immediate after war era all the Pre-owned cars and race field were reconstructed again and
was again in use. Lex Davison took race to a higher level by introducing many big expensive
formulae for this and bought many trophies for Grand Prix. The top Europeans formula team
come up to competition and also very famous Tasman formula was responsible to bring back
grand prix to other higher level of achievement and finally, it returned to power(Cairns,
2014).
Under the assessment of this organisation, we will cover organizational theory and research
over it taking further goals and structure of Grand Prix, their strategic alliances and more
among this applying the observation with critical theory.
Is Australian Grand Prix a sport organization:
About Australian Grand Prix organisational theory if we take this into count, Grand Prix
comes under a sports organisation or not? Looking at its working, motor race is considered as
a sport or not depends on the people what they think most people think sports are the one who
take physical efforts so they believe auto racing isn't a "real" sport but according as per view
auto racing requires a great deal of physical effort and risk is also involved, even if drivers
“only” turn a steering wheel and push pedals (Cairns, 2014). Drivers sitting in a race car
sweat up to 4kg of their weight which is equivalent to athletes running over the field. The
famous formula1 Racer Ernest Hemingway valued motor racing as one of the most extreme
sports on the planet, even there heart beats goes up to the dangerous level of breathing,
therefore driving a formula 1 car exerts stress on driver (Sanderson, 2016). After countering
such points it concludes that racing is equally important as a sport and it is considered one.
Therefore, the entire organisation related to car racing is sports organisation as Australian
Grand Prix is one of them.

Uniqueness and features of sports industries
Now, if we see sports industry and their organisation in all, then there are many features of
sports which require a proper management and techniques, such features are made by the
audience who enjoys and have passion towards their team, athletes or competitions
(Sanderson, 2016). Sports and their industry has many features added to it, therefore ‘Smith
and Stewart' has stated 10 unique features about sports organisations some of them listed are
Competitive balance keeps a proper balance between club and teams to secure the
market value and other competitors to keep fans interest towards their organisation.
Sports products are main important to keep it attractive to their audience and also
people are interested towards it.
High brand loyalty as sports are their organisation is funded by many of the brands
and this makes them unique in themselves.
Provide different behaviour among the people like supporting their favourite players
on the field, wearing their favourite team's t-shirts or purchasing the products signed

After a bad loss the championship goes on and players are always boosted to get
ready for next win.
Agrees with the fact of being with new technologies regarding sports science and not
follow the old science.
Limited availability as in other organisation production can be increased by public
demand but in this, it has been the same method, same field, same sport.

cars, fields and all other destructions occur during the race (Blomme & Bornebroek‐

Difference between Organizational Theory and Behaviour
Organizational theory and also organizational behaviour have a deep connection, as theory
mainly looks after working and management and how it works and also their unique
characteristics. On another hand; behaviour comes under public interaction looking for cause
and effect (Niczyporuk, 2016). Taking this in mind theory has to maintain a proper loop
between their staff for proper and smooth working as in one sport organisations there are
many working hands of their different specialised field having different ideas and practise,
also have influence over each other, So to maintain it, observes all norms and values of
organisation and resume working, similar to this finding a right structure for organisation for
better functioning and mechanism and for further innovation and creativity (Francescato &
Aber, 2015). Therefore taking these two part as difference among each other one look after
the favourable time for further successful innovation and idea and other look after relation
between staff for maintenance, if we talk about AGP on this perspective as a result of these
theories AGP is quite successful over their better quality staff as well as qualified for the
same.
Critical Thinking
At the workplace of any organisation helps in good judgement skills, problem-solving,
analysis, job performance, creativity, and knowledge therefore at a workplace these qualities
