ANSWER TO QUESTION 13
The case study of this present case is based on the Australian Grand Prix. It is a formula
one motor race and oldest motor racing program in Australia. It has a strong sports history and
the organizational power of the organization is quite effective. The success of an organization is
depending on the organizational structure, performance and organizational change. The role of
the individuals in the operation of the organization play an important role and they are holding
certain powers regarding their posts in the organization. However, in an organization, there are
certain sources of power exercising by the individuals related to the sports organization. The
powers can be categorized as the legitimate power, expert power, referent power, coercive power
and reward power (Næss, 2017). Legitimate power derives from the position of the individual in
the organization. For an example, CEO of the organization is enjoying the legitimate positional
power. Expert power derives from the knowledge of the member. It is their problem solving
skills valuable for the future of the organization. Referent power originated from the
interpersonal relationship skill of the board member such as the CEO. Further, reward power can
be observed in between every board members of the organization. In this case, they are
influencing the allocation of the incentives. All these powers help an organization to be
developed. However, there are certain coercive powers exercising by the members of the sport
organization.
The powers within an organization can be legitimated with the application of legal rules.
Further, the powers should follow the rules prescribed by the Australian Sports Commission.
