The strength of weak rings: Teams performance measurement and management in sport

The paper investigates the issue of team performance measurement and management in the selfstyled ring organizations. The objective is to demonstrate whether, within a team, there are individuals who are able to influence to a greater extent an organization's results and whether there are performance parameters that allow the identification of such individuals. The research was conducted through the application of the Oring theory's theoretical framework in the context of the football clubs. The research method used is exploratory, with an empirical analysis based on two distinct research steps aimed at ascertaining which individual within a team is able to affect the team performance the most.
