This paper investigates the connectedness within and between management and sport management disciplines in the knowledge domain of institutional theory. The results show that the field of sport management is becoming less connected with general management literature and theoretical discussions. The implications for sport management scholarship and bridging the gap between sport and management research are discussed.
A central issue within sport management is the extent to which the field should develop a distinctive theoretical knowledge base. This paper empirically investigates the connectedness within (intrafield) and between (interfield) management and sport management disciplines in one specific knowledge domain-institutional theory. We utilized a database of 188 sport-related institutional studies and conducted a citation network analysis of the aggregated reference lists from these articles. We argue that the fields of management and sport management act like ships in the night. That is, as the field of sport management has become more distinctive, the field is becoming less connected with general management literature and contemporary theoretical discussions. Potential implications for sport management scholarship and understanding the nature of the field are discussed, along with how it may be possible (if desired) to bridge the gap between sport and management research.
