Within this special issue of ESMQ, we seek to expand the scope of individual-level brand research within the sport industry and advance knowledge pertaining to: (1) how individuals in the sport industry develop and manage their brands; and (2) how such brand development and management influences, and is influenced by, related brands (e.g., other individuals, teams, leagues, sponsors, communities). Specifically, we call for further research on brands that operate at an individual, rather than collective, level.

For this special issue we are particularly interested in empirical research that demonstrates clear theoretical contributions to advance our understanding of contemporary institutional work scholarship. Drawing on recent reviews we feel there are several themes that present opportunities to leverage distinctive empirical opportunities within sport and contribute to broader theoretical discussions around agency in institutional scholarship.

We think sport is still important, and so is our endeavor to study it, understand it and contribute to its use as public good. In times of pandemics and not to forget climate warming, more than ever we are incited, if not forced, to rethink what sport is, what it means to us. As a research community on sport, it is our obligation to critically reflect upon the essentials of sport. We invite authors to submit papers on the theme “Sport management: Mission and meaning for a new era”.
