Professional football has been going through a period of unprecedented economic growth since the ’90s. Football ventures are increasingly becoming medium-sized companies. There have also been organizational changes, reflected in changes in the legal forms of professional football clubs, and in the use of modern controlling, planning, risk and financial management. Important questions remain unanswered with regard to the financing of football clubs, such as the impact of risks or the market value of capital costs. In addition to liquidity and the above, the acceptance of the determinational dependence of certain capital funds on sports results and the development of a strategy suitable for the optimal target system are also important requirements. In this article, we would like to present the answers football companies have given to the challenges they have been facing which affect their organisational system. In the light of international comparison, we examine the status of Hungarian football, which was once world famous and enjoyed better times in the past.

A growing body of literature on urban and grassroots social movements is replete with case studies of citizens mobilizing against infrastructural development projects. These mobilizations, known as insurgent citizenship-the participation in alternative channels of political expression-take different forms and have various impacts. An investigation into the case of the mobilizing agenda of the Greater Bloemfontein Taxi Association (GBTA) against using a costly intermodal transport facility in Bloemfontein is aimed at highlighting the often neglected dilemma of how powerless citizens-for example, taxi owners-respond to state hegemony. Theoretically, the article is grounded in the conceptual framework of insurgent citizenship and, empirically, draws on narratives of a range of participants. The findings provide an understanding of the importance of organizational structure and leadership in the sustained insurgent action by the GBTA. It is argued that the insurgent action by the GBTA is produced mainly by-on the one hand-the conflictual relationship between government policies and practices and-on the other hand-grassroots resistance to their exclusionary and marginalizing effects. Furthermore, the findings elucidate that insurgent practice may be driven by neoliberal principles of competition, profit, and entrepreneurship.

Background: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a method of using computer system technology to integrate all functions in various departments, such as marketing, inventory control, accounting and human resource across an entire company. ERP system intends to facilitate information sharing, business planning, and decision making in enterprises organization. This study proposes a theoretical framework that will determine the factors affecting ERP system adoption among medium-sized enterprise firms based on a case study. Methods: This present study applied resource based value and contingency theories to explain the factors that affect ERP system adoption and firm’s performance. The study proposes a framework which was prepared on the basis of results obtained from the questionnaire research. The specially prepared questionnaire was distributed to 217 companies of various medium sizes, located in Oyo State, Nigeria. CEO / MD and managers were selected as the key respondents of the questionnaire. After the completion of data collection, the empirical data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation modelling. Results: The result reveals that organizational structure and technological change have a significant influence on the adoption of the ERP system to improve the performance of medium size enterprise firms. In this regard, the effectiveness of ERP system adoption would strongly affect a firm’s performance. Conclusions: This paper proposes an enhanced theoretical framework that examines the vital issues concerning ERP system factors of adoption, thus, providing valuable outcomes for medium-sized enterprise firms. The originality of the paper is supported by its three-dimensional approach.

Wstęp: ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) jest metodą stosująca komputerowe systemy do zintegrowania wszystkich funkcji różnych działów przedsiębiorstwa, takich jak marketing, logistyka, księgowość i zarządzanie zasobami ludzkimi. System ERP ułatwia dzielenie się informacjami, planowanie działań przedsiębiorstwa oraz proces podejmowania decyzji biznesowych w obrębie organizacji przedsiębiorstwa. W prezentowanej pracy został zaproponowany schemat ramowy określający czynniki determinujące i wpływające na wdrożenie systemu ERP w średnich przedsiębiorstwach w oparciu o przeprowadzone studium przypadku. Metody: W pracy zastosowano teorię wartości i przypadkowości w celu wyjaśnienia czynników wpływających na pozytywne wdrożenie systemu ERP w przedsiębiorstwie. Dane potrzebne do analizy zostały zebrane w trakcie badania ankietowego. Specjalnie przygotowane w tym celu kwestionariusze zostały przekazane do 217 przedsiębiorstw średniej wielkości, zlokalizowane w stanie Oyo w Nigerii. Osoby szczebla zarządzającego byli wybrani jako główni odbiorcy tej ankiety. Dane zebrane w ten sposób poddano następnie analizie statycznej przy użyciu modelu częściowych najmniejszych kwadratów. Wyniki: Dane uzyskane podczas badania wskazują, że struktura organizacyjna ma istotny wpływ na pozytywne wdrożenie systemu ERP poprzez wzrost efektywności działania firm. Również istotny wpływ na pozytywne wdrożenie systemu ERP i w konsekwencji wzrost efektywności działania firmy ma zmiana technologiczna. Wnioski: W pracy zaprezentowano teoretyczne ramy badania wpływu różnych czynnik na pozytywne wdrożenie system ERP w przedsiębiorstwach średniej wielkości, co przekłada się na wzrost ich efektywności działania. Nowością pracy jest trójwymiarowe podejście do analizy.
