Purpose

This study analyses the impact of institutional logics on the outcomes of a sporting event's risk process.

Design/methodology/approach

The research design is an exploratory case study of the 2017 Road World Cycling Championship using a qualitative approach. By drawing on multiple sources, documents and experiences of six key stakeholders the richness of the qualitative data were utilised to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of institutional logics on the process.

Findings

Stakeholders relied on different organisational and professional logics in arguments for certain risk preferences and strategies. Further, the logics behind stakeholder attention varied between stakeholder groups and within a stakeholder group. This led to a tension-filled relationship amongst stakeholders working in the same organisation and between those in different organisations. Finally, new professional practices emerged; however, there were also unintended consequences, such as a large financial deficit, with a significant part of the cost overrun being the risk assessment work.

Research limitations/implications

The study includes a case study of a major sporting event that was arranged some years ago. Events are usually organised as temporary projects in collaboration with public sector organisations and must be arranged in accordance with the logics of efficiency as well as meeting the particular needs of citizens. Assuming similar risk planning processes may occur in other contexts is reasonable.

Originality/value

The study contributes to knowledge about the impact of logics on the outcome of risk planning and improves scholars' understanding of risk management and the outcomes of planning mega-sporting events. Moreover, insights into these micro-level processes reveal the importance of dealing with the logics that lie beneath stakeholders' perceptions of risk in order to collaborate, achieve common goals, and prevent cost overruns.

利益相关者对重大体育赛事风险和安全规划的看法

目的

本研究分析了制度逻辑对体育赛事风险过程结果的影响。

设计/方法/方法

研究设计是使用定性方法对 2017 年公路世界自行车锦标赛进行的探索性案例研究。通过利用六个主要利益相关者的多个来源、文件和经验，丰富的定性数据被用来更深入地了解制度逻辑对过程的影响。

发现

利益相关者在争论某些风险偏好和策略时依赖于不同的组织和专业逻辑。此外，利益相关者关注背后的逻辑在利益相关者群体之间和利益相关者群体内部有所不同。这导致在同一组织中工作的利益相关者之间以及在不同组织中工作的利益相关者之间的关系紧张。最后，出现了新的专业实践；然而，也有意想不到的后果，例如巨额财政赤字，其中很大一部分成本超支是风险评估工作。

研究限制/影响

该研究包括对几年前安排的一项重大体育赛事的案例研究。活动通常是与公共部门组织合作举办的临时项目，必须按照效率逻辑以及满足公民的特殊需求来安排。假设类似的风险规划过程可能发生在其他情况下是合理的。

原创性/价值

该研究有助于了解逻辑对风险规划结果的影响，并提高学者对风险管理和规划大型体育赛事结果的理解。此外，对这些微观层面流程的洞察揭示了处理利益相关者风险感知背后的逻辑的重要性，以便进行协作、实现共同目标并防止成本超支。
