The Olympics Games are the biggest and most significant mega-sport
event in the world. Planning and then staging the Olympic Games is
a highly complex task which is exasperated by the fact that the
Games are continually moving and not held consecutively in the same
city. This means that start-up knowledge is required for each
Olympics. Given the massive scale, scope and complexity of the
Games it is surprising that very little research has been published
that explores how the event is managed and organised. While the
Games themselves are held over two weeks, the planning and
preparation from bid stage to completion can be more than a decade
in the making. The express purpose of this volume is to critically
examine the planning, management and operation of the Olympic Games
as the world's premier mega-sport event. The authors analyse and
discuss how Olympic organisers and related stakeholders might
effectively manage and deliver the Games, taking into account what
has been learned from previous Olympics as well as the emergence of
models of best practice from the management, project management and
sport management literature.
