Managing Organizations for Sport and Physical Activity, fourth
edition, presents a clear and concise treatment of managing
organizations in sport and physical activity. The four functions of
management--planning, organizing, leading, and evaluating--provide
a general framework that represents the simplest and best approach
for introducing readers to the intricacies of management. For each
management function, Chelladurai presents relevant theories and
their practical applications, citing those theoretical models that
are most appropriate to the unique aspects of the sports industry.
He uses the open systems perspective, placing organizations in the
context of their environment and emphasizing the manager's role in
adapting and reacting to changes in that environment. To apply
theory to sport management practices, Chelladurai provides numerous
examples from the fields of physical activity and sport, including
professional sports, intercollegiate athletics, health and sports
clubs, and recreation/fitness programs. New to the Fourth Edition A
chapter on service quality, which describes the notion of quality
in sport management services--from the local fitness center to the
