Executive Summary
Olympic Turnaround tells for the first time how the future of one of the world's iconic institutions was secured. It is the story of a fine balancing act as an amateur organisation struggled with and eventually embraced the business world. But it did so on its own terms, maintaining its identity, not compromising its core values and, in the process, establishing many of the ground rules of today's sport marketing industry. Olympic Turnaround is also the story of the broadcast industry's love affair with sport. It charts how companies began to understand the power of sport as a marketing and promotional tool. It is also a cautionary tale of success and failure - about how some nations learned to embrace the potencial of hosting the world, while others, through short-sighted local political agendas, failed to see the bigger picture. Packed with previously untold stories and case studies, this is the commercial story of the world's most valuable and important franchise, the largest event in the world, the Olympic Games. |
