VBS team wins best paper award
Congratulations to Andrew Milne, Carolyn Cordery, and John Davies, who received a Best Paper Award at the annual conference for the Sport Management Society of Australia and New Zealand.
Congratulations to Andrew Milne, Dr Carolyn Cordery and Professor John Davies, who received the Best Paper Award at the annual conference for the Sport Management Society of Australia and New Zealand.
The paper, titled "The cost of the game? The cost of a game", draws on Andrew's work as a Summer Research Scholar in 2012/2013.
It provides both a practical answer to the questions posed in the title of the paper and also addresses the more theoretical consideration of the costs of professionalisation and professionalism on grass roots rugby.
The original report of Andrew's study can be accessed from the Sport and Recreation Knowledge Library.
Following the input of additional historical data, Dr Cordery (School of Accounting and Commercial Law) and Professor Davies (School of Management) will publish the paper in an international refereed journal.
This is an example of collaborative research across different schools in Victoria Business School.
