Review:

This is an intellectually stimulating yet highly accessible collection, which shows both depth and range in its coverage of key topics. The chapters provide thoughtful introduction to fundamental management issues, while inviting readers to think critically about the practical solutions required to address contemporary challenges. Events Management: An International Approach is likely to become core reading both for those interested in the study of events and for those seeking to manage them
