Finally, the lack of institutional pressures for
well-planned activity and efficient management
in combination with very centralized
decision-making in the hands of amateur
administrators seems to discourage NSOs
from unambiguously defining performance
targets. A pressing necessity is to commit
resources to long-term plans, especially in
the high performance sector of every sport.
However, the organizations studied have
failed to develop plans which take into
consideration the difficult economic reality
in Greek public spending, outline realistic
performance objectives and identify courses
of action for attaining these objectives.
