Next, the current state of research about sports entrepreneurship in terms of the evolution and development of innovation processes is stated. There is then a examination of how sport and entrepreneurship processes work together to show how they are inextricably linked. This means that the newness of sport entrepreneurship in academia is the result of increased interest of its important in society.
