The global expansion of sports has accomplished a transformation from a hegemonic spread, such as people in the colonies received from modern sports in the suzerainty of the colonial era to the diffusion of comodificated spectator sports after the World War II. The expansion of baseball after the 1990′s can be regarded as a model for the construction of interdependent relations on an earth scale which is based on the existence of a professional league in Latin America and the east Asian nations under the MLB, and the expansion of the market and the network for player recruitment to the baseball barren areas such as Europe and Africa. This article discusses professional baseball in China that started in the 1990′s when the globalization of professional baseball was advanced. First, a general view of the history of baseball in this country is related, based on previous work. Then it discusses whether CBL, a particular professional sports league with a certain meaning, which hasn’ t constructed its earning system get, will be able to get on the right track as a sports industry in the future and whether the Beijing Olympic Games can provide an opportunity to do so is argued according to the results obtained in 2008 by the questionnaire used at the Beijing Olympic Stadium.    It is difficult to forecast the image of the future of CBL. Optimistic observation can be derived from the high percent of opinion that watching the Olympic baseball game is good chance of playing baseball and watching CBL games. But it is uncertain whether this result reflects the testee′s continuous intention. On the other hand, pessimism is derived from the result that the interest in baseball doesn′t directly connect with the popularity of a domestic league, according to the development of media.

The Japanese professional soccer league, J-League, has organized and conducted annually a Rookie Transition Program since its inaugural season of 1993. In the 2004 season, rookie players were required to attend a 3-day-symposium, to pass an examination in the laws of the game and to do some voluntary work in the local community and at the stadium. The aims of the Rookie Transition Program are to make rookie players aware of what a professional athlete should be, to assist them to adopt smoothly a new life as a professional athlete and to make them appreciate the value of the J-League. After re-examining the J-League's previous programs and researching the Rookie Transition Program of the National Basketball Association and the National Football League, both of which are the most successful professional sports leagues in the U.S., the J-League came up with the following policies : 1) not to teach what the J-League wants to teach, but let them feel what players need to know, 2) to make each session short and entertaining, and 3) to deal with as many topics to learn as possible. This paper explains how the J-League planned and evaluated the 2004 Rookie Transition Program. The purposes of this study are to search for better methods for conducting the J-League Rookie Transition Program and to design a model for the rookie transition programs in professional sports leagues.

The purpose of this research was to clarify the factors related with student satisfaction and the requirements for career development for Japan’s first English sport management graduate program that fosters international sport managers, and the ideal graduate program necessary to develop human resources who can play an active role as leaders in the international sport world in Japan. A chi-square test was performed by cross tabulating each factor to clarify the relationship between “total satisfaction” and “satisfaction” of individual categories, “total career necessity”, and “career necessity” of individual categories according to the results of the TIAS graduate survey. The results indicate that there is a significant difference in the satisfaction level of the subjects in Olympic and Paralympic education and a common ground between the high group and the non-high group of total satisfaction of the graduates as a factor that affects satisfaction level. In addition, for services other than lecture content, there was a significant difference in terms of “Quality of lectures”, “Opportunities for good communication with lecturers” and “High academic support for lecture’s students”, which also represent high and non-high groups of overall satisfaction. Conversely, from the viewpoint of the career requirements of graduates, the content of the lectures differs from the satisfaction of graduates, and all lectures in the “Sport management field” have a significant difference between the high group and the non-high group of comprehensive career requirements. In addition, for services other than lecture content, unlike the results obtained regarding satisfaction, there was also a significant difference in the quality of opportunity provision between the high and the non-high group overall career needs groups and “Quality of external collaboration”, “Quality of industry network”, “Quality of students”, “Quality of administrative service” and “Quality of providing career opportunities”.

Although previous researches have suggested that Team Identification (Team ID) and Place Attachment are positively correlated, the causal relationship between them has not been clarified sufficiently.    In this research we attempted to verify the hypothesis that “inhabitants who have raised the Team ID will raise Place Attachment, compared to the inhabitants who have not raised it.” The investigation method was a longitudinal survey focused on inhabitants of Imabari City, designed to assess the change in the Team ID and Place Attachment.    The results of the two-way ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference between the Place Attachment of inhabitants who had raised the Team ID and those who had not. Place Attachment of the former increased, and thus the hypothesis was supported.    The causal relationship between Team ID and Place Attachment been clarified by this research, however, the existence and the influence of other parameters have not been clarified. In order to clarify the mechanism between Team ID and Place Attachment, accumulation of expert knowledge will be required.

The Nihon Sumo Kyokai has been making local tours in addition to holding its regular tournaments. Until 2001, the tours were sponsored by companies and operated by the Kyokai itself. In 2002, the Kyokai lost the sponsors and it became difficult to maintain the business model of the tour. So, from 2003, the Kyokai decided to change the business model and began to sell each event of the tour to local promoters.  In this paper the background and purposes of the change of the business model are examined, and the influence of this change is considered.  As the result of the change, the Kyokai became free from the financial risk of the tour. But at the same time, the number of events of the tour decreased because the number of local promoters who had ability to take the financial risk of the event was not enough.  The Kyokai has a philosophy of trying to popularize sumo, and local tours are one of the means to attain it. But it seems there is a trade-off between this philosophy and financial risk of local tours. If the Kyokai wants to hedge the risk, the number of events of the local tours will decrease, so the Kyokai will not be able to attain the philosophy. If the Kyokai has a strong will to attain the philosophy and to hold more events, its financial risk will become larger.

In recent years, various measuring instruments have been introduced in baseball fields, and various kinds of objective data can be collected immediately. However, the method of utilizing the data in the coaching field is still being searched for. In order to utilize objective data in the baseball coaching scene, it is necessary to examine the relations between various subjective aspects of players and coaches and the objective data. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the feeling of swinging a bat and swing speed, and to obtain a reference for coaching practice and future research. The subjects were five fielders belonging to the X Baseball Team. Subjective evaluation was performed using VAS on the feeling of swinging the bat during 20-23 days of practice. At the same time, the swing speed was measured. The correlation between the subjective evaluation of the feeling of swinging the bat and the swing speed was verified. As a result, no significant correlation was observed in all five subjects. It was suggested that there was no relationship between the feeling of swinging the bat and the swing speed.

Independent baseball leagues were established in Japan after the decline of the industrial league because of the recession in the 1990′s and confusion about the reorganization of the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in 2004. Though four leagues have been inaugurated up to now, their management situation is not strong and several teams face a crisis situation.    This paper discusses a future view of community-based small sports businesses and a strategy for sustenance through comparison of minor league business in Japan and North America, based on fieldwork carried out in 2009 from a perspective that considered independent baseball leagues that have attracted attention in recent years and farm leagues of the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) as “Minor Leagues” .    This paper introduces the marketing strategies of MLB utilizing farm teams, and the management of 3A class minor league baseball teams linked to the activation strategy of the franchise city and current states of minor league business differentiated from major league business as an amusement commodity. Furthermore, problems about independent leagues in Japan not yet established as sport businesses are presented.    For the development of minor league business in Japan in the future, it will be necessary to evaluate the commercial value of the NPB’ s farm team and improve cooperation with independent leagues as the talent reservoir.     Considering the decline of corporate sports, the reduction of participants due to falling birthrate, the decrease in popularity of baseball and the subsidy reduction to Olympic sports by journalizing of national projects, the environments surrounding sports in Japan at present are becoming more severe. Though it seems that the role of minor leagues as starting points for the local activation of sports and as receivers of athletes after graduation as well as player supply sources for the top leagues will grow in the future, in these situations a clear view of the future cannot be drawn yet.

The Israel Baseball League (IBL) that started in the summer of 2007 is one example of the expanding of sports in recent years that has an increasing relation with capital. Most IBL players come from outside of Israel. Players from developed countries participate in the league by using the vacation for their self-actualization. On the contrary, players from developing nations come to obtain provisions of life. This means a "CenterPeripheral" relation is occurring, from the areas where professional baseball has been played to the baseball-barren "Deterritorialized" world of Israel. It is thought Jewish nationalism is a great factor supporting the professional league which suddenly started in Israel, where profits can't be expected from the baseball business. In fact, the IBL carries out the function of getting U.S. immigrants to imagine solidarity with the Jewish community in the native state. At present, professional baseball is in the process of developing a global aspect, supported by the MLB, and in North America a business model of "Independent Leagues" that supplements this flow has appeared. It can be said that the IBL is one of the "Independent Leagues" that is also expanding globally. Though sports have spread from "Central" to "Peripheral" nations as a cultural event before, the current expansion is being accomplished as one of the systems of production. We can see one aspect of how globalization has influenced of sports from this example of IBL.

This study deals with factors affecting the migration of J.League players. The purpose of this study is to describe the reasons why J.League players transfer to foreign football clubs. The data of this study were collected from Internet websites, magazines, newspapers, books that the players published, and statistical reports. In this study, 107 cases were gathered. First in this study, the history of the migration of Japanese football players during 1975-2003 is described and the numbers of cases and the destinations of the players are explained. The pattern of the migration is divided into three periods. The first period is from 1975 to 1992. This period was before the launching of the J.League. In Japan, there had not been any professional football players before 1986. Therefore, small numbers of migration, just 20 cases were found. The second period was from 1993 to 1997. In this period, J.League was started, however because the Japanese national team had never qualified for the World Cup, the reputation of Japanese players was not so high. The last period was after 1998. In this period, the Japanese national team could qualify for the France World Cup and Nakata, Hidetoshi succeeded in playing for the Italian club, 'Perugia'. In this period, the numbers of the migrations of the J.League players greatly increased. This study also shows some factors affecting the migration of the J.League players. The factors were divided into psychological factors, skill and adaptation factors, and socioinstitutional factors. Moreover, our findings regarding these factors support McGovern's paper of 2002.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the subjective feelings of athletes wearing sunglasses while playing sports, using mixed methods research. In Study I, we conducted a free-answered survey, using 50 athletes (Mage = 30.6, SD = 6.6) to clarify subjective feelings of athletes wearing sunglasses while playing sports. Judging from the words of the athletes, data regarding “Physical feelings” (lessening straining of eyes, lessening sensory temperature, fostering performance, improving judgment speed, lessening overstraining, improving visibility, lessening wind effect, preventing drying eyes, and preventing foreign matters entering eyes), and “psychological feelings” (fostering concentration, switching a mood, enhancing motivation, lessening stress, feeling calm, and having psychological distance from others) were extracted. Next, in Study 2, we formed questionnaire items to assess the degree of subjective feelings of wearing sunglasses while playing sports and obtained the responses from 450 athletes (Mage = 21.5, SD = 6.7). We compared the subjective feelings between sports events (track and field, golf, baseball, and tennis). Results showed that track and field athletes scored higher in psychological feelings than baseball and tennis players did. We concluded that there are physical and psychological feelings of athletes regarding wearing sunglasses during sports, and that feelings about wearing sunglasses differ according to the sports events the athletes engage in.

The sport teams owned by corporations have contributed to Japanese competitive sports since the Second World War. But in the 1990s some corporations abolished their teams because of the economic recession. In this tough situation, recently those corporations that haven't chosen to discontinue their teams have tried to change "corporate teams" into "club teams" instead of abolishing them. The patterns of club teams are various, but a common element is that they attempt to develop strong connections between the team and their local area. I would like to take up the "Sakai Blazers", which was established in 2000 with the aim of becoming a club team strongly rooted in the local area in the future, after having been a corporate team owned by Shin-nittetsu. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Sakai Blazers' undertakings focusing on how they raised funds and how they have been acknowledged. The present annual operating expenses of the Blazers are 270 million yen, and almost two-thirds of it is given by Shin-nittetu as advertising expenses, though it has been decided that the funds from Shin-nittetu will be reduced to one-half in 2005. So they have embarked on various new businesses to establish a self-supporting system. For example, they have made a request to the Japan Volleyball Association that V League Organization should adopt a home & away system and admit multiple uniform sponsors. These requests were put into practice in 2003. The Sakai Blazers built up connections with the Sakai City government. They dispatch players to junior high school clubs in Sakai City to teach volleyball, conduct volleyball classes for citizens and hold a sport event called the "Blazers Cup" with funds from the Sakai school board. They put an emblem on the uniforms proclaiming that Sakai would be a city designated by an ordinance, with funds from the city. When the Blazers was established, they had no connections based in the local area, other than that with Shin-nittetu. In three years they set up these financial networks, since positive acknowledgement is indispensable.

It has been said that sponsoring in-house sports teams can help to increase teamwork and loyalty within a firm, though sufficient evidence-based studies have not been done to substantiate this claim. This research aimed to examine the positive impact of a corporate sponsored sports team on its employees, primarily by measuring the following three factors ; 1) corporate shared-value, 2) both internal and external communications, and 3) employees’ attachment to and pride for the company. A questionnaire was sent to all 28,000 employees of Seino Holdings Co., Ltd., which sponsors a corporate baseball team for its employees, and 6,440 valid responses were received. 36.1% of the respondents said they had interest in the team, while 35.7% answered they were neutral toward it, and 28.8% answered that they were not interested in it. Furthermore, 12.3% of the respondents answered that they had participated in the baseball team activities. Both of the groups that showed interest or participated in the team scored higher in all three factors, compared to non-interest / non-participants (p<0.01). The results suggest that engagement of employees in corporate sponsored sports teams contributes to a deepening of inter-organizational relationships, helps to cultivate a collaborative corporate culture, and increases team spirit.

The spectators attending sports in a stadium, who are the object of this study, are indispensable for professional sports. The purpose of this paper was to clarify the factors related to the frequency of stadium attendance. The factors clarified will be important materials to marketing managers regarding customer retention. The data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 362 people(men=180, women=182) who had been to the stadiums once or more in 1993 to watch the franchise games of Sanfrecce Hiroshima, which is one of the teams in the Japan Professional Soccer League. The procedure of this study was, first, to examine which items are related to the frequency of stadium attendance by applying X<SUP>2</SUP> test and hypothesis testing of Kendall's rank correlation to the data, and second, to identify which factors affected the frequency by using multiple regression analysis . As the result, there were three factors affecting the frequency of stadium attendance : the number of the players the spectators knew by name, the time required to get to the stadiums, and the degree to which the spectators regarded themselves as supporters.
