Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the competitiveness and growth of small and medium-sized sports businesses.Method: The research method was quantitative (descriptive-correlational) conducted in two phases of Delphi and survey. The statistical population consisted of faculty members of the faculties of physical education and management with specialization in sport entrepreneurship and business management. In the first step, the researcher identified and categorized by comparative study of conceptual model of exogenous factor relationships in the form of 9 main factors and 23 items; endogenous factors in the form of 8 main factors with 48 items and competitiveness index in 9 dimensions with 28 items in sport business level. Then a Delphi panel of 21 accredited sports business experts and ultimately 180 sports business owners responded to the tool.Results: The results of structural equation modeling analysis showed that the effect of exogenous factors on competitiveness and growth of businesses had more effect on endogenous factors than on endogenous factors, respectively. Generally, customer satisfaction, productivity, future capabilities, financial indices, contract growth, employee satisfaction, community satisfaction explained significantly constructs of competitiveness.Conclusion: The conceptual model of competitiveness mutual relations creates a new approach in the analysis of competitive variables and enables managers to better understanding the relevance of competitiveness factors and indices to the development of an internal competitiveness measurement system for sports businesses to analyze performance and factors of their competitiveness.

Objective: Interaction analysis approach deals with the analysis of the direct and indirect impacts of key propulsion forces on a specific system to plan for its future. Therefore, the future study of participation in public sport with an interactive impact analysis approach was the main objective of this study.Methodology: This study was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of nature, based on new methods of future research, analytical and exploratory science, which has been done by applying a combination of quantitative and qualitative models. The statistical population of the study consisted of executive and university elites with sufficient expertise and experience on the issue of participation in public sport. Qualitative data were obtained using open questionnaire and interviewing and reviewing the documents and quantitative data used in this study numerically and by weighting Delphi questionnaires. Final analysis was performed on 16 recursive matrices. The collected data were analyzed using Miccom software.Results: The findings showed that the key driving forces of culture and ideology, economic and industrial, financial and human capital, participation, political and social achievement have the most influence on the future of participation in public sport. In the meantime, cultural, ideological, economic and industrial factors have had the largest share of direct and indirect impact.Conclusion: The complexity of making changes in the field of participation in public sport is one of the most important future research challenges in the field.
