Abstract

The successful operation and management of large-scale sports events not only rely on organizational capabilities and resource allocation but are also profoundly influenced by social and cultural factors. This article takes China and the United States as comparative objects to deeply explore the empowering role of social culture in the operation and management of large-scale sports events, analyzing the differences between the two countries in terms of cultural values, government roles, commercial operation models, and public participation, and their impacts on event management. The research finds that China’s sports event management emphasizes government leadership, collectivism, and a sense of national honor; while the United States places more emphasis on market-driven forces, individualism, and commercial value, providing a highly commercialized and entertaining space for sports events. Through comparative analysis, this paper proposes a mechanism of differential empowerment by social culture and offers theoretical insights and practical significance for the optimized operation of sports events in a cross-cultural context.
