Risk Management Strategies in Sports Event Planning: A Multi-Case Study Approach

With the rapid growth of the sports industry, the scale and complexity of sports events have significantly increased. Consequently, risk management has become a critical component in ensuring the safety and efficient organization of such events. This study investigates risk management practices in sports event planning by employing a combination of literature review and case study methodology to systematically analyze the types, causes, and corresponding mitigation strategies of event-related risks. The research emphasizes key issues such as the systematic identification of potential risks and the establishment of effective risk assessment and response mechanisms. Through the examination of representative domestic and international event cases, this study reveals that risks associated with sporting events are characterized by diversity and dynamism. Therefore, a comprehensive management framework encompassing risk identification, evaluation, response, and continuous monitoring should be established. Technological advancements and interdepartmental collaboration play a pivotal role in enhancing the effectiveness of risk management systems. Nevertheless, this study acknowledges certain limitations, including restricted data coverage and insufficient exploration of emerging risks. Future research could focus on developing predictive risk models through the integration of artificial intelligence and big data analytics.
