With major sport events taking place so frequently it is the hope of the researcher to contribute to the literature on the operational planning of these events in order to aid in the efficiency and effectiveness of future events. The researcher also seeks a career in event management, with a specific focus on major sport events, and feels this research will assist in this goal.
