Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the nature and intensity of relationships among Stakeholders involved in organizing tennis events. Therefore, throughout the study of tennis circuits and related promoters, this work refers to Stakeholder Theory to discuss the relationships among the actors involved in the organization of tennis events. To this end, this paper investigates the promoters of tennis circuits and reviews the literature on the subject. What clearly emerges is the need to extend our knowledge of the organizational and managerial dynamics of tennis competitions. The distinctive features of the main circuits are then presented, highlighting the gradual increase in the number of tournaments and the various changes that have taken place in recent years in terms of their management and organization. Lastly, an interpretative model is proposed in order to analyze the distinct characteristics of relationships that each promoter of professional tennis circuits (the ITF and the ATP) has with tennis players and tournament organizers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
