In a sample of 54 clubs, the performance of clubs was examined along three major dimensions: financial performance, sport performance and human resource management/ transfer policy dimensions. They performed a hierarchical cluster analysis based on the classification of the clubs into four groups. These four clusters are: 1. International Elite; 2. Challengers; 3. Emerging Champions; and 4. Struggling for Competitiveness. The authors' main findings suggest that sports companies belonging to the same cluster generate a similar amount of income, are equally successful in the domestic leagues and have similar transfer policies, although each cluster differs markedly from the others.</p></div> ER -
