Synopsis:

Governance is at the centre of the work of all sport organizations, from small sport clubs to international sport federations. This book explores sport governance in today’s globalised marketplace.

It adopts a broad, modern definition of ‘governance’ that includes the operational process of organizing resources and the implementation of standing policies and plans, as well as regulation, direction, control and evaluation. The book presents a series of cutting-edge case studies that shine important new light on key themes in contemporary sport management, including sustainability, human resource management, cross-cultural management and labour markets, across a wide range of sporting contexts, from Formula One and the Commonwealth Games to the NCAA. Bringing together researchers and practitioners from five continents, it represents an important platform for the international exchange of ideas, best practices, and scholarly enquiry.

This is fascinating reading for any student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in sport business and management, event management or international business.
