Abstract

Glavni cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je analizirati imena profesionalnih sportskih ekipa (N=123) koje se natječu u četiri sporta u četiri lige u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, a prema kriteriju poruka koje se mogu iščitati iz njihovih imena, odnosno kako ekipe, tj. organizacije kroz svoja imena komuniciraju sa svojom okolinom. Analizirala se važnost imena iz aspekata imidža sportske ekipe, njezine organizacijske, tj. korporacijske kulture, sustava vrijednosti koje određena imena projiciraju te relevantnosti imena sportskih ekipa za sportsku i društvenu zajednicu u kojoj se nalaze. Analiza je napravljena tako da su se oblikovale kategorije unutar kojih su se imena ekipa svrstavala prema onome što njihovo ime znači. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata ustanovljeno je kako je kategorija životinje bila zastupljena s najviše entiteta (N=36) i kako je simbolizam životinja veoma zastupljen u američkoj sportskoj kulturi. Druga najzastupljenija kategorija (N=17) bila je kategorija podrijetlo. Rezultati su bili očekivani s obzirom na specifičnost američkog društva, odnosno s obzirom na povijest navedene države.

Abstract (english)

The main goal of this master thesis was to analyse the names of professional sports teams (N=123) which compete in four sports in four leagues in the United States of America. The analysis was done according to the criteria of messages that can be comprehended from their names, i.e. how sports teams (organisations) use their names to communicate with their surroundings. The importance of the names of the sports teams were analysed from the aspects of organisational image, organisational/corporate culture, set of values that certain names project and the relevancy of the names to the sports and social community in which the sports teams exists. The analysis was conducted in such a way that the categories were formed according to the meaning of the team' names. Based on the obtained results it was concluded that the category animals was comprised of the highest number of cases (N=36) and that the animal symbolism was highly represented in the American sports culture. The second most common category was origin. Such results were expected taking into account the specificity of the American culture as well as taking into account the history of this country.
