dc.description.abstractIn this research, the sport sponsorship relationship between a sponsor and sports entity is analysed as a form of co-marketing alliance. A rationale is provided and factors deemed critical to alliance success, including strategic compatibility, goal convergence, commitment, and satisfaction, are defined and explored through a series of depth interviews. While sponsorship partners believe that the relationship can function as a co-marketing alliance, their interpretations differ and this appears to stifle the relationship. The results also reveal, however, that approaching the sponsorship relationship provides valuable managerial insights and can have a positive effect on performance.
