Abstract
The interplay between strategy and environmental analysis is pivotal in the realm of sports. Strategic decisions within sports organisations are profoundly influenced by an astute assessment of the external environment. This involves scrutinising factors such as competitive landscape, technological advancements, regulatory shifts, and fan preferences. A comprehensive environmental analysis enables sports entities to identify industry opportunities and threats, thereby shaping their strategic direction. Effective strategy formulation in sports demands a deep understanding of these external dynamics. The analysis aids in crafting strategies that capitalise on emerging trends, mitigate challenges, and align with the pulse of the audience. Whether it is designing game plans, or making financial investments, a sustainable strategic approach fortified by environmental insights enhances the likelihood of success. In a rapidly evolving sports landscape, characterised by globalisation and digitalisation, the symbiotic relationship between strategy and environmental analysis serves as the compass guiding sports organisations toward their goals.
