If the materials published in the form of book like for example Who’s Who of Former Malaysian Athletes. Therefore the revenue comes from the sales.
It also creates profits for other people like compiler of athletes’ biographies. Other efforts might be movie producer who interest to make sport movie and information consultant who need information sports.

As for writers, everyone who interest to published sport publication they can do so as this kind of information is a complete compilation and not limited for certain society level.
Factors
The main factor for the needs of data regarding sport is because highly demands from society. In higher learning institution, they only subscribe academic materials like academic journals and database. Some of the databases are EDSS, EBSCO, BMJ and Science Direct. But those databases only provide article journal for user which emphasized on specific topic like health and sport management. Besides, there is no medium for user access current issues or retrieving historical materials on sport.

Some faculties and departments are already using Oracle applications in their day-to-day operations. As time goes by, more and more information users will be working with an application based on Oracle database technology. If you get the opportunity to be a member of an application development team, you will become familiar with the workings of Oracle and relational databases. Other users may have to learn about this popular database management system through their own experience. This article is for our readers who, as of yet, have no access to Oracle databases but have a yearning for learning what they're all about.
Sports leagues and franchises today, are signing lucrative TV contracts earning leagues billions of dollars. For instance, Ben Smith from BBC sport infers, that the English Premier League agreed to a record 5.136 billion pound television deal with Sky and BT sport for the exclusive rights to television coverage of one of the world’s major soccer leagues (Smith). The sports leagues are benefitting of the labor and talent of the athletes and it is only fair they earn a decent share of the revenue, regardless of how high it is. Needless to say, sport league executives and franchise owners would not be as wealthy as they currently are without the athletes that compete week in week

While sports for the spectators are merely entertainment, the economics of the industry are what drives businesses to become involved. Sports have become more of a business entity rather than an entertainment industry due to the strong economic perception of the over all industry. There are several instances in which economics may contribute to the effect on the sports industry, such as: the success of a team, the price of a ticket, the amount of money an athlete will make, and the amount of profit a team will make. The success of an...
Every individual's unique and distinctive interests, goals, experiences, values, education, and skills often prove to be the driving force behind what they want to do and succeed at in life. For some people, such as famous sports figures Adam Schefter, Stephen A. Smith, Michael Wilbon, and Tony Kornheiser, these factors influence them to find watching college or professional sports, studying the lifestyle of determined athletes, conducting interviews, analyzing statistics, and playing sports themselves enjoyable, which are all aspects of the sports journalism career field. Sports journalism is an exciting and elating career field that falls under the broad umbrella of journalism careers, in which journalists collect, write, and distribute news and updates about amateur and professional sporting events.
A young boy goes up to his mother and says, "Mommy! I want to be a baseball player!" If this was said in 1930, the boy's mother probably would have told the boy, "That's not future for you! You need to get a real job and make good money." If this was said in 1999, the boy's mother probably would have said, "Let's go to the store and buy you a baseball glove so you can start to practice." It is visible to every sports fan that in the past few decades, sports has undergone a whole new renovation. It isn't just an activity that is played for fun. It is a business in which owner and players attempt to coincide. It is a business where TV controls fan interest. It is also a business that affects many people's lives, both monetary and living aspects. There are many aspects that are involved with the economics of sport. Each one having unique qualities that adds to the greatest source of entertainment.
As time progresses, watching and supporting sports is becoming more and more popular as a main source of entertainment. Many people have found ways to connect their jobs with their passion of sports. “The multibillion-dollar sports industry offers employment opportunities for management, marketing, and supervisory professionals at all levels of competition” (Sports Management 1). Depending on a person’s interests, there are jobs in professional, amateur, and even school sports. Once a person decides on a sport management career, it needs to be determined which area he or she more specifically wants to go into based on his or her interests and abilities.
In conclusion, it is explicit that sports is a positive influence on athletes, spectators and the world as a whole as it teaches imperative life lessons as well as allows its participants to experience enjoyment, fulfilment and gratification. As mentioned previously sports enables its players to bring out the best in others and create unity amongst groups as team work is so essential. This highlights the views I have in conjunction with the views of Joe Humphrey.
In our world, people rely heavily on the power of technology every day. Kids are learning how to operate an iPad before they can even say their first word. School assignments have become virtual, making it possible to do anywhere in the world. We can receive information from across the world in less than a second with the touch of a button. Technology is a big part of our lives, and without it life just becomes a lot harder. Just like our phones have such an importance to us in our daily lives, database management systems are the same for businesses. Without this important software, it would be almost impossible for companies to complete simple daily tasks with such ease.
