The aim of the present study is to present a model of developing a sports and tourism ecosystem with the mediating role of electronic commerce. This research was quantitative and applied in terms of purpose with a survey approach. The statistical population consisted of experts and professionals in sports management, including a combination of sports managers, tourism experts, and e-commerce specialists related to sports and ecosystem (a total of 70 individuals). Considering the researcher's access to the list of individuals in the population, the sample size was determined to be 59 individuals based on the Morgan table. Sampling was done using purposive sampling and with the use of the theoretical saturation index. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that included three variables: development of the sports ecosystem, tourism, and electronic commerce. Additionally, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to assess reliability, which showed desirable values for all three variables and the overall questionnaire, with values of 0.81, 0.79, 0.82, and 0.80, respectively. Structural-interpretive modeling approach was used with the (PLS3) software. The tests used included tests for normality, standard deviation, significance, and correlation. The analysis results showed a significant relationship between electronic commerce and tourism. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between the development of the sports ecosystem and electronic commerce. However, there was no significant relationship between the development of the sports ecosystem and tourism, and the mediating role of the electronic commerce variable in the relationship between the development of the sports ecosystem and tourism was confirmed.

Crowdsourcing, as an internet-based innovation, aims to gather collective knowledge to enhance the development of products and services within organizations or companies. This study examines the impacts of crowdsourcing on content production for national sports media. A qualitative research approach, grounded in thematic analysis, was employed. The study population comprised professors, experts in crowdsourcing and media, and sports media professionals affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Organization and selected sports organizations. A total of 17 experts were interviewed through purposive sampling, with interviews conducted until theoretical saturation and concept repetition were achieved. Data collection and analysis were conducted using a three-stage coding process, identifying 77 open codes, 19 sub-themes, and six main themes. The external reviewer method was applied to ensure validity and reliability, and the agreement between two independent coders was calculated at 89%, which was deemed satisfactory. Data analysis was further supported using MAXQDA 2024 software. The findings indicate that crowdsourcing has significant implications for the sports content production of national media, encompassing areas such as organizational development, cultural transformation, social transformation, sports development, media development, and audience satisfaction. Consequently, national media, as the primary custodian of sports programming, is recommended to adopt crowdsourcing strategies to attract larger audiences, optimize costs, improve credibility, and promote diversity and innovation in content production.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the networking capability of women’s sport clubs in Ardabil province in order to both benefit the clubs and promote the development of women's sports. It was a descriptive applied research. The statistical population of Ardabil sports club staff is 200 and based on Morgan table the sample size was estimated 120 people (n = 120). The data were collected through Business Networking Questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the reliability of the questionnaire. One-sample t-test and SPSS 20 software were also used to test the hypotheses. The results of this study showed that Ardabil women's clubs' product networking capability, processes, information system and organizational culture were significantly higher than the average (mean= 3 and significance level= 95%). Also, the networking of managers, staff and organizational structure were found to be significantly lower than the average. The results showed that by spreading culture of networking activities and changing the approach of managers and staff of women's clubs, new products can be developed for existing clubs. Also, standardizing processes and using new information systems can facilitate the networking process since existing clubs cannot develop on their own because of their small size.
