and in need of interpretation. Whilst there are numerous short
entries and basic definitions, the emphasis has been placed on
terms with high relevance to planned events, and in particular to
theories, concepts and models specific to event studies. Multiple
usages, including quotations are provided, where relevant, to cover
the breadth of meanings and applications of the terms. Part of the
Event Management Theory and Methods Series. This series examines
the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop
event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of
event management and event tourism. They introduce the theory, show
how it is being used in the events sector through a literature
review, incorporate examples and case studies written by
researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be
used effectively in the real world. With online resource material,
this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need
theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by
students in need of reference works, by professionals wanting
increased understanding alongside practical methods, and by
agencies or associations that want their members and stakeholders
to have access to a library of valuable resources. Series editor:
