Applied Sport Management Skills, Third Edition With Web Study
Guide, takes a unique and effective approach to teaching students
how to become strong leaders and managers in the world of sport.
Organized around the central management functions—planning,
organizing, leading, and controlling—this third edition addresses
the Common Professional Component topics outlined by the Commission
on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA). The text explains
important concepts but then takes the student beyond theories, to
applying those management principles and developing management
skills. This practical how-to approach, accompanied by unmatched
learning tools, helps students put concepts into action as sport
managers—developing the skills of creative problem solving and
strategic planning, and developing the ability to lead, organize,
and delegate. Applied Sport Management Skills, Third Edition, has
been heavily revised and touts a full-color format with 1,300 new
references. Content updates keep pace with industry trends,
including deeper discussions of legal liability, risk management
and equipment management, servant leadership, sport culture, and
social media. Particularly valuable are the special elements and
practical applications that offer students real opportunities to
develop their skills: Features such as Reviewing Their Game Plan
and Sport Management Professionals @ Work (new to this edition)
provide a cohesive thread to keep students focused on how sport
managers use the concepts on the job. Applying the Concept and
Time-Out sidebars offer opportunities for critical thinking by
having the student think about how specific concepts relate to a
sport situation or to the student’s actual experiences in sports,
including part-time jobs, full-time jobs, internships, and
volunteer work. Self-Assessment exercises offer insight into
students’ strengths and weaknesses and how to address
shortcomings. An enhanced web study guide is integrated with the
text to facilitate a more interactive setting with which to
complete many of the learning activities. Several of the exercises
require students to visit a sport organization and answer questions
to gain a better understanding of sport management. Skill-Builder
Exercises present a variety of scenarios and provide step-by-step
guidance on handling day-to-day situations such as setting
priorities, conducting job interviews, handling conflict, and
coaching employees to better performance. Sports and Social Media
Exercises offer Internet-based activities that expose students to
the role of social media in managing a sport organization. Students
are required to use popular social media sites such as Facebook,
Twitter, and LinkedIn and visit sport websites. Game Plan for
Starting a Sport Business cases put students in the driver’s seat
and ask them to perform managerial activities such as developing an
organization structure and formulating ideas on how to lead their
employees. The web study guide allows students to complete most of
the learning activities online or download them and then submit
them to the instructor. Instructors will also have access to a
suite of ancillaries: an instructor guide, test package, and
presentation package. Applied Sport Management Skills, Third
Edition, is a critical resource that provides students with a
thorough understanding of the management principles used in sport
organizations while also helping students developing their
practical skills. Students will appreciate the opportunity to begin
building a solid foundation for a fulfilling career in sport
management.
