Sport Management
- Karen Bill - University of Wolverhampton, UK
This is a core text for all those on Sport Management and Sports Studies courses. It examines both traditional business elements and the new functional areas of management in sport. Key chapters on marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, and event management are included, and the book as a whole provides a critical understanding of the complex and dynamic relationship between sport, business and management. The reader is supported through accessible theoretical explanation, real-life examples and case studies, learning activities and guidance on further study.
It is an excellent book for undergraduate study, very contemporary and perfect for UK based students. (Lecturer, University of Glamorgan.)
I am going through a major overhaul of the literature for those sport management classes where I am involved. This process is yet to be concluded.
A great additional course resource for the delivery of event management and the overview of the industry in the UK.
Learners particularly engaged with and adopted the practical advice and philosophy that the book introduces and promotes.
This book was widely used throughout the course and referenced to by all learners.
I'm still searching for a core book on entrepreneurship in sport - this has a chapter - so useful as recommended text.
