How do you create an effective cod of conduct?
1. Codes should be based on a few overriding principles that can be used to deal with a variety of ethical dilemma faced by members of the organization. 2. Codes should clearly state to whom they apply; if codes are to be influential, leadership and membership within the organization must accept and be willing to adhere to the prescribed standards 3. Codes should contain consequences for violations
Jacobs (1992) said there are two types of work

Labor relations did not play major role in professional sports until the late 1960s, when growing fan interest and increased TV and sponsorship revenues transformed leagues. • Once players unionize, collective bargaining must occur before league management can change hours, wages, or terms and conditions of employment. With a players union in place, a league can negotiate acceptance for restrictive practices with players' association. - Practices that on their own might violate antitrust laws • When the collective bargaining process reaches an impasse (a breakdown in negotiations), the players can go on strike or owners can "lock out" players. • Strikes and lockouts are far more disruptive in professional sports than in other industries because of the lack of replacement players (employees). • Leagues encourage unions because labor exemptions can be used to implement restrictive policies.

Key Concepts: Franchise Values and Revenue Generation
Owners diversify investments to protect against risk that a franchise will lose a great deal of money. • Currently, franchise values for major league clubs are in the hundreds of millions of dollars, with the most lucrative reaching into the billions. • Franchise free agency—'stadium games': (Example Los Angeles) - Team owners threaten to move teams if their demands for new stadiums, renovations to existing stadiums, or better lease agreements are not met. Example of revenue generation: Boston Red Sox, who are maximizing revenue potential in every inch of Fenway Park (plus Fenway Sports Group) • Large vs. small-market dichotomy created by the disparity in local broadcast revenues in MLB - Forcing some teams (Oakland A's) to focus on efficiency and use a system that uses less common statistics, wise drafting, and drafting of players who are "signable" • Labor stability = Cost stability (NFL is example) - Challenge: Long-term CBA creates stability
Franchise Ownership Issues
Owners trying to recoup initial investment in club and make more money on their franchises - A growing trend is for owners to challenge league control over shared revenue streams. • Some owners clamoring for local control over marketing revenues using logos, trademarks, and sponsorship - Examples: Dallas Cowboys and NY Yankees • Or working to maximize revenues - Examples: Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group
