Abstract

This paper examines the business expansion of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) entrepreneurs by acquiring European football clubs, focusing on Manchester City as a case study from the 2008/2009 to 2020/2021 seasons. Football, having evolved from a mere sport into a profitable industry, attracts significant investments from stakeholders, including billionaires and global corporations. This research highlights the increasing trend of Middle Eastern investors acquiring renowned football clubs facilitated by substantial financial resources and strategic management. The analysis reveals that Sheik Mansour's acquisition of Manchester City in 2008 catalysed a remarkable transformation in the club's financial performance, leading to substantial revenue growth and competitive success in domestic and European leagues. By employing financial ratio analysis, the paper evaluates the club's performance pre- and post-acquisition, revealing significant improvements in revenue streams, operational profitability, and overall financial stability. The findings underscore the potential benefits and strategic advantages of such investments in the football industry, contributing to the growing body of literature on sports management and financial strategies in contemporary business.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of corporate social responsibility on the company's financial performance during periods of financial instability. The sample of this study is manufacturing companies in the basic and chemical industries listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2014-2022 period. This study uses secondary data from the company's financial statements and annual reports. The test results show that during the period of financial instability, the relationship of corporate social responsibility to the company's financial performance weakens. This study proves that financial instability moderates the relationship between CSR and corporate financial performance. The results of this study show a linear and non-linear pattern in the relationship between CSR and financial performance during periods of financial instability. These findings emphasize the importance of managing CSR portfolios and prudence in resource allocation during periods of financial instability.

Partisipasi dan antusiasme 30 orang ibu-ibu terhadap komunitas ini sangat tinggi pada pengadaan pelatihan UMKM. Dari ketiga pelatihan yang telah terlaksana, ibu-ibu peserta komunitas mendapatkan pemahaman mengenai pengelolaan keuangan, pemasaran produk, dan perizinan berusaha. Komunitas Ibu-ibu Desa Lumbungkerep sangat berguna untuk memajukan UMKM di Desa Lumbungkerep melalui berbagai pelatihan serta pendampingan dalam mengelola bisnis mereka. Diharapkan komunitas ini dapat berjalan secara berkelanjutan. The contribution of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to the GDP at 60.51% is undeniable. The digital transformation and the COVID-19 pandemic emphasize the urgency for MSMEs to prosper. The challenge of the digital revolution in Lumbungkerep Village, Klaten Regency, Central Java, is the focus of this community service. The establishment of the Komunitas Bisnis Ibu-ibu Desa Lumbungkerep by KKN 154 Universitas Sebelas Maret aims to provide understanding and business skills to the women involved in MSMEs in the village. Activities include socialization, training, and mentoring in association with the Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) community. The participation and enthusiasm of 30 women in this community are remarkably high in UMKM training. Through three guided training sessions, community members gained insights into financial management, product marketing, and business licensing. The Lumbungkerep Village Women's Community has proven to be a valuable platform for fostering collaboration and innovation, supporting local MSMEs to enhance product value and income, and promoting sustainable welfare and economic growth through various training and mentoring initiatives in managing their businesses.
