dc.description.abstract | This article explores the process of risk management in a major sporting event from the perspective
of a participating team. More specifically, the article examines how Norway’s national team before
and during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (OWG) in Vancouver (i) identified the risk management
issues, and (ii) handled risk strategies. The qualitative case study reported here draws upon documents
and interviews with key actors in the Norwegian Top Sports Program (Olympiatoppen) and
other important stakeholders for the preparation and implementation of the Vancouver project based
on the experiences from 2006 OWG in Turin, Italy. The article utilizes previous research on risk
management and strategic management in order to analyze a participating team’s preparation and
implementation. A framework for dealing with risk management issues experienced by participating
teams at sporting events is provided. | no_NO |
