketing, financial, and legal decisions simultaneously — a marketing campaign has financial and legal implications, and financial decisions shape what marketing is even possible — meaning studying these dimensions in complete isolation would miss how they actually interact in practice. SPT-200 integrates them because sport business decision-making genuinely requires this cross-functional awareness, not siloed departmental knowledge.
Sport marketing involves genuinely distinct dynamics — fan loyalty and identity, the live event experience, media rights complexity — that a generic marketing mix model designed for typical consumer products doesn't fully capture. SPT-200 uses this sport-specific framework because it produces genuinely more relevant and applicable marketing analysis for the sport industry than a one-size-fits-all business marketing approach.
