Learners will examine the rise of private equity, multi-club ownership, and sport as an investable asset class, along with the organisational and competitive consequences of these shifts. The course also looks at how clubs are evolving into data platforms and how technology partnerships and in-house innovation are driving new monetisation strategies and fan-centric business models. In addition, it analyzes the growing role of mergers, acquisitions, media strategy, and platform expansion in building scale across the sports ecosystem. Finally, the course explores how athletes and celebrities are becoming central players in the next phase of sports entertainment, moving from talent to creators, media assets, and owners.
