Simplify the complexities of sport governance with an engaging and
thought-provoking guide to how authority, policies, rules, and
regulations can influence decision making in sport organizations.
Governance in Sport: Analysis and Application With Web Resource
examines the structure of governance within sport organizations
across a breadth of levels and a variety of industry sectors to
prepare students to practice principles of good governance and
ethical decision making. The content is presented from three broad
perspectives: (1) Students will first learn the foundation of legal
and managerial practices in sport governance, encompassing ethical
behavior, effective leadership, decision making, and policy
development within sport organizations. (2) Once the groundwork is
established, a geographical framework explores the structures and
functions of regulatory agencies for sport at the local, state,
national, regional, and global levels. Students will gain an
appreciation for how agencies vary, as well as the differences in
for-profit, nonprofit, and quasi-public sport organizations at the
various levels. (3) Students will examine the nuances of sport
governance across selected sectors of the sport industry.
Professional sport, amateur sport, sport media, sporting goods and
licensing, and fitness, wellness, and health are presented
alongside the emerging and rapidly evolving sectors of sport
marketing, legalized sport wagering, and esports for a realistic
look at how governance is applied across different sectors. To
enhance practical application, a related web resource presents 12
in-depth case studies and debates on relevant examples of
governance in action within sports organizations. Each case study
provides thought-provoking perspectives, authored by industry
experts and scholars across sport business and academia. Students
will gain real-world understanding of how governance varies across
national and international levels by scrutinizing contemporary
issues such as the NCAA college basketball corruption scandal, the
NFL kneeling policy, Olympic host city selection, and poaching in
esports. Critical thinking skills are encouraged with
multiple-choice and discussion questions provided at the end of
each case study. Additional learning aids also help to connect
foundational knowledge to modern-day application. Governance in
Action boxes highlight key concepts and provide context in
relationship to recent events. Critical thinking questions
encourage classroom discussion, and end-of-chapter applied
activities help to solidify understanding. Providing an overview of
managing sport at all levels and all sectors, Governance in Sport
will help students develop an acute understanding of where power
resides, how decisions are made, and the impact of those factors on
the goals, purpose, and structure of sport organizations. Note: The
web resource is included with all new print books and some ebooks.
For ebook formats that don't provide access, the web resource is
available separately.
