Assistant Professor, Sport Management
Dr. Changwook Kim is an assistant professor in the Department of Sport Management. As a researcher committed to developing knowledge about the sport industries and communities, he takes an interdisciplinary approach that integrates theoretical and methodological approaches from sport management, marketing, spatial econometrics, geography, and community science.
His research is largely focused on the contribution of the sport industry to community resilience and well-being from a spatial perspective. Using state-of-the-art methods, he has specifically investigated (a) spatial effects of sport industry clusters on community resilience; (b) sport consumer spatial behavior for consumer resilience; and (c) transformative sport service initiatives in the context of the sport industry, sport consumption, and community development.
His findings have implications for influencing decision-making in sport organizations, designing population-based regional sport policies, and contributing to knowledge creation and distribution that enriches both the sport industry and communities.
