I want to know because there will be a term paper by the end of the semester. I have many ideas but I really want to concentrate on something I really enjoy, yes, you people thought of it: Starcraft. Management class is basically about how an organization works. How managers control the company, and other aspects like managerial roles and the like. I want my topic on something SC related but nothing is coming to mind so does anyone have any brilliant ideas?

My first idea was to talk about how SC managers buy/sell players and use their earnings to create an environment for the players, etc. Would that be feasible? That's why I wanted to know if anyone took a class on this. Is my topic too broad, etc?

Out of curiosity, why are you taking a management class? Is it a requirement, and if so what for? ...or are you somehow taking it as an elective?

I think the idea you posted above is indeed doable, the only concern I have is that it won't fit in with your course. Is this class just an all around management class or is it directed at a certain type of management or function of management?

If it's all around I'd say go for it, seeing as said 'SC Managers' are in fact managers.

Choose a subject you can do some actual in depth research about. I think it's going to be very hard getting good info on this subject. Besides the subject of starcraft is not really important at all here, you could change it to football and have a very similar paper with way more info to get your hands on.

Personally I would do a paper on how Ingvar Kamprad made IKEA and managed to turn it into an incredible empire using extraordinarily business idea's and methods. Your subject is a little shallow unless you're still in high school or something.

I think the idea is doable but not the best for your interests, since i think a lot of info is missing and most of the time SC teams dont work as a bussiness on theyr own but rather are a small part of a bussness where the biggest income is publicity. I mean each manager/team doesnt work as a company that looks for a profit, but rather a company uses them for publicity, maybe you could consider the organization of broadcasters like ogn and mbc wich are a business based on entertainment.

I have no idea, maybe asking them by email lol? anyways theres almost 0 chance that a company will give you theyr data for this stuff, your best shot is to make some assumpsions. What id do if you want to keep pushing for this idea (wich sounds quite ok to me if you manage to get the info from ogn) is to email them with your data (or get a korean to do it for you) and ask them not for sensible info (like money etc) but for an organigram (shit idk how to write that in english in spanish is organigrama) basically a picture of how the campany works like this one for the fifaworldcup. Then you can work with some guesses about how many people work in each place etc.

I think a great idea would be management of an SC website like TL, or any of the other community sites. You've already got an amazing resource in Kennigit's most recent thread, and I'm sure some of the staffers here and elsewhere would be up for interviews.

Nope i dont recommend TL for two reasons: its too small for a paper, and tl organization is quite unorganized as Kennigit posted. But then again is doable. I came to think that fifa world cup is an interesting idea lol. Well that are just my thoughts, i expect this helped you.

I don't think TL's too small, but even in the event that it is, he could take the angle of "Managing a Community Fansite - Volunteer-based Infastructure"... or something... It doesn't have to exclusively cover TL, but TL would make for one helluva supporting argument.

And you can always add in the factor of a popular fansite building and managing connections in Korea.
