This framework includes network-and market-oriented methods and tools that enable sport organizations to design and develop products that provide targeted stakeholders with greater functional and experiential value. Sport organizations provide a wide variety of services from leadership, governance, management, development, entertainment and control to educational materials and other retail products, all of which benefit from relationship marketing principles. Because many sport organizations have adopted a relationship-marketing approach, they are necessarily network-based, operating in a system formed by numerous stakeholders. Their goals may be economic, social or environmental with the foundation of the system being the sport itself, with various bodies involved in the development of the sport. Through a consulting project with a sport organization, students will develop an understanding of the dynamics of the relationships between the different stakeholders who make up the network of the sport industry. Specifically, students will learn how sport organizations carry out their strategic actions within a network of stakeholders.

Independent study allows students to expand their classroom experience by completing research in an area of interest not already covered by Suffolk courses. The student designs a unique project and finds a full-time faculty member with expertise in that topic who agrees to sponsor it and provide feedback as the proposal is refined. A well designed and executed research project broadens and/or deepens learning in a major or minor area of study and may also enhance a student's marketability to potential future employers. Students cannot register for an Independent Study until a full proposal is approved by the faculty sponsor, department chair, and academic dean. Many Independent study proposals require revisions before approval is granted; even with revisions independent study approval is NOT guaranteed. Students are strongly encouraged to submit a proposal in enough time to register for a different course if the proposal is not accepted. For complete instructions, see the SBS Independent/Directed Study Agreement and Proposal form available online.
