Paperback. Condition: New. Event Portfolio Management explores the phenomenon of the event portfolio as a policy tool for cities and destinations. Divided into two parts - 'Theory' and 'Practice' - the book critically analyses and summarises key underpinnings behind portfolio theory development and identifies key trends and issues in the event portfolio approach. It examines the processes of event portfolio development and management, leveraging, stakeholder networking and collaboration, portfolio design, risk assessment and evaluation. With a wide geographical reach, the book introduces the results of empirical research from different international case studies, including Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin in New Zealand, Canberra and Melbourne in Australia, and Manchester and Edinburgh in the UK. The Event Management Theory and Methods Series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism. Each compact volume contains overviews of mainstream management theories and methods, examples from the events literature, case studies, and guidance on all aspects of planned-event management. The series introduces the theory, shows how it is being used in the events sector through a literature review, incorporates examples and case studies written by researchers and/or practitioners, and contains methods that can be used effectively in the real world.Series editor: Donald Getz PhD., Professor Emeritus, University of Calgary, Canada.This is an indispensable specialist text for events students, scholars and practitioners.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first text to fully explore the issue of ownership and governance of international events. Split onto two distinct parts of Theory and Cases, it presents cases from sports as well as non-sports events, in addition to general principles regarding ownership and governance based on historical, legal and managerial considerations.Ownership and Governance of International Events explores these events as global common goods owned by communities of participants, be they athletes, spectators, visitors, tourists, fans, media consumers, local residents and their required partnership between public authorities (at local, regional and national levels) and private bodies (NGOs and commercial organisations).
