Summary/Abstract: On 2.2.2023 the 2nd International Conference “Management, Technology and Sport” was held at the Faculty of Sports Studies of Masaryk University in Brno in cooperation with the Czech Management Association. The conference was opened by the Minister of Science, Research and Innovation Mgr. Helena Langšádlová and the President of the Czech Management Association Ing. Olga Girstlová, Ph.D. Innovative contributions at the conference covered a wide range of management issues (organization of a major sporting event and the impact of covid on spectator attendance), economics (aspects of budgeting of sports teams taking into account the crisis situation or the economic concept of willingness to pay in the sporting environment), technology (relationships between communication, technology and management models, e-sport). The next III International Conference “Management, Technology and Sport” will take place on 2. 2. 2024 in cooperation with American, German and Israeli universities.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper explores the economic concept of willingness to pay (WTP) in a sporting environment. The paper introduces the specifics of the sports industry, provides insights into current research, and presents methods used in willingness to pay research in scholarly articles, with the greatest emphasis on the contingent valuation method, which is widely used in willingness to pay research. The article is compiled in a research manner and aims to provide an overview of the ways in which research could be conducted that would be useful for finding alternative ways of financing the sports sector, especially in the Czech Republic, where not many similar articles on the topic have been published.

- Keywords:Forecast; extrapolation; gross domestic product GDP;
- Summary/Abstract:Prognostic considerations are a kaleidoscope of different prognostic expressions of both quantitative and qualitative nature. The quantitative considerations are based on the theory published in the monograph Production Functions as a Tool for Representing Economic Reality. The temporal production function is used to forecast the GDP of the economies of the US, China and India to 2030 and 2050 respectively. The prolongation of the absolute level of GDP shows that India, in addition to China, which is already in first place, will be ahead of the US.

- Summary/Abstract:Under Basel II methodology there are distinguished three main risks - market, credit and operational risk. In all cases, it is possible to determine the capital requirement using the basic method, which consists of multiplying the size of the exposure by a predefined coefficient. At the same time, a more advanced approach is allowed for all categories, subject to regulatory approval. The capital requirement may be calculated on the basis of the VaR (ValueAtRisk) risk acquiring method. In the case of the advanced approach for operational risk (the aim of this study), only basic qualitative and quantitative requirements are defined and it is the bank’s responsibility to use appropriate methods to estimate the required amount of risk capital. Keywords – Operational risk, loss distribution, loss frequency, loss severity, composite distribution, AMA methods, LDA approaches, IMA methods, Monte Carlo methods, MILDA_E oprisk calculator, Excel simulation add-ins.

- Summary/Abstract:The development of computing technology in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made it possible that even the current artificial intelligence can not only replace human intelligence in some areas, but can also surpass it with a great advantage. If artificial intelligence can beat any chess player, including world champions, by such a margin that it wins all chess games, the question naturally arises whether artificial intelligence can replace humans in some other intellectual activities, for example in the field of law. This contribution attempts to outline both the performance capabilities of current computing technology and the possibilities of using artificial intelligence to decide in the legal cases in sports arbitration. In doing so, it highlights the strengths and weaknesses of artificial intelligence, the difficulties of its use in sports arbitration, and also suggests possibilities for further developments in this area.

- Keywords:management; sport; COVID-19; volleyball; organizing committee;
- Summary/Abstract:The origins of the Czech volleyball movement’s ideas to organise the European Men’s Volleyball Championships as the culmination of the celebration of 100 years of volleyball in the Czech Republic date back to 2015. After challenging discussions and negotiation of terms, the Czech Republic’s hosting was confirmed by the signing of the organisational contract in 2019. At this point, the organisational preparations by both the CEV and the Czech Volleyball Federation began. The hosting of the entire European Championships was unconventionally divided between four co-organisers: the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia and Finland. This fact in itself meant that it was necessary to set up a functional management system for the most important international volleyball event as a whole, with central organisational processes and partial management autonomy in the individual countries.

The modern trends visible in sports are divided into three categories: globalization, technology, and performance. The paper focuses mainly on how globalization breaks national borders through sports and how sports contribute to climate change. It also examines how technology is being used to push the boundaries of human capabilities. The article explores the potential impact of technologies such as e-sports, artificial intelligence, data analytics, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and virtual reality in sports. A result is several hypotheses that indicate the world of sports in 2030.

- Keywords:hooligans; football; ultras; tragic activities; riots;
- Summary/Abstract:Hooliganism has been an unwanted and life-threatening phenomenon for several decades, making watching sporting events uncomfortable and enjoyable. This article presents the essence of this phenomenon in football, compares it with the activities of ultras movements and provides an overview of the most notorious hooligan activities in Slovakia and their impacts. It then offers, for comparison, the most notorious tragic hooligan activities that have occurred around the world and their consequences. Different measures are being taken in different countries around the world to combat this phenomenon, but these are not globally applicable due to inconsistencies in legislation and different cultures. The shortcomings and inconsistencies of the organisers of sporting events also play a role in allowing this phenomenon to take place.
