...Introduction The FIFA World Cup in Brazil took place from the 12th of June to the 13th of July 2014. Attracting approximately one million foreign tourists in just one month (Loretta, 2014) it was without a doubt the major global sporting event of the year. Discussions about holding such an event in yet another developing country where controversial from the start and with regard to the 2016 Olympic Games also held in Brazil, they still are. In this essay I want to evaluate to what extent Brazil as a tourism destination benefitted from the World Cup – or not – and how this affects the destination in the long term. Therefore, I firstly provide three positive impacts on Brazil, of economic, social and environmental nature. This is followed by three negative impacts, divided into the same categories. This is followed by an application of theory about hallmark events and a future perspective of Brazil as a tourist attraction. In the end, I conclude this essay by summarizing the main aspects and giving my personal opinion on the developments described before. Body If we compare the total revenue of the World Cup with the total costs of the tournament, coming from investments such as infrastructure or stadium construction, we can calculate that the economical boost should be around 2.6 Billion Dollars (Harris, 2014). Also, the fact that one million foreign tourists were travelling the country in this period may not be underestimated. A positive experience of local culture and interaction...

...Economic impact of 2014 FIFA world cup Heavy Construction Heavy construction companies will be among the primary beneficiaries of the World Cup, but the positive effects are softening as projects near completion. Nevertheless, we expect average operating income for companies in this segment to rise more than 7% in 2014, supported by the Brazilian government’s focus on infrastructure investments and public-private partnerships. The largest players, which include Construtora Norberto Odebrecht S.A. (Baa3 stable), Construtora Andrade Gutierrez S.A. (Ba1 stable), OAS S.A. (B1 stable) and Mendes Junior Trading e Engenharia S.A. (B1 stable), have been involved in all of the major World Cup projects, including the construction or renovation of stadiums and upgrades to airports and marine ports. Infrastructure projects for the World Cup, estimated at BRL26 billion ($11.5 billion), have been an important contributor to revenues in Brazil during the past few years. Nevertheless, total stadium investments of about BRL 8 billion ($3.5 billion) constitute only a minor portion of the rated players’ total backlog of more than BRL 120 billion ($52.9 billion). At its peak, backlog related to the World Cup represented, on average, about 10% of the total for the large companies in the industry, with the most impact on Construtora Andrade, OAS and Mendes. (See page 8 for impact on rated infrastructure operators.)During the 32 days of the World Cup, heavy construction companies may be negatively...

...Corruption Scores a Hat Trick Against FIFA FIFA has been at the center of a great deal of corruption during the last couple of years. There are endless topics to discuss on the matter of corruption and FIFA, but I wanted to focus on three of the biggest charges of corruption against FIFA, bribery, mistreatment of female athletes, and the use of slave labor to build stadiums to host their games. FIFA has been around for over a century and was a very respectable organization at one time, but that time is now over. This affects international business because there are currently 209 countries within FIFA. FIFA has a far reaching impact because soccer is the most popular sport in the world. To better understand why and how FIFA became so corrupt, I’d like to lead with some background on the history of FIFA and its biggest members. FIFA stands for The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (English translation: International Federation of Association Football), and is the governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer. FIFA is responsible for the organization of football’s major international tournaments, notably the World Cup which commenced in 1930 and the Women’s World Cup which began in 1991. FIFA was founded in 1904 to oversee international competition among the national associations of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. FIFA is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland and consists of 209 national...

...To reduce the environmental impact of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazi and raise awareness on carbon emissions, FIFA launched a programme encouraging successful ticket applicants to offset the emissions resulting from their travel to the tournament for free, no matter where in the world they are travelling from. FIFA took its environmental responsibility very seriously. As part of our two-fold strategy with the non-profit carbon management programme BP Target Neutral, FIFA and the Local Organising Committee will offset 100 per cent of their own operational emissions and through the campaign launched today, they encouraged the fans to neutralise the carbon emissions resulting from their travel to Brazil. At the same time they used the FIFA World Cup as an opportunity to engage with millions of people and raise awareness of the environmental impact of our journeys and the ways to mitigate it. The FIFA World Cup is the largest individual sporting competition in the world. Staging a tournament of this scale inevitably has an impact on the environment. Offsetting is one way of limiting this impact. It aims to balance the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere in one place by removing, or preventing them, in another – resulting in a zero net effect. FIFA address the need to improve climate awareness and understanding of how climate protection and development can support each other, as well as reducing carbon emissions in a credible way. The projects cover different sectors and...

...year old company and this wasn’t the first time they set foot in China as a retailer, but they wanted to make further progress in their penetration of the Chinese market. Their short-term goal is to have annual revenues from China reach $4 billion in sales. Their investment in marketing and endorsements related to the 2008 Beijing Olympics was $150 million. Part of this cost included sponsoring the Chinese teams. There were 28 different sports in the Olympics, and Nike sponsored the Chinese teams in 22 of them. That is a significant percentage. The global strategy it applied was to form partners with Chinese manufacturing companies to manufacture the goods. All of Nike’s production comes from the 785 contract factories it has all over the world, including China. The modes of market entry it used would be a “Transnational Strategy” because with the games, Nike also opened up Nike Stores that offered products in athletic areas most popular with the local population. They also opened up “Super Stores” with similar product listing of that of the U.S. market. Prices were also scaled down to local currency rates to match the competitors pricing and the local population affordability. The complicating factors the company faced were competition from its biggest rival, Adidas. Adidas spent $40 million more than Nike on the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Adidas also edged Nike by signing endorsement deals with the Chinese athletes that ensured that if any of them were to win a medal, upon receiving...

...INTRODUCTION Hosting World Cup is an opportunity that no country contemplates of when thinking of global narratives. This event has traditionally been considered a privilege of developed countries, but this has changed in the recent past as evident by the fact that developing countries have been given the right host this international competition. For instance, South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup and Brazil the 2014 World Cup. Notably, there has been intense competition between nations to host World Cup. Many countries have vowed to invest billions of dollars in order to increase their chances of being elected to host such mega event. Why should countries compete to host this event? There could be numerous reasons why a number of countries are keen on hosting World Cup, but the most compelling is the promise of an economic and social windfall. Soccer is one of the sports which people tend to identify themselves with. It has gained popularity owing to its impacts on the players, followers, states and other stakeholders. Currently, the game is estimated to have the highest number of followers than any other sport. Due to its vast effects, Soccer World Cups have gained popularity in the past two decades.

...for the first 5 years of this plan are presented in the charts and tables later in this plan We still need to do. These figures represent the key prospects available for public Wi-Fi Service in Brazil. These targets are attainable through a proactive approach and by partnering with the 2014 Brazil Soccer World Cup organizing comity. The following business plan has been created on the basis of extensive market research which showed that there will be an massive demand for public internet services. With Brazil’s mountainous topography and dense popupated landscape it is almost impossible to cover large areas with GSM masts. Therefore it is economically viable to rollout smaller areas with local Wi-Fi access. Consumers demand high speed internet connectivity which technologies like 802.11 b and n will give them. There are multiple other benefits going with Wi-Fi rather than GSM. One such benefit is that the consumer can experience speed greater than 50mb/s without having to own a 4G LTE device. Wi-Fi is much cheaper to roleout than the latest 4G LTE GSM service. The plan highlight that this service will be launched and fully operational ready for 2014 for the FIFA Soccer World Cup in Brazil. All ticket holders will get a free 10mb voucher which one could redeemed from any Wi-Fi Access point, at which point they can choose to become a subscriber to the ongoing paid service.

...The FIFA World Cup, often simply the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association, the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current champions are Spain, who won the 2010 tournament in South Africa. The current format of the tournament involves 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about a month; this phase is often called the World Cup Finals. A qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, is used to determine which teams qualify for the tournament together with the host nation. The 19 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight different national teams. Brazil have won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The other World Cup winners are Italy, with four titles; West Germany, with three titles; Argentina and inaugural winners Uruguay, with two titles each; and England, France, and Spain, with one title each.
